That's all you got, A cliche' ?
Sorry about that comment.
lets try this.
For those that say "Thy will be done"
By what standard do they determine God's will?
Why are two Christians having a debate if God's will is clear?
The debate seems to go like this:
Theist: God is absolute!
Atheist: Absolutly subjective to your interpertion of him!
Here at the battle royal we see two people who agree on the truth of a book, yet are having a formal arguement over what it means!
It's got subjective written all over it.
Our interpretations are subjective at times since we are not perfect. We generally agree on the essentials, but can be divided on peripheral issues. The nature of this debate will also go beyond explicit Scripture to issues of philosophy and logic (modal, etc.). It is the glory of a king to search out a matter. It beats sticking one's head in the sand like many atheists do.
The Word of God is absolute truth. It can be known objectively. Our subjectivity is a reflection on us (prone to preconceived ideas, etc.), not on the inherent revelation of God.
The Psalmist has said that the fool says in his heart that there is no God. The Hebrew word refers to a moral fool, the ungodly, not necessarily to one's belief system. Most North Americans believe in God with their head, but live as if He does not exist. You may be an intellectual atheist, but they are functional atheists/agnostics (or pseudo-theists).
