The existence of God is axiomatic. If one attacks an axiom one undermines the bases of one's own existence. The Bible states that such a person is a fool, a person with a morally perverse mind. The more meaningful questions are: Is God good or evil? Is it possible to know God? Has God revealed Himself to humanity at any time in our history? If so what does He reveal about Himself and us? Does He have a purpose in this creation? Can I speak to God? Does God communicate with human beings? Will he communicate with me? How can I know the answers to these questions? If you have decided in your heart there is no God then all the answers to these questions, and more, and a life full of meaning and significance is closed to you. Why would anyone who claims to have a curious intelligence, with a desire to know as much about this life as possible, close that door? God Himself has promised that if we seek Him we shall find Him, if we search for Him with all our heart.

Think of all the qualities you most desire to find in another person and to be yourself. Qualities such as truthfulness, faithfulness, lovingkindness, gentleness, meekness, patience, humility. These qualities are all the qualities of God. If you love these qualities then you love God. If you hate these qualities then you hate God. This is why only God is wholly good. Only He is a perfect manifestation of these qualties we all agree are good. He has eternally defeated evil in Himself and He has provided a Way for us to do the same. This is the meaning of the Cross. Through the Cross we can enter into Him, into His Life, His Truth. He then enters into us and forms in us a perfect union with Himself. This is why we are here. This is the meaning of life. None of this can be yours as long as you believe in your heart that there is no God.
