Modern Atheism

Modern Atheism is derived from moral causes.  Mankind is sinful by nature and rebellious, and does not want God or anyone else telling them what to do or how to live.  American society as a whole, as have other societies, has adopted relativism—there are no absolutes.  This is “virtual” atheism.

If you talk to someone you can't see and hear, doctors consider you nuts. If you believe in a god who claims to want the salvation of everyone, yet does nothing to make himself know to the general public like speaking audibly, you are living out a contradiction. The Bible says the earth is 6,000 years old and science disproved that long ago. It is past time for you to wake up, old tortoise. It is 2023 and time to quit believing in talking serpents and donkeys. Atheism is for grown ups. It is the thinking man's philosophy.

Science has NOT proven any age of the earth; they just base their time on the false philosophy of evolution. The Bible is plain when talking of your ilk:
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Anonymous,
If you actually read the passage the author points out the proof for God and that those who ignore it "are without excuse." You are a foolish troll.
