| − | The '''Atheist Paradox''' is the logical impossibility of proving that a greater being does not exist.

| − | | |
| − | It is similar to the logical impossibility of proving that [[mathematics]] is free of errors. [[Godel]] proved that we can never know if [[mathematics]] is consistent, or error-free.

| − | | |
| − | A greater being could reveal himself to some but not others. The most an atheist could ever say is that he has not yet become aware of a greater being. That begs the question of whether the atheist is still looking, or has given up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many atheists are in fact anti-Christians who find it more advantageous to preach as an atheist than as anti-Christian. Those who censor prayers by children, as in classrooms, are engaging in anti-Christian activities. An atheist would be unconcerned with loving prayers that he simply did not believe in.

| − | == Two Types of Atheists ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are two types of atheists: those who aggressively censor religion in various forms, and those who allow, and even encourage, religious activity by others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first type of atheist -- the censor -- can only be understood as an anti-Christian.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The second type of atheist -- the tolerant -- can only be understood as one who has "given up" spiritually and refuses to look further for a superior being.
