Who are correct – Atheists or Believers in God?

Question

There are 12 major religions in the world, representing millions and millions of people, all of whom believe in some sort of creator, but typically they believe in God. All of these religions have their own unique supporting evidence, for example the Bible, to backup and prove their belief that God exists.

On the other side of the fence, there is 1 group called Atheists who do not believe in God, and do not accept that the religious evidence is factual or truthful. Atheists use intelligence, commonsense and logic to prove that the religious evidence is nothing more than fantasy.

Frequently we hear religious people saying that there must be a creator, how could so many people be wrong? Remember the movie 12 Angry Men, where 12 jurors were all so quick to condemn, but only 1 juror knew the real truth?

Today we have 12 Angry Religions all quick to condemn, and only 1 group (Atheists) that knows the truth. What do you think the verdict will be?

Answer 1

What if they're all wrong?

Answer 2

Truth is not decided by a majority vote. Indeed, the most intelligent people are in the minority. Logic and science are far more reliable than books of fantasy in finding truth. I have seen that there many errors in the Bible, both scientific inaccuracies and outright contradictions. One must be blind to deny this and childlike to accept such naive tales as true. I have studied many religions, and I am certain that all of them are no more true than Christianity. Actually, Guatama the Buddha was agnostic and said that wondering about gods is idle speculation. What are your 12 major religions? I recall: 1.Christianity 2.Judaism 3.Islam 4.Mormonism 5.Hinduism 6.Buddhism 7. Jainism 8.Taoism 9.Confucianism 10.Shintoism. These are the main ones. There are some practiced by smaller groups, e.g. Wicca, Obeah, Carvaka and many really small ones.

Answer 3

There are no angry religions.
The Holy Books have mentioned about God's anger, but we can never understand how He acts, because His love and justice are not separated.
In the past the Messengers of God allowed self-defense, because there was no protection for men by an institution of world justice. And in such case, anger still prevailed among vaarious groups of people.
But the Messenger of God for our time, Baha'u'llah, has abolished the right of self defense, because men are mature enough to understand the life of the soul, and morever, they can establish the International Tribunal to safeguard the universal order.

So, now we can say that angry believers are worse than the atheists. How would they be angry, if they truly believe in the omnipotent protection of God!
Atheists are not only wrong but they are also ungrateful to God, the Creator of all worlds. As a believer in God, I don't criticize them, I don't want people to have any unfavorable actions against them, but I keep on praying for them to think deeply and moderately and will finally return to the One True God, the common Father of all religions, of all mankind.
The existence of the One True God is not the ingorant creation of any men, but it is successively and perfectly reavealed in all the Holy Books, in all the most valuable Writings of the Divine Educators, of the most saintly, most wise Personalities througout history. No human books can be compared to the Torah, the Upanishad, the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Quran, the Bayan, the Kitab-i-Iqan...
I dare never say that I am or will be able to write even one verse equalling to any verse in those Sacred Scriptures.
Yes, let the true believers show utmost love to those who don't believe, even they persecute us. We can do this because we believe that the true reality of man is the soul, and selfless love is the real nourishment of the soul.
Mankind do not separate into two agressive fronts. There are real believers and false believers, there are prejudicious atheists and wise atheists, there are obstinate agnostics and meditative agnostics, there are healthy people and sick people physically and spiritually, and there are still thousands of categories of human beings who are happy with God's blessings and who are temporarily doubtful about that.
But, I strongly believe that the divine love and sovereignty of God will triumph over all creation. So, I wish to repeat here again my humble suggestion: let us treat each other as mature human beings.

Answer 4

I dont know if you know this but no-one, not even the smartest Atheist has ever "proved" that God or matters of faith were "nothing more than a fantasy"

As far as using logic and common sense, that's definitely not the average Atheists area of expertise. Common sense would say that since all creation is extremely detailed that there would have to be an intelligent Creator. I don't need the Bible or anything to "back up" my beliefs. God Himself has proven Himself to me to the point that there could never be any "scientific" proof that there is no God. As He has to billions of people throughout time... "common sense" as you say, would say "just because I have never experienced something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist"

Answer 5

I don't know how you can describe religions as "angry". Most religions teach love and compassion. I know Christianity does. To answer your question, which side of the fence would you rather be on if you were wrong? I have spent my life having fun, worshiping the Lord with friends and family, enjoying good health (because I chose not to drink and use other drugs and stayed physically fit), donating my time and money to help others, and enjoying God's great creations. I'm not sure how you have spent your life, but let's say you enjoyed life, but didn't worship the Lord. In the end, we both die at the same time. If there isn't a God (and I really have no doubt there is), we both end up in the ground - no loss on the part of either of us. If there is a God (which I know there is), I will be enjoying eternal life with Him in His heavenly kingdom. You chose not to believe (John 3:16). Where will you spend eternity? The verdict is . . .

Answer 6

This question has been asked lots of times. All I can say is the bible says, first death, then judgement. Your question will be answered within seconds after you breathe your last breath.
Also, Jesus, said, I am the way, truth and life, there is no other god besides me. I choose the believe him. A couple differences between Christianity and all the other 11 religions:
- it is the only religion whose leader says he IS God. Mohammed, Buddha, etc did not claim to be God.
- it is the only religion where God provided the payment for sin - no works involved - all other religions include continual works.
- the bible says you can KNOW NOW that you have eternal life. All the others say you won't or can't know until your works have been evaluated at the end of your life
Something to think about.

Answer 7

How will there be a verdict? No matter what, there will never be PROOF that a god doesn't exist, or PROOF that one does. Many people will tell you that they are religious, but a percentage of those people don't believe in god but simply don't want to go against their family's religion. Similarly, conservatives may have chosen their political path due to their family's beliefs. Because religion is so emersed in our culture, it is difficult for some people to claim that they are atheists. Although our culture may slowly be changing and becoming less based on religion, especially with the failure of America's current president, there will always be those who confide in religion as a security measure and a way to join a caring community.

Answer 8

Believers are atheists when it comes to other religions. Let's say there are 1,000 religions. A believer of any one of them is an atheist about the other 999, or 99.9 percent.

So a believer is 99.9 per cent atheist, and an atheist is 100% atheist.

There is no God, but even so, the believers are still 99.9 percent right, because they recognize that all the other religions are bogus.

Answer 9

Excuse my errors in language ( I am not American).
How atheists can be wrighte if even they are not sure...of their atheism..Believers of God have so much to prove that GOD exists for real (example:if you see painting ,you know that there's somewhere painter of it's painting.The same thing with earth..you know it just didn't come out of big "BOOM!").Atheists try in to prove that GOD don't exists , but to prove such a big thing it's like have knowledge of everything from big "BOOM" to present times...And to know everything from all times is just impossible! Example" Let's say that there's someone who say that there's no gold in china....Hm mm.. what that person would have to do is to prove it by checking under every rock in every person mouth is there a gold filling in their tooth...etc.etc...just impossible.

Answer 10

It'd be a lot easier to believe the believers if they had some kind of evidence, or good arguments to back up their beliefs. So far, nothing, so we've got to believe that it's the atheists who have it right.

Answer 11

actual no one can p.c.. how they are cited. yet human beings's minds replace as they bypass on with existence people who have been raised non secular later desperate to alter into atheist. people who was once atheist whilst they have been youthful later observed a faith. somebody who has some style of opinion now could have a thoroughly diverse one twenty years from now.
