Atheism offers nothing but its own emptiness. It offers no nourishment for the body nor the mind. No hope, no laughter, no joy, no beauty, no sense of purpose, and no sense of a world beyond our own.

One can believe in God without believing every story specifically as the Bible tells it. In fact, one can believe in a higher being without believing in the Bible at all
