time of need‚ the church has never comforted me in my time of need. The knowledge I have when I wake up in the morning‚ that Christ lives within me and the comfort he gives through the Holy Spirit is what gets me through. That’s the one thing about atheism that I just do not understand. How can you bear to open your eyes in the morning if you do not have that hope and that comfort. In some ways it appears to me that he confuses Christianity with doctrines that do not believe in medical assistance when

After reviewing McCloskey’s article it is clear to say that he wanted to truly appeal to an atheist audience. McCloskey refers to the arguments as "proofs"‚ which means that he is trying to insinuate that these arguments are not scientifically proven and are not based on facts. A proof is a statement that is unquestionable and lead to an end.

When I was getting older‚ I’ve always had my doubt about religion. I have a question that how people have and choose their religion.

There are also lots of pseudo-religions that are trying to cheat other people in order to get money. So while living for about 20 years in Korea‚ most of people who are on the wrong way forced me to believe
