Pamho, agtSP!

 

Hare Krishna! I'm sorry that there has not been happening so much in here

lately. I'm kind of busy these days. But here is a little something. I would

appreciate if someone would comment upon this and correct spelling errors -

and all other kinds of errors.

 

Thank you in advance!

Atheists are inconsistent

 

If atheism is true, then we have no reason to think that absolute and

objective values exists. In such a scenario all values will be relative, and

thus no value can be said to be better than other values. Not only will all

values be relative, but there will also not be any rational reason to choose

one action over another action. The atheist has no more reason to get out of

bed in the morning than to stay in bed. The atheist has no more reason to

choose living than not to choose living. All the choices atheist makes could

just as well have been the exact opposite. It would not have made any

difference. In short, the lifes of atheists are utterly meaningless.

 

But the atheist can not help but giving more value to certain things and

actions than to other things and actions, and they can not help but choosing

one action over another action. They do it all the time, just like everyone

else. Thus the atheists gives value to certain actions and they act as if

these actions are better than other actions even though nothing has any

value according to their own worldview. When an atheist gives value to a

given thing or action, then they create a worldview or a philosophy that is

directly contradicting the fact, that if atheism is true, then nothing has

more value than anything else.

 

Because atheists can not help creating a worldview or philosophy in which

they give more value to certain things and actions than to other things and

actions, and because they can not help acting as if their worldview or

philosophy is true, then it is in practice impossible to be consistent in

ones atheism, and that is in and of itself a practical argument against the

proclaimed truth of atheism. In fact, when we observe that no human can not

help but giving value to certain things then it is probably more rational to

conclude that values comes from an absolute and objective source. And since

we never see values that does not come from living beings, then it becomes

obvious that behind absolute and objective values there must be an objective

and absolute living being, God.

 

So, if it has to make sense to get out of bed in the morning, to help

others, to turn left instead of right, then theism has to be true. Otherwise

everything is meaningless.
