Boy, two people who don't know their way around the Bible and need an atheist to bring them up to speed. ;)

It was the apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 6:10. It's a rather stupid remark, but then Paul said a lot of goofy stuff.

Boy, right out of the blue and god makes an appearance. How crazy is that!


In any case, this is sooo misguided. There doesn't have to be a god for people to believe in one. Fact is, if it wasn't for theists I wouldn't be an atheist. It's only because some people believe there's a god that atheism exists.

It all has to do with belief, NOT any actual existence.

the·ism
/ˈTHēˌizəm/
noun: theism
belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in one god as creator of the universe, intervening in it and sustaining a personal relation to his creatures.
______________________________________

a·the·ism
/ˈāTHēˌizəm/
noun: atheism
disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

And isn't that nice of him. Guess I'm simply not worthy of his quirky sense of equity; holding back credible evidence and all.

The origin of my lack of belief is the lack of convincing evidence. If god exists then let him bring it on, because so far I haven't seen any.

Therefore as I said, God is the origin of your lack of belief that He exist for you admit
that He has withheld from you no convincing evidence to make you believe in Him.

To which brings us back to the fact that it is God that is the reason why you are an atheist.
If He did not exist you would not be an atheist.
