Evolution remains a fact

Your so-called scientifical "facts" always seem t change. God's Word never changes, ever.

By that logic, bald is a hair colour and not collecting stamps is a hobby.

The rest isn't worth a reply

Nothing changes though. Evolution remains a fact

Then show evidence when you present a "fact"

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Christianity = belief in 1 God
Atheism = belief in 0 gods
Polytheism = belief in n number of gods (depending on specific religion)

Hence, atheism is yet another form of belief. Christianity has the evidence in the Bible, polytheistic religions tend to have their "evidence" in mushroom induced visions or something like that, but atheism has no evidence at all.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

But an atheist doesn't even need to have heard about the Big Bang to rightly conclude their atheism. They solely need a lack of faith in a deity

Re: Are You an Atheist?

If something can't come from nothing than where did God come from and how could God possibly create everything?

God didn't come from anywhere. He is eternal. He has always existed and therefore never needed to be created.

Ps 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

God could create everything because He is omnipotent.

Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Also, "the bible said so" is not a valid answer because you can't prove that your Bible is correct.

It is a valid answer because the Bible proves itself correct. We know that the Bible is God's Word (2 Tim 3:16) and that God's Word is truth (Jn 17:17b). It follows, then, that if the Bible is true, it would have told us if it wasn't true.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Atheism is the belief that everything came from nothing. That's what it boils down to. That's what you have to accept if there is no Creator. We don't need to know anything about atheism in order to refute it; we only need to know God.

You baptists claim that god is real because something can't come from nothing

But let me ask you this

If something can't come from nothing than where did Come from and how could god possibly create everything.

Also, "the bible said so" is not a valid answer because you can't prove that your Bible is correct.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Well apparently i need to be bitchslapped by God.



I think somethings out there that started everything, but so far I've never "felt God". I would believe the bible and in your version of God if there weren't so many ways to prove it wrong and so little proof supporting it. I don't hate your religion or any religion, I'm just curious about your opinions of God. So what do you guys mean by "feeling God"?

The reason you don't "feel god" is because you are smart and logical enough to see that god is false

If you claim to feel god you are either high or schizophrenic

Hey Pim
This is a common misconception and a completely understandable one to make.
I don't believe something came from nothing, and I'm sure most atheists don't. I don't know what happened before the Big Bang, I don't know if we're a universe inside a universe, these questions are yet to answered in our accepted proven ways, there are hypothesis out there, some hold substance, some don't. But I just don't see the logic in filling this gap with a deity? It manages to explain all but prove nothing.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Hey Mary
With all due respect, theological philosophers have failed to provide any, in all the millennia of Christianity.
Atheism is not a faith in materialism, your looking too deep, it is merely the lack of faith in a deity, not the supernatural as a whole, just deities.
Atheism isn't based on facts, as no facts are needed to have a lack of faith.
Science is built on fact, and as is usually the case, atheists will use scientific fact to uphold their atheistic views, but they are not bound by science, or evolution or abiogenesis or anything else.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

My beliefs are founded on the Gospel of Christ Crucified (1 Corinthians 1:23), whereas cathlics are not Christians.



Atheism is faith in materialism and the self as god. It takes more faith to be an atheist because it's based on no facts whatsoever, and requires nothing but faith. The Bible, on the other hand, has example after example of Truth and scientific fact that helps prove its claim.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

What?!!!!
Well, ones a mono-theistic religion, like yours, worshipping the Judea-Christian God, Yahweh like yours, except Catholicism is older, and a religion to which yours is founded upon.

My beliefs are founded on the Gospel of Christ Crucified (1 Corinthians 1:23), whereas cathlics are not Christians.

And atheism is merely the disbelief in supernatural deities. The difference is the entire concept

Atheist, cathylick, what's the difference? They both reject God and embrace a warped, dangerous obsession with deviant sexual practices.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

We agree but friend we are talking about atheists. They are vile lowlifes who do nothing but mock Christians all day.

Hitler was an atheist after all.

“I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty
Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord’s work.”

[Adolph Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936]

“My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded
by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian
and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord
at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight
against the Jewish.

[Adolf Hitler, speech in Munich on April 12, 1922]

“I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of
the Almighty Creator.”

[Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp. 46]

“This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the
practical existence of a religious belief.”

[Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp.152]


“If Dr. Karl Lueger had lived in Germany, he would have been ranked
among the great minds of our people.”

[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3, about the leader of
the Christian Social movement]

Funny sort of atheist
All, evidence that some theists will tell you anything to make you believe, even if it's so blatantly false, as this initial comment.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

I guess I have to go with "agnostic" although it doesn't really suit me. I don't "need God to bitchslap me" but some twinge or something. Perhaps the so called "still small voice"? I spend enough time in meditation, he could contact me any time he likes.

The arrogance is astounding!

So, you expect God™, the Heavenly Father™, to just drop everything he's doing, everywhere in the world, in the UNIVERSE, and pop in for a little chat with you?

Ha!

Certainly when God™ has a few spare minutes in his busy day, he spends it checking in with the Pastors and Male Elders....not some disbeliever squatting on a rug somewhere, chanting who-knows-what mumbo-jumbo.
