Abstract

This article attempts to strengthen Theodore M. Drange 's Argument from Non-belief for the non-existence of the evangelical Biblical Christian God. An argument is proposed for the claim that God, if construed as an omniscient, morally perfect being, does not have conflicting desires of any kind. This argument, combined with Drange 's evidence, is used to support the most controversial premise of the Argument from Non-belief. Biblical evidence is also presented which seems to compel the evangelical Biblical Christian to admit God's omniscience and moral perfection, thus blocking one avenue of retreat
