How to trap an atheist: Serve him a fine meal, then ask him if he believes there is a cook.  Author Unknown

A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere–‘Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,’ as Herbert says, ‘fine nets and stratagems.’ God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.  C.S. Lewis

Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.  C.S. Lewis

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.   C.S. Lewis

As Christians we accept one foundational truth – God – and everything else makes sense.  An atheist denies God and has to accept incredible explanations for everything else.  It takes more faith to deny God than to believe in Him.   John MacArthur

What do you conceive God to be like?  Some would say to believe at all in a personal God requires a giant leap of faith – but I am convinced that belief in God is a far more reasonable position than atheism.  Nature, the personal experience of literally billions of people, and something innate in the heart of man all testify to the existence of God.   George Sweeting

Belief is a wise wager.  Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false?  If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing.  Wager , then, without hesitation, that God exists.   Blaise Pascal

Why is the Atheist’s main target always Jesus of Nazareth, and never Buddha, Confucius, or Mohammed?  Why is the aspiring athlete’s target always the true champion and never the also-rans?  Author Unknown

I have read Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and beautiful; but I never read in either of them: “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give thee rest.”  Augustine

It is astonishing that scientists will dismiss the idea of a Creator as unscientific, yet turn around and embrace the bizarre, almost mystical concept of a conscious universe.   Charles (Chuck) Colson
There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.   G. K. Chesterton

Charles Spurgeon was once asked, “How do you defend the Bible?” “Very easy” he responded. “The same way I defend a lion. I simply let it out of its cage.”  Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.  G. K. Chesterton

The atheist can’t find God for the same reason that a thief can’t find a police officer.   Author Unknown

If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don’t feel at home there?   C.S. Lewis

Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.   C.S. Lewis,  Mere Christianity

The notion that everyone would like Christianity to be true, and therefore all atheists are brave men who have accepted the defeat of all their deepest desires, is simply impudent nonsense.   C.S. Lewis

Men may live as if there is no God, but they cannot deny his existence.   Sam Storms

He that doth not believe that there is a God, is more vile than a devil.  To deny there is a God, is a sort of atheism that is not to be found in hell.   Thomas Brooks

An ineffably holy God, who has the utmost abhorrence of sin, was never invented by any of Adam’s descendents.   A.W. Pink

The hypocrite, certainly, is a secret atheist; for if he did believe there was a God, he durst not be so bold as to deceive Him to His face.   Thomas Adams
