That actually addresses the idea of the existance of God rather than attacking evolution or communism or selfishness or some other idea that you associate with atheism?

I'm wondering, since most I see from Christians about atheism is some claim like 'atheists have no hope' or 'atheists refuse to see God' or some other such bunk.

Can anyone give a good argument as to why you think atheism --the lack of belief in God(s)--is wrong?

Comments from atheists welcome too :)

My religion learns me i should love all but sometimes it's very hard.Do you sometimes find it hard to love strangers and all people or do you just hate everyone around you?

I have no problem with going to church on Saturday. So that isn't a false belief. Of course, I have no problem with going to church on any day.

I have gone WAY out of my way this morning in my questions to ask BOTH theists and atheists to tell us the basis for their beliefs.

Oh, I have an opinion, but I have attempted to formulate neutral questions. And I think I achieved that.


Now that I've been flamed by people for doing nothing more than asking unbiased questions, I'm about done with neutrality.



Has anyone else noticed that when I asked questions that concerned people explaining the basis for their beliefs, that only christians* ended up getting very hostile?

No atheist attacked me for asking them why they don't believe in god.
But the christians attacked me for asking them why they do.


If you truly have faith and confidence in your own position, why would you get hostile with someone when all they are doing is asking you to tell them about the basis of your position?????



*disclaimer: not ALL christians did this. Some seemed happy to discuss their faith.

Sometimes I wonder where is my little fuzzy baby, what is he up to and will I regret it later. Sometimes, when he is with me and keeping me company like a good little buddy. He gets playful in a kitty cat way, and then there is that look in his eyes - the look of trouble.
Is it worrysome or should I not be concerned about it, cats will be cats - right?

How comfertable are you beleiving the whole beleive-in-Jezus/salvation/blabla, knowing that hundreds of millions of people in the past where killed for not taking on the those very beleifs?

Or do most Christians/you blot out those nasty occernces from their religious perspective of the history of the world?

There is no evedance of any form that I have been able to find that suggest that any BIBLICAL SCOLARES have said that their version is the ONLY true version of the bible. In addation to this statement/question I have found Very evident changes to many of the verses throughout their "translation" Which seem to only fit THEIR doctrine. Also why do the authers of the JW's "translation" wish to remain ANNONYMOS?

I'm sure I'll get some nasty replies about this, but: I am an atheist, and fully believe in evolution, which is obviously a far more proven theory than a god creating heaven and Earth. So, why do people believe in god? I went to church when I was younger, and feel that it was pretty worthless. With all of the science out there, how do people believe that god exists? A lot of people that believe in god are just as, if not more immoral that people that don't. Plenty of people that believe in god also cheat on their spouse, lie, steal, etc...

what is wrong with you people?? you seriously think if you dont believe in god or jesus your going to hell? think again your lives are based on your works on this earth not on being forgiven or following christ around. i believe in god and i am not even a christian and i know that i am going to heaven for i have repaid my sins in full and my works in full for i have spoken to god too and i have even listened to the world around me. if christians really think this way then i feel sorry for you all and as my father once said "never hate anyone just pity them for they will have there day of justice" i have to agree with that statement. if you really want to be christ- like then follow your own beliefs and do not try to get others to convert to your beliefs....

i am a pantheist and i know my facts and i am not a ignorant person just someone who is standing up for his rights as a being of earth

Okay, in Job Satan tells God that Job is only faithful to him because God gives him so much. So why does God start ruining Job's life just to prove a point to Satan? Why should he care what Satan says? This question has been troubling me and I bet somebody here has an answer for me.

Whats the difference between Evolution and mutation?

After posting a question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsxhqpV.D9V_O1pQHu62fB7sy6IX?qid=20060831091406AACZ6UU

I got a few responses that seperated evolution from mutation. Personally I dont see any difference. Both accour so that the organism has a better chance at survival.

Also got a few responses mentioning micro-evolution! In order for there to be micro-evolution there would also have to be macro-evolution, otherwise the micro part would just be redundant. It would be like having an "authors preffered version" of a book without having a regular version of the book.

So 3 questions really.
1. Whats the difference between mutation and evolution?
2. How can there be micro-evolution without macro-evolution?
3. what do you call it when a virus changes itself to overcome obstaciles and increase its chances for survival?

If you don't believe in God that's fine (He still luv's you anyway), people are entitled to their own opinion and God isn't forcing you to believe in him. But for me, reading post from people who have something against God only strengthen my faith because it makes realize what a treasure I have in Christ. And you know what the weird thing is? Jesus said this would happen... I know it's the beatitudes when he said "blessed are you how are persecuted from My name sake." So fellow believers keep ure head up, Jesus warned us about this anyway. :)

Tweed, Blackface or Marshall?

What would god play?

Or

If you’re an atheist or agnostic, what would a hypothetical god hypothetically play?

Don’t even think about telling me that god is a drummer. Oh please…

Disclaimer: I'm an agnostic

Wouldn't you want to learn about the REAL Jesus, not some book that was translated and mistakes were made. Wouldn't it be about learning about what he might have really said, and not what some st jerome translated in 400AD in rome because he was thought to be the "smart" one, or cause some king in 1611 said sure go with it?

Wouldn't your love of him who changed your life not be dependent on words on one page in one verse, but the history behind how that verse got to be in front of you in English?

One of the reasons I am an agnostic, is in my own spiritual journey, I learned of the translation errors.

The message of love humanity is clear, but wouldn't you want to try and learn and become familiar with why what it is is in the modern English Bible? Even if it wasn't in the oldest copies of the original?

There is no proof besides the bible, which is a book that has been edited hundreds of times by the church (which by the way makes money from all the people who believe in God) What do u guys think?

In cases where you are saving it, you are clearly lending it to them, in cases where it goes in and comes back out, they are making money on the transactions.

Why the craze of banks?!

I've noticed this morning that the deeper a question gets, the less likely that someone will answer it.

It seems like everyone wants to tell everyone ELSE what they should believe, but if you ask people to really think deeply about the basis of their own beliefs, ... well... you get few answers (more specifically, a lot of NON-answers)


And don't complain that it has anything to do with biased questions or I've been unfair to one side or the other. I think I've been remarkably neutral in my questions.


I credit those of you who (theists, atheists, AND agnostics) provided some well-thought out responses.

to the rest:
Why are you here, if you're not interested in questions and answers about religion and spirituality?


(this will be my last question for a while due to the intrusions of real life!)
