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

Hogwash. Atheism means no belief in God(s)

“There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point… The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it.”

― Richard Dawkins

His words sound great don’t they - perfectly meaningless though! Try telling that to someone on benefits. @TrashCat

@Mathers What does that have to do with the archaic belief in a supreme deity?

Mathers · 61-69

Except it is not archaic. But even if it is, being old doesn’t mean it is wrong. Mankind has believed in breathing for a long time and that doesn’t make it wrong. You are a true disciple of the illogical Hitchens @TrashCat

@Mathers Stay foucused. there is not one shred of evidence of a God(s).
Because we do not have answers, the default is not "God(s). It means they undiscovered.

Who is "Hitchens", old man? 😂

Mathers · 61-69

Because you have your eyes closed and cannot see doesn’t mean to say the evidence is not there. It is perfectly obvious when you open your eyes. It is a matter of worldview. We do not believe in the God of the gaps to cover things we haven’t discovered we believe in the God who made everything and designed everything we can see where they discovered or not discovered. You are in great error here in your lack of perception @TrashCat
