I Am An Atheist

An unbelieving man once encountered a Christian & questioned him; "who created God?". The Christian answered truthfully; "No one created God. He is eternal; He has no beginning and has no end.". The unbelieving man counted His words ludicrous and ridiculed him away, but the christian called him back & spoke; " you have asked, 'who created God', and I have answered you truthfully yet you scorn me. God created the human mind so do not expect that you will be able to grasp even the a fraction of a quarter of His being. And if I chose to lie to you instead, saying "yes, God was created", you would go on again and ask, "who created the being who created God?"; and if I were to go on again & answer that to your expectation, you would ask even further, "who created the being whom created the being whom created the being whom created God?"; and then I shall answer that to your expectation, and on and on and on, we would continue, until we shall both die. And when in death, shall your knowledge profit your soul in anyway, saving it from hell? - since your biased heart sought after knowledge rather than life eternal instead - and have I not so much as damned my soul to hell too in that I sought to please your ears, telling you lies?

Indeed there is knowledge abundant, but in knowledge there is right and wrong knowledge, in that only one is profitable for the soul. Seek it with wisdom."

Ma'am, If such a thought - as to expurgate - was what I had in mind, then I would have taken the most common route of merely deleting our conversation, or the thread as a whole, rather than leaving replies still. I suppose you can agree with me on that.

I ask that you please forgive my act of rudeness performed earlier on, ma'am; I had no awareness of this then, now my folly has been made known. From the beginning of our dialogue till before my previous reply, I have regarded you with respect - even now - but in the use of the words "major smh" and capitalization of some certain words, I have shown utter contempt. Please, do forgive my folly. I am sorry.

God is spirit - invisible to the naked eye but as plain as day to the eyes of the hearts of those who whole-heartedly seek Him - He would be made fully manifest to us but sin separates us from Him, and for that reason Christ came, laying His life on the cross, that whomever repents of his/her sins, believing in Him, might come to be saved from the judgement for (homing) sin, being bought into His righteousness, and to also come to know God, having a relationship with Him as Father & Child - just as originally intended.
Though sin separates us from God, He is still made known to us via creation & the conscience - seeing the marvel (in complexity) of everything and the presence of a struggle of 'right-or-wrong'/the conscience in us. In acknowledging this, one then feels driven to seek out this unknown creator & the person who whole-heartedly does, finds Him - surely He said, "whomever seeks Him out whole-heartedly will find Him; He will reveal Himself unto such a one."
We - Christians - are affirmed in our faith because we know God. We have believed in the Gospel of Christ, and the Spirit of God, who dwells in us, working daily in us, by strenghtening us in faith & in the battling of our flesh(ly desires)/carnality.

Religion has a 'feel good' factor but not Christianity. Christians are made new in heart and mind - the change is wholly felt even - and walk in the Spirit - and He is felt in us indeed. Ask people who follow religion if they feel the same as we do - outside of their temples and shrines/gatherings even - and you will receive NOs; and that is because they are grounded on false hope and their walks is just to follow practices and traditions; no sovereign entity is realised in them.

God is spirit, ma'am; He cannot be discovered by man's common method of 'discovery by the use of either of the 5 senses'. To find Him is to search with the heart. You have said to prove to you God and here, I have shown you part, the other half lays on your path. If bias is not in you, and your claim is true, you will search Him out and I assure you you will find Him, and then you will see for yourself how it is that I told you truth all while.
Consider this even, ma'am; in order that man was able to discover the unseen - for example, gravitational waves - he deviated from his common method of 'discovery by the 5 senses'. Before gravity was realised, man assured himself that surely there is something causing the feet to be grounded & keeping the earth from falling, and then he discovered this thing, and not even by his 5 senses but mechanical devices. He deviated from the use of 'discovery by 5 senses' to find, for if he hadn't, he would not have found. Same is akin to finding God - only that in this case, an impartial heart is in place of the 5 senses here.

Those who say that, "No! Because with my eyes, I have not seen Him, and neither by mine ears have I heard Him, there is no god, so unless otherwise, there is no god!", are hypocrites in themselves, in that they sanction the spatial discoveries of man, which was not even firslty realised by the 5 senses, but first by assurance in its existence - even though then unseen - and second by realisation of its existence by use of mechanical devices (e.g infrared telescopes and optical telescopes)
