The following conversation between a student and a religious minister shows how by removing the cobwebs in our thinking, by proper communication and clear thinking, we can reach the right conclusion.
Student: I am an atheist. I don't believe in God.
Minister: Alright. So you are an atheist. Can you explain to me the God that you do not believe in.
Now the student has to think as he cannot give a reflex 'yes' or 'no' answer. After a little while the student began to describe the God he did not belive in. He gave the minister a very clear picture of the God he rejected.
When he finished, the minister replied: If that is the God you don't believe, I don't believe in him either. So we are both atheists.
The minister continued: But we live in this universe- what do you make of it, its formation, its meaning?
Before the student left, he discovered that he was not an atheist at all, but a very good theist.
He did believe in a God.
