My Thoughts
- It seems that the more intelligent you are you realize that the idea of a God is probably non-existent. Yet, once you view the world and see the results of atheism you realize that human beings overall need a common connection of rules and wisdom to guide them through life.
- Atheism and their sponsors ignore the fact that human beings want to live in a society with common values and beliefs that unite for the common good.
- Atheism hasn’t been able to solve this issue; its a fundamental human need
- What is more important?
- Fundamental Truth or Stories that help you live successfully?
