Did another Atheist help you come to the conclusion that Gods are not real or did you come to the realization on your own?

I am an Atheist myself but I am just wondering.

it doesn't necessarily have to be dust/dirt but whichever method that you believe how living beings, such as humans/animals + now extinct dinosaurs first came from, then do you believe that old or new species will someday, suddenly re(evolve) or resurrect from the method that which you believe again? do you believe it is possible or not? why? if not, what is your personal beliefs/standpoints regarding where/how the very first living beings came from? explain in your own words.thanks.

"We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out."
Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered in Berlin, 24 October 1933

Hitler stated: "Christ was the greatest early fighter in the battle against the world enemy, the Jews . . . The work that Christ started but could not finish, I--Adolf Hitler--will conclude."

"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., p. 65, New York: Mariner Books, 1999

"Liberalism is a disease of the mind that weakens and corrupts human beings" - Adolf Hitler, 1939

Many times Althaus explained to Christians his preference for the Third Reich over the former Weimar Republic. “We Christians know,” he stated, “that we are bound by God’s will to the promotion of National Socialism, so that all members of the people will be ready for service and sacrifice.” (“Kirche and Staat,” p. 29)

Paul Althaus, a Lutheran theologian of renown in Germany, warmly greeted the rise of Hitler. He wrote that, “The Protestant churches have greeted the political turning point as a gift and miracle of God”.. (“Die deutsche Stunde der Kirche,” p.5)

In a speech to Polish Catholics, Hitler declared: “I as a German Catholic, ask only what is permitted to Polish Catholics. To be antisemitic is not to be un-Catholic. The Church used every weapon against the Jews, even the Inquisition. Christ himself was a pioneer in the fight against Judaism.” (ibid, p. 146)

At a Church conference, Hitler affirmed that the Catholic Church has always regarded Jews as evildoers and had banished them into ghettos. He (Hitler) is only doing what the Church had been doing for fifteen hundred years.. (ibid, p. 79)

“I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther


"God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East." --- G.W. Bush , Commander in Chief of Abu Ghraib torture

I mean, I am not attacking anybody here. I'm just saying that I find life more pleasant when I am able to keep a good attitude and not try to argue or get angry over someone else's opinion. I believe that God loves atheist! And I believe he wants them to make it as much as me! So; I don't want to totally destroy an oportunity to at least be kind to them! And to show them that I am doing the best I can to be a caring person. They are people! I mean, why should I be disrespectful or show them my bad side all the time? I find it rather arrogant to constantly see another person as an opponent. Your true opponent is Satan! I have questioned myself at times. Thinking: "why did I say that?" I mean it does nothing but increase hostility towards me! Besides, My goal in life is to be an honest true child of God! And a true child of God loves his enemies! To say an Athiest cannot find heaven is a lie! Anyone who chooses to repent and find God is welcome to his kingdom!

no one can say Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Spirit

so does this mean that it is imposible for someone to have faith or believe Jesus without the Holy Spirit?

okay do I really need to believe everything in the bible? I will admit that it does make sense to me that a higher power made the world and everything, but a lot of things in the bible just dont make sense. so do I really need to believe all that? or can I just believe theres a higher power? Or is god just that picky to where he wants me to worship him a certain way?

I ask, because this statement among others was made in answer to a recent question about what Catholics believe:

"Catholics believe in God and Jesus but they don't have a personal relationship with Him."

If the key word here is "personal", then I assume that no one is really able to evaluate, critique, describe, define, grade, or otherwise judge such a relationship ... except those who are party to it. That would be Jesus and, in this particular case, me.

But for the sake of some fundamentalists who are obviously concerned for us on this score, would any other Catholics who know Jesus on a personal basis care to weigh in?

Of course, others are welcome to the two points as well ...

I grew up as a baptist fundamentalist. Some on R&S are accussing fundies for being close minded and ect. I am not saying I am agreeing with all the fundies. Some are ignorant and unneccessarilly blatant and "unloving" in their questions and answers.

Why are we stereotyped this way then?

Personnally I only believe what the Bible says. Does this make me a close-minded Christian?

Romans 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I see it like this: If God did not want certain animals to be here (Such as Lions, Tigers, Cougars, Bears, Wolves, ect.) He would not have created them! I am strongly against cruelty or killing animals unless you are gonna eat that animal, or you are protecting yourself and your family! I do not believe it is right for anyone to go out and kill the wonderful creatures that God created for no reason! I mean like making a bear rug in your home or having all of these trophies on your wall! I believe it would not be right to wipe out an animal to the point of extinction. If God instructed Noah to bring Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, Bears ect. on the Ark, then that tells me God wanted those animals to be here! If not, he would have told Noah to just let them drown! I know some Christians who think wolves are evil! What? Jesus spoke in parables! He was referring to "men" when he said "wolves in sheeps clothing" Because men can be like animals! But all animals are already forgiven!
