DOES AN ATHEIST HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Knowing my son, Kooka, I would say he exhibits all these attributesl. And, I would dare to say, many other atheists do also.
