Athiests have proven they are obnoxious, rude, and irritating. You can't reason with these people. A lot of these people who claim to be athiests are really agnostic. The self absorbing athiest isn't smart enough to believe, just let them find out on their own. Athiesm is a nice way of saying cowardism. Show some guts, believe in something.

This is a popular question. Hmmm, should I ask more?
2006-12-10 20:39:48 · update #2
first, Buddism is not atheistic. It is non-theistic.
second, being atheist is tough, because atheist has to have positive knoweledge (or even assurance if you will) that God doesn't exist. To have such a precise assurance is askin too much.
Even though I am a Evangelical Christian, I think being atheist trully is to say too much. Honestly, being agnistic or deist is much easier an more humble. To say you're atheist is to say that you KNOW that there is no God. But to make such a claim is making a HUGE statement! Because you have to know 100% about that matter.
For example, God may have created humans and then hid Himself... how can you know anything about HIm if he is not even empirically verifiable as any physical object.
Let me restate what I mean: to say that there is no God is to be SURE that there is no God. Who can be 100% certain? hmm...
Of course anybody can hold to whatever theological stand (since a-theism [denying God's existance] is a theological stand as well. Hense everybody has his own theology because everybody has his views concerning God - even atheists. Their theology is - no God), but just consider the possibiliies. What are the odds that you [if you're an atheist] 100% sure that there is no God...?
I'm not making fun of anybody, but I'm just philosophizing here ;-)

Why are you so unaware of what an atheist is?! ATHEIST - someone who does no longer believe in a God – any God – no longer purely the Christian one. yet that does no longer recommend they do no longer carry solid moral or non secular beliefs! they could be able to stick with any faith that does no longer have a god and there are a good type of those! Like BUDDHISM – non secular education from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and fantasy (the reason of all suffering) guy can attain acceptable enlightenment! the position do you imagine christianity were given it truly is options of a soul and afterlife from for goodness sake? They stole it from the pagan tribes and peoples which existed thousands and 1000's of years before christianity! From the stone age by vikings, Egyptians, Maoris, Aborigines, American Indians and fantastically the chinese, all of them had complicated funerals and grave products to velocity the soul into the subsequent existence with convenience! upload christians and muslims at the same time and they quantity to in problem-free words lower than a third of the international inhabitants maximum folk of something is produced from atheists and religions with out gods!! so as that they are interior maximum folk the following!

Of course,because it's just easier to believe in a bunch of superstitions passed down by people 2000 years ago. What the average Christian or religious person of any stripe engages in everyday is intellectual laziness. Rather than search for answers to the questions of the world they just turn to their books and dogma. Let us forget the fact that there are mistakes involving the most basic scientific facts in the "inspired" word of God. And so it would seem that God himself doesn't understand how his own universe works.

Oh boy. It's not enough for us to believe in the Constitution, or individual human dignity, or civil liberties? It's not enough to believe it's more important to feed the hungry (something your Jesus tells you to do) than to make sure the oil companies have enough money? I'll tell you what I believe: I believe I'm getting a little sick of being characterized as ignorant or foolish because I refuse to believe in the Big Cosmic Muffin. I believe it's time for you and your kind to shove that misbegotten book of yours where the sun doesn't shine. I believe it's time for your churches to start paying taxes. You want to take over the government so badly, then you should help pay for it. I believe I'll go get some coffee now and calm down.

People could say the same thing about hardcore believers.But name calling and judging people about their beliefs or lack of beliefs only serves to show people that the person calling the names and making the judgments is the one with a serious problem.

You said you can't "reason" with an Atheist? Does anyone else find that interesting irony? Since when was your religion about reason? No it is about negation of reason. if it were about reason you wouldn't be Christain. An athiest strongest attribute is utilizing reason.. athiest reject Christainity because believing that stuff as history is only through negation of reason.

You're operating on the premise that atheists believe in nothing. That's incorrect. Atheists don't believe in God. Very different from not believeing in anything. Buddhism is an atheistic religion--and yet there is indeed very strong belief in a number of things, including a spirit world. Lack of belief in God does not mean lack of belief in anything.

If we believe in your god then we get eternal life, if we don't believe we get eternal damnation. And WE are cowards??? We are willing to examine facts and separate them from fiction. If you believe the bible then you are compelled to accept us as we are. If you believe the bible, then you have to accept that god made us and has a plan for us. By complaining about atheists you are contradicting the work of god. Will he be happy?

I believe in plenty. I believe in life. I believe in the love of my family. I believe in choice. I believe that you just stepped over the line by starting the name calling and you're reported for your insults.
Have a nice night. :)

Absence of belief in your chosen religion doesn't mean I don't believe in anything.
One thing I do believe strongly is that you are the one who is obnoxious, rude and irritating.
