Why I Am Not an Atheist: Christianity, Atheism, Faith & Reason

From meditations-on-life.com comes a good essay on why you should not be an atheist.  Here’s the intro on why the writer is not an atheist:

“I am not an Atheist because Atheism requires far too much Faith!  Contrary to the claims of many prominent atheists, atheism is not merely the absence of belief, nor does Atheism free you from being committed to unprovable assumptions.  On the contrary, if you claim that human life was not the result of intelligent design (i.e., that humans have no teleological  cause), then you are necessarily committing yourself to the position that human life is the result of non-rational, random forces (and that we have no teleological cause).”

The writer then examines some of the problems that arise if atheism is accepted as true.  These are assumptions that many atheists make (and must make) without even realizing they are doing it!  While Christians acknowledge their faith, atheists tend to be deluded about theirs.  Reason shmeason.

This essay ends with the writer’s own experience of God as a Christian.  I never get tired of hearing believers share their testimonies about God’s goodness!
