atheism in the church

Some believe nothing happened at all. This would be an atheism. Some others believe that it may have happened but now it does not matter anymore. This would have to be dangerously close to another variety of christian atheism which accepts God but denies His power in their lives. This is convenient for those with little faith. This is also quite convenient for the accuser of the brethren who wants to marginalize God in someone's life so that no person can benefit from that power. One author called it the Quenching of the Spirit. It is shocking how far the church can get from the teachings of Christ who is no longer for today and therefore in their eyes no longer the same today yesterday and forever as it says in the Bible. It all depends whether you live in the world of specifics or of generalities. Specifics require faith in the speaker, generalities require whatever one wants to hear. It has to be one or the other, to jump categories is a commonly known fallacy in logic.
