SirenLydia: No and thank our mythical stars for that!.....

It's quite strange, I don't feel the need to question
the beliefs of others, so long as they don't harm
people physically or mentally.
So why oh why are we always called out?


I guess I was harmed mentally by these types as a child. I cant help but question their stance and reasoning when they want me to go with their blind faith mentality

anonymous1: I don't believe 'atheists" exist, can anybody prove "atheists" exist?

Using the same standards of proof commonly accepted to deny the existence of God, can somebody prove "atheists" exist?

It wouuld be nice if the person attempting to do so, would refrain from using the words, faith, and/or belief; or forms of it.

Supposedly science, and reason are on the side of the mythological "atheists."

And, Christians only have faith, and belief.

So, please don't ask me to accept your belief, and faith as proof "atheists" exist; use science, facts, and reason.
put,them in front of a mock firing squad,then see who.they call for.

Raven0: Now that's a good question.
Wish there was a decent answer to that.
I think it may have something to do with how some fear those who are different.
But really, I have my own lemmings to push off a cliff.

I'm intrigued.......bouquet devil

Its quite simple they believe they are completely right and everyone else is completely wrong and when you are the holder of such a divine truth you pity the poor mortals that cant grasp your truths.

And before ts starts a storm of abuse I am not generalising everybody that believes in a god just the ones that try to brute force their beliefs on others

I feel exactly the same, I havent been on a religious thread for ages but I couldnt resist the flawed premise of this particular one - its such fun rolling on the floor laughing

I just suggested to the JW's at my door that if they want to keep their religion that they dont knock again - if they knock on my door surely they are seeking my views dunno but alas no, they are carrying out the great commission given to all christians to get out there and convert - its wearing so thin nowadays because people are so much less prone to accepting hokus pokus as fact..........



peace

I think we are called out a lot because people dont do their research properly, they just spout the same tired arguments time and again dunno

Yeah I think the world would be a totally different place if people could just realise there is no universal truth. Everything in life is about how we percieve things not what actually happens. Hence what is truth for one is not truth for another.

It's called brain washing and it's so sad that in this
day and age so many religions cannot be more open minded
and tolerent.
But then when you look around the world and see the wars
going on still in the name of some religion or other I
wonder if there is any hope for us poor souls!
Oh opps, I forgot we don't even have souls according to
some believers, funny this one should remind me of another.

Put a believer in front of a firing squad and I'll bet he/she will shit themselves also. In that situation I would try to go out with un-soiled dignity so I'd take the bible provided and shove it where the sun don't shine. tongue

Those who do not believe in the existence of God ( the Great Spirit) do not believe in their very own existence.

Ive been waiting for a version of this line of argument to come up, Ive seen it in many forms and have a great answer......

My daughter lay dying in intensive care and I didnt once pray to any of your gods, does that make it my fault that my daughter actually died? Was I being punished by the death of my daughter for not believing and daring to speak aloud about this? If so, you can keep the vindictive (supposed) entity cos I want no part of it........
