Answer 1

Athiests have no other choice but to live in darkness. The Holy Spirit has not enlightened them.

Answer 2

Where to begin? Where to begin? This is a ridiculous question that is based on assumption and misinformation.

1. Ignorance? Ignorance of what? A fantasy man in the sky? Our ignorance has cured disease, sent us to the moon, and made the world a better place. We do not deal in ignorance, sir. We deal in knowledge.

2. The monotonous life? This one has grown stale. We are as full of love and life and art as any of the faithful.

3. Attaching importance to people...? Everyone is guilty of this to some degree. It is not something that is a basis of atheism by any means.

4. Wisdom and Conscience...? Again, this is based on misinformation.

5. Degeneration? What does that mean?

6. Relations? What is your evidence of this?

7. Living in unsanitary conditions? This doesn't even get a response.

All in all, you don't know what you're talking about. Take the time to get to know one or more of us and you will see that we are not so different from you.

Answer 3

I and many other atheists that I know are very happy with our creature comforts and relationships, we respect wisdom and have a conscience just like everyone else and most sincerely do NOT wish to return to primitive lifestyles........... and sweety my life is far from monotonous and with two University degree's would have to conclude that I have some intelligence, you either do not understand the word atheist or you are being an extremely judgmental person and if its the latter shame on you, what kind of christian do you think people will think you are with such a narrow minded, insulting not to sad rude attitude towards others.

Answer 4

I find your ideas interesting and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

no, wait... what the dickens are you talking about? Just because someone doesn't beleive in an all-powerful deity with the power of ultimate judgement doesn't mean they're a barbarian. it's this kind of thing that causes more hatred etc, which is against most religioius mores. get a clue.

"living in an environment where wisdom and conscience have no place", "living in unsanitary conditions", "the lifestyle of ignorance" - give me a break. please educate yourself or have a look around before spouting bigotry to the world. it's not like these qualities aren't found in deeply religious people either!

Answer 5

Ignorance. Only Christians deny science.
Monotony. Church every Sunday is not monotony
I'm Taoist, I don't attach importance to anything
Wisdom and Conscience have no place: I'm Taoist, we prize wisdom
Degeneration: Do you mean material or moral? I know more ex-convict Christians than Atheists
Relations based on interest rather than honesty: No. I don't lie, sorry
Living in unsanitary conditions: I don't know about that one buddy.

Answer 6

I do not drive too fast, even if i don't agree with the rules. I give too much change back to the girl behind the counter in the supermarket. When i find a wallet on the street, i return it to the owner without expecting a reward ,because the relief on your face is worth more to me than money. In a bar i'll talk to you, when you are standing alone. I will never jugde or disrespect you on your looks, not even on your charactre.

And i do that without any God telling me to do that

I give to charity, i seperate my garbage for a better environment. I rather put on an extra sweater, than to put up the heater. I never throw my chewing-gum on the street. Every week i buy the paper from a homeless person. I will help and support you if you're attacked by drunken guys on the street, i'll avoid the fight, but i'll never leave you alone. I help the old lady cross the street, i'll bring the crying lost little girl back to her mother.

And i do that without any God telling me to do that

I know no rules, except my own thoughts. After thinking everything through, i have to conclude that there must be 'something' to make this all happen. I've looked around and inspite of all the misery, the poorness, the crime, the hate, i don't see humans as sinners, but as people with choices. I don't think that i will be lost if i do not meditate on a mountain or pray under a cross. I don't even believe that the guy who blows himself up between a group of schoolkids will burn eternally.

And i think that without any God telling me to think that

Every person has something good inside. Sometimes on the surface, sometimes deep hidden inside. I hope that the God they all talk about, is not the guy with the beard sitting on a cloud. The God i have faith in, is just a metaphore. A feeling. A sence of all the goodness inside the people. Nothing more than that. And more clear: nothing less than that. The goodness in our heart is the most important thing we have. My God has an extra 'O'...Good.

And i am good, without any God telling me that

Good has no need for symbols. No cross, no boring books, no big fat guy, no cow, no buildings with colored glass windows. Good is everywhere and is eternal. There is no need to pray for something good, because it will always be there. There is also no need to pray to end something bad, because the bad will also always be there. Sure there are bad people. These people are to dumb to understand the good. Goodness, kindness can relieve you. Badness only creates more badness. We can never beat the badness. A bad guy with a gun can only be beaten by a good guy with a gun. But a good guy doesn't use a gun.

And even if the Good will always loose, I'll always try to be Good.

Everything has its time, and its place. In our sadness, in our anger, in our happyness, in our love we can see our humanity. These things make us to be the people we are, they shape us, they teach us, they make us really feel. And in every deep misery, there is always a hidden hope, cause we all know anything can always be done differently. This earth is our playground, to feel, to laugh, to cry, to love and to live.

And i live. And that's good.

Answer 7

What???

Were do you get this stuff?

I thought you were a little wacko before. Now we all know you don't have a clue. Are you even capable of rational discussion?

One thing is apparent, your religion has brought you no personal fulfillment or peace.

I sometimes wonder if you are really a person who is anti-Islam, pretending to be a Muslim just so you can turn people away from it, by showing them only a fool would think the way you do.

Answer 8

Luke 18:9-14 (English Standard Version)

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 He [Jesus] also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10" Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Answer 9

Well in all fairness not only atheist live this type of lifestyle. There is some religious people that do these things too. It is definietley not good lifestyles.

Answer 10

I am atheist and I'm not really like that at all.
I turned atheist because my mom wanted me in Christianity so badly.
And to me i thought the bible was ridiculous because C'on a lady can't have a baby without having intercourse, pfft!

Some of us are like that because something draged us out of the intrest of god.

I myself am a good person.
I help my friends.
I don't ignour my life at all, i acualy have alot of inportance what can happen to my life.

were normal people.

Answer 11

I happen to be married to an atheist and she is none of that.

Blanket statements have a tendancy to bite one on the asss. I think you have some moralistic axe to grind.

People who have a faith system can be just as big an adherent to this list of yours as those who do not.
