What is the deal with people talking about the opposite of atheism being Christianity?

Question

There are other religions, ya know.

Answer 1

maybe there are but thyre also wrong
Worship the Trinity

Answer 2

Christianity is the opposite of atheism and since there are more Christians in the US we take the heat. But most all other religions have a God. Atheists are godless and therefore believe there is no God. And so what difference does it make who atheists are debating with?

Atheism is a religion although godless still it is a belief.

Answer 3

People can and do talk about a great many things. Some of them might consider atheism to be opposite Christianity. So what ? It's not true, but what difference does it make to you or me ? If they want to believe that Momonism is the opposite of Shintoism, okay who cares what they think ?
When it comes to religion, people sure do have some crazy ideas, and you will never change them.

Answer 4

You are right, it makes no sense to say the opposite of atheism in Christianity, but I think the discussion here (in Yahoo! Answers) mostly goes this way because there are many Christians here and only a few believers of other religions.

Answer 5

All the Atheist I know don't. I have wondered why it is that the majority of christians here act like it is. Every time they are reminded that there are other beliefs they give the typical response that they are wrong also, but will then in a future question behave as though you are an atheist again. It's like they have blinders on for some reason. Oh well, to each his own. I still believe what I chose for myself.

Answer 6

Because that's pretty much the atmosphere on here. When atheists come on here to "debate" religion, they always want to debate Christianity.

They respect the Buddha, they adore Wiccans, they'll fight you tooth and nail over Islam being "peaceful". But by God, those Christians are all a bunch of cavemen!!

Answer 7

In the beginning, at the time of creation of nature only one element was present in the vast universe of infinity, which is called the prime element or the God. In course of time it condensed into an energy element and then from energy it transformed into a solid element, which again got divided into seven re-transformed parts in course of time. These divided parts are earth (surface), water, air, fire (energy) consciousness, sky, and arrogance. In the seven elements were carried the truth (Positive), essence (Neutral) and sin (Negative) is equal proportion like wise in the whole universe there is a creation on 21 type of matters. These 21 maters constitute the whole universe. And divide themselves in to count less numbers of atoms. During the developing period of universe, in a desire to develop themselves the atoms carried on improving themselves spontaneously and gradually up to conscious soul, generally. Some highly developed carried high consciousness and divine power in them. The atoms of the universe are trying to go further ahead in the way of superiority.

If we take the milk as prime element, then curd, cheese, butter, buttermilk, butter oil, and creams etc. are the byproducts of it. Bacteria is cultured in the curd. Cheese is not active but the bacteria’s are active like wise, the matter, the living being and the ‘spheres’ are developed from the prime elements. The cause of the matter is energy and the energy is the condensed form of prime element (the essential elements of the universe).

The soul enters into the man though breathing to become the part of his cell, again to form into the sperm, and after that it take the form of a foetus in mother’s womb. Every atoms are well equipped to form alive. Wherever co-incidence occurs they become activated. And congruous to the developed state of own, with the help of other germs and atoms they take the form of a full bodied species.

Every atom has a free existence which is made of a part from the supreme element. Whatever is there in this universe, is existing from the beginning, will remain there. Only the shape and the size of it changes. Nothing reduces or increases.

The day atoms go back to there original position they will achieve salvation. Conversion of soul into super element is salvation.

This undivided infinite existing one is God. The soul, germs and the atoms are tiny parts of it. Like a stone and the molecules in it. Countless numbers of molecule combine together to form a stone. Likewise the tenure and the dominance of God are spread in molecules to molecules. This is a fact. An eternal truth.

Every molecules of the nature and every creature are part of the creation only. Different shapes created in them is the combined representation of the germs and atoms, which depend on each other to bring these shapes. They are present in the clay, in the stone and in the total vegetation. They are ‘life elements’. The scientific research has proved that the plants also feel the pain when being cut with a weapon and they also can make out what the person in front thinks about them – ‘Today they are eating, tomorrow they will be eaten or already been eaten.’

Countless numbers of molecules and atoms have become bricks to build houses for you. You were also an atom of some other brick, one day. Tomorrow, you may become a roof for somebody else. Today we are building items from trees and leaves for our comfort. One day, we were also trees and leaves, for our comfort. You were also a tree or leaf one day. You are an unit of this creation. You used to be an atom before, now a germ, and this is the life cycle of yours during the time of infinity. Because,‘O’human being, for the construction of your body some 10 billions cells are required and each cell is made up of thousands of atomic germs.

Lice in the hair, mosquitoes in the drain and the insects in the dark corners, where do they come from ? Have you ever asked the black ants on the age of wash basin, where they come from ? You wait till they (ants) escape from the basin area, so that you can wash you face and no ant should get washed away. But it doesn’t work, they (ants) don’t bother and get washed away with the flow of water. Other creatures like spider, rats, if you don’t kill them they will spoil your food and your sleep. The mosquitoes, if you don’t use mosquito “repeler”, they will suck up your blood. You have them starved to death, by using a mosquito net. How content you feel in that ? How do the ants know where the sugar is ? Those ants with wings, how you burn them to char?
Why do you destroy the honey combs and the wasp den ? The reason is, for existence of one species, an another is sacrificed. You connive for it, but your virtuous mind gets entangled with the ‘net o virtues’ seeing those insects dying. By slaying a lamb, 10 people fill there stomach, but with the killing of 50 mosquitoes a person gets proper sleep.
