More annoying AIG
From AIG's review of "God's Not Dead" movie :
Two ideas that AIG uses that I really dislike are in this quote: presupposition, and the idea that everyone believes in God, but that atheists pretend they do not in order to avoid restrictions on their lives.
"In the February 2014 debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham, Ken debated his position from the authority of the Scripture and the certainty of God’s existence, even challenging Bill Nye to explain the foundation for his reasoning apart from God. God was not put on trial, but the audience was told that apart from God they have no foundation for their belief in logic, the laws of nature, and morality. The evidence presented was used to demonstrate the reasonableness of the biblical accounts and explanations, not to prove the existence of God (a fact Romans 1:18–20 tells us all people already know)—using a presuppositional apologetic methodology that places God and His Word as the judge and calls people to submit to the truth. "
One of those ideas is in this quote:
"In approaching the issue in this manner, Wheaton ignores the truth of Romans 1:18–32. The people sitting in those seats and even the professor know God exists. The existence of God is not the question—whether they are willing to bow to Him as King is."
Commenters on AIG FB posts repeat this idea over and over. Either we really know we believe in God but pretend we don't, or we know at some deep level and keep ourselves from consciously admitting it. Amazingly insulting.
