please stop calling me a atheist

[napa valley nan]

I have been here for 2 days and explained myself and am still being called an atheist in post after post which is not right.

First) I am not atheist. I am not telling you your god doesnt exist. I am saying he does not exist for me or my kids because he has never called or shown his face. When and if he shows up, fine. It would be an interesting day. But it hasn't happened so the jurys still out.

Second) Of course a pro writer explains it better than me. She's getting onto what I mean when she says "Difference between agnostic and atheist is Atheist is a religion. It's absolutely dogmatic. It makes an absolute stand about something that cannot be proven; There is no god. You can't prove that. A strict agnostic says you can't pronounce as knowledge anyything you cannot demonstarate. In other words if you're going to call it knowledge You have to be able to run an experiment on it that's Repeatable. You can't run an experiment on whether god exists or not. Therefor you can't say anything about it as Knowledge. You can have a BELIEF if you want to or if that's what grabs you. If you're called in that direction, if you have a subjective experience of that kind, then that will be your belief system. You just can't call it knowledge." (at 7:15 mark)

Since I'm not saying there's no god, please stop saying my kids and I are trying to kill god. We can agree to disagree have you heard of that?

God isn't going to come out and be like "Hey here I am!" Especially to a sinner such as yourself. It's called FAITH. We have FAITH in God. We know he is there.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


Mark 11:22-24

What does this mean? That you're just not very good at being an atheist?

Nan,

You and your pro-writer are completely wrong. If you don't believe in God you are an atheist. Simple as that. You may be an agnostic too. Fine. But you are an atheist.

If you don't think so, then you are an atheist and a moron.

Why not?

If someone's goin to want me to follow him all my life and even bring my kids along, can't he spare 5 minutes to stop in and introduce himself? Why would I follow someone I never met? That doesn't make sense IMO (in my opinion)

The Scripture warns us of the dangers inherent in seeking signs. It is in the bible. Just as the Devil tempted Jesus, and He refused.

Luke 4:3

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

Jesus could have easily made that stone bread, but he didn't. He thought it's better for people to believe in me, then me prove it to them.

Now you are acting as Satan, You are asking God to prove his existence to you. He's not going to!

Re: please stop calling me a atheist

So your god would like me to devote my familys lives to him and I guess give him all our money and time and thoughts, but he can't be bothered to stop by even once?

Wow he has a pretty nice job I'd say!

No I'm sorry I don't mean to poke fun...it just doesn't fit in with the way I think of people, or expect them to treat me and my loved ones. Sorry

Like I said it's called faith. You have to have faith in God. God gave every one free will. He don't have to prove himself to you or anyone. How dare you question God? Who are you?

I gave you a chance to prove yourself not an atheist. ... But now that's how your acting... Like a atheist.

God appeared to Moses as a burning bush, but that's why Moses is a prophet and you are not. Exodus 3:2 .

It's okay, no need to apologize to us.

Enjoy Hell.

God point! She is not a prophet and is not worthy of seeing God.

Well I'm still figuring it out life's a journey. Sorry I couldn't explain it better. Maybe when you're older like me you'll understand.

I'm just saying okay you believe in a god fine. But stop trying to line everyone up against the wall and hold a bible to their throat and threaten them. saying if they don't believe they're going to die and burn to a crisp. You can't prove that so I don't think you should state it as fact.

Which is why it has no place in the legal system and gets tossed out. you can't prove it....so no one's life here on earth can be made to hang in the balance of what this God reported as said

I know I can't express perfectly but...everyone can ease up a little, basically.

You came here to a Christian board. We didn't personally go find you and hold a bible to your throat! You came here. You gave your opinion. Do you think we will hold back on ours to make you not feel pressured by the Christian lifestyle? NO! We will give our honest opinion, and defend GOD and his values.
