Atheists call the Bible fairy tales - so.. what about "Mother Earth"/?

Question

Can you prove it? We have no scientific proof.
It is just part of your stories, right?
A myth... hmmmm

Answer 1

Correct. Mother Earth is also a fairy tale.

I think you may be mixing atheists up with pagans -- it's the latter who worship Mother Earth. Atheists have no belief in a deity of any kind.

You're welcome.

Answer 2

Wow do you actually try to think with that brain,don't you will only end up hurting yourself. Are you referring to like wiccans or pagans or something,atheism is the belief there is no God but I'm really confused about where you're trying to go with it. As for the bible I wouldn't go quite as far as calling it fairy tales,more like stories of events that have been blown way out of proportion over time. Like maybe Moses did lead the Israelites after they left Egypt after being freed,but did it part the Red Sea or bring on the plagues,somehow really doubtful. They are simply things that were added generations later.No different than the myths of many civilizations before and after,they are probably based on true events but added to through multiple tellings until they achieve grandiose proportions. No more real the the Gods of the Egyptians who were probably based on some powerful person from their past and then blown out of proportion until centuries later they were revered as Gods.

Answer 3

What about her? I'm not sure of the stories you are referring to. I think it's just a name given to the earth.
Every story written in history, whether it's the Bible, or any other book can't be proven. What's your point? This has been beaten to death. Relax. Not everyone is going to believe the Bible is true, and by asking this question you look, well, like a sore loser. None of it will ever be proven, so stop the petty comments.

Answer 4

1st, being an atheist doesn't mean you believe in something called "mother earth". 2nd when people mention "mother earth" I don't think they really believe that there is some sort of literal supernatural deity associated with it. It's an abstraction. Nor do they find the need to worship it, give it their money. Can you understand that? Or are you too obtuse?

Answer 5

What the hell are you talking about, atheists don't believe in ANY creation myths. What a stupid question.

"Mother earth" is more of a saying than a belief to most people, though i suppose pagans and wiccans worship some sort of earthmothergoddess.

Answer 6

Hmmm....is it not a SIN to lie?

I'm an atheist. Never ONCE have I here, nor in the real world labelled the bible as "fairy tales".

Completely absurd, perhaps, but never a fairy tale - fairy tales are fun to read for a start.

Get your facts right.

(FYI, "Mother Earth" is a term commonly used to express the idea of Nature as encompassing Earth, thereby creating a "living" Planet....sheesh, what ARE they teaching you xtians nowadays!??)

Answer 7

You said that athiests believe in a fairy tale?
You are SOO slow, athiests believe in nothing mythical at all
Science gives scientifical facts, a 4,000/2,000 year old book does not, as the authors did not know of science at the time

Answer 8

Mother Earth: yup - she's a myth. What's your point? Are you alleging that Atheists believe in a Mother Earth fairy story? I think you misunderstand Atheism...

Answer 9

"Mother Earth" is merely a turn of phrase; personification. I know Pagans who believe firmly in a mother goddess, and others who do not. I can't prove that She exists, I can't prove that She is a woman -- all I know is that the image is comforting to me. I don't claim it as The Truth. It may be *my* truth, but I will never say it must be everyone else's.

Answer 10

Aesop has talking animals in his stories, just like the Bible, but no one wanders around saying it was divinely inspired.

Aesop makes more sense, too.
