93 - God's Existence: Common Objections Pt. 1

Crash Course Catholicism

"Atheists don't need to substantiate their position; the burden of proof lies with the theist because they're the one making a positive claim to belief."

"God is just something people turn to for comfort."

"Atheists just believe in one god fewer than Christians do."

"There is no evidence for the existence of God."

"If God is good and He loves me, then why is He so difficult to find?"

In this episode, we cover some common objections to belief in God.
