Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Do you truly believe that ALL Atheists are miserable?

They will be miserable in the afterlife .

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Perhaps if you weren't filled with so much foolish, selfish pride, being egotistical and self-centred, thinking only of "me, me, me" all the time, hating everyone else in the world -

Perhaps you would be happier. Unfortunately, you are an atheist, so that isn't likely to happen

Never once did I say anything about hate, but once again that's been branded on me for not believing as you do. But perhaps since you are so selfless and understanding you might be able to understand that one man's heaven is indeed another man's hell. As a world where one cannot be themselves is a sad one indeed.

Who said you have any right to "Be yourself". Human nature is evil - you should try to be as far from what your human nature is telling you are possible!

Genesis 6:5: "The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

Ecclesiastes 9:3: "This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead."

Jeremiah 17:9: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?"

Jeremiah 13:23: (NIV): "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil."

Isaiah 64:8 "But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand." (We should allow God to mold us as He desires)

Mark 7:21-23: "For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."

Romans 3:10-11: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God."

Romans 8:7-8: "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."

1 Corinthians 2:14: "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."

Ephesians 2:1-3: "And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience - among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind." (our depravity being emphasised in the concept of being "dead"; only something external -i.e. God- can give a dead man life)

But were we not made in his image?

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

We were created in God's image before the fall. We are restored to God's image only by the Grace of God and the Blood of Jesus. You do not possess these, so you are fallen and totally depraved.

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Athiests seem to make a big deal out of why they don't believe in God, they go around bitching and moaning about practically everything ... like anything they have to say is actually important?? Seriously, why don't they quit their whining, and realise their lives could be so much more - if they just 'got with Jesus'.

Yes, Athiests are pretty pathetic. They're all such lonely angry hateful and bitter people, so I doubt they have many friends. But I wonder why they choose to be so miserable? When Jesus Christ offers them the chance to be Saved. The chance to be washed in his blood, and feel happy and whole and alive again! Glory! Glory to God! Only someone exceedingly stupid would you choose to reject that!

But no, these hateful grouches choose to wallow in their misery, instead coming up with far out reasons as to why 'they think' God doesn't exist! They write books about it, spread their hate across the interweb - because they're jealous of us! They're jealous of us Christians because we're happier than they'll ever be! Because we have God's promise of eternal salvation, and because we know we're going to Heaven! Halellujah!

Why do these grouchy grouches reject Christ? They see that all Christians are happy people, always smiling and full of God's love. But instead of wanting to be part of the blissful joy that is being Christian, they choose to attack us?? I don't understand it. Possibly they have some sort of mental problem, or retardation of some sort? Does anyone know?

Why are athiests so miserable?

i'm an atheist, i'm quite content with my life, im not stupid thank you very much and i'm quite capable of "imagining"

it's funny that you use the word "imagine" as though it were mutually exclusive to theists...y'know, as that would imply that god were imaginary. might wanna word your arguements a bit better next time Ezekial Bathfire...

You'll change your tone in hell when satan sodomizes you with a pineapple. what goes around comes around.

But God is evidently real, making your whole argument false.

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Eh, I'm not really miserable. I'm an atheist for a lack of a better way to properly explain my religious standing in one word; I don't hold a particular spiritual belief in this phase of my life, but I do not seek to destroy religion utterly. I believe that evolution is fact, but I accept that there are people that take it as fiction. My aim by registering on this forum is purely to test these waters and learn about other faiths.

Original poster is pretty much right, though; what I have to say, most of the time, is not important, and I don't pretend that it is.

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

I believe you are ignorant. Evolution isn't even a "theory", it's just a random far fetched guess as to how things came to be without a God.

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Atheists are far from miserable. We can find humour in lots of places. May I recommend you read some James Morrow:

Towing Jehovah

God has committed suicide. His body is floating in the north Atlantic, a menace to faith and navigation. It must be god's body as it’s two miles long and has no bellybutton. The heavenly host who are dying off very quickly from sympathetic death syndrome have hired an oil tanker captain to tow the body to the North Pole.

Food is tunning out when the crew realise that they are towing 2 miles of meat behind them. This particular chapter contains several recipes.

Blameless in Abbadon

This is a sequel to Towing Jehovah. A man dying of cancer puts the corpse of god on trial for the existence of evil. The, er, um, highpoint of the book is a tour through the brain of god where they meet several saints, and biblical characters. These include the colossally perverted Saint Augustine of Hippo, Lot, his pregnant daughters and his transformed wife. He still takes her with him because he's drilled a hole in a position he can use, seeing as his daughters have lost interest, and besides, she's very useful when it comes to salting margheritas.

Eternal Footman

God’s huge skull is in orbit.....

"Cirrus clouds rimmed God's skull. He appeared to be wearing a white toupee. At least there weren't any ads today. Why the Vatican permitted the multinationals to aim their lasers at His brow was a mystery she couldn't fathom. Contemplating the Cranium Dei was depressing enough. You shouldn't have to read COKE IS IT in the bargain."

Actually, us atheists are the opposite of miserable. Life is significantly more enjoyable when we don't obsess over the ridiculousness and contradictions of religion.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

First of all let me make this clear: I am not here to attack you true christians.

I am here to introduce you a happy atheist: myself.
Each one of us finds happiness from different things. If you guys found yours through religion, then ok. Good for you. I myself find happiness in various things that life has to offer and I can do it without believing in existance of God.

But then again life is more than just being happy all the time. Each of us face challenges in life. For all of us there are both, good and bad times. Makes life interesting.

It was brought up that typical atheist is angry. Feeling anger towards fellow men and Jesus. If this is your experience of atheists, then without a doubt there must be such atheists out there. However I, as an atheist, do not feel unnecessary hatred towards anyone. I have both, atheist and religious friends and I tend not to judge anyone by their believes alone.

Also I do not feel the need to make it a big deal what I believe and what I don't. I don't waste my time trying to convert others in seeing things the way I see them. Rarely do I waste my time debating over religion vs atheism.

If someone wants to believe in God, then who am I to tell them they can't.

I am not afraid of death. It is only natural for every living thing to cease existing eventually. I acknowledge my insignificance in larger scale and am quite ok with it.


Hate me for saying this, but if I was to spend my whole life for the sole purpose of trying to avoid hell while being constantly in fear of what ever I do may condemn me.. it just wouldn't be much of a life.
