Id say 9/10 atheist I have met are arrogant, selfish, prideful, lustful. I really believe its just an excuse for you to do those fleshly sins. Without being held accountable to their creator. They think its fantasy. I was brought up in an atheist home. And was taught that. When I was little, I don't know why, but I refused to believe it. I remember trying to find out because I would ask my self who created us. Then I met my best friend in elementary school and he introduced me to God. I believe his purpose for knowing me is to do so. I am sure he had many more for other people. Unfortunately now, he is passed away. If you are into conspiracy theories there is more reasons to not doubt God. Because from the information I know about them, they are real and coming true.
I just don't know what to tell Atheist when they say faith is not good enough =( They need more. Well when you see your self the fire and brimstone will that be enough? Probably not =(

It is a common misperception that faith presupposes the absence of proof. There is the story of Doubting Thomas (
John 20: 24-29), after all. Thomas had been witness to many miracles, including the raising of Lazarus, yet he did not believe.
Even a person's sworn testimony may be proof enough to some people. Our proof is what we find written in the Gospels and what we have heard from our pastors, our parents, and perhaps others. We DO have proof, yet it is still faith. What would be proof enough for them?
