  • I notice a series of posts on social media by atheists that show something needs to be done if we want to win their hearts with love, truth, and calm sincerity, free from sectarianism.
    Those who seriously hold this view are not saying that life is meaningless, that ethics are impossible, or that believers are stupid. They are saying that the specific claims of classical theism—a personal, revealed, morally perfect, intervening God—do not withstand the same scrutiny we apply to any other extraordinary claim about the world. The memes are crude because the format demands it. The underlying position, when honest, is this: the universe we see is exactly what you would expect if there were no one running the show.

  • God's "no" is a "yes" to His will.
    All reality is a "yes" from God; for us, finite creatures, this "yes" may appear as a "no" precisely when it goes against what we desire at the moment. This inversion has three meanings: it teaches (God cannot be manipulated), it reveals the abyss between the Creator and the creature (between the one who receives existence and the One who is Existence itself), and it preserves the true relationship (I-Thou).
