Answering Atheism

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 16, 2015

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.

“The fool has said in his heart, there is no God,” Psalm 14:1. Jesus warned against lightly calling people fools in Matthew 5:22. “Anyone who says 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Hell.” A “fool” is not an unintelligent, dim-witted person. The term ...read more
