    If you have objectively proven that atheists are wrong, that means that you must have proven that God exists right? I do not think that is possible without God showing himself, and not just to you, but to others too. If these atheists have not seen God, you have in fact, not proven that they are objectively wrong.

    Also, there are many arguments that atheists use. For example, some atheists believe that the Bible can not be right because parts of it were written long after the events that they describe (for example gospels written maybe 50 years after Jesus’ death, meaning most if not all eyewitnesses have died).

    As a Christian myself, I do not believe you can objectively disprove atheism. And to claim not liking God is the only reason for their beliefs is ignorant, if not worse.

      God did show Himself as Jesus.

      50 years isn’t that much, especially considering Jesus’ disciples were likely His own age, such as Matthew and John. They could have been 20 at the time and easily lived to write their own gospels, being aware of their old age.

      Also, most historical figures we know about from that era have writings about them existing several hundred years after their existence. It’s actually an anomaly that accounts of Jesus were written so close to the time, as well as the epistles. It’s almost like God literally came down to earth.
