[MD] The Prayer of Atheists

[david buchanan]

Kevin and all MOQers

Kevin Perez quoted from "Prelude to Prayer: The Prayer of Atheists" by 
Ichiro Okumura:
"...Even those who think they have definitely rejected God are never 
rejected by God, or they would disappear like a shooting star! A being 
capable of denying God would have to be another God or superior to God; yet 
the existence of another God (given that God is infinite) would be in 
radical contradiction to the divine nature. The rejection of God is nothing 
other than the fruit of a despair springing from the impossibility of 
"ridding oneself" of God once and for all. This eternal attack on God whom 
we cannot deny, and the anguish of the soul torn by this failure, would, on 
the contrary, constitute the paradoxical proof of God's existence..."

dmb says:
The existence of atheists proves the existence of God? Man, that is pure 
drivel. That's sheer nonsense. Disappear like a shooting star? You've gotta 
be kidding me. This is exactly the kind of meaningless, convoluted logic 
that gives religion a bad name. Its getting "in the way".  ;-)
