Stephen Charnock on the folly of atheism

[clawrence9008]

"It is a folly, for though God be so inaccessible that we cannot know him perfectly, yet he is so much in the light that we cannot be totally ignorant of him. As he cannot be comprehended in his essence, he cannot be unknown in his existence. It is as easy by reason to understand that he is as it is difficult to know what he is."

-- Stephen Charnock, The Existence and Attributes of God (from Discourse 1: On God's Existence)
