Why Atheist Materialists are Schizophrenic By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2009 by Anthony J. Fejfar Some people think, wrongly, that Atheist Materialists are normal, in fact they are abnormal Schizophrenics. Atheist Materialists are Logical Positivists who irrationally assert that God does not Exist. In fact, one can hypothetically assume that Logical Positivism is valid and one can still rationally and logically prove that God Exists. Recall, that Logical Positivism is defined as “rigorous logical inferences from sense experience.” Now, if we look at one of Thomas Aquainas’ proofs for God’s Existence it is clear that Logical Positivism cannot be used to disprove God’s Existence. Using Logical Positivist method, we start with the observation from sense experience that there are all sorts of causes and effects in the world and universe. For example, if one pushes a pool cue ball at the 8 ball, the person’s hand causes the cue ball to move, which in turn causes the 8 ball to move as an effect. Then, using Logical Positivist method we ask the question, What is the cause of the cue ball? From there we look to the manufacturing process of the cue ball. From there we look to the raw materials that the cue ball is made from as a cause. From there we look to the Earth as the source or cause of the materials of the cue ball.
From there we look to the origins of
the Planet Earth and the Universe. As we continue, it is clear as a matter of logic that either there is an infinite series of causes, which seems irrational from the Logical Positivist point of view of a finite universe, or, alternatively, we must logically infer that there is a Uncaused First Cause, which is the Cause of all other causes. Since there are
rational natural laws in the Universe, we can logically infer that Reason is the First Cause of the Universe. Reason can be logically described as God, since in the Gospel of John, God is Reason or Logos. Therefore, logically God Exists and can be discussed using Logical Positivist method. Given the foregoing, it is clear that Athiest Materialists who use Logical Positivist method are irrational and schizophrenic if they deny the Existence of God as Reason and the Uncaused First Cause of the Universe.
