Hey Rick, When was the last time an Atheist came down your driveway with a bunch of literature, rang your doorbell, and asked to sit in your living room so they may introduce you to the kingdom of Atheism for 2 hours?
I thought not.
That being said, it's not exactly like Atheists have a loud voice anywhere in the world. I don't see where you feel threatened by Atheists. Are they assaulting you everyday on television with mind-numbing rhetoric laced with hate for anyone with alternative lifestyles or conflicting beliefs?
I thought not.
Don't refer or defer an argument onto those who did not create it. You can blame James Cameron if you'd like but you should actually look into whether or not he is an Atheist before you assume so. By the way, James Cameron is a Protestant;)
You also asked if Atheists "ever stop to think about the vastness of this universe?". Uh, yes. Generally they are called scientists and astronomers, though I don't mean to generalize. It was these same people that were persecuted and burned at the stake for daring to question the Church and its belief in geocentrism. I don't know of any clergyman who ever built a massive space telescope that could examine the depths of our universe. Atheists look for answers beyond the oversimplified explanations that the church could or can devise. It's just knowledge. Get over it.
Yes, the names in the tomb were common to that period. I wonder how many Jesus son of Josephs there were. The answer is two according to the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Also, the odds of A Jesus Son of Joseph, MAry, Mary, and a son of Jesus… 600:1 in favor of the proponants of this discovery.
By the way again, The Davinci Code was a rip off of "Holy Blood , Holy Grail" only DaVinci plays no part in it. If you have an ounce of ability for critical thought you might want to have a read.
