Atheism

The atheist Machovavec wrote: The atheist should also be honest and truthful. But when we asked why being honest and sincere, no one gave me a reasonable answer and reasonable reasons. Be open for the voice of conscience? But what if the conscience does not respond? And what is conscience? Why not act out of purely personal interests? One told me. If I sacrificed too much, what would society give me for it? Others say they are honest because they follow a practical principle. What you don’t want others to do to you, don’t do to them. That’s enough. And others will say, Why to strive if it is not controlled at all in the end. M, Machovec continues to think. A man has something more significant in himself than he is. Man transcends himself. It goes into the future. Future goals shape it. He still exceeds himself. One cannot live a valuable life if one does not show dissatisfaction with the given condition. What is it in a person who forces him to be dissatisfied with a shared reality? Man cannot be alive only by bread. Man is not satisfied only with material well-being. It is also necessary to manage the inner man, his inner needs. Where does the idea of ​​God in humanity come from? From what roots do this question grow? Some say it’s an unnecessary question. However, how to understand that this question has appeared again and again in history. People are still asking about God. Some believe, some doubt, others deny; they still fight for God and believe in him. Prayers are still offered to him.

The question of God, his existence, has been dealt with by humanity since time immemorial. The evidence for the existence of God has an impressive tradition. The most excellent spirits of society have pondered this evidence. The foundations were laid by Plato and Aristotle. In Christianity, they were domesticated by St. Augustine. In the Middle Ages, they were magnificently completed by Thomas Aquinas. In modern times, Descartes, Leibniz, and others have thought of them again. Not only thinkers were concerned with the idea of ​​God. A simple person also dealt with this. Not only for fear of phenomena in nature, which you could not explain, not only to give rest to your muscles. He suspected that he had something mysterious in him. Shards of arrows, arrowheads, stone axes all told us about the life of a prehistoric person. However, these objects are silent about one. About the inside of a man. From these subjects, we can reconstruct the interests of man, his abilities. But it’s inside? It remains a secret.
