What do you theists think of us atheists?

Question

Because we think you have been blinded from the truth by people trying to keep you under control and you should look at all the evidence and see there is no god.

Answer 1

I just think they haven't experienced anything or noticed yet that God does exist, I think in time they'll fine him, or at least learn to respect the ones that have found him, I hope. I wish everyone was just more tolerant in this world, and listen to and try to respect other's beliefs.

Answer 2

I think spirituality is something deeply personal, and nobody can really order somebody what to believe. I also believe everyone is entitled to respect for their belief.

However I will say that atheism in the form of active rejection of the notion of a divinity is an affirmation of a faith in the non-existence of God. As much as I can prove to you that God exists, you can't prove that God doesn't exist either, so we're on par.

You say that we have been blinded from the truth by people, and in many ways that is true. Throughout history the faithful have been misguided or otherwise taken advantage of unscrupulous religious leaders. As sad as this is, that doesn't undermine the fundamental truth in the belief of the faithful.

What evidence should I look to see that there is no God? I can't point you to any evidence that there is a God, but suppose I could (hypothetically). Imagine I could bring one piece of evidence that prove the existence of God. How would that change you? what will you do then?

Answer 3

If I had one solitary piece of hard evidence that god existed that would probably be enough. There isn't.

Theists try to say that a belief in god is the same as a non-belief in god. I don't actually think this is true. Proving a negative is not the same as proving a positive.

How do I go about proving something does not exist?
I have to look and go everywhere I humanly can till I find it, whether this be physically, mentally or even 'spiritually'. All the time I look and don't find it, it is probably statistically less chance of god existing, but no actual proof till I cover everything. I think you will agree for limitied humans this is quite impossible in our universe.

How do I go about proving something does exist?
I only have to look till I find it.

So there is a entirety of difference in the two questions, one needs solitary proof, the other needs practically infinite proof. But you always still have the problem of what constitutes proof? Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.

Personally I think people make the best choices they can given the upbringing, experience, knowledge, etc that they had. I don't think the control or blinding parts you speak of are so intentioned as the words suggest. I think the original speakers of religion where probably just as mistaken as their followers.

Please note as well that he only said he thinks theists are wrong, this is what makes us atheists.

Everyone has the freedom to speak about their beliefs, and we should all respect our differences that goes without saying, I hope.

Answer 4

You asked for an opinion.
I think that your knowledge has blinded you to the fact that there has to be a God to have created everything. Otherwise the universe couldn't exist. As I tell the evolutionists, 'stuff' had to start somewhere.
I realize some of the bibles materials got mixed with other books, but it is in similarity only. The inspiration is still correct and present for us to use in daily life.
Much of the misunderstandings come from people trying to read it like a novel. They try to find continuity without proper understanding of how to do it.
There are threads interlinking texts through out the bible. You just need an open mind to follow them.
Fortunately when you die you will be resurrected and your thinking will be changed in your new temporary life. Then after an appropriate period you will be judged and either continue on the earth or perish forever. Hopefully we can be friends then, forever.

Answer 5

We couldn't careless of what u think of us because we Know you are Blinded from the Truth by Satan who is controlling you and you should look at All the evidence and See there Is a GOD. You,atheists, wonder why some Christians call atheists evil? This is an example.

Answer 6

Hi Tom, I am a theist. I highly respect atheists. Many people that are atheists are extremely nice, polite people, who allow others the right to believe as they wish.

Along with that respect, I also believe atheists are professed atheists, but not completely atheists. I only say this because I believe that what God says is true, because God cannot lie. In the Bible there is a powerful verse which reads-" God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." Romans 12:3. So the Bible clearly teaches that even atheists have a measure of faith in God.

It also contains a decisive statement about those who say in their heart that there is no God-"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Psalm 14:1

Now Tom, I would never call anyone a fool. I am just letting you know what the Bible says. The Bible also speaks about many Christians being fools as well, because they claim to Follow God, but they deny Him by painting God with Satan's wicked attributes, and with this strange eternally burning lake of fire (which isn't recorded in the Bible), and other attributes that causes honest, educated, practical people to turn away from the Creator of the universe.

I believe many people are atheists because of the belief that God will punish sinners for eternity. But the Bible doesn't teach that. Those who reject Christ eternally will be destroyed, and sin and sinners who don't repent will be eternally lost, and they will cease to exist, so they won't be burning forever and ever. Malachi 4:1

By the way, you wouldn't question that the watch on your wrist is designed by someone would you? You wouldn't for a moment accept that idea that it just happened would you?

What about the human body, trees, animals, the solar system, galaxies, the universe. All has incredible design, far superior to any invention of man, far more complex and incomprehensible. There must be a Creator God.

Answer 7

i have in no way had one attempt to remodel me. i comprehend in undemanding words a pair human beings IRL who're atheists (i'd comprehend more effective, yet do not comprehend they're). Neither of both i comprehend have ever suggested I shouldn't remember on God, or that I wasn't being logical, etc. (seems it really is frequently the reasoning - the following a minimum of). both one in each of those human beings comprehend i'm rather wise and that i also do not discuss my beliefs to them. I easily have requested one in each of them about Dante's Inferno and the Seven deadly Sins. He has an IQ of about one hundred seventy 5 or so- kinda premier me to believe he ought to have some information in regards to the problem only from a literary element of view. (he did not). that is the nearest i have come to having a communicate with him that had any non secular tone to it. I easily understand the atheists the following with their arguments. i am going to work out the validity in what they say, yet I have my own causes for last a theist. i have given a honest quantity of interest on the problem of why some human beings believe and some do not. i have not got here across an fantastically proper or definitive answer. My concentration in existence isn't somebody else's beliefs or lack thereof in any case. I easily have more effective significant activities, like shelter my own existence. i attempt to appreciate human beings and want they do an same. i assume maximum listed less than are influenced with the help of their own information, in simple terms as i'm- in simple terms as all each body is.

Answer 8

That's funny, we think the same about you. However, you are blinded to the fact that there IS a God.

People can have their beliefs and live peaceably together. What I don't like is when people try to force their beliefs on me. You see more atheism trying to force their beliefs on society than you see Christianity trying to.

A perfect example is that you are trying to remove all references of God from public forums. If I want to say merry Christmas in a school, I should be allowed to without having 10,000 athiests screaming "seperation of church and state". What they are really saying is they are insecure in their beliefs so much that any mention of God frightens them.

It's funny how atheists are scared of something they don't believe in.

Answer 9

You have the right to believe as you wish. As "theists" we try to live our lives as an example that others might want to follow.

We believe in a Supreme Being.

Your perception of Truth and our perception of Truth are diametrically opposed but we can't force you to change your mind nor would we try, for that would be wrong.

Instead we leave that to Islamists...From the Koran: "Strike down the non-believer..." In other words, "If he doesn't believe in God; kill him!"

footnote: "Separation of Church and State", first uttered by Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. A life-long Democrat, a member of the Ku Klux Klan and he hated Catholics.

Answer 10

Look, generally I have no problems with atheists. Most of them are good people and we get along great. I do, however, have problems with people like you who judge me without ever knowing me. Why do you suppose I believe anything blindly or that I mindlessly submit to other people's control? Although I can't prove that God exists, I still believe in him. Of course, you can't prove that he doesn't either, so you're no better than I am. Just a whole lot more bigotted.

Answer 11

How could not open your heart? Blind faith is the only way to find your way to Gods. Look at all the good that Blind faith has done:

Peoples Temple (Jonestown)
Heavens Gate (Hale Bop)
Manson Family
Aum Shinrikyo
Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God
Davidians
