Answer 1

Do your parents and christian family members know that you are bashing their beliefs on the computer? It's obvious that you are intimidated and insecure about your beliefs because you continually looking for those to agree with you and you are only getting yourself suspended or violations sent to your email account. THINK ABOUT IT.

Shalom

Answer 2

1) God is not imaginary
2) We do not have imaginary love
3) Occam's razor shaves the closest. Physicists and other such scientists admit there is more order to the universe than they can adequately explain with science. The greatest scientists of all time also believed in God
4) We don't need a fairy tale book to tell us it is wrong to murder. But, we do need the Bible - Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
5) We are not intimidated into doing that which is right. We do that which is right because it is right.
6) We don't have an imaginary life after leaving this world of corruption.

Why don't athiests need these things?

Answer 3

yes we do. We have the ability to reason beyond the inherited mental defense mechanism that is responsible for most people's belief in a god of some kind. It has been discovered that the belief in a diety who protects and brings you to a happy home when you die, is actually a natural reaction in our brains, to the knowledge that we will all die someday, and any day. This belief acts as a buffer for anxiety and depression that many would feel if it was proven god did not exist. And, we as atheists, have either reasoned above and beyond our natural instincts, or have been born without this mechanism in our brains, like a mutant with a special power to see through B.S.. So, yes, I guess we are kinda special. And, now that I know these things, I cannot in good conscience, try to force the mental security blankets away from those who obviously need it.

Answer 4

Yes...Atheist have a special ability to ignore the facts and play around (alone) in their minds.
1. Obviously your imaginary friend is yourself because you actually believe everything you say.
2. You need love...lots of it. I couldn't imagine how unloved you feel right now. You must be have a void.
3. Your simple explanation is believing that their is no God...how simple-minded can that be!
4.The Bible is Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth! And you know its wrong to murder because its an innate characteristic given to and also because your to scared to go to jail.
5. Being a Christian is a choice. Either you choose higher ground or you can choose to sink and drown.
6. It must be hard knowing that as Christians we have more to look forward to...

You and the Atheist you know are just "fine" without these things because you know of nothing better. I'll pray that God shows you...soon...
However it's nice that you voice your opinion because it shows that you are willing to recieve help.
God Bless !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

I disagree, the God creation idea is complex, that it was an accident to me is the more simple explanation. In science the simpler explanation when both have the same evidence essentially the simpler is prefered.

This idea of a complex all loving all knowing God is abusrd and I prefer the simpler explanation, natural causes. There is also the part about lack of evidence of a supernatural cause to the start of the universe, hence the simpler explanation, natural causes.

Answer 6

I am sorry that you do not feel the need to have these things in your life. I do not need them I want them. I love knowing that I have a Father in Heaven who has prepared a place for me. Gods explanation of the universe is not complicated it is quite easy to understand if one reads the entire section on it instead of misquoting by uses pieces and bits here and there. These awesome tjhings fullfill our lives and help to make us complete of our own free will. Why if you do not need these things, do you care why we need or want them. Is there unanswered questions about God for you. Keep going the way you are going and hopefully you will find out why first hand.

Answer 7

Yes we have special abilities. Just like mutants we develop skills after puberty. Me, personally i developped XRay vision to allow me to see through anything. I also developped a second phallus which will allow me in the future to become the best pornstar there is in the business.

Oh and im not an atheist, i just dont believe in the way things are told and religions forced upon people.

Answer 8

You're bing just as bad as the religious zealots that bash atheism. I happen to be Christian but I think everyone should believe as they wish, and RESPECT the beliefs of others even while you may not agree with them. I know that many Christians are the exact opposite of that, but don't let the bad crowd influence your reaction towards the whole group.

Wow Fatherbobmarley needs to calm down, I don't see any mention of killing anyone else (just the opposite actually!) and I really don't see anything about terrorism and racism. Someone is off the meds again....

Answer 9

7. I can give myself goosebumps at will

I suspect these "abilities" are inherent in most theists as well, they just don't know it because they are infected with a mental virus that lies to them claiming otherwise. I particularly love number 4 on your list. How many times have you heard a theist claim that without god everyone would go around killing and creating complete chaos? They never bother to see if that's how people without god actually behave, inspite of nonbelievers (atheist+agnostic) representing almost 20% of the population in the US, and even higher in other places.

Answer 10

In general they're programmed to believe that stuff from an early age, and most of them never get out of it, and pass it onto they're kids (and with genetics why should the kids know any better...)

You come across like you hate god more than dont believe in him though. Its pretty wierd how you are so agressive, i know it can be annoying that they seem so stupid - i'm just happy i'm not them.

And why do you spell god with a capital?

Answer 11

Excuse me!!! Happiness Stan, Boris the Spider (who knows these things), Happy Jack and Renee (the dockers delight) believe everyone should have an imaginary friend, or two, maybe even four.
