Can Man Live without God?
Ravi Zacharias
1994
Chapter Two: Straying through an infinite nothing
Atheism is the deliberate denial of the existence of God. Atheism bows actions on materialism. Materialism states that nothing exists but natural phenomena. There are no supernatural forces.
"Atheism is not merely a passive unbelief in God, but an assertive denial of the major claims of all varieties of theism. Atheism contradicts belief in God with a positive affirmation of matter as the ultimate reality" (Zacharias, 17).
One of Nietzsche's contentions was that Christianity had paralyzed human potential. Hitler claimed, "I freed Germany from the stupid and degrading fallacies of conscience and morality. We will train young people whom the world will tremble at. I want young people capable of violence, imperious, relenting and cruel".
Atheism destroyed morality and conscience and without those two things, man is free to become as evil as he can be. Hitler was begotten of enlightened and freed Germany.
