love in a fist

There is one single reason underlying many atheists denial God exists. It rests primarily in the example the church gives them, the witness by individual church members. The over riding impression most have is that many churchgoers either have a weak witness or no witness at all. Churches themselves seldom even broach the subject. More than a few churchgoers have an outright negative witness which in turn under girds much of the atheist position. Almost all negative witness involves the lack of love as Jesus taught it. The main fall down of followers of the letter or the law only is that, lacking the spirit of the law, they lack love. So separating the view of atheists from their view of churchgoers becomes paramount. Unfortunately perhaps this does nothing for church attendance.
