Kreitsauce's Musings

We’ve already talked about how difficult it is to prove you are living a good life without God. Now I want to turn your attention to the motivation behind goodness. Again, I’m not arguing that atheists can’t be moral people. What I am arguing is that Christianity is by default a superior belief system because it motivates people to be good. Atheism does nothing of the sort. Show me one person who can honestly say: “My atheism was what caused me to live a moral, honest, and upright life.” It doesn’t happen.

What you will see is people who gain a sense of purpose, a drive from their Christian faith to do wonderful things for those around them. It’s true, not every believer is morally upright all the time, but most people are better for their faith. Christianity offers an example of true morality in Christ, a confidence and trust that God will complete the work of righteousness He started within, and instruction to love God and our fellow man. What does atheism have that compares to this?

That’s what I thought.
