“Atheists worship the creation, not the Creator. How brilliant is that?”
The universe is real. My experience is that superstition is less so.
“They know God is real, they just tell the lie that they don't believe.”
So, this makes sense to you. That I KNOW there’s a God, one who will punish me for apostasy, one who has perfect knowledge of my actions, my thoughts, my motivations, so NO EXCUSE could confuse him, and yet, in your mind, It makes sense for me to pretend that I think i can fool a omniscient being. I can’t even fool my wife, much less the god you imagine. But I’ll live that lie… to avoid punishment for lying?
"They have no fear of God, because He hasn't struck them dead with a lightening bolt yet, but the day is coming soon, when they will scoff no more. Be assured of this truth.”
But according to you, I already am assured of this, and know it for a fact. And yet I challenge the ‘lightning’ bolt daily.
