Atheism...

I think you are an idiot due to the fact of how much you generalize. I am an atheist and I never preach atheism, nor do I have any problem with any people of any religion.
 
Religion and the existance of god is such a broad and easy topic to debate about its not even funny. My opinion is the universe was created from the big crunch/bang theroy where the previous universe imploded upon itself then exploded because of the massive density. Imagine all the matter of the entire expanding univerese in a ball no larger than your fist....

God is like a last resort for people to go when they dont or cant understand something. Like the evolution/creation of mankind. Since theres no records of what happened people just fall back on the God created it thing.
 
Hm. People get sick of christians?

But, it's not a big deal.
 
EDIT: Please make sure you clearly understand the discussion topic before posting.

I have a question for any atheists out there. I have been wondering this for a while.

What is the point of proving there is no God? Do you feel it gets you anywhere in life? If there is no God, it should not be a big deal, right?

I am just curious on what atheists think about this. Personally I think if they did not subconsciously believe in a God, they would not try to make their minds believe there is no God.

If you haven't guessed already, I am a Christian. I do not wish to debate my faith. It would not be interesting, as I would never change my beliefs. I simply want to know why some people preach atheism, as I cannot see anywhere they could believe it would get them.

Clearing it up:
This is not a "Does God exist?" thread. I am not asking that. I want to know only why atheists preach atheism, as if they do not believe in a God, there would be no heaven, so it does not get them anywhere after this life.

Then again I also think that people think too much about life... anyway let's hear some input!

Your right man. I deep down inside think there is a god. I just spend my time on the forums covering up for it.

I really have doubt in a god, nothing really can change that unless god himself came down and proved it.
 
Atheism, as far as i can understand it is a group of people that somehow have stumbled away from religen and are lost trying to find a reason for life,

they try and prove there is no god(s) Because they simply want to prove themselves right.

Everyone has their own beliefs but i will always stay a Christian
 
Theist91, you seem to believe that Christianity is an innocent concept, perhaps even positive. It's not. Christianity and religion in general has a lot more evil deeds than Atheism.

(The following words are all religions mixed together because I'm too lazy to seperate them)
Religious extremenists often unfairly take away peoples rights. Look at Jerry Falwell, the biggest douchebag to ever walk this planet - He closed gay and lesbian bars and clubs, banned pornography and threatened with Heaven and Hell. You have suicide bombers who blows themself and a bus of innocent school children up, to slay in the name of Allah. The Ku Klux Klan torturing and murdering black people because that's how they interpreted the Bible. And let's not forget that the Christian churches was the number one obstacle in the quest for giving women equal rights as men, as well as giving black people equal rights as white people.

"The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation." - Elizabeth Cady Stanton, American suffragist 1815-1902.

Religious missionaries spreads a contagious disease, called stupidity. (And yes, I am fully aware of the fact that stupidity is not a disease, but a state of mind.)
They teach people to accept divine fictional forces and pray, instead of doing something which would actually make a difference. A man is sick, and he needs help. Christians pray for him, whereas intelligent doctors saves his life via medical science. What's next? Oh, that's right - It's a miracle of God, despite the fact that God didn't actually do shit, and the doctors did all the dirty work.

Instead of exposing people for religious propaganda, why not teach them true values? Such as evolution and atoms which pretty much disproved the Bible and the story about God creating Earth with a poof, 6000 years ago? No, science has already proved that Earth is over 4.6 billion years old, thanks to rock samples from within Earth.

My theory about ALL religious people being close-minded, ignorant mediocres still stands. I'm aware that stating this makes me seem ignorant, but so far every religious people I have debate with, have proved this theory right.

"All religions bear traces of the fact that they arose during the intellectual immaturity of the human race before it had learned the obligations to speak the truth. Not one of them makes it the duty of its God to be truthful and understandable in his communications." Friedrich Nietzsche, German philologist and philosopher 1844 - 1900.

I have more examples which would lead people to the conclusion that Atheism is the path to go, but I'm afraid "it won't make sense" to the average religious person posting on this board.
 
Im Christian and i hate religious people who think the bible is perfect the bible has been edited many times

Athiests can be blind sometimes but i think generally the athiests know more about the "real Christianity" then christians

The Roman Catholics are to blame for corrupt pope/priests/bible editors

Religion's are fading away I think the world would be better if everyone was just athiests (even though i am christian) no more wars "In the name of GOD" no more people molesting over 100 children (except M. Jackson) but peopel need faith to keep them going It would also be fine If everyone was Christian (not catholic though.)

I don't understand soemthing about Christians people hating Athiests instead of jews (I don't hate jews or athiests) but if you believe someone is your god's son and one group of people murders your god's son wouldn't you try to kill that whole group of people?

another questions why is it that if you talk to God your religious if god talks to you your insane?

I preach Atheism because I try to fight ignorance every time I see it. In my opinion, religion is ignorance, therefore I fight it.

Call me an idealist, call me a warrior of truth, whatever. I just enjoy crushing religious zealots in arguments.
 
I also debate atheists because i see them as quite ignorant, if you think god is impossible, there being no god is impossible. If god was never there, where did it all come from, if there was always something there, it must be eternal, and from nothing comes nothing, so something always had to exist, and nothing physical can last forever, therefore, i see there are greater things at work.

You can't really generalize that nothing physical will last forever since matter can't be created or destroyed. Who's to say that everything hasn't always been, but has been present in different forms?

Because something can't come from nothing.

I don't think it impossible for there to be some sort of creating force. I just don't think that said force is the benevolent God of the Bible/Koran, or even that it's remotely intelligent.

Perhaps the universe was born of the highest plane of reality; who knows? All that I can say is that no intelligent being would desire anything but an end to its existence, as an infinite being would already have thought every possible thought, and would have no reason to exist.
 
Because something can't come from nothing.

But that doesn't mean that there was ever nothing. If there wasn't ever a time when there was nothing, then physical matter would have to last forever, since it can't be created or destroyed.
 
You do know Buddhism is one of the first religions to be born, so I wouldn't be pinpointing the other religions as "outdated"
Since its such an old religion, its like an old man. Should be euthanized.

Just to let you know those people who do the killings/bombings etc.. are extremist and these such people do NOT represent the "religion" it self, but only the way they had interpreted the book.
No religion, no extremists. Problem solved.

Have you even researched on your own religion? yet question or "approve" of the existence of others?
Anyone who isn't atheist is narrow minded.

Now I'm telling you 100% sure the "propaganda teachings" in your 9th grade history class are more or less absolutely incorrect.
Actually to the "untrained" mind that is.
Before you reduce your exterior opinions to rubble, I suggest you check who you are calling an untrained mind. Before you even go preaching about how feeble your mind is, just for standing up to religion-- don't go telling others who know that there is no religion your own viewpoint.

Now have you ever even researched on other religions? or teachings?
Anyone who does that needs to get a social life.

I highly doubt it, because I don't think you would set that time to read hundreds of pages of clear out history.
Sorry, did that junk way back when I was in grade 10. I hated it, it was like "The woman shall be your slave." Fuck religion.

Without religion, what good morals (if any) would we follow?
To disprove you, look here

Atheists are better then any religion combined. Nice try, you fail.

How would our world... our society be affected today if we had no leadership, no understanding, or no basic principles on a stable foundation.
Thanks at attempting to twist words, frail attempts go unnoticed, but I'll address this invalid point anyways.
Quote me where I said I want anarchy?

Let me remind you the bill of rights would most likely not exist without the word of "Christianity" existence.
Our freedom is based on Christianity? Oh, joy. Now I have more reasons to despise religion.

Anyway I'm not Christian, just to let you know.
Please, quit any religion you are in. If you are atheist, you are one step closer to opening your mind.

Not a funny joke.
No religion, no extremists. Problem solved.

There are alot of people that go radical for hundreds of different causes.
Anyone who isn't atheist is narrow minded.

I'm not an atheist and i'm not narrow minded. That statement sounded narrow minded.

Then don't come telling people who know there is god (so they think) there isn't. Your opinion is just as unproven as theirs. Hypocrite.
Anyone who does that needs to get a social life.

You seem to study the fact there is no god?
Sorry, did that junk way back when I was in grade 10. I hated it, it was like "The woman shall be your slave." Fuck religion.

That didn't make sense.

That was just showing your a bunch of atheists who have done good things, and there are many religious people who have done just as good things...

Freedom isn't based around religion.
Please, quit any religion you are in. If you are atheist, you are one step closer to opening your mind.
How damn narrow minded. Your saying completely reject a giant theory, and YOU will open your mind MORE, by closing your mind to hundreds of ideas.
Pfft.
 
Not a funny joke.
No one cares.

There are alot of people that go radical for hundreds of different causes.
Let me fix that for you
"Hundreds of different religious causes".

I'm not an atheist and i'm not narrow minded. That statement sounded narrow minded.
Wow, oxymoron? "Im not an atheist and not narrow minded"
Antithesis more?

Then don't come telling people who know there is god (so they think) there isn't. Your opinion is just as unproven as theirs. Hypocrite.
Are you KIDDING me?

I seem to know that fact.

That didn't make sense.
Small minds can't comprehend much.

That was just showing your a bunch of atheists who have done good things, and there are many religious people who have done just as good things...
Defeat yourself in the same sentance?
Logical, my friend, logical...

Freedom isn't based around religion.
And religion isn't based around freedom. Go read the Koran or the Old Testament.

Pfft.
You are the pinnacle of stupidity. Why don't I reject something stupid like, for example-- The Flat Earth Society.
We all know it scientifically is incorrect, because its ridiculous. I can close my mind to all the shit you manage to believe in. I'll leave my brain open to new ideas on how to save humanity, or help cure cancer... instead of learning how some pseudo-god will care for everyone after they die.
Thats just fucking retarded, and so are you.
Get a CAT scan, maybe your ignorance is the result of a tumor. Hopefully it is, so you can die a painful death you gladly deserve.

Let your "God" save you, or whatever the shit you have faith in.
 
Cstrike, you seem to have no clue as to what you are talking about. The ideals you believe in come from a false sense of security, and show no real signs of improving. You have not proven a point, simply made yourself look stupid. For one, you contradict everything you say, and yet flame others for not agreeing with your idiocy.

Please desist.

To go on and explain religion, or disprove it, is simply a waste of time. You cannot prove that somethng doesn't exist if it doesn't exist. Meaning, you feel that God does not exist, therefore you cannot prove that God does not exist without MAKING him exist. You are giving a name to that which you wish to disprove, and as such make yourself look even more like an idiot.

Furthermore, your attempt to disprove that which does not exist has undoubtedly shown your inability to argue. You try to fight, but all you can do is insult, making it seem that you are insecure in your own lifestyle and ideals. Thus, making your entire arguement, or attempt to prove anything, void.


To the topic... I believe some athiests preach as they do because they simply have a need for confirmation. If you can show an athiest solid evidence that they are wrong, unless they are insecure like Cstrike, then they will more than likely rethink all of their ideals.


The Christians who preach, and attempt to force a religion down your throat are as bad as Cstrike, (not trying to flame you, but you make a perfect example), as they are too insecure in their own beliefs, and feel that proving themselves right to another increases their own sense of faith. Letting either be right an arguement, simply gives them more reason to argue. You make them think that they are correct no matter what they do or say and that ensures that they won't be changing their opinion any time soon.


Eh, I'll let someone rebuttal or agree now...
 
I think all of you are silly for pretending to be debaters.
