“The word atheism introduces a problem for the atheist. The word atheist comes from the Greek roots a + Theos is a negative, a reactive term. It means to be, “without God.” But if there is no God, then atheism cannot exist – it has nothing to negate. To be without Something is to be without anything. Atheism’s only alternative is Nothing. But if Something, God, does not exist, then it must be Nothing that exists. But Nothing by definition cannot exist, and thus, we cannot exist. But here we are, pondering it all. Thus, if Something is really Nothing, then atheism means, “without nothing.” But then, to be without Nothing is both redundant and non-existent on the one hand, yet on the other, it is a double negative. In quantitative reasoning a double negative equals a positive, and thus God must exist.” -By John Rankin
