Do Christians ever read up on atheist philosophy?

Answer 1

Yes,,we do a lot actually..more than you know obviously.
A large and growing group called CARM "Christian Apologetics Research Ministry" is a group that studies this and refutes Athieism by studying it, it is kind of like playing chess.
You have to know what the opposition is going to say and have a refutation against it, but.. knowing that they know what you are going to say, they will have a refutation against your refutation, so we have a refutation against that refutation, and this process is continued until we have a refutation that cannot be refutated against. to do this we have to obviously study in great detail what the opposition is saying.

Answer 2

Not as much as I should, but yes I do read atheist philosophy, I have to if I am going to be able to point out the errors and explain why they are errors.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as "atheist philosophy". Atheists simply don't see any evidence for god. Do you see evidence for a great purple stiped hippopotomus that lives on the moon, Unicorns, Flying 2 headed Dragons, or the Easter Bunny? If you don't, then is your belief that there is no Purple Striped Hippopotomus a philosophy? Or is it simply that you know there is no such thing?

Answer 4

properly, a sparkling and decisive opinion on such "rudimentary" issues, which includes creationism vs evolution, homosexuality, and so on., can certainly outline to three human beings no matter if a conception gadget *might want to* be pursued. also, Atheists do no longer evaluate Christianity because of that's center theory: God. Atheists see the information that persons recommend for God, to be explainable by technology. Many further would take that physics, in and of itself, precludes a concept of God, yet i imagine the substantial element is they see technology explaining what became previously labelled as "God". So if it is going that the time-honored element of a faith or conception gadget is pretend, what's the point of pursuing something else of the conception gadget?

Answer 5

All the INTELLIGENT Christians I know are fairly up to date on skeptical & atheistic porposals. My friend the rev often approaaches me with stuff I haven't yet seen from Dawkings, Dennet, Kurtz, etc. But like I said, those are the smart ones.

Answer 6

No I am not interested. I read enough of the questions posed by atheist to know that I don't want to be one. They seem to be an angry bunch. I like the light of God's word, and the beauty of Jesus too much. What does atheism offer, no hope. Bad temper and just generally pi$$ed off with the world,especially against those that live in the light of God. I'll pass, thank you.

Answer 7

What, the arguments against god? Atheists don't have a philosophy, except they don't believe in god. The rest is all up for grabs - that's why people say organizing atheists is like herding cats.

Answer 8

Yes, I read some of their philosophy. I am a christian. They look to science to prove their theories, We look to the bible, and biblical facts and proofs, but its all about faith. Which is what Athiests have a hard time understanding.

Answer 9

i have studied many religions and yes i have read up on atheism, and i see thier is nothing to base a belief in but yourself, no creator, no one to look upon for hope, to me there is no philosophical logic, it's a bunch of made up garbage, i chose to follow what the holy bible teaches , something that has been handed down through the generations since the begining of time , not some mumbo jumbo made up belief, god rules

Answer 10

Of course many of us have studied atheist philosophy, it lets us know just how lost mankind is when men worship their own wisdom rather than the wisdom that created them.
