Atheists
What is up with these people? Here's my take on being an atheist. I enjoy talking to people who are Christians. I enjoy talking to people who are Muslims. I enjoy talking to people who are Jews or Hindus or Buddhists. Or New agers. Or agnostics. I don't enjoy talking to atheists. Someone wrote a book explaining how the universe is too big for God to have created it. Huh? This goes directly to my problem with atheists. How can a human being know everything there is to know? That's what it would take for me to come to the conclusion that there cannot be a God. Anything short of omniscience is not good enough. If God created the universe, I tirelessly repeat, how can we make Him subject to its laws that He set up? I don't see God as part of the universe. I don't see the universe as part of God. I see the universe as God's creation and that He can interact with it anytime He feels like doing so. How can we prove there is a God? How can we prove there isn't? The haughty say you can't disprove a negative. Well, I don't see what that has to do with God as he is not part of the universe and is not subject to its laws and we are not equipped to detect Him unless He, the creator of the universe, wants us to. Therefore, I just don't get atheism. If you folks are angry at God, that's your business. If placing your hand on the Bible and swearing to nothing (I would think that was an advantage) somehow offends you, I'm sorry you're so delicate. Just stay away from me. I can't get a meaningful conversation out of you. If I did, I probably wouldn't understand what we were talking about because I'm not omniscient like you. Do me a favor and admit you just don't know and we'll get along just fine. Be an agnostic.
