Re: Four Different Ways To Reject Jesus

3. The genial scientist type category. This fellow also has no problem with most of the things the bible claims God desires, and would be perfectly pleased to discover that God, with or without Jesus exists. In spite of the probability/logic/science/magician evidence against it. Included in this category are the less scientifically oriented who actually think there is a decent chance that God/Jesus exists but consider it less than even money. (Those people are presently screwed real bad but I'm going to try to help them in another thread.) Another subcategory are those people who have no problem with God but think their high falootin philosophical arguments force them to disbelieve in him. (A classic case of being probably right, but for the wrong reason.)

We've had discussions and polls about this before. A huge number of atheists WANT a god to exist (in contrast with most moderate-to-hardcore Christians' claims). Most of them don't want the God Of The Bible to exist, but many would gladly accept some sort of personal god or watchmaker god. In fact, I'd say it's arguably pretty silly to not want a god of some kind to exist. Does anyone actually desire god's non-existence??
