Re: Ask an atheist a question.

Why would God want more contact? Whatever contact He decides to make is, by definition, the right amount. Of course it does. In the early days, he was anxious that everyone got it right or was slaughtered. So He had the Bible written as a manual – we can thus simply refer to the Maker’s Handbook! ??? Fish?

1)God has infact never had contact if the bible is 100% true, god never appeared ina physical form or element and very few people actually ahd an experiance of his excistance.
2)How do you know what a "God" would think?, from a book? That people wrote? Who never saw him or have no proof that they did, lets not even talk about the contradictions of the bible.Contradictions Here
3)Fish??, this is infact a pagan sign believe it or not, look it up, infact fish is used throughout the bibles excistance.The Christain cross is infact also a pagan symbol, google knows all.

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

it makes you ignorant by default.

That's pretty rich coming from the author of the above posts.

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

Don't know if I can put it all in words. I go back and forth with admiring different religions for different reasons. I think there's SOMETHING out there, but it doesn't seem to be conscious...or it would want more contact with us. I don't understand in the Bible, I think God spoke to people more in the early days, but then why did he shut up and go quiet? That doesn't make sense. And in Christianity, its some sort of holy sacrifice that he sent his only "begotten son" to die for us, but why is that such a big deal when there are plenty and plenty of people who have their kids die for their faith or religion and the ways god divides men and women and fish and meat etcetera does not make sense to me. I'm just looking at the surface of it all but those logical points just jump out at you. Doesn't mean I don't want to learn more about it, tho

At last a possitive comment, that is another reason for posting this topic, to learn about relegion in a members perspective, from what i have read many mmbers refuse to even accept life behind the wall of religion, i have read the bible, and been taught it in church years ago, but this does not aid its factual evidence. The bible was created by many people, spanning from many years with long time line gaps, its all very vested with what it wants, control. Thanks

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

Dear friend, How can you not believe in the concept of "Christianity". The concept exists. You just want to go out and throw around your disbelief, when you don't even know what you can or cannot believe in.

The word you really should have used would be "value" instead of "believe in".

You just show your ignorance by using the wrong words.

One has to be really stupid to not believe in something that does exist.

Its not ignorance, as your concept exists how ever due to what your religion is based apon, and many others, it is infact your ingorance to not try and put your self in my shoes. Your relegion infact disallows this, so it makes you ignorant by default. On the other hand, you could say that i am being ignorant for posting this topic on this website due to its nature, but i think topics like this promote healthy thaught.
Side note, I CANNOT CHANGE MY SIGNITURE - I DID NOT MAKE IT,WHO EVER DONE THIS IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THERE POWERS SO THAT THEY ATTEMPT TO CHARACTERIZE ME AGAINST MY WILL.IS THIS CHRISTAIN?

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

Imagine that you are on a high mountain – all around you, you see the earth spread out before you. It is sunset on a warm and clear evening and it is beautiful.

How can an atheist appreciate any of this? To him it is nothing but a load of fantasy about geography, geology, biology and other ungodly so-called “sciences”, whereas, to a Christian, this is the perfect and peaceful beauty of a Godly Creation.

Atheists see everything through eyes that ask, “What’s in it for me?”

Well its alot less complicated than using a "god" to inspire beauty, especialy when a god inspires war and death.
My opinion of what an Athiest is is someone who does not believe in a god and i will stand by that,not any other belief. I have always been like that with no change. Just vecause there is no god in my world does not mean that i needed it in the first place too find beauty, infact that point its self makes it even more apparent that God is an object instead of a symbol,an object to base ideas apon.

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

I have a question. Do you know what the word superfiction actually means? Because it appears from your post that you do not.

I know that word! I always thought it sounds precosious - if you say it loud enough that is.

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

Me too. I think everyone would have to go under hypnosis or somethin to to get to the bottom of what they believe and Why.

Are you volunteering to undergo the process first?

Why do YOU believe what you do or don't believe?

Re: Ask an atheist a question.

I've always been confused by atheists. Their ideas are always changing from day to day, just according to what scientists are currently claiming is the "truth."

I think it takes a lot more faith to believe that all this world came into being by chance than by the hand of a loving Creator who sacrificed Himself for our salvation.
