C S Lewis on atheism

“Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.”

C. S. Lewis

"No meaning?" Is that what atheists think about the universe? Are you sure about that? Or are you going to take the word of a fiction writer as your evidence?
One thing's for the sure. There's no unsupported arrogance like that of a believer. Unreal.

No, that's what theists like to falsely claim Atheists think about the universe.

Of course there is no meaning if you’re an atheist. You are just an accident@Sharon

@Mathers Who the hell are you to spew that shit bud? Just with that line alone I could come up with 50 little passages from your cult book showing why you're pissing all over your god. Walking the walk is absolutely out of the question for you dudes, huh? It's twisted.

You realise what you’ve just said doesn’t make sense like the rest of what you say@Ynotisay

@Mathers It does make sense, you just can't understand it.
