    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
     | 663 views

    Answering Atheism

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 16, 2015
     | 4,317 views

    Militant anti-theism claims that religion is the root of all evil...yet this worldview presents an intangible definition of evil. The problem with atheism is moral, an excuse to live any way one pleases...while Christianity offers a clear view of life.
