Re: Athiesm

No it's not.

Definitions:

Cult: A system or community of religious worship and ritual.

Atheism: Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.

Atheism does not = Cult. Athiesm does not constitute worship and ritual

I am an atheist, I am not a cultist. I do not worship anything.

Denying the existence of God is not unbelief but an exercise in self-deception. You may know things, but you cannot account for anything you know. Arguing against God's existence would be on par with arguing against the existence of air, breathing it all the while. You use the universal, immaterial, unchanging laws of logic, mathematics, science, and absolute morality in order to come to rational decisions, but you cannot account for them. These laws are not the only way God has revealed himself to you, but they are sufficient to show the irrationality of your thinking, and expose your guilt for denying Him.

There is a reason that you deny the existence of God and it has nothing to do with proof. I can show this to you. Do you think that you can continue to deny God because surely somewhere, sometime, a philosopher or scientist will come up with an explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws apart from God?' Did you ever try to come up with an alternate explanation on your own?

Hoping that an alternate explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws can someday be found apart from God, is a blind leap of faith, or wishful thinking. Isn't it interesting that this is exactly what professed unbelievers accuse Christians of?

Please examine the real reason why you are running from God. It is my prayer that God will open your eyes and change your heart so that you may be saved from your sin, embraced by His ferocious love, and that you will tithe robustly immediately using the Paypal button at the bottom of this page.

Friend, I don't envy you. What a sad empty life must you lead.

Genesis 22:5
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

Haha. I do not expect, want nor need your envy. My life is not sad and empty. I am happy. However I see what you're getting at. My life may indeed seem unfulfilling. Yet, there are other things I wish to do in my life. I wish to achieve. So I do not see my life as unfulfilling, sad nor empty. I want to go on to gain a PhD, and become a theoretical physist or chemist.

Just as God fulfills your life, science does mine. Just because I have no being to worship, does not mean I am empty and selfish.

Re: Athiesm

Alright, im posting it in here because there is no where else on here that is appropriate, well in all reality this isnt even appropraite seeing as it isn't a religion. But that's not the point. I am here to make the case for Athiesm, please don't try and tell me i am wrong because i could just as easily say the same thing back.

Yes, but you'd be lying. Like a typical atheist.

Reason 5) I can't see God, I can't touch God, I can't hear God, why should I believe that 'he' is in charge of my life?

That's just nonsense. Catholic priests touch little children, but do they believe that they run the universe?

Reason 8 ) How can you put blind faith into something that is so self contradictory?

Well, it's a lot easier than coming to a rational, informed decision to agree with something self-contradictory.

I'll have to disagree with the original poster. Atheism and Faith are NOT equal. How can they be? One doctrine is based on love and the other on critisism.

Well I might be wrong. There might actually be real christian spirit here - a great surging passion for mutual understanding and a drive to accept everyone as they are. There might actually be people here who truly loves all.

You don't seem very loving to us. Did you know that anarchists are all violent terrorists who hate God?

We wouldn't take seriously a Buddhist who spelled his religion "Buhddism".

To be fair, I can't imagine any circumstances in which I would ever take someone who worshipped a fat chink seriously.

Have you ever considered that there might be more to life than cooking crystal meth? And don't just say "yes, I also want to cook MDMA"!
