Truth is not uncomfortable. It is the most comfortable thing around. When I
was a YEC, I was very uncomfortable because I knew that what the YECs were
teaching about geology was simply false. I struggled with the problem of
Christians telling things that were false in the name of God. I don't
think it is particularly ethical for people to say things that are
equivalent to 'The sky is not blue because the way I interpret the Bible
says it isn't'. THat is what I and the other YECs/antievolutionists were
doing. The denial of observational data is rampant in Christianity and it
is a shame. It is like we don't really trust our God to be able to do it in
a way we find acceptable.
As to any atheists I am associated with, I will tell you, my God didn't
tell me to take the gospel to the Christians, and He certainly didn't say
withdraw from all the non-believers. It is a real shame that so many
christians are afraid to have dialogues with atheists or to agree with them
when they are correct on something. They are correct on evolution, they are
incorrect when they exclude God. Are we to leave them without any witness?
