With these guys you may need to specify which God you mean. Our
Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully manifested in Jesus
Christ giving His life for us sinners on the cross of Calvary. We
therefore
know our God and have seen Him through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
(Jesus in John 14:6-10)
Atheists don't know our God and therefore can't see manifestations of
love and care in human beings, and to the death if need be, such as we see
in Jesus Christ. (Jesus in John 3:3)
