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.

In his article “On Being an Atheist‚” H. J. McCloskey makes an entertaining‚ but in the end inadequate‚ explanation as to why the arguments for God’s existence fail (limiting himself to the only two he cared to deal with)‚ and why Atheism provides more comfort to the hurting person than Theism.
