If it was just a matter of a kind of arbitrary belief, he wouldn't be a missionary to the Mormons. I'm assuming you have no plans to go on a mission.

I don’t think so. I have simply accepted the fact that some people will deny God. The reason(s) why a person denies God are probably numerous. Do I think any of those reasons are "good" or "valid"? No. One can preach and preach all day, but if someone wants to refuse the Good News from our Savior, then so be it. I cannot change someone who does not want to be changed so to speak. The Scriptures, history, nature ... pick one, as they all point conclusively to the existence of God. If someone wants to bury his or her head in the sand and simply say that nothing thus far that has ever existed in the entire universe has even remotely suggested to him or her that God truly exists, then that person can say as he or she wishes. Are they wrong? Yes. Should that deter Christians from spreading the Good News? No. Remember, many folks denied Jesus during his time on earth. For the atheist, let's assume that all the Miracles which Jesus performed on earth actually occurred. Those miracles still didn't convince some folks. So, the atheist 2,000 years later wants signs of miracles to believe now? Get real. Although no one knows when the End of Times will occur, but when Jesus does come back, I suspect that those who do not believe and those who made such clever comments will be in an awkward position. I hope to witness that ... it will be better than reading comments on the PP open forum by the super clever folks. I wonder if their knees will bend then?
