How to convince an atheist that God exists
Many Christians appear to hold to the mistaken belief that atheism is a cheap cop-out. It’s merely a position that’s adopted for the sake of being allowed to live a life freed from any moral authority, it’s assumed. That accusation was even thrown in my face several times by Christians when I was an atheist.
