Re: A question for Christians AND atheists
[ QUOTE ]
Atheism is hostility toward God, enmity with Him.
[/ QUOTE ]
If I wasn't an atheist I could answer, "If there were a god ... ". Atheism is merely a philosophical statement. Atheists, otoh, may have none or various hostilities. Those that have a hostility regarding their position tend to have it focused on things like bigoted thinking in the guise of religion, or some religion wanting to enforce compliance with their version of it, or if it gets personalized it'll be at narrow-minded, dogmatic bullies ( like a Falwell).
God is not something we can be hostile toward, by definition. Too bad, beause the flip side of the purpose the god-concept serves for religion could be a great tension reliever for atheists, it just doesn't work that way....darn.
