Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

if there is God, i would then kneel before him and ask him why was there soo many religions and why couldn't I, like many other before me were not able to "feel" the right branch of the right religion had any more truth than any other. If he gives me bad answer and or sends me to hell, then so be it, for then he is an angry God, one I would then like to serve.

~An angry, vengeful God which did not endow me with the "faith" so he could then persecute me after I die. What kind of God is that?

It sounds like your mind has been corrupted by Demons, friend.

Our Pastors offer very competitive rates for removing Demons. We are one of the few Churches that offer you a 100% Guarantee of Salvation through Jesus Christ or your Money back.

God will catch you and God will punish you.

Leviticus 19:3-5
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

It's quite clear that atheists hate GOD and His law, for that is the very reason they are atheists. They'd rather make up their own rules and be miserable than live under GOD's rules and be happy. You are not willing to let go of yourself and let GOD take over, so you look for reasons to deny Him. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.-Psalm 14:1

~SteveTheNiceAtheist: No, we don't hate your God. Honest. Many Atheist are Anti-theists who dislike religion in general. Anyways We don't believe your God exists how could hate we him, he who doesn't exist is fairly hard to hate. O.o ~hope, that was't too brutally honest there~


It's your liberal doctrine of "if it feels good, do it" that has given rise to such rampant homosexuality, premarital sex, and even the rise in abortions that we've seen. Obviously people get some kind of sick and twisted pleasure out of creating life and then killing it in a most unimaginable and brutal way. GOD originally established a no-tolerance policy for breaking His laws, and if those were still in place, we wouldn't have the problems we do now.I do not accept any point of view except GOD's, and ..."

~SteveTheNiceAtheist: Ok, this one is just silly, even for an quite a few atheists: "if it feels good, do it" You forget I am a fellow sentient cognitive rational human being. Having sex means taking chances. The problems with sex is at least a general fear of STD's. More sex equates to a higher chance probability you will get one. There less sex, and a kind of monogomy is what is actually better for people. Drugs are bad. duh. No, I mean it. seriously. Some give you cancer, some impair judgement, some burn holes in your brain if taken ecsessivley, some gump up your lungs with tar. (I Haven't done drugs or sex of my own accord~btw)

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.-Psalm 33:11



If I just made up some arbitrary rules and said 'these are what everybody should live by and if they don't they are wrong,' then you might have a point. But I am following the laws set up by the LORD our GOD. I didn't just make this stuff up in my head.

~SteveTheNiceAtheist: "made up some arbitrary rules and said 'these are what everybody should live by and if they don't they are wrong" Tis is what laws of sovereign nations are you know. You should follow those laws or you will be punished and you will lose respect from those closest to you and from your community. Thats enough for me. O.O
I mean there are such thing as civil countries with a majority population being atheists like estonia, albania, Sweden

Blind faith in false gods like science is a dangerous thing. My faith is in the One True GOD, and it is not blind, it is merely childlike. There is ample evidence for GOD in the world, and the Bible even says the Bible is true! All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness...-2nd Timothy 3:16
I just told you why you should accept the Bible as true. It says so right in the Bible!

~SteveTheNiceAtheist: *Guess i am the infidel here.... walking slowly ... *
"accept the bible as true. It says so right in the Bible!" oh, i would have never guessd... really. Well, i guess its easy for you guys, i mean its not there has ever been claims made of other Holy Books or sacred text outside of Christianity (or even inside). Hey wasn't the bible put together by a group of men instructed my the holyspirit. So it must T..r..u... "STEVE RUN FOR THE HILLS AND DONT LOOK BACK!!""

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

well, if i were to say that about your faith, you would think i am being mean spirited and intolerant. Then you may say something like "its in the bible. duh." O.o

Not at all. We'd think you are uneducated and stupid. The Bible is a Living history book, Steve.

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

We disbelieve in all those other gods because they are false. When was the last time Zeus raised somebody from the dead?

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

atheists are close minded?

To be a theist you must be by definition a lower case atheist. What I mean is that to accept your interpretation of Christianity requires faith and then you must deny all other Gods and beliefs thereof but your own. (this is true for all Theism.) Atheist take that atheism, that disbelief in Gods just one more so than theists.

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

I am an atheist, but I'm keen to leaarn from you. Enlighten me please...

Readers, you will note how an atheist always starts with a lie! Stork2006 has absolutely no intention of hearing God’s Good Word and even less of being taught anything. However, let us hear what he has to say, it is a lesson in the immorality of atheism!

"God hating atheists" is an oxymormon, how can you hate something that you don't believe in; do Christians hate the Easter Bunny?

I suppose you have never “Boiled a kettle”? Your type’s pathetic stance is to persecute Christians for their beliefs. That is hating God, that is why you do it.

You take issue with an atheist accepting someone "regardless of disagreements with them" further suggesting that doing so "is your first sign there's something wrong with these folks!"


So I take it from that you will not accept ANY point of view other than your own? How do you learn?

You see readers, this atheist is weak on an understanding of simple faith – The point of view that a Christian has is God’s Point Of View – How could we accept any other?

"Sin" is a socially defined construct, sin to you is everything that does not conform to your view of the world. So if you define the parameters, and also decide who does and does not comply, perhaps you are not entirely open minded?

Again, the atheist flaunts his ignorance as a strumpet might flaunt her wares! A sin is what God says is a sin, even if to the heathen it may not appear harmful, we know sinning is harmful to your chances of Eternal Life!

"So it's okay to unquestioningly follow the writings of crazed astronomers and perverted scientists...Where's the logic in that?"

Logic? This is Faith! If God has said it, the scientist need not repeat it, if it contradicts God, it is rubbish!

The implication here is that one should not "unquestioningly" accept anything at face value. Fair enough. No science EVER asks for blind faith;

Some of it takes some believing though!!!

it is defined by the fact that it is evidence based.

As is the Bible.

Finally - you base most of your assertions on the basis that the Bible is the word of God. Ok - I'm open minded and like you suggested I won't "unquestioningly follow [your] writings".

So why should I accept that the Bible really is the word of God?

Here we have the doubting Thomas – here we have a tortured soul – happy to accept “theories” of scientists but demanding proof absolute of The Almighty, The Lord of Hosts! Son, The Bible (KJV1611) is God’s Word – why would he lie?

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

Certainly one of the most popular bragging points touted by GOD-hating atheists is that they are "open-minded" and accepting. They love to talk about how willing they are to try new things and how they accept everybody regardless of their disagreements with them. That right there is your first sign there's something wrong with these folks!

Since when is tolerating sin something to be proud of? Of course if you raise that point they are quick to dismiss it and avoid the issue. Not so open-minded now, are they?

They're always reading books and exposing themselves to dangerous new ideas, yet when a GODly True Christian kindly suggests they try reading the Bible, atheists jump to conclusions and say that it's nothing but a badly compiled collection of stories and morals that contradict each other and portray a GOD who is childish and cruel.

So it's okay to unquestioningly follow the writings of crazed astronomers and perverted scientists but it's foolishness to read the one and only book ever penned by the Almighty Creator of the Universe? Where is the logic in that?

"Oh but I have read the Bible, and I concluded that it was wrong and immoral!" How many times I have heard this from the lips of GOD-hating atheists. Obviously they had already made up their minds before they even considered the Bible, and just looked for the parts they could take out of context to make us and the LORD look like complete idiots.

So, atheists, I challenge you to REALLY be open-minded! Open your eyes to the overwhelming evidence that you were created by a loving GOD who cares about you enough to carefully catalog everything you do in your life that displeases Him. The fact that you're still breathing is proof that He is keeping you alive!

Thank you for your comments.

Re: Why atheists are not open-minded

Amen brother! You've hit it on the head this time!

The atheist motto is "Anything BUT Jesus" I think. They love to brag about how open-minded they are and how close-minded we True Christians(tm) are, but when it comes to using their God-given brains to see the wonder of God's creationship all around us, they seem to go blind, deaf and dumb.

I imagine it must be tough being an atheist. They live in an upside-down, inside-out world. Whatever is perverted and revolting to Jesus is alright by them, because satan is whispering in their ear, posing as "reason" and "free thinking."
