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.

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.
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?

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.

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.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Well thank you for the warning.

Tell you what pastor, the first time Satan shows up, I will drive to Freehold, give you all of my possessions and beg for forgiveness and baptism.

Fair?

I have a better idea: Sell everything you own right now and send it all in to me on behalf of Jesus, and I'll Pray for the demons to keep out of your rectum.

Give up your heathen ways and accept Jesus.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Meditation is a conduit for demons to enter your head and possess you, use you for their own devices, and claim your soul for satan.

There's an introduction thread? I didn't know. It's hard to find things when your website is designed like an Ikea.

...I'm trying to be very patient here.............................................. .......................................

1. Go to The Introduction Forum.
2. Look right Above the icon called "New Thread".
3. Read (Starting from the left).
4. Follow instructions.

You're on your own now. Let's see how you do.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Yeah, why are you here and why can't you be bothered to make an introductory post like you were nicely asked to?

And please do it in the introductory thread. I know it's hard for you idiots to understand such things like rules, but hey, humor us.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Yes. Why do you hate God? It is certainly a personal sin that makes you mock Him.

Me hating god is like you hating Bigfoot.
