The Case for Atheism

Wow.  In a word ... Amazing.

This 2-DVD debate between Tood "Freakishly Tall" Friel (Wretched Radio), and an atheist named Dan.

This is a powerful debate.  Not really fair, because Todd has the Armour of God, the Sword of the Spirit, history, science, ethics, and the law on his side.  Poor Dan has only feelings.   One of those feelings is hatred for God. 

It needs to be stated that there is no such thing as an atheist.  An atheist is someone who claims "There is no God."  This is a self-defeating statement.  In order to state this, you would need to know everything there is to know about everything in the universe.  That would make you God, which is the opposite of your posit.

Dan claimed to have been a Christian in the past, but described someone who doesn't understand the basics of what it means to be a Christian.  Clearly - even today - he doesn't know what a Christian is.    He said he drove all around for years trying to "earn" good works.  This clearly demonstrates that he doesn't understand what separates Christianity from all other religious systems.  It is not about works.  You cannot earn your way to heaven.  He said he spoke in tongues, and could still speak in tongues.  Another clear sign he is not truthful.  He doesn't believe there is a spirit, but he can display it? Wow.  He kept using the phrase "fruits" of the spirit.  Scripture does talk about the "fruit" of the spirit.  It is not plural.  Yet another thing he does not understand.

He described his mother, who also claimed to have been a Christian in the past, but felt so happy after becoming an atheist, because she didn't have to "HATE" any more.  What a perverted idea of what it means to be saved.  Scripture clearly teaches that if you claim to be a Christian, but you hate anyone, you are a liar, and guilty of murder.  (1 John 2:9, 1 John 3:15)  It really makes you wonder what kind of sick cult this family was indoctrinated into.  It breaks my heart to see someone so lost, so full of hate, while claiming to know what light is. It sounds like he has replaced his hatred for people with a hatred for God. 

This is a great DVD.  I highly recommend it for everyone.
