Does God Believe in Atheists?

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:40:05 +0000

Is there such a thing as an atheist?

Man has a bias - an hostility to God. The truth about God is suppressed and exchanged for a lie. Anything that removes God from the equation is clung to.

And why? The ultimate aim is to remove any concern of the final judgement. But shouting loud does not remove the inevitable - wrath is stored up for the day is judgement.
