Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

and God is white.

Why? Where does it say so? He might as well be a black homosexual for all we know. Oh yeah, I guess you couldn't "love" him anymore without it being gay, huh...

Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

Easy - the one that follows the faith of Christ, as plainly expressed, in black and white, in the Holy Bible. Pretend you're a rock in the heavens and your name is Pluto and you want to be called a planet. Well, you have to meet certain requirements, right? You can pretend those requirements don't really count, and like Mr. Smyth explained you can pretend other requirements are more important. At the end of the day, however, either you qualify or you don't, depending on the requirements. Well, the Lord God Almighty wrote the requirements down. He preserved them for us humans in the pages of the King James Version Holy Bible. Others can pretend all they want, they can even tell themselves they believe it, but it doesn't matter to God who knows better.

I would offer you the same warning as well - you can convince yourself all you want that God isn't real and the Holy Bible is naught but a rich, historical, mythological narrative of the Jewish, and then Christian peoples, but God cares not for your rationalizations. You either fit the qualifications (Salvation), or you do not.



I understand for people like you, people without a moral code that transcends their own profit, all morals look the same. I understand that you would look at the Aztec religion and think of the hundreds of thousands of live sacrifices as being just another viable way to practice a personal religion. We know, however, that even something as simple sounding as honoring your mother and father is not universal, and how we honor them comes from how God changes our lives when we accept Christ into our hearts.



Then read the Bible, dear. You'll learn much you don't yet know.





You're a confirmed atheist. Do you realize atheists are less trustworthy than pedophiles? It's true. I would no more trust a pedophile to tell me he has a decent moral code than I would trust an atheist to say the same. Neither know the meanings of the words "decent" and "moral."

In fact, atheists are known to be more dangerous than muslims, feminists, and even sodomites.

do you have something against muslims? they worship the same god as you, after all. You're also saying that you would rather meet a person who will repeatedly rape your children than meet someone who doesn't believe in an invisible being in the sky? That just sounds like bad parenting.

Daniel 12:10 "Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

Now you just run along and do wickedly and continue not understanding, like the Bible tells you to.

Muslims worship the moon god Allah. This is not God: it is one of the made up polytheistic deities from the Islamic mumbo jumbo religion.

Only a person who doesn't worship the real LORD is capable of raping children. Ever heard of the Catholic Church?

Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

No. Atheists are normal people, like you. We simply do not believe in your god. We do not have an empty part in our life, because we believe that there is nothing to fill. We believe that there is no god, in any way, shape or form. Some of us do drugs. Some Christians do drugs.

[Basilissa]

Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

No. Atheists are normal people,

No (Psalm 14:1-4).

like you.

Atheist scum is nothing like us. We go to Heaven, you are condemned to Hell.

We simply do not believe in your god.

It's much more than that. You are miserable hateful beings who deny our Merciful Creator what he wants - veneration.

We do not have an empty part in our life, because we believe that there is nothing to fill.

In other words, you admit that talking to atheist about God is like talking to a blind guy about colors. You poor thing, you don't even know what you are missing... I'll pray for you.

1.How did Noah fit the millions and millions of species of animals on this planet into his ark? It doesn't take a mathematical genius to realize the physical impossibility of this.

You're a liar, and your father is the father of lies (John 8:44). Why should I believe you about this?

1.How did Noah fit the millions and millions of species of animals on this planet into his ark? It doesn't take a mathematical genius to realize the physical impossibility of this.

Do you know how many times Noah's Ark has been found? The details like how two to seven of each kind of animal (including those considered unclean by God, parasites, and dinosaurs) are fascinating details that are constantly being explored and understood. The important thing is, God so loved the world that He destroyed every trace of Sin so Noah and his family could start humanity all over again!

2. Why do innocent children have to suffer with terminal diseases such as cancer? What part of 'God's plan' is this exactly?

Well if I knew, I would be God, wouldn't I? But I don't know, and therefore I am not God (Isaiah 55:8-9). I do know, however, that as a human my demanding to understand the complex mechanics of how tumors growing out of control, slowly killing the host body in a cruel and painful way, the slow and avoidable starvation of millions of children around the world, is as foolish as a dog demanding to know how the car engine works. The dog cannot comprehend this, but the dog can enjoy the ride.

3 God wants everyone to worship and follow him and, if they don't, they burn in hell for all eternity. What does this type of attitude say about his character? By definition, he would be described as a tyrant.

Well, what kind of love would it be if it were coerced? If I had owned a robot that was programmed to act like it loved me, it wouldn't mean anything to me.

4. If every complex design requires a designer, who designed God, Gods God, and who is he?

Don't be silly. Not every complex design requires a designer. God doesn't require one, as He has always been (Genesis 1:1).

5. Why did God create mankind at all if in Genesis God said he was sorry he created them?

Remember the thing about choices? Mankind had made terrible choices such that the LORD was grieved. In love He called do-overs. He wrote the rules, He gets to call do-overs when He wants, you know. You might find God's answer to Job about this very thing helpful. He starts by saying "man up, whiner, and look at the facts..."

Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

Quite.



Like love and hope and honor?

Yes. When people hug or express emotions, I know that the emotions are real. When I see people crying, I can see sadness. Sadness is just a word for an emotion. The essence of sadness and happiness is something that I know to be true, because it has proved itself to me. If all happiness did was be mentioned in an old book, then I would have a lot more trouble believing in it, as opposed to when I feel it.

[/QUOTE]
Jeez, thanks. My father believed in the truth, as I do. That is why we (Swedishpower1) and I are atheists. We are not deceived or deluded. We do not hate your god. We cannot find proof he exists. If he zapped himself in my room right now and told me off, then I would believe in him. However, the only proof of his existence is, when you think about it, an old book that anyone could have written.

Yes, because really, people back then NEVER had ANY kind of boat. The ark was the first EVER. TOTALLY.
That is what you sound like.
What about all the animals? Quite apart from the fact that your god killed millions of innocent creatures, how on earth did they survive? Let's compare the ark to the Titanic.

Height:
Titanic: 175 feet
Ark: 45 feet
Length:
Titanic: 882 feet
Ark: 450 feet
Width:
Titanic: 92 feet
Ark: 75 feet
Made of:
Titanic: Steel
Ark: Wood
On board:
Titanic: 3,547 people and enough provisions for several weeks
Ark: Over 50,000 animals, 2,000,000 insects, 7 people, a 600-year-old man, and enough provisions for 1 year.
Time at sea:
Titanic: 5 days
Ark: 7 months

Why did your god not send a plague to wipe out humans only? What could the animals have eaten afterwards? All the plants would be dead. The fish would be, too.

Well if I knew, I would be God, wouldn't I? But I don't know, and therefore I am not God (Isaiah 55:8-9). I do know, however, that as a human my demanding to understand the complex mechanics of how tumors growing out of control, slowly killing the host body in a cruel and painful way, the slow and avoidable starvation of millions of children around the world, is as foolish as a dog demanding to know how the car engine works. The dog cannot comprehend this, but the dog can enjoy the ride.

So astute, comparing yourself to a dog. If Christianity is correct, than tumors and the slow, agonizing starving of millions of innocent children can be easily stopped by your god. What is saving some people to someone who made every single star (approx. 300,000,000,000 in our single galaxy, in case you were wondering) in ONE DAY?

Well, what kind of love would it be if it were coerced? If I had owned a robot that was programmed to act like it loved me, it wouldn't mean anything to me.

EXACTLY. The Christian god made humans to worship him. He did not people to want to think; people were punished for eating the fruit of knowledge. People were meant to be EXACTLY like the robots you mentioned: Unthinking, only able to praise you. How insecure is your god, anyway?

Don't be silly. Not every complex design requires a designer. God doesn't require one, as He has always been (Genesis 1:1).

Is that not a contradiction in terms?
On THIS FORUM, Christians agree that if it were not created by their god, it cannot exist. If your god was always around, than he was not created by himself. Therefore, he cannot exist.

Remember the thing about choices? Mankind had made terrible choices such that the LORD was grieved. In love He called do-overs. He wrote the rules, He gets to call do-overs when He wants, you know.

Sister Mary asked you specifically about honor, sweetie. Can you see/touch/smell/taste/hear it?

Jeez, thanks. My father believed in the truth, as I do. That is why we (Swedishpower1) and I are atheists. We are not deceived or deluded. We do not hate your god. We cannot find proof he exists.

If you truly didn't hate God, you would have been agnostic. Agnostics are losers who have no faith whatsoever. Atheists are losers who believe (without any evidence) that God exists. From my point of view, the latter is pretty close to hating.

Yes, because really, people back then NEVER had ANY kind of boat. The ark was the first EVER. TOTALLY.

And you know that how...?

What about all the animals? Quite apart from the fact that your god killed millions of innocent creatures, how on earth did they survive?

On Noah's Ark, obviously.

Let's compare the ark to the Titanic.

Why would you compare any boat to a piece of crap that sank on its maiden voyage?

Why did your god not send a plague to wipe out humans only?

Because He didn't want to.

What could the animals have eaten afterwards? All the plants would be dead. The fish would be, too.

Why would fish be dead, would the flood carry too much water for them?

If Christianity is correct, than tumors and the slow, agonizing starving of millions of innocent children can be easily stopped by your god.

Sure. However, God knows why He's sending these kids to their death. Obviously, either they or their parents have done something to deserve God's hate.

What is saving some people to someone who made every single star (approx. 300,000,000,000 in our single galaxy, in case you were wondering) in ONE DAY?

It's not the question of God being able to do so, it's the question of God wanting to do so.

The Christian god made humans to worship him.

Of course.

He did not people to want to think;

Yes.

people were punished for eating the fruit of knowledge. People were meant to be EXACTLY like the robots you mentioned: Unthinking, only able to praise you. How insecure is your god, anyway?

He is God. He does whatever He wants. I love Him so much! Sometimes, I imagine Him like a scientist playing around with lab rats: I think He enjoys making us live in inhumane conditions and observing how we react (like in Job's story in the Bible).

Is that not a contradiction in terms?
On THIS FORUM, Christians agree that if it were not created by their god, it cannot exist. If your god was always around, than he was not created by himself. Therefore, he cannot exist.

Wrong. God created the world. God is not world. God existed before the world.

In love, he called do-overs? How is wiping out entire planets because they can think loving? That is worldly genocide.

So? Try reading the Bible, sometimes. The Noah's story is not the only story of God approved genocide (albeit it was unquestionably the one with the most victims). Genocide is the way of clearing up land for True Believers.

[Mary Etheldreda]

Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

Yes.

No.

You don't actually see or touch these emotions. You infer them.

When people hug or express emotions, I know that the emotions are real.

Google "psychopathy."

Jeez, thanks. My father believed in the truth, as I do.

Liar.

That is why we (Swedishpower1) and I are atheists.

Don't be silly. Atheists are deluded fools living in denial.

If he zapped himself in my room right now and told me off, then I would believe in him.

Knowing you, you'd check into a mental asylum.

What about all the animals? Quite apart from the fact that your god killed millions of innocent creatures, how on earth did they survive?

Do you really think that God, who had just created the right environmental conditions to flood the entire earth, keep one family of supercentenarians and a boat-load of animals alive, found Himself inexplicably stumped with the problem of feeding them, waste disposal, and keeping them from eating each other?

Let's compare the ark to the Titanic.

Height:
Titanic: 175 feet
Ark: 45 feet
Length:
Titanic: 882 feet
Ark: 450 feet
Width:
Titanic: 92 feet

Time at sea:
Titanic: 5 days
Ark: 7 months

AMEN! Here is your proof of God's Sovereignty: The experts can be wrong. Experts built the Titanic and it sunk. Amateurs built the Ark and it floated!

Praise God!

Why did your god not send a plague to wipe out humans only? What could the animals have eaten afterwards? All the plants would be dead. The fish would be, too.

God created an entire female human population from one rib. Why do you think the problem of plants would confound Him?

What is saving some people to someone who made every single star (approx. 300,000,000,000 in our single galaxy, in case you were wondering) in ONE DAY?

Obviously, God's Will.

How insecure is your god, anyway?

Not insecure dear. Jealous (Exodus 20:5; Exodus 34:14; Deuteronomy 5:9; Joshua 24:19).

Is that not a contradiction in terms?
On THIS FORUM, Christians agree that if it were not created by their god, it cannot exist. If your god was always around, than he was not created by himself. Therefore, he cannot exist.

If you are going to argue against a Biblical point, at least get the point right.

In love, he called do-overs? How is wiping out entire planets because they can think loving? That is worldly genocide.

In the same way cutting off an entire breast to prevent the cancer to spread to the rest of the body is loving. Sinners are cancer upon mankind. We're trying to show you the cure so you don't get sliced off and thrown into Hell for all eternity.

Re: What is it like to be an atheist?

Average day of an atheist:

9:22 a.m. Wake up feeling terrible, hungover from the previous night.
9:45 a.m. Stumble over empty vodka bottles on the way to the bathroom.
10:00 a.m. Stare into the mirror thinking about your sad, pointless life and your inevitable date with Satan.
10:05 a.m. Shave.
10:16 a.m. Wonder where your life went wrong-- "Oh yeah, that's right--- avoiding church and rebuking Almighty God is how I became a hopless wretch," you say to yourself.
11:05 a.m. Porn on computer.
1:36 p.m. Mailman arrives with Government handout check.
3:31 p.m. Call your drug dealer for more drugs to dull your pain.
4:02 p.m. Drug dealer arrives with illegal drug delivery and a complementary Obama campaign lapel pin.
4:22 p.m. Regular porn won't do it for you any more, so it's on to gay porn.
5:06 p.m. Call a guy offering sodomy for sale on Craigslist.
6:00 p.m. More drugs.
7:00 p.m. More porn.
8:33 p.m. Pledge allegiance to Obama.
9:10 p.m. Call another guy on Craigslist.
9:52 p.m. Drive to liquor store, guzzling liquor all the way home.
10:22 p.m. More drugs.
11:42 p.m. Pass out, drugged up and drunk on the floor of the bathroom.

I'm fairly certain that's not how my life goes. But how would you know? Try going out into the real world for a change!
