reject God because they want to live sinful lives without guilt," serves as an ad hominem

attack.

This statement criticizes atheists' moral character and personal motivations, rather

than constructively addressing the philosophical or rational arguments behind their disbelief

in God.

By attributing their lack of belief to a desire for an unaccountable lifestyle, the apologist

shifts the focus from a substantive debate on the existence of God to a judgment of atheists'

character.

This approach not only disrespects the genuine intellectual positions held by many atheists

but also sidesteps the opportunity for an honest discussion about the complexities and

nuances of belief and non-belief.
