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."

You stated that I "acknowledge" my "inability to explain the origins of" God; it is without doubt that such a statement subtly requests its counter.

Yes, I have shown you part; it is written boldly to you, ma'am. You do not accept it as substantial because it is not the answer you seek, and yet I have made implied to you, the way of the answer you seek is not the way at all. I have written to you.

Of course, gravity and gravitational waves are different, ma'am. I kept these in two different sentences even.
And yes, we are actually not firmly grounded, and the earth is falling towards the sun, and it is good that one has knowledge of this. However, do come to realise that though you alone are whom I converse with on this thread, the eyes of others fall upon, and surely not every of these persons has knowledge of this. I cannot come to bring about confusion but rather put them into consideration, writing to simplicity.

"Are you saying that people who wear glasses are not using their eyes? Do you feel that people who wear hearing aids are not using their ears?"; I do not seem to get your point.

"How much confidence would you feel in an optometrist who suggested that an ‘impartial heart’ would correct your vision?"; how do you conclude to use that as example? Physical matters and spiritual matters are two different things, just as day and night are.

Realise ma'am that I wrote "Those", meaning it is in reference to not just 1 person but numbers of people/not specifically to one individual. I have put no words in your mouth.
