Prophet of Zod | The Christian Says in his Heart, "There is no Atheist" @ProphetofZod | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
There's a trend among some Christians to deny the very existence of atheists. It's not enough to say that atheists are wrong about God. They say that people who claim to be atheists actually deep down know God exists but pretend he doesn't or somehow subconsciously suppress the knowledge in their hearts. There are various reasons for this. For one, it makes an easy rhetorical strategy for dealing with ideas they don't want to confront. Also, there are aspects of Christian doctrine that can encourage this thinking in some people. Parts of the Bible (such as Romans 1:20) speak ill of non-believers and claim they are suppressing truth in unrighteousness - and overall, it's hard to come to terms with sincere nonbelief when you believe in a God who is all powerful, wants everybody to believe, and condemns those who don't to eternal torment.
Today we'll be focusing on the consequences this kind of thinking, namely how it encourages some Christians to engage in unconstructive conversations with atheists and others in "The World."
