I don't fully understand atheists as I have never actually thought that way. I am a Christian, though only for the last 7 years of my life. I spent the first 27 believing in "a god" but not The God (if you know what I mean). Anyway, I was wodnering...
If an atheist doesn't believe in God and doesn't believe in Heaven or Hell, then why does it matter to them if others do believe? Meaning, why would it matter if somebody was "lying" to you? Since it is of no importance to you anyway, couldn't you just say "sure, whatever... good luck with that" and move on? Why the debate? It seems like many are trying to "convert" people to think the way they do but I can't figure out why. I mean, if there is no heaven or God, then are we not already both headed to the same place and on the same page? Or is there some great reason to become atheist that I am unaware of? I hope you don't take this wrong... I just don't get it!
Is it for debate? Is it for your faith? Why ask and answer?
