LaVerdad: When threads like these are posted I generally find not many will actually discuss, but just want to sow the seeds of their own religious beliefs and propaganda. Such are not prepared to listen to others and debate in a reasonable manner because their minds are closed and some are just completely brainwashed.
God doesnt brainwash,God loves us more than our parents ,blievers's Mind are open and bright,I am trying help my athiest friends to come to the right way as they can be out from darkness
LaVerdad: Control being the operative word, praying on the vunerable, uneducated and people who perhaps have lost any kind of direction in their lives.
Thats exactly why religions fight so hard to stay in control of governments and the education systems
LaVerdad: You have completely missed my point. One great thing about aethists is that they are far more accepting and respect the beliefs of others.
I disagree.
I have seen plenty of atheists calling people complete idiots here in CS (quite some time ago, mind you) who had any kind of faith.
However, as with those who have faith, there are also some very nice atheists who choose not to belittle those who do not share their views.
I'm an agnostic rather than an atheist, but I've appreciated the sensible posts of atheists here on CS (not the ones who call other people idiots).
The calm posts of the sensible, decent atheists have helped me confirm my own belief that all the religious texts I have read are 99.999% likely to be the words of imaginative men rather than 'the word of God/Allah/Jehovah'.

Who is to say... yours is the right way Ali and believe me.... It ain't dark in here !
ali110: what is the blieve of athiests?why they dont blieve in GOD and his Prophets?
I am an atheist Ali. I believe in and practice love, caring, sharing, nurturing, truth, morality etc but I have never needed a book to educate me this way, or to be the member of a club to help keep me on this path. It is just there inside me for some reason and I just get on with it.

Aethists do not reside in darkness and this is propaganda in a subtle manner.

Thankyou for your kind words Ali, but I am like RDM59 said in the pervious post.... I read the book once and found it to be a good read... many analagies of the way we should lead our lives, fables and wonderous tales as an example of what good people should do.
I do not need that book to remind me, or others to try and convince me to follow a certain way..... for me.... my way is the best and it's the only one that will get me to the end of my journey.
ali110: Englishman ,I know that u r so Nice and wise man wth a positive brain, God says in his book all about the religions,believers and Non blievers

In general you will find religious people out on the streets, knocking on your door, posting leaflets through the letter boxes more so than people who do not follow religion. Why because they are not interested in trying to convert people.

Actaully u dont have read the Quran so u dont know that what it says about fight ,Fight wthout reason is not allowed,To fight for Govt or selfpower is strongly prohibited.Religion islam's first choice is education
ali110: God doesnt brainwash,God loves us more than our parents ,blievers's Mind are open and bright,I am trying help my athiest friends to come to the right way as they can be out from darkness
Lets get this straight - you have 'belief' in in your God - no proof of it - when questioned as the word of God the Bible falls flat on its rear end........
ali110: Actaully u dont have read the Quran so u dont know that what it says about fight ,Fight wthout reason is not allowed,To fight for Govt or selfpower is strongly prohibited.Religion islam's first choice is education
This thread seems to me it is becoming about one persons belief in their own religion.

Plus you must not automatically assume people have not read the Quran or even been educated. What we chose to do with the knowledge that we gain from reading any religious texts is entirely up to ourselves.
