  • Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

    I found a great article online, and in case you don't feel like reading it all (it's quite long), I'll summarize it here for you:

    http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism

    -All atheists believe in evolution, which means they don't believe in morality and think we should all act like animals.

    -Atheists try to shift the burden of proof unfairly upon theists (ie, atheists make the wild and unprovable claim that God does not exist, and then unfairly expect us Christians to prove that He DOES exist)

    -The Bible says atheism is wrong, and the Bible is always right (see: Genesis 1:1, Psalms 14:1, Psalms 19:1, Romans 1:19-20)

    -Some famous atheists have shown they occasionally have doubts about their disbelief, which proves that all atheists really do believe in God. Of course, no Christian has ever doubted the existence of God.

    -Everybody who has ever been in the army will tell you that there are no atheists in foxholes. That is, once they are in danger of death, the atheist will strip himself of his irrational disbelief in God, and come to admit he believed in God all along. Only liberal slimebags like MSNBC report otherwise.

    -Communism, which is inherently evil, is founded by atheism, and all atheists are probably secret communists.

    -Because we can think of the existence of God, God must obviously exists, and therefore atheists are illogical.

    -Everything in the universe shows obvious and undeniable signs that it was created by a mind far superior to our own.

    -a lot of mass murderers were atheists, and all atheists, having no morality to guide them, are only a bad day away from going on a genocide spree. There have no exactly zero cases on Christian mass murderers throughout all of history.

    -no atheists contribute to charitable causes, and all Christians do. This is because of atheist's beliefs in Darwinism.

    -I quote: "The Barna Group found regarding atheism and morality that those who hold to the worldviews of atheism or agnosticism in America were more likely, than theists in America, to look upon the following behaviors as morally acceptable: illegal drug use; excessive drinking; sexual relationships outside of marriage; abortion; cohabitating with someone of opposite sex outside of marriage; obscene language; gambling; pornography and obscene sexual behavior; and engaging in homosexuality/bisexuality" Despicable.

    -I quote: "
    Atheism The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs."


    -atheists don't believe in miracles, although many Christian philosophers disagree.


    -atheism cannot explain the origins of the universe, therefore God exists.


    -Atheists have more mental and physical health problems than Christians. This is attributed to theists having something more to life for. Therefore, God exists.



    -Friedrich Nietzsche went crazy and was an atheist, therefore atheism drove him insane (although there is an ongoing debate on the matter...)


    -Countries with large numbers of atheists have higher suicide rates, therefore atheism makes you want to kill yourself. Of course they would take the easy way out, not realizing like normal people that God sends suicide cases to hell. Also, developed nations also tend to have higher rates of both atheism and suicide, so we must conclude that technology and wealth are evil.


    -Sigmund Freud said religious belief was unhealthy, but many doctors think Freud is wrong, therefore atheism is evil.


    -many famous atheists tell lies, therefore atheists are deceptive.



    -Fewer people believe now as opposed to x number of years ago (usually around twenty) in evolution, therefore evolutionary theory is wrong and by proxy atheism is wrong, since it's the same thing.


    -Non-Christians are more likely to believe in silly superstitions, like palm reading and astronomy (note: Non-Christian = atheist). Christians believe only in the cold, hard logical of the world around them.


    -Some theologians say atheist is on the decline, therefore it is. However, this is no reason to lose caution of the atheist threat!



    -There are a number of anti-atheist blogs (isn't that good to know? )


    -there is a pro-atheist bias in the liberal controlled media, but as we know from stated above that atheism is on the decline, this hardly matters.


    -Causes of atheism (I quote): moral depravity, rebellion, superficiality, error, state churches, poor relationship with father, division in religion, learned times, peace, and prosperity, negative experiences with theists, scientism.



    -atheists question why evil exists since God is good, but don't ask why good exists if God isn't real.


    -early scientists were Christian, therefore Christianity owns a monopoly on science and atheists are not allowed to say there is discrepancy between the beliefs in the two.


    -Sir Francis Bacon said he'd rather belief in any silly old legend then believe that God doesn't exist


    -Some Christian apologists have problems with the beliefs of Bertrand Russell



    -Creation scientists tend to win creation-evolution debates


    -Notable atheists have converted to Christianity. The reverse never happens.




    A poll found these results =

    Position: This group does not at all agree with
    my vision of American society: I would disapprove if my child wanted
    to marry a member of this group: Atheist 39.6% 47.6%
    Therefore, the majority of normal people clearly know atheism is evil.


    -atheists criticism of the Bible can't be trusted because, I quote: "a thorough understanding of the Bible -- and this would actually apply to any complex work from any culture -- requires specialized knowledge, and a broad range of specialized knowledge in a variety of fields.... Not even most scholars in the field can master every aspect"


    Of course, I quote: The Bible is still loved by millions, read by millions, and studied by millions.


    -atheists make bad arguments on the internet, says Christian apologist.


    -atheists try to convert young people to atheism over the internet. Christians, of course, never stoop to such behavior.


    -Nearly a quarter or a third of philosophy professors are theists, therefore, I quote: "God is not 'dead' in academia; he returned to life in the 1960's and is now alive and well in his last academic stronghold, philosophy departments."


    -atheists do not really exist, they just pretend that they don't believe in God.


    -atheism brought upon the French Revolution, one of the most evil events of all of history.


    -atheists make up a small percentage of the world population, therefore it is wrong.


    -a lot of famous people said bad stuff about atheists

    Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

    All right, let's break this down:

    "-All atheists believe in evolution, which means they don't believe in morality and think we should all act like animals."

    I'm an atheist. Yes, I believe in evolution, but I do have morals, and I do not believe that we should act like animals.

    "-Some famous atheists have shown they occasionally have doubts about their disbelief, which proves that all atheists really do believe in God."

    Which famous atheists? (I'm not doubting you; there are always some people who question their beliefs, but the key to a successful argument is providing examples). Also, just because "some" atheists have questioned their beliefs, doesn't mean that "all" atheists actually do believe in god. You're using the fact that a minority questioned their beliefs to try and prove that the majority holds the same sentiment, which is simply false logic.

    "-Communism, which is inherently evil, is founded by atheism, and all atheists are probably secret communists."

    Although I do believe that the fundamental idea of communism is ideal, I also believe that it would never work as a system, therefore I don't consider myself a communist.

    "-Because we can think of the existence of God, God must obviously exists, and therefore atheists are illogical."

    I can use that exact same logic but instead say "Because we can think of the existence of Evolution, Evolution must obviously exist, and therefore Christians are illogical".

    "There have no exactly zero cases on Christian mass murderers throughout all of history."

    David Berkowitz: Killed 6 people, wounded 7 others. Renounced Judaism at a young age, converted to Baptism. Became a Born-Again Christian while in prison.

    Sampson Kanderayi: AKA the "Ax Killer". Murdered 30 people. A Christian.

    Coral Eugene Watts: May have murdered as many as 80 women and girls. He was a Christian who supposedly murdered to get rid of evil spirits.

    Jeffrey Dahmer: Born-Again Christian who murdered 17 men and boys and cannibalized their remains.

    Donald Miller: Raped and murdered four women. Conservative Christian who always carried a bible.

    "-no atheists contribute to charitable causes, and all Christians do. This is because of atheist's beliefs in Darwinism."

    I beg to differ. My family gives to causes like Big Brother Big Sister, Homeless Veterans of America, Doctors Without Borders, and other charities, and I always give money to homeless people I see.

    "The Barna Group found regarding atheism and morality that those who hold to the worldviews of atheism or agnosticism in America were more likely, than theists in America, to look upon the following behaviors as morally acceptable: illegal drug use; excessive drinking; sexual relationships outside of marriage; abortion; cohabitating with someone of opposite sex outside of marriage; obscene language; gambling; pornography and obscene sexual behavior; and engaging in homosexuality/bisexuality"

    Every person is different. Atheism doesn't make a person more likely to engage in risky behaviors any more than theism makes a person more likely to be chaste until marriage. Let's look at three examples, shall we? We'll be using myself and my two cousins.

    Me:
    Age: 19
    Gender: female
    Location: Massachusetts
    Beliefs: atheist
    Drug use: never
    Alcohol consumption: never
    Comprehensive sex-ed in school, or Abstinence Only? Comprehensive sex ed
    Sex: never
    Abortion: none
    Cohabitation: live with my parents, never had a boyfriend
    Obscene language: yes
    Gambling: never
    Pornography: I'll admit, I watch it...
    Obscene sexual behavior: still a virgin, so no
    Homosexuality/bisexuality: no

    Katie (cousin):
    Age: 22-23ish?
    Gender: female
    Location: Texas
    Beliefs: fundamentalist Christian
    Drug use: big time
    Alcohol consumption: yes
    Comprehensive sex-ed in school, or Abstinence Only? Abstinence Only
    Sex: yes, baby at 16
    Abortion: no
    Cohabitation: lived with boyfriend for a time
    Obscene language: yes
    Gambling: not sure
    Pornography: not sure
    Obscene sexual behavior: does getting pregnant at 16 count as obscene?
    Homosexuality/bisexuality: no

    Tara (cousin):
    Age: 27-28ish?
    Gender: female
    Location: Texas
    Beliefs: fundamentalist Christian
    Drug use: some
    Alcohol consumption: yes
    Comprehensive sex-ed in school, or Abstinence Only? Abstinence Only
    Sex: yes, out-of-wedlock baby at 21
    Abortion: no
    Cohabitation: before and (obviously) after marriage
    Obscene language: yes
    Gambling: not sure
    Pornography: not sure
    Obscene sexual behavior: out of wedlock baby
    Homosexuality/bisexuality: no

    "-atheism cannot explain the origins of the universe, therefore God exists."

    Once again, poor logic.

    "-Atheists have more mental and physical health problems than Christians."

    Source, please?

    "This is attributed to theists having something more to life for."

    I have plenty to live for, thank you very much. And besides, I thought that the only thing Christians cared about was the afterlife. All those crazy fundamentalists praising and looking forward to armageddon because they can't wait to go to the afterlife.

    "-Countries with large numbers of atheists have higher suicide rates, therefore atheism makes you want to kill yourself."

    I have absolutely no desire to kill myself.

    "-Sigmund Freud said religious belief was unhealthy, but many doctors think Freud is wrong, therefore atheism is evil."

    Sooooo...one man claimed that religion was unhealthy, which many doctors disagreed with...so that makes atheism evil? So that means that if one doctor claimed that eating chicken was bad for you, but other doctors disagreed with him, it would then be deemed evil to abstain from eating chicken?

    "-many famous atheists tell lies, therefore atheists are deceptive."

    Source, please? And once again, you're trying to group all atheists together into a group of deceivers simply because some notable ones tell lies.

    "-Fewer people believe now as opposed to x number of years ago (usually around twenty) in evolution, therefore evolutionary theory is wrong and by proxy atheism is wrong, since it's the same thing."

    Source?
    P.S. atheism is not the same thing as evolutionary theory. Just because someone doesn't believe that there is a god doesn't mean that they believe that evolution is the answer to the question of how humans got here.

    "-Friedrich Nietzsche went crazy and was an atheist, therefore atheism drove him insane (although there is an ongoing debate on the matter...)"

    There is absolutely no logic in that statement.

    "-Non-Christians are more likely to believe in silly superstitions, like palm reading and astronomy (note: Non-Christian = atheist). Christians believe only in the cold, hard logical of the world around them."

    Christians believe in cold, hard facts? Last time I checked, Christians believe in a god who has yet to show himself to us.

    "-There are a number of anti-atheist blogs (isn't that good to know? )"

    If the mere fact that there are many anti-atheist blogs is proof that atheism is wrong, then by your logic, the fact that there are many anti-christian blogs is proof that christianity is wrong.

    "-early scientists were Christian, therefore Christianity owns a monopoly on science and atheists are not allowed to say there is discrepancy between the beliefs in the two."

    Early scientists were also ancient Greeks and Egyptians, long before the bible was even written.

    "-Sir Francis Bacon said he'd rather belief in any silly old legend then believe that God doesn't exist"

    Well good for Sir Francis Bacon. What does he want, a freaking medal?

    "-Creation scientists tend to win creation-evolution debates"

    Source?

    "-Notable atheists have converted to Christianity. The reverse never happens."



    "-atheists try to convert young people to atheism over the internet. Christians, of course, never stoop to such behavior."




    "-Nearly a quarter or a third of philosophy professors are theists"

    Yeah, and that means that the other 3/4 or 2/3 are atheists. So what are you so proud of?

    "-atheists do not really exist, they just pretend that they don't believe in God."

    So then why did you just devote an entire post to why atheism is wrong?
    P.S. atheism does really exist. I do not believe in god.

    "-atheists make up a small percentage of the world population, therefore it is wrong."

    The Bowhead Whale also makes up a small percentage of the world's whale population. Does that mean that it is wrong to be a Bowhead Whale?

    "-a lot of famous people said bad stuff about atheists"

    Wow

          Atheists are nothing but a bunch of self styled intellectuals with beards who sit around the internet look at porn and mock Christians all day. In other words complete losers so why would anyone want to be one?

          Let's be adults here; there is only one source of "cool" here and that is Jesus. Do you want to be Jesus going old testament on the money changers in the Temple or do want to be Richard Dawkins and write books no one reads? The choice is clear; Jesus, He kicks ass.

          Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

              Stranger things have been known to happen (to heathens, of course), ie that Semenya "thing".

              Why do you come to a Christian forum and try and convince us that we need to believe in NOTHING? You're saying the entire universe just happened?

              Are you aware that you are part of a dying breed? It is a well known fact that even non-believers (or those who believe in nothing) are now turning to some form of spirituality, albeit the spaghetti-monster cult, the new lady-gaga religion or the eckankar.

              Best you turn to God before it is too late for your salvation and before you find yourself fighting a very lonely battle!
              Psalm 1:5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

                Oh I am sorry, did I strike a nerve? Well if you don't have a beard you obviously wish you did! We here at Landover know everything there is to know about atheists.

                We note you don't deny the porn and God mocking.

                    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say in the post, since you quoted several people. Use the VBulletin "quote" button next time. The serial killers all killed before they accepted Jesus Christ. Are you trying to say evil people can't repent their sins?

                    And do you think you're the first person to post that nonsensical Flying Spaghetti Monster on these forums? That's not a religion. It's an invention by a disgruntled man who was angry over the Kansas evolution vs. creationism controversy. If you believe in that, you're a lunatic.

                    Watch the #1 Televangelist Gospel Hour in the World! "Turn or Burn: Accept Christ or Go to Hell with Rev. Jim Osborne." Check your local cable listings.
