"A lot of atheists say they believe in love, but their definition of love is different from ours. They think love is just about feelings and emotions. But the Christian definition of love is based on the love of God, which is sacrificial and unconditional. And that's a much deeper and more meaningful kind of love." "A lot of atheists also think that they can only know what they can see or experience. But that's not always the case. For example, we can't see or experience gravity, but we know that it exists because we can see its effects. In the same way, we can't see or experience God, but we can see his effects in the world around us. "So, I would encourage atheists to not be so quick to dismiss the Christian definition of love or the existence of God. If they are willing to open their minds and hearts, they may be surprised at what they find." Oscar Navarro, Living Waters podcast, ep  Former Atheist.  <<< return to prev page 

That is actually a false dichotomy.   There are many things that we believe in that we cannot see, such as love, justice, and the past. Also our senses can be deceived, so we cannot rely on them exclusively either. Consider this: Do you believe in love? Can you see love ? Do you believe in justice? Can you see justice? Do you believe in the past? Can you see the past? Do you believe in the Wind? Can you see the wind?  If you believe in those things that you cannot see, why can you not also believe in God? We do not need to see something in order to believe in it, we just need to believe in the reasonableness of the evidence of it.  God has already provided that evidence .
