Someone posted a quote by CH Spurgeon.
“ATHEISM IS A STRANGE THING. EVEN THE DEVILS NEVER FELL INTO THAT VICE.”
The responses it left made me scratch my head. For example. “I hate this quote! Its kinda hard for Satan to be an atheist given Satan looked upon God with his own eyes...had actual verbal conversations... very bad analogy from a great preacher.”

I find no problem with the quote. Romans 1:16-23 (ASV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: 21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

Pilgrim Obviously I do not problem with the Spurgeon quote either. The Scripture passage you used is even one that came to mind. Do you have anything specific to say about the example that I gave? I hate this quote! Its kinda hard for Satan to be an atheist given Satan looked upon God with his own eyes...had actual verbal conversations... very bad analogy from a great preacher. Tom
