Hi Koan I'm not sure how you got "No, athiests are simply saying they don't believe in a god." out of my post. The review I posted, dealt specifically with the argument from evil used by a certain Atheist who first claimed Evil does not exist. Yes: it is a common tactic and yes: it is demonstratively self contradictory. To positively assert that Good and Evil do not "actually" exist, and then turn around in the next breath and use Good and Evil to attack Christianity is self defeating rhetoric. Nothing more. "They are not saying they know there is no god, or that it has anything to do with evil." Sure they are: and they do so on a regular basis. "That the claim of gods is like a claim there are unicorns. Until I see a horn, there is no way I can believe, using logic!!" First: no one claims that unicorns have actual existence so that's s silly example. Second: Do you need to "SEE" everything before you believe logically. What does that mean for blind people? Are they prevented from believing in the Sun? If you are talking about sense perception in general: how do you establish sense perception as the only criteria for truth. I suppose I should also ask you what 2+2 is in your universe as well. "All athiests are saying is, show me the evidence and I will change my mind." It's been my experience that those kind of Atheists are very few and far between. Although, Tony Flew may be an exception to the general rule. amazon.com
