I did say Christianity is irrational as a whole, just as about everything else in this world is.
One should not make fun of the wisdom that there is to learn out there in this world. If you believe that almost everything in this world is irrational then maybe it is yourself who is irrational and unable to make sense of the world? I am not character assasinating, but when I hear someone say just about everything in the world is irrational I think of someone who expects to Understand and disagree at the same time, which just does not occur in this world. One cannot understand and disagree at the same time. So we often Do not understand something, we shouldn't call it irrational. WE simply disagree with it. I guess we can get confused over how other people use words. But there is a lot of rationality in the child molesters mind when they commit their crime, that is what makes evil attractive to humans, we can find ways to make anything rational if our mind enjoys it. Whether it is good or not is a different discussion.
... I never remarked that Christians are cowards. You read my post wrongly.
I mearly defend the atheist who you say is a coward if they turn to Christianity. It is like saying if murderer goes to his victim and asks for forgiveness he is a coward, in my mind at least I see this resemblance to what you said.
...or to prove that there is no God.
One cannot disprove there is a God, but one can explore the feeling you get if you start to believe there is God. If you had a tablet you could swallow which would instantly make you believe in God and follow God with all your heart would you take it? If you say no, then why do you bother trying to prove if there is a God? God is a gift, not a hinderance, no one who has God in their life will say it makes their life inconvenient, so why would you want to deny God? Forget about religious institutions, the relationhip with you and God is a personal one, one you can do all by yourself.
I know a lot of atheists and agnositc people through my work. To them I say, try to talk to yourself more and ask yourself questions inside your head or out loud. Maybe these questions are about things you fear, or maybe its about your life, or what you want to do with your life, or maybe its about something you do not know an answer for. The more we talk to ourselves about things we have no answer for the more we begin to be inspired with a voice inside of ourselves trying to tell us perhaps you should start doing something about it.
And that is a very hypothetical and exclusive postulation as well (lost: This is the evil spirit of the world, the spirit of apathy and indifference which goes against Christainity and is the cowards way of living.) - it doesn't explain the behaviour of altruistic atheists and other non-Christains.
The apathetic approach to God doesn't aim to explain the seperation between Christian and Non-Christians. A reverence for a God is not religion based and belongs not to Chrsitians, Hindu's or whatever. It is a binary choice, yes or no, God or no God. There are those that say YES there is God and they know why, there are those who say NO there is no God and they know why through serving the material world, then there are those who say I DONT KNOW, they must research and find out, but they are easily sucked into the I DONT CARE group, the apathetic group where simply doing nothing is easiest. It is like you stand on a burning boat and are too afraid to go anywhere. We are all on this burning boat, we will all die, do you simply want to sink and thats it? Or do you want to find some way aroudn the boat while it burns and somewhere to go after the boat is sunk. Some people simply dont care about this, that is the negative spirit.
