These days, most atheists have a scientific worldview, rely on modern substantiated knowledge and refrain from using ancient unsubstantiated beliefs to understand the world they inhabit. From an modern atheist's perspective, it is theists who believe in stupid things, including their imaginary God.
"Personal insults are the last refuge of the intellectual coward." ~Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.
-I contend we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.- Stephen Roberts
“Rational arguments don’t usually work on religious people. Otherwise there would be no religious people.” - Gregory House, M.D. Season 4 Episode 2 The Right Stuff.
Why do theists like to believe in stupid things like God?
Reworded for accuracy for you!
What do you imagine is stupider than pretending reality is not real?
Please explain.
Basically it comes down to evidence: none for any gods and plenty for "stupid" things like evolution.
You mean stupid things like the truth, I'll take the truth anytime over your pretend god.
Sorry - I admit, I've believed that someday you would become intelligent.
Clearly, that will never happen. My mistake!
Yeah... we believe in all sorts of stupid things like.......reality....how about that.
Why do christians constantly post rude things about athiests while expecting to be seen as a loving christian?
Well, I for one believe that stupid things do exist.
Until I read the instructions and realise it was me being a stupid thing.
We scare the crap out of you. [evil laugh]
"stupid things" - well we do believe in Christians, so you are right.
Atheists don't believe in God because there is no proof God exists - believing in something without proof it exists is stupid.
Those who sit in dread and fear of damnation
and endless retribution, deserve the god that dispenses it.
Atheists will never let sewage like "christ" get in their way.
Wait until you find out that judging others was never your right.
can you please enlighten us as to what stupid things im supposed to belive in ?
Stupid is as stupid does.
Because atheism is very stupid.
UNWILLINGNESS to pray and repent.
Another weak strawman argument from a weak christian
???? Well, my closed minded, rude little friend, maybe it's because we have evidence?
Why do ATHEIST ....like to " BELIEVE IN " stupid THINGS ... instead of God ? the question lacks of clarity as to which Atheist there are RELIGIOUS atheist and non religious atheist
# 1
use of the higher case G infers the BIBLE deity proposition
# 2 the word ATHEIST a term for a person who has NOT "ADOPTED " a god proposition . have NOT been CONVINCED of a god proposition for many NONRELIGIOUS ATHEIST and Critical thinkers related to a personal standard of those who present a claim have a BURDEN of PROOF I am a NON RELIGIOUS Atheist .. there are RELIGIOUS ATHEIST an example . people who PRACTICE Buddhism they are then called BUDDIST People that hold and promote "BELIEF IN " the various OTHER promoted supernatural proposition just like Christianity Hinduism Islam concepts of SPIRITS GHOST HEAVEN HELL NARAKA Afterlife reincarnation ETERNAL EXISTENCE Buddhism promotes 4 Hell ( asura lokos ) and 26 heavens (deva lokos ) as well as DEMONS like other religions promote SATAN or DEVILS
.# 3 the word ATHEIST does not address or indicate nor list a persons BELIEFS
# 4 BELIEF a persons CONVICTION of a PROPOSITION or allegation to BE the case ACTUAL without DIRECT KNOWLEDGE
# 5 PROPOSITION a statement or assertion that expresses a judgement or option to make a Suggestion or proposal or an explanation for consideration to be accepted adopted or action done
# 6 THING an OBJECT that one need not , can not or does not wish to give a specific name to
# 7 OBJECT that which is MATERIAL that can be SEEN & TOUCHED ( objective reality )
# 8 STUPID an Adjective a word people use to DESCRIBE a PERSON in their OPINION exhibiting a behavior or expressing in words a lack of intelligence or common sense
another GLITTERY GENERALIZATION a EMOTIONALLY appealing phrase so closely associated to valued CONCEPTS and BELIEFS it carries conviction without SUPPORTING INFORMATION or REASON
as to WHY ones proposition / claim has not met its burden of proof to BE the CASE or actual the author failed to list what Atheist "believe in " many people cultural systems religions organizations feel THREATENED when their BELIEFS ( convictions without direct knowledge or demonstration ) are subject to a standard of BURDEN of PROOF as do AUTHORITARIANS they view questioning as a THREAT to power and control of the population as a protective mechanism resort to Belittling dehumanizing bulling people and hope to insult those who question .as a tactic to attempt to STOP questioning and people having standard of demonstration
Really? The only reason I’m an atheist is just because I don’t believe in god. I just decide not to think about all this stuff anyway and actually live my life, not think about something may or may not even exist.
Atheism is a lack of belief in each and every God and Goddess, not just your personal Favourite.
I ask you, as one sapient being to another: On a list of one thousand Gods and Goddesses, Do YOU have what YOU consider a perfectly valid reason for not believing in Apollo, Bacchus, Minerva, Phuquioras, Poseidon, Quetzlcoatl, Wotan, Zeus, and ALMOST every other God and Goddess on the list.
My reason for lacking belief in ALL of them, is exactly the same as your reason for lacking belief in MOST of them.
So. if you are not stupid for lacking belief in the first nine hundred and eighty-five, I'm not noticeably MORE stupid for lacking belief in the other fifteen.
And if your list of Gods and/or Goddesses is only THREE or FOUR names long, then I'm only point 03% less smart as you.
Would you RISK trying to PROVE that Phuquioras is not REAL, by standing in front of a mirror, with at least two person witnessing, and you point into the mirror and say His name OUT LOUD, three times?
You mean....like the earth being globular, and rotating around the sun? Or do you mean like electricity, and the ability to use light to communicate? Or do you mean we silly atheist believe in things like flying or space travel, or deep sea exploration? Those kind of things, little child?
Ikr atheists believe in pretzels and wristbands ????
human life has the highest value. all of the good and all of the evil are in the person. people use philosophy and religion to open their lives to values. however, religion has no-power of its own; its only existence is that of a human being. therefore, human life is the highest moral value.
nichiren daishonin: "the wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than 'nam-myoho-renge-kyo' ."
nichiren daishonin: "if the minds of the people are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds.
the entity of our minds, from which spring both good and evil, is in fact the entity of the Mystic Law. If you have deep faith in this truth and chant Myoho-renge-kyo, you are certain to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime.
"nam-myoho-renge-kyo, nam-myoho-renge-kyo".[ on attaining buddhahood in this lifetime]
I love stupid things and Its fun baiting theists
Probably because we don’t believe in God. Have you ever wondered if the God you believed in was even real? Have you ever considered that the God you’re believing in might just be an ordinary guy with technology from 1000 years in the future?
Because Humanity was created with the desire to have some sort of representation to set as an example. If they do not believe in God then they start put other things first like their homes or possessions & these things become more important to them than seeking the will of God & caring about others & all that is on planet earth & what is beyond life on earth & that is to be a secret until they have fulfilled all the requirements for those special blessings.
That is sorta the reason why humans ended up in this realm, going back to the story of Adam and Eve. Faith in God requires effort in a materialistic world, meant to entice us, which is why the "reward" is so big.
Is stupid to believe in God!
please list....
NB:
No list, so the question is pure b0110ckz
So feel free to present one of the "stupid things Atheists believe in.,,,,,, yea that is what I thought!
Because they're a lot less stupid than god is. Most things are.
The heart of the cards isn't stupid take that back
They don't. They just know he's not real. If anything religious people do.
Why do ignorant Nicolaitan Christians claim to believe in Jesus but Fail to Obey the Word of God?
Rom_16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Why do Christians like to believe in stupid things instead of God?
Christians have "power" (Acts 1:5; 8) "Spiritual gifts" (I Corinthians 12:7:10;13) and "Signs following" (Mark 16:16)18) received when they were "ORDAINED" by God (Acts 1:22) with Holy Spirit baptism and became Christians.
"But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin" (Micah 3:8)!
Thank you Jesus (Matthew 11:25)!
Those who do not know God will substitute anything else in the creation for Him.
