The Bible doesn’t mince words. It calls the atheist a "fool" (see Psalm 14:1) and speaks of "his foolish heart" being "darkened." It says that certain godless man are "proud, knowing nothing," and that they are "obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth..." (1 Timothy 6:4-5).
How can any person have meaningful dialog with someone who is unreasonable and refuses to call creation what it is--a creation? But the root of the corrupt tree isn’t atheism—-it's pride (see Psalm 10:4). I am encouraged that some, who profess to be atheists, write to me outside of this blog, and some even show up at the ministry for lunch or just to chat.
These types of people are open-minded, show a measure of humility, and they are the very reason this blog exists.
Please, soften your heart and think about the issues of life and death. You only get one chance at life. Don't blow it.
