Looking at my bookshelf I see no less than eight books with titles such as The God Delusion, God and Religion, The Atheists Bible, God is not Great, The Varities of Religious Experience, and the Portable Atheist. With the exception of a couple, most of these titles were published in the past few years. Back in in Georgia, I would visit Borders books every week. In the beginning I noticed that a few books on antheism would be placed in the religion section, but not many. But it wasn't long before Atheism had its very own section.
I'm not sure the official structures of the church have done a great job explaining at the most basic level - why should a person believe in God? Because we in the church have not done a great job, others are asking that question on behalf of the church and their conclusions are not the same. This topic interests me on many levels, but perhaps the most important one is that this topic is a hot one.
Why should we believe in (a) God?
The first night of our Rekindle the Gift Wednesday's will focus on that very question. We'll look at the common (and increasingly popular) reasons given for NOT believing in God. We'll look at classical philosphoical proofs of God's existence, and of course, we'll share our own thoughts and experiences.
Wednesday, September 3 - 8:15am or 6:30pm - Rekindle the Gift - Why Believe in God?
