The Message of the Cross: Foolishness, or Wisdom?

'For to those who are perishing, the message of the cross is foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is God's power,' 1 Corinthians 1:18

How painfully plainly true this is, as displayed by a great wall dividing the faithful from the faithless. To an atheist the gospel is utter foolishness. Look what the God-hater Sam Harris says: 'It is imperative that we begin speaking plainly about the absurdity of most of our religious beliefs.' To Harris and Litchens, and Dawkins and all the other atheists, our belief system is absurd. They just don't get it, as Adrian Rogers puts it in his message 'It's Time to Grow Up.'

But to us, to believers, this same message of the cross is indeed the peak of wisdom, our saving grace, and the guiding light that keeps us on the right path. Without this message of the cross, we would be without hope in the world.

After all, you have to wonder about the morality of a man who rejects a message as foolishness that is summed up in this statement: 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' Galatians 5:14
If this message of love sums up Christianity, what statement sums up atheism?
