Question from Uriadka:<\/strong>
\nAccording to Steve Harvey, atheists are idiots. He claims God changed his life. Any rebuttals???
\n
\n(Kind of a sarcastic post but I want to see what you guys think of such a bold statement from some Family Feud host.)
\n
\nAnswer by SmartLX<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nHe does indeed say that, near the end of this compilation<\/a>. The main reason he gives is simply the argument from design<\/a> applied to everything on Earth at once. He then focuses on evolution and rattles off (or should I say parrots?) the classic and utterly ignorant question about monkeys<\/a>. The rest of Harvey’s opinion of atheists is based on his ignorance of our sources of morality<\/a>, and the implication that we don’t have any.
\n
\nSteve Harvey is no authority on philosophy of religion, and even if he were it wouldn’t be advisable to merely accept his authority on the subject, so we have to judge his reasons. His attempts to justify his position are all familiar, and not at all convincing, to those who do not already believe. That his position AND his reasons are insulting are not logical reasons to dismiss them, but it sure doesn’t help his case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
