I am not sure what you mean by believing in a skydaddy like Atheist. I have no believe in an atheist. I believe in God and Jesus Christ. Please do not feel sorry for me I do not judge you , so why do you judge me. you are free to believe what you want to believe and that is a God given right. He would that none would perish at the time of tribulation but knows that many will becuase He gave them the freedom of choice. So He loves us all Have a good day .

i don't have a undertaking. You do, and that's ok. Or, in line with danger you're reliable adequate to get by your day with none style of perception equipment. even though. the element i'm attempting to make is that in case you hadn't a undertaking, you does not be in seek of what issues believers have. all human beings has issues, religiousity does not erase that. all of us who might inform you that all and sundry your earthly cares might vanish upon perception is out of their suggestions. each and all the full issues that happen, and the undesirable, ensue to instruct you, to no longer reward or punish you. So this Skydaddy of yours, does his finger element down on the loads to boot? as quickly as you spot that God,dess is interior each and every thing around you (no longer in basic terms in some lofty place interior the sky), it is a splash no longer trouble-free to forget approximately approximately. What are you lacking? in spite of the undeniable fact that it is all good, see you later as you are able to refrain from being so militant on your evaluations approximately how satisfied Atheists are. I particularly wasn't. some may be; you do no longer look too jubilant your self. All techniques are counsel on a thank you to benefit; i think you have gaining awareness of to do interior the lifeless of night. *Smiles, because of the fact my prevalent end-word will spark derisive laughter out of you. you does not elect my reward besides, might you?*

Yes, they are slaves of a fairy tale. Yes, it's depressing that so many people could fervently believe is something so patently silly. However, I'm willing to let them cling to it as long as it makes them happy and keeps them out of trouble.
What alarms me more than their belief in Big Daddy is the conviction by many that the eternal reward/punishment system is the ONLY basis for morality. As if an atheist's ethics are based entirely on self-interest or passing fancy. Of course this is absurd. Systems of reward and punishment are for training children; moral and intellectual maturity requires taking responsibility for your actions because you genuinely care about their impact; not in order to get rewards or avoid punishment.
The fact that many theists can't even get their heads around this concept really worries me, because eventually there will be enough scientific evidence to convince anyone with an IQ above 17 that God is as real as Santa Claus. When this happens, these "moral" theists will have no reason for behaving morally, since by their own assertion there's no point in being good unless you believe in God. So millions of formerly law-abiding citizens will presumably start rampaging, looting, pillaging, raping, murdering, and doing whatever the hell they feel like now that there's no eternal punishment hanging over their heads.
I'd just as soon they stuck with their archaic fairy tales for as long as possible.

You are entitled to your beliefs and I'm entitled to mine. If you choose to believe that your Creator is simply a fairy tale or myth, I can accept that. I don't agree with you, but I can accept it as your choice. Who says we have to be the same? The world would be a pretty boring place if we were all exactly alike. You have no need to feel bad for me. I have a great life with a kind and supporting family. I have fun worshiping and praising my Lord. I love life.

If we're slaves of a fairy tale, then why are there billions of followers today? Why do we risk our lives every day to tell people like you and people who have never heard about Christ? Why do we feel fulfilled when we do the stuff we do? Are you aware that you make up 3.8% of the world while we make up 32% of the world. Answer these questions, because I want to keep talking to you. You will not remove me from my relationship with Christ.

Many atheists are not atheists because they are free-thinkers: they are just rebelling against their parents or their childhood religion. Same with many religious people: they change religion because they get to the age of reason (usually teens) and realize the religion now in their brain does not make sense. So rather than realizing it doesnt make sense because it is their childhood understanding of something greater, they dump it or change to another one. This is not free-thinking: this is tunnel-thinking. Its very hard to see beyond sometimes because even the walls of the tunnel are painted pretty.
But just like some atheists are indeed free-thinkers, so are some religous people, who do not settle into a comforable, effortless belief system, but now have a process in place to challenge common beliefs, even their own currently accepted beliefs.
When this is the case, the pursuit of knowledge and discussion with others is no longer limited to ones which already confirm what you already believe. Sources of information which disagree with your standpoint are not then see as irrelevant or just 'funny'. The entire worlds religious writings, philosophies, histories, science: all of it can be challenging and interesting.

You might be completely right about my beliefs in God. It may be all a fairy tale and when we die it just goes black with nothingness. That is absolutely possible. But, given that salvation is a gift freely given except for your belief that Jesus Christ is the Son God and died for our sin on the cross, what if I am right!!!
You are refusing a free gift and condemning yourself to an eternity of hell just because you didn't want to believe in a God that has made his presence more than abundantly clear and you choose to do everything your way.
Just a little bit to think about!!!!

What do you base your feelings of badness on? You are enslaved by your idea that you can have feelings of good and bad based on truth that is subjective relativism. You should feel bad for yourself. There are no such thing as Fairies...sorry to disappoint you over that. But then again if your an Atheist I guess they could exist if that's your relative choice eh?

Ya know, people in this country still have the right of freedom of religion (the last time I checked) so why ask questions about my God
and why I love him so much. Of course if you are reaching for answers anybody here will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Jesus said that we will be hated for His name sake............The Bible is correct again. Don't condemn other peoples religion

Beleivers are, by definition, unable to be happy with out their belief in their sky daddy. It's like a giant phantom teddy bear they carry everywhere,
Which would be fine except they expect everyone else to carry it around too.
