Robin Scumacher: When was the last
time you read a work by a Christian apologist such as William Lane Craig, Ravi
Zacharias, or Norman Geisler that worked through the philosophical and
evidential arguments for Christianity? Have you ever contemplated things like,
because our world exists, something must have always existed, and when you point
to the universe as that eternal ‘something’ you exhibit a lot of ‘faith’ in the
process?
Also ask yourself: is the reason you’re an atheist really based
on supposed evidence, reason, and such, or is it more emotive in nature and
grounded upon personal things that have happened to you in the past? For
example, a recent CNN article about
Ted Turner described how he once dreamed of being a missionary, but watching his
young sister Mary Jean suffer and die from a disease dramatically altered his
early belief in God.
So there you have it – my do’s and don’ts for atheists this
Christmas. If you’re an atheist, kindly consider these suggestions and see what
following the recommendations brings you. Hopefully, they will provide a richer
experience during this time than you’ve had in the past. Christian News.
