"Someone once said that if you sat a million monkeys at a million typewriters for a million years, one of them would eventually type out all of Hamlet by chance. But when we find the text of Hamlet, we don't wonder whether it came from chance and monkeys. Why then does the atheist use that incredibly improbable explanation for the universe? Clearly, because it is his only chance of remaining an atheist. At this point we need a psychological explanation of the atheist rather than a logical explanation of the universe. We have a logical explanation of the universe, but the atheist does not like it. It's called God."

Like Kreeft's observation about athiests, my own reflections on the "counterculture" behavior and ensuing athiesm of my late teens and 20s made me realize that my attraction to such sophomoric vitriol against traditional society -- and especially Christianity -- stemmed from my own personal, misguided issues with authority in my life. Further exploring this theory, I have also concluded that this "it's a psychological thing" argument can be applied to many angry left, anti-Christian, "anti-establishment" people: I've applied the test to those I know, and so far it's consistently panned out. It's like they're unwary puppets of their own problems, which is truly unfortunate.
