THE ATHEIST’S CHILDISHNESS

The atheist is the most credulous being there is, for his belief cannot be demonstrated and rests, essentially, on FAITH in his own personal belief.

He exalts science as the sole path to knowledge, ignoring that philosophy complements it, while in practice trying to use philosophy and ignoring that it is absolutely impossible to demonstrate scientifically that God does not exist.

The most absurd thing about some atheists is that, to free themselves from the moral dictates of their conscience and create a convenient morality of their own, allowing them to follow their tastes and give free rein to their passions, they fall into the deranged habit of spending their lives, like a child throwing a tantrum, trying to numb their own conscience by fighting what they say does not exist!

They do not understand that God is not known through scientific methods or laboratory tests, just as His nonexistence could not be demonstrated that way either; demanding this is as absurd and childish as asking an ant or a fly to investigate whether our brain exists and how it works.

The atheist is so credulous that he believes ALL things came from NOTHING, that matter produced itself, that LIFE arose from DEAD matter, that chance is ‘intelligent,’ that ORDER came from CHAOS, that matter can create spirit, that UNCONSCIOUSNESS produces CONSCIOUSNESS, or that beings capable of REASONING arose from the IRRATIONAL. One must be very credulous to believe any of this!

Some come to recognize their error in the maturity of their lives, but what certainty is there that they will reach it?
