So when as an Atheists sat in ignorant judgment of, bore false witness of and condemned to hell those and that which they know nothing about? Your one sided view of things demonstrates your are a Theist who is desperate.
Who else is going to answer all the questions directed at atheists? If you don't want us in this section, stop asking us questions - and stop insulting us while you are at it.
This of course works both ways. how often do we get religious fanatics (always Muslim or Christian) telling atheists we are all going to "Burn in Hell" or some equally unpleasant fate for our disbelief...?
As an atheist I will never "insult your beliefs".....that's up to you - but please don't tell me I am some kind of 'bad' or 'unworthy' person because I don't share your religion.
The worst example is how Islam preaches hatred and death to all non-Muslims (Christianity in a lesser way) but hey..! This is how millions of people are actively being 'taught' that this is a the way to live your life !
No wonder this world is so screwed up !
Because theists keep asking us questions....like this one....I come on here not to be disrespectful to theists but to put some people right...like the young girl who was told by her pastor that we atheists eat babies....she was scared to take her baby nephew out in case one of we "wicked" atheists ate him.....This is a wicked thing to say.....others say we have no morals and kill people....also terrible and totally untrue.
I am a retired teacher, mother of two doctors and Grandma of some beautiful children. We are a big happy atheist family who love each other.
I'm here because I find religion, as a social phenomenon, rather interesting.
The fact is that all kinds of people believe all kinds of weird crap, and I think that's fascinating.
Then they try to justify their beliefs with convoluted reasoning, and it baffles me why they do it.
Why do you not know what an atheist is‽
ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. But that does not mean they do not hold strong moral or religious beliefs! They can follow any religion that does not have a god and there are a lot of those!
Like BUDDHISM – Religious teaching from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and delusion (the cause of all suffering) man can attain perfect enlightenment!
And sadly you appear to realise there is only one religion involved here!
the problem is not anything to do with atheists, God, Jesus, the bible, or even Christianity and all to do with the intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution posted by BAD Christians towards others!
ALL the other religions and atheists live in peace and are ONLY attacked by BAD Christians which causes all GOOD Christians to despair at the damage they do!
The self-destruction of Christianity is underway and the only thing that can stop it is to abandon the terrible human emotions, seek to rediscover the idea of a loving god and act like it!
BAD Christians not only drive people further away from God but are the reason so many DECENT people are becoming ANTI THEISTS!
Pew News reports Christianity is shrinking with a corresponding rise in atheism!
Five times as many Americans in 2014 said they never prayed compared to those asked the same question in the 1980s
Atheists want to be witness to the evolution of 'religion'
as the evolution of 'religion' continues to make it more and more pointless in every moment.
This is what scares christians about 'evolution' ... and seeing their inability to stop it, is worth it to an Atheist.
Atheists get just as much hate from Christians and other believers, trust me. More so. I've known people be fired from their jobs for not believing ancient twaddle.
There are many atheists everywhere. But unlike theists, we don't work our thoughts on religion into things like discussions about consumer electronics, automotive repair, or mathematics. This is a place meant to discuss religion. So here, we discuss it.
And you ask why we worry about what other people believe, and say we act hateful. Well, Christians literally think I deserve to be tortured because I don't believe what they believe. Not just some normal torture like waterboarding or bamboo splinters under the fingernails for a few years, but eternal torture of the worst forms they can comprehend (even beyond what the laws of physics allow, actually), and they can't imagine a being more perfect than one that would condemn me to such torture. The very few that don't personally believe I deserve that type of torture for how I think are worshiping a being that they think doles out unjust punishments. Not much difference, really.
Not only do they believe I deserve torture, they have taken it as their mission in life to get as many other people to agree with them on this subject as they can.
It doesn’t matter if I think it is a real possibility that I will go to Hell and be tortured. THEY think it is, and they think it is a just punishment for my thoughts.
Now explain to me again why you think I should respect this type of deranged crusade that condones torturing people for nothing other than what they believe.
But why is that every question in the religion category has atheists answering with hateful remarks towards the Christians?
- Because fundies scream hatred on street corners and lie under oath in court, so we are beginning to fight back here.
Like seriously why do you worry about what other people believe in so much.
- We don't, we do care that they lie under oath in court to force their fantasies into my class rooms.
You guys take God wayyy too personal.
- Tell that to the people who were refused a marriage license because a brain dead fundie who did not even know their own bible violated their oath of office to FORCE everyone to their way of thinking.
Its like when you find out a person believes in God you immediately hate them and try insulting their beliefs.
- We would not know a persons belief unless they throw it into my face to begin with.
I would suspect many are ex-Prot. Fundamentalists who enjoy raging at what they used to be. Just like me and the GOP!
There are many atheists wherever you go or look.
For your information if you're a Christian, you are a minority in the world!
Tonight, I've been the voice of reason. Don't tick me off.
We are the antidote to nonsense claims!
It's more that Atheists tend to be more dogmatic and more fundamentalist in their beliefs than Christians, and more prone to want to ram their opinion down everyone's throat.
R&S is an Atheism religion site
Don't worry, we knew this would happen.
Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you
參考: John 15:20
There are so many atheists here probably because there are so many questions to or about atheists here. Like your question. Why do theists worry so much about other people not sharing their beliefs?
And generally, it's hateful or insulting questions that get hateful or insulting answers.
Trying to create a better world.
Same as us, they are working for their master. We just have different masters.
Call it reverse evangelism.
Atheism is a position on religion and spirituality.
This is the internet.
The internet is made of godless electrons.
and when they come for you who will act on your behalf
I'm religious, and I have an interest in religion.
Just keeping it real....really real.
Atheists naturally hate God so that's why
I don’t think you understand. When one utterly despises and hates God (Rom 1:30), forums like this provide a much needed therapeutic outlet to vent the ever present gut-twisting, vitriolic hatred that constantly boils up inside such people.
Also, as places like this forum are the Mecca of Atheism, it’s about the only online spot that provides encouragement for utterly ridiculous anti-religious viewpoints that otherwise would be scoffed at and ridiculed in the real world outside this forum. As athee-evos have few other places available to openly go without appearing to be complete nutcases, they find a solace and camaraderie with their fellow athee-evos here gleefully thumbing down any answers other than “There is no god” or “Which god?”, or using filthy and obscene language to make a point (which for many, they find impossible to communicate without).
Have a little compassion and give these poor atheists a break. Before you atheists thumbs down and comment, let me first say God bless you (1Pet 3:9).
VENT TIME! If some of you atheists need to vent, just comment below. I’m all ears. If insults and bullying make you feel better, go ahead. I can take it. I’ve even made a big thumbs down for you already. I just want to do what I can to help.
