I am atheist, read this...and respond...?

Question

This is why, i am athesit. I dont believe in all that crap, because it limits personal freedom, and if you think about it, none of it makes sense. Even if there is a god, hes a prick, for letting all this bad **** happen, if he is all mighty and powerful, then why doesnt he just make the world a utopia, and why even have us put on the planet? Why not just start us off in his so called "heaven?"

..because if our purpose is just to die, then why start us off dead?

...and how can you feel something that doesnt exist physically? Explain, i am just curious.

...and i believe its just something for the people in power to keep the rest of us in line, to establish some sort of order, as well as make people feel comfortable with something they do not understand, which is death.

...and why do only some people get "cured" of diseases, but then there are millions who die from them...

Answer 1

The first version of the matrix was a utopia, you humans rejected it. Your mind needs suffering.

Answer 2

you have the right to be whatever religion you want; but what gives you the right to bad mouth God you gave you life, yo parents life, me life and every other person in this world life? If there wasn't a God then we wouldn't be here today, tomorrow or the next ten years. The world is experiencing all these disasters, simply because of the way we live; we have become of the world instead of of this world; we are excepting homosexual lifestyles, war, rape, murder, children going hungry, fornication, and all the other abominations God has commanded us not to do. Don't think that God is letting these things happen for no reason; society asked for God to be taken out of the schools, work and some homes and now we want God to spare are lives, families and possessions. Why? what have we done for him? I know that I sin and you too almost daily without thinking and I feel that if we want God's help then we need to help him; by spreading the word, going to church, confessing with our mouths he is God and follow his rules.

I'm working on my rules, will you do the same?

Answer 3

that is likewise a incontrovertible reality that something (or remember) won't be able to spring forth from no longer something, hence, it had to be created by an outdoors pressure or an outdoors reason that deliver about this result. Your rivalry that God isn't wanting a author by using the indisputable fact that is outdoors this actual universe is exciting, notwithstanding it has no foundation in something i'd call truth. I admit that i do not comprehend the answer to absolute questions, yet searching at this international, i'd say that if a God certainly did create all of it, he lost activity some time previous. If no longer, He has an unusual way of showing it. even as i became in college, genuinely one of my math professors also happened to be a Catholic priest. after I expressed my doubts about the existence of something like "God", he stated that I start up a talk with Him, and through that talk i'd come to believe. this can be real, yet i comprehend sufficient about human nature that many stuff that are believed, and held with a pastime, are purely no longer real. Examples are superstition, prejudice and patriotism, purely to call some. So, we non-believers have slightly a quandary, a minimum of from a Christian attitude. To believe, we'd want to settle for something this is opposite to what we believe is the needed nature of truth. I, for one, am no longer keen to attempt this

Answer 4

Do you notice how people are merely stating their beliefs while offering no proof that they have any basis in reality? This is the only thing a theist can do. They have no facts, no evidence, nothing that can be tested, researched, examined, and verified. Their beliefs make so little sense that they are not even trying to explain them.

You have a very good point: If God's purpose is to get everyone to heaven, then why didn't he simply create us all there in the first place? Oh, yeah, God wanted us to have "free will" to choose to be in heaven. But he doesn't give us a choice, does he? His "choices" are: eternal bliss with him, or eternal torture in hell. This is like a robber saying, "You can give me all your money, or I can kill you." What kind of a choice is that?? Of course you'll give him the money! It's called COERCION! This is what God is doing. He's making the 2nd choice so terrifying that, in effect, you are forced to choose heaven whether you want it or not, just as the robber forces you to hand over all your money. In short, you have no freedom, you are doing what God is making you do. Which brings us back to why God didn't simply put everybody in heaven to begin with, if he was only going to force them to go there anyway.

Fortunately, I have freed myself from the bondage of such idiotic and oppressive beliefs. That, my friend, is TRUE "free will"--to simply reject all of it as fantasy.

Answer 5

I am agnostic, I don't say "(a god/higher power) does not exist" because I have no proof. I also don't say "(a god/higher power) DOES exist" because... I have no proof.

I live life day by day, through self-exploration, learning, and trying to do what is "Right" based on the law of Live, and Let Live.

To each his own, everyone has their beliefs. I do not like having anyone judge me or discriminate against me based on my beliefs, so I strive to show others the same respect, even if they don't show it to me (aka, "Killin' em with kindness").

Alot of athiests seem to focus primarily on disbanding Christianity, let alone focusing on any other religion. I see Christianity as a sibling-religion to all the rest of them. It has a deigned "higher power" just like the rest of them, it has "rules" about how people should conduct themselves (whether or not it's right is debatable), and it has "repercussions" for "right and wrong". There is also the afterlife factor, also prevalent in MANY religions...

All religions have a single quality that is unchangeable.

That is, a common thread of belief that binds people of the same religion together, and unites them against all the others.

Answer 6

First of all God gave us free will and all of the bad stuff that is happening on earth is because as humans we chose to excersize our free will. If he was to make the earth a eutopia then none of us would have real personalities. There wouldn't ever be any bad to show us how nice the good is. He didn't start us out in heaven because he already has angels there and as for the why are we here anyway; I can't really answer that one. All I can tell you is that God has his own reason for creating us and none of his reasons were CRAP!!!!

Answer 7

This was all God's plan all along. We had paradise here on earth,but that serpent tempted man and here we are today.

We cannot blame him for everything bad that happens in the world, we have to take responsibility...we are the blame!! God created man and woman with free choice;either we serve the Lord or Satan every choice has a consequence. Adam and Eve disobeyed God back in the garden,so thru his sin and seed we are all unclean in the sight of the Lord. We all are born with sin of Adam.

Romans 3:10
As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one.

John 5:24
I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

Answer 8

from an atheist too--- none of it makes senses. It doesnt make sense that there is a God, but it doesnt make sense that there isnt.

the ultimate question that we must answer is not the big "is there a God?"-- I feel certain that if there is a God, God is quite able to proof God's existence without human assistance. But what a secular humanist like myself (or even a christian humanist too) looks at is our own life, and how we relate to the natural and social world around us.

God takes care of God. But only humans can take care of each other. Don't waste time on stories (like theology) that divide you from your fellow travelers.

Answer 9

James,

I don't believe in limitations, especially with your soul and desires.
Making this world a Utopia though will have no benefit for us. How do you experience purely one thing and learn from it, grow from it?
THIS can be anything YOU want. Even Utopia, but it's in your spirit, your soul, you don't need to see it here in the materials.

I know there will be atleast 18 ppl who will comdemn you for saying what you have said (The religious ones). I agree, no need to belittle others for their choices, but they also don't sound very much in bliss do they?

If you were touched by the "holy light", you wouldn't *****, you'd accept and Love, that goes for all of you.


Oh, and there's no such thing as bad stuff until there's judgement.

Answer 10

Strange thing and incomprehesible to humans.

When we make something, it is made only to serve us. We do not make it out of love.

God made us out of love (yes, even before we were). He wanted to share existence. So he gave it to us.

He could easily have programmed us so that we could only love and help our neighbors. We might have been incapable of murder, theft, war, treachery etc. It would have been a wonderful world. But the definition of such a pre-programmed creature is "robot"

And robots were not his plan. To share existence we had to have what he had.........free will. Then he gave us the rules for living in Utopia and called them the Ten Commandments.

But not all of us were willing to do what it took to achieve Utopia (there's that free will thing). So we're stuck with putting up with all their ****.

Nor in life does God intervene with free will. Kill someone, and no lightning bolt will strike you dead. Instead, he gives us enough rope to hang ourselves. Then he waits until we die. Those who chose not to live in Utopia will get their wish. Those who, through their actions, chose to live in Utopia will also get their wish.

Everybody wins !!

Answer 11

What good would we be to God if we got to leave life in utopia and we all got to go to heaven? Why wast time on us at all then? Why even make man?
God give hard times/test so that we can show love for hem. With God one can overcome all things.
