10 Reasons Why Atheists are better than Christians

I think that all of you have some very gross misinformation and misunderstandings about atheism. Let me break down the benefits of being an atheist. Here are 10 Reasons (of many more) why to be an atheist is cooler:

1. When you are slapped

ATHEIST: You can kick back and make them spit a tooth.
CHRISTIAN: You have to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39).

2. When you have an enemy

ATHEIST: You can hate him, you can abuse him. You can mistreat him and use him.
CHRISTIAN: You have to love him. (Matthew 5:44)

3. If you see something cool unattended

ATHEIST: You can steal it, as long as you don't get caught. It's no big deal and nothing will happen to you except having something new that's cool!
CHRISTIAN: You can't steal (man doesn't that suck!)

4. If you happen to become a dictator

ATHEIST: You can kill as many of your and other countries' people so long as you are able to do it. If your plans go awry and you are being attacked by more powerful countries on all sides and losing the war, you can always commit suicide and rest in peace - there is no eternal punishment for you.
CHRISTIAN: You can't do anything, and most likely you will not be able to become a dictator seeing the malice, lies, and murder you'd probably have to commit.

5. What does science say?

ATHEIST: Science says that we are all a product of the leaves of the redwood tree. Everything contradicts those uneducated Christian theories, including the one about people actually being different from animals. As if, we all know that court and justice are a joke - all of our behavior is programmed in the genes and none of it is our fault.
CHRISTIAN: Christians don't believe in science!

6. What book/standard of morality do you follow?

ATHEIST: An atheist DOES NOT follow any fixed or static MAN-MADE notion of anything. We all know that things change and never stay the same. Back in the '50s it was cool for everyone to smoke. Now it's like totally incorrect! See what I mean. Same with homosexuality - back in the day it was totally wrong, now - well that evil 2008 California ban has been overturned! So what morality is there to follow except whatever makes you feel good and doesn't hurt others? Decency is only a construction of the mind.
CHRISTIAN: Sooo many rules, so little time left to enjoy being YOU! Am I right? As a Christian you have to defend the Bible (and the Pope if Catholic), and this means you have to spend hours researching various factoids that your atheistic opponent brought up in the flash of his imagination as a contradiction. Atheists do not have this problem - they have nothing to adhere to save the belief that there is no God absence of belief that there is a God.

7. Who will be in prison?

ATHEIST: We all know that most statistics show that CHRISTIANS are the majority of prisoners. When you fill in your religious status, regardless of your crime, that makes you exactly what you wrote. We all know there is no difference between what you write down as your religion and whether you actually practice it. For example, if I write down that I'm American, and I always eat Chinese food - I'm NOT Chinese!!!!
CHRISTIAN: The Bible says that you are a slave. Paul constantly says that he is in chains for Christ. It is no different today!

8. Who has better taste in Music/Clothes/Cooking/Movies, etc?

ATHEIST: Atheists have the best tastes in all modern categories. Two proofs: 1) Atheists invented modern technology; prior to this, religious fanaticism prevented technological advancement and tried to strangle science in its cradle. 2) Atheists are the masters of new trends and style: an atheist does not hold down to anything conservative and is up for anything, which is why they invent all the new stuff like leather jackets, Harley Davidson bikes, and Sports magazines.
CHRISTIAN: If you're a woman you MUST wear a skirt - it doesn't say so in the Bible, but everyone says so, even though this was just a European custom that was overturned by some in the 19th century. If you're a woman you MUST wear something to cover your shameful head in church, as 1 Corinthians 7 says (never mind that this applied only to one culture long ago, let's pretend it was meant for all time). Men have to have short hair, but of course this isn't a rule, but more like a general observation that was prevalent in the Greeks' days since at least Herodotus.

9. Who is most likely to go to Mars/advance space travel?

ATHEIST: Look at Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. He was a humanist who believed that all religions brought about wars, such as the cult of Hitler, Stalin, and all the other dictators (Cambodian killing fields) - how many inventors of the light bulb died fighting like that? It's impossible, as Christians say, that people were simply culturally accepting of a belief in God due to a lack of a better explanation for life, but didn't have correct actions.
CHRISTIAN: Since the Earth is flat, the sky is blue because of a cover that prevents us from going into outer space (the moon landings and space travel are hoaxes), there is no way to space travel. One could, however, walk off the edge of the Earth and he will land on the back of a purple jelly fish. It is this purple jellyfish, combined with the Sun's rays that makes the sky blue (if you don't believe me, look up the fact that scientists DO NOT know why the Sun is yellow - I have my theory: Robitussin).

10. Atheists are better educated and more likely to graduate college

ATHEIST: Considering atheists do not believe in the clearly impossible theory of Creationism, they have the majority on their side, which as we all know, is always right. Also, new theories are made ONLY by atheists because scientists are only atheists since Christians do not believe in science - they believe in belief.
CHRISTIAN: Universities were banned and destroyed (Library of Alexandria) by Christians. It took 15,000 years before the first university (Al-Azhar, Cairo) could open up. Then another 500 for the Paris one, and so on. Yes, the Catholic Church sponsored them, but they also sponsored the Inquisition, so we can't give them credit for anything.

So you tell me who it is better to be?

If you are an ATHEIST, you will:

1. You can hit back and get revenge all the time
2. You can hate anyone you want
3. You can steal any cool-looking diamond you see
4. You can become a dictator and live like an emperor
5. You will have science on your side
6. You will have a morality that always agrees with the majority and thus never look like a jerk
7. You will never go to prison (you'll commit suicide and get away with it if you do a crime of course)
8. You will have better taste in clothes, food, music and everything else.
9. You will probably bring back photos from outer space proving to Christians that God is not in outer space and they are wrong.
10. You and your atheistic kids will graduate college and your Christian neighbor won't.

If you are a Christian, you will:

1. Suck
2. Suck
3. Suck
4. Suck
5. Suck
6. Suck
7. Suck
8. Suck
9. Suck
10. Cardiovascular disease

But I am not a newcomer. I have been here since the beginning of time. You may not have recognized me. I was the electron of the first button that was installed in this forum. I have finally evolved into a man, who shares the same characteristics as the medieval commentator on Dante: Giovanni Boccaccio. I also share an affinity for making paper airplanes like he did.

I think you mean "favorite" sir. This is America and we do not have silent "u's" and other hidden letters. America will rule the world, and as an American I demand you change or become a worker on my ant farm.

By the way, did you know that Columbus died thinking he had gone to India? He never realized he had discovered an entire new continent! He based his theories on the maps of Cardinal D'Ailly and the Toscanelli world map. Yet, when he first reached land he didn't even bother recording his feelings about discovering land and being right in his journal! Yet he wrote about how happy he was for winning the 10,000 maravedis yearly prize for being the first to spot land (even though it wasn't really him). Quite the man, eh? I never did understand why they named America after Amerigo Vespucci - he would have found nothing if it wasn't for Columbus. America should have been named Columbica or something like that :/

My appologies. I did not realise you had the autism. Fair warning: your subject of extended interest is of no importance here.

This is a site for Jesus. Ask the person who helps you to show you to a history forum. I'm sure you will enjoy that more than silly old Jesus.

God bless you.

Re: False Religions And Cults

I think Wicca is up there on the list of the worst False Religions. I mean, come on, what person in their right mind lights candles and prays to trees?? I've heard before that Wiccans perform some of their 'rituals' naked AND outdoors. Why?? It's clearly stated in the bible that we are to worship ONLY GOD and NOT his creations (i.e. trees and plants)

Whoever thinks hell is a place is anti Christ in their teachings.

God is light to the saved being a devouring fire to evil. That light turns the wicked into ashes. f Malachi 4:3.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Revelation 20: 9 is when that happens. The wicked are not around the city likes the sands of the sea writhing in agony around the city of God. Don't be ridiculous.

Psalm 104:2

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Gods ‘s light is a devouring fire. That is what is Hell to evil on judgment day. That day is described in Revelation 20.
Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire.

King James Bible 1 John 1:5:This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.Revelation 1:16:King James Bible


And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Psalm 104:2
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Gods ‘s light is a devouring fire. That is what is Hell to evil on judgment day. That day is described in Revelation 20.
Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire.
King James Bible 1 John 1:5:This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Re: False Religions And Cults

Ok, that's a viable premise, so far so good.

The problem is everything that comes after. Nothing you cite in your painfully incoherent way supports your contention (or even has much, if anything, to do with the subject of Hell in the first place).

Of course, discussion of the natures of Hell and the anti-Christ really don't belong in this thread, so why don't you use the "Search" function to find a better place for your next rant?

Re: False Religions And Cults

Perhaps that was supposed to be an example of a false religion. Since we've already had Jehovo Witnesses (in post #1) posted as recently as 2006, this example might be one of their sub-cults.

Raëlism is one of them, founded by a French racing car driver inside a volcano where "Elohim" had landed to enlighten the world. Fortunate really that he happened to be there, the inside of a volcano not being the best location for worldwide audiences. Sort of like the JW's, except they're Elohim's Witnesses.

The best way to participate is to be a pretty Eurasian, in which case you get free access to his ashram or whatever he calls it.
• some disciples during "Love Hug Day" (their version of Christmas I suppose)
• inside an ashram
• The "prophet" (he says he isn't a prophet), and
• In his previous life

Now at first glance there may not seem many similarities between a French racing car driver and an English Lord.

..You will recall that after the “Fall” Adam was expelled from Eden.

Therefore the Lord God sent him
forth from the Garden of Eden
to till the ground from whence he came. Genesis 3:23

[and] it was postulated that a number of the Elohim (gods) had indulged in a breeding experiment. This went wrong and they were expelled, too, along with the race of Adam. These were the ‘fallen angels’.
..Now, where was the first earthly Garden of Eden?
..William F. Warren, in his scholarly work Paradise Found, or The Cradle of the Human Race at the North Pole, quotes from a translation by A. M. Sayce taken from a book called Records of the Past:

..We are told of a dwelling which ‘the gods created for’ the first human beings – a dwelling in which they ‘became great’, and ‘increased in numbers’, and the location of which is described in words exactly corresponding to those of Iranian, Indian, Chinese, Eddaic,and Aztecan literature; namely, ‘in the centre of the Earth’.

..Warren places the entrance to this Paradise firmly and squarely in the North Pole area.
..There are many biblical references to this area. Here is a very pertinent one from Job:

He stretches out the north over
the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He bindeth up the waters in his
thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent
under tham.
He holdeth back the face of his
throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
He hath encompassed the waters with
bounds until the day and night come
to an end. Job 26:7-10

..An American who has done considerable research into the hollow Earth theory is Raymond A. Palmer, a magazine editor and publisher.
..In an article Palmer commented upon these verses from Job:

..Viewed from space, the Earth would seem to be spherical, and the hole would not in any way change the regularity of the sphere. (We will be discussing the hole later – Author.) We can easily understand this when Job makes his reiterated mentions of the clouds that cover the hole (polar explorers curse the eternal fog). Particularly in ‘he holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it’.

..The Scandinavians have a legend of a wonderful land far to the north called Ultima Thule (often confused today with Greenland). Is Ultima Thule in that mysterious area beyond the Pole alleged to lead into the interior of the Earth?
..The well know French writer, Robert Charroux, has written of the legends of the underground worlds of Agartha and Shamballah.
..There are many more references both in the Bible and in classical literature to this legendary inner world.
..Now we will present real, solid proof that the Earth, without any doubt whatsoever, is hollow.

Hmm.. but at second glance.. materialisation inside a volcano vs materialisation inside the Earth? Breeding experiments? Aliens? These JW (or EW) sub-cults fail on so many levels but do stack up well on the FALSE meter so if that contributor was not actually suggesting them, I'll add them now (subject to Pastoral approval).

Re: False Religions And Cults

Wrong again, junior.

Matthew 12:30:
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

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.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
