why is it that self claimed Atheists when they go to prove God isnt real , always come back believing He is ?

Question

Almost every past known Atheist who truley researched and with open mind and honesty...come back with the Facts the resurrection of Christ did indeed happen , and that the possibility of GOD is REAL.......
NONE say He doesnt exist or couldnt exist or denies the resurrection of Jesus Christ ( who is God) BUT all say..its possiable , and most likely He does and that ALL say Jesus Christ did raise from the dead by evidence ? And by ALL eyewitness accounts ? Even Lee Strobel the Editor of the Chicago Tribune who was an Atheist and a Journalist and Lawyer..in his search to disprove it found it to be REAL and God does exist and the facts , Jesus Christ did indeed raise from the dead ?

Answer 1

Amen to that,
God's Glory shines through the darkness!
To Him is all the Praise and thanksgiving indeed. God bless

Answer 2

When you undress, you are proving you have two arms, not that you don't have three. Here is a more apt comparison. If I claim there are aliens who frequently stop off at the top of the Empire State building, you will be unable to prove they do not. Say you try to put a camera there, so I either state that they are shy of cameras (and their technology lets them detect it) or they simply don't show up on it. So you decide to hang out up there for a while. I tell you either they are invisible, or they detected you and didn't stop off. The best you can prove, in any case is that there were no visible, detectable aliens there while you were there, but you cannot prove my aliens don't exist, nor that they don't ever stop off at the top of that building. What proof, precisely, could you ever provide? Now, what proof, precisely, could an atheist ever provide (even if we assume your god DOESN'T exist) that would prove non-existence. There would be none, even if your god doesn't exist.

"Almost every past known Atheist who truley researched and with open mind and honesty...come back with the Facts the resurrection of Christ did indeed happen , and that the possibility of GOD is REAL......."

Do you have any examples other than Lee Strobel?

Answer 4

For one to suggest that the resurrection is a historically substantiated event is revealing a willingness to believe in just about anything.

Scholar James A. Keller said it best:

"All we have is other people's accounts of what the eyewitnesses purportedly saw, and these accounts are typically sketchy and were written many years later. Thus, the historian who wants to understand what the resurrection event was must use later, sketchy, second-hand accounts of what the eyewitnesses saw, and from these accounts he must try to determine what the resurrection event was."

FACE IT: The Flying Spaghetti Monster has as much empirical evidence of being our creator as the Christian God does. To suggest otherwise is simply intellectual dishonesty.

Answer 5

"Almost every past known Atheist who truley researched and with open mind and honesty...come back with the Facts the resurrection of Christ did indeed happen , and that the possibility of GOD is REAL.......", you must be kidding!

Answer 6

Your use of the word 'always' and 'almost every' sound good but yet you give one example of someone who was atheist and now is christian. Wow, I am impressed. I could probably find several thousand examples of the opposite. It still stands that there is almost no evidence that Jesus even existed and absolutely no evidence that he ever rose from the dead. It is all simply stories from The Big Book of Christian Mythology (i.e. the bible).

Answer 7

Your one example of Lee Strobel does not prove your premise of "almost every past known atheist." I know many, many atheists who are incredibly well-versed in the elements of various religions and who have studied the philosophical and theological arguments for and against the existence of god/s...and are still atheists. Sorry!

Answer 8

Good day to you, random ranting zealot. We regret to inform you that you are incorrect in your assertion related to Lee Strobel. The professed objectivity of his works has been shown to be utterly lacking.

We infer by your dogmatic rant that 'open mind and honesty' would only be applied to those individuals who were swayed to your opinion. Thus anyone who set forth to show the minimal probability of a god (which is an infinitely more accurate description of their goal) and returned reassured of their stance would be instantly discounted by individuals such as yourself. That being said, please cite some examples of this miraculous conversion you profess.

Answer 9

I didn't know of any true Atheist that waste their time seeking to prove or disprove God. It's sorta like, against their religion...so to speak.

Answer 10

Bull poopy!!

Jesus, guy . . . everybody here knows you're talking out your rear orifice.

The supernatural – including God, heaven, hell, Satan and tooth fairies – is an invention of the human imagination. The following is for those who believe in the supernatural or indulge other fantasies in preference to reality.

Faith and logic are antithetical. If religious adherents would admit that they believe for PERSONAL, rather than logical, reasons, THEN they would be honest about their "faith". But it’s dishonest to claim one's faith is logical – faith is a personal position, not a logical conclusion.

Faith and doubt always go hand in hand. Faith without doubt is BLIND faith. It takes a closed mind to sublimate doubt to the point of blind faith. Normal people leaven their faith with a little common sense. Doubt always nibbles at the edges of their faith. After all, without doubt, faith would have no context, no purpose, no meaning, no point. Would it?

Because there is no evidence for anything supernatural (including God), NOBODY can claim ANY knowledge of it. Anybody who does is lying or delusional. It takes suspension of disbelief to believe in the supernatural: one must convince oneself that the impossible is possible. This is the opposite of curiosity. You have one life, one quest: yet you choose to surrender it to something you can’t possibly know anything about.

When people talk about faith, they're usually talking about the supernatural: God, angels, miracles, etc. There is, of course, lots of doubt involved because the supernatural is entirely outside the human (natural) realm. It's not so much that God or angels can't exist . . . the real point is that NOBODY has access to the supernatural and thus NOBODY knows ANYTHING about it. Anybody who claims to have faith in something he knows absolutely nothing about is actually confessing to placing his imagination before, and above, his intellect.

Imagination has its place . . . but not where life decisions are involved. Placing imagination above intellect is surrendering your quest for meaning. You are surrendering the meaning of your life to your religion; to your version of God.

And that's fine. Just be honest about it. You made a leap of faith. Your faith is a personal position – not a valid logical conclusion.
