Fellow atheists, how can we show to religious people that we are superior and they are inferior?

Question

by the way this question was a joke, it was funny reading some of your answers though...thanks for the lanugh.

Answer 1

if you are truly superior, why do you have to prove it?
if you were truly superior, then it should be evident.

Answer 2

Your simple question exhibits ego, ignorance, and limited thinking. Not necessarily traits of a "superior" mind.

I imagine you are just as annoyed as I with "religious" folk who see the world in black and white terms; but almost as annoying as the "Jesus is the only way" people are the "all religious people are inferior" people.

So...enjoy your false feeling of superiority...your intellectual ideals...And, if you wish, feel free to continue chasing your tail like the conservative Christians you so despise...

peace

Answer 3

LOL. A true thinker would see the reality of God. Only a mindless computer would not see the metaphysical. Those that boast superiority do not realize their own ignorance. And since you are sooo superior to stupid God believers such as myself, please tell me how the big bang caused something to be created from nothing. Why are their physical laws in this universe, who determined them? Why did we evolve, what was the impetus for our change? Guess what, you are just as in the dark about these things as we all are. But at least we know God is behind the scenes.

Answer 4

superior? inferior? everyone has the opportunity to voice their opinion, and everyone has the right to be respected. to prove that one is better than other makes the atheist guilty of the same thing that they blame Christians for - judging. anyone who can't respect will never by respectED. sounds like you're trying to find a way to be respected...try respecting others, it may do wonders for you.

Answer 5

You are not an atheist. The idea of superiority is a trait of a religious upbringing.

In atheist would not even think in such a childish manner.

Answer 6

when we are in heaven and you are not; it will be too late then ; eternity is a long time; why deny your maker ; there are no atheists in fox holes - that saying didn't come about for no reason; an empty heart doesn't make you superior just lost. Merry Christmas.

Answer 7

We could just give them a taste of their own medicine and pull a present day version of the Spanish Inquisition. Or the Salem Witch Trials. Or the forced conversion of North American Indians. That might be fun.


Or we could just not be stuck up pricks and realize they're just people that want to believe in life after death, and that they're not inferior in any way.

Answer 8

That is not the question you should be asking. It is people like you that give atheists a bad name. We should be striving to work together and tolerate each other. If you want to receive respect you must give it. You are superior to no one.

Answer 9

Here's something from the Christian apologist Ron Rhodes in his book, "Answering the Objections of Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics". Please read (Note: words/phrases in caps are actually italicized or bolded in the book, but I couldn't do that here).
"OBJECTION: GOD DOES NOT EXIST: Some Atheists categorically state that there is no God, and all Atheists, by definition, believe it.
ANSWERING THE OBJECTION: From a logical standpoint, this assertion is indefensible. A person would have to be omniscient and omnipresent to be able to say from his or her own pool of knowledge that there is no God. Only someone who is capable of being in all places at the same time--with a perfect knowledge of all that is in the universe--can make such a statement based on the facts. Christian apologists Bob and Gretchen Passantino put it this way:
In order to prove with complete certainty that there are no
white crows anywhere in the universe, we would have to
search every portion of the universe thoroughly and
simultaneously (in case the white one flies away as we
approach). By analogy, to prove with complete certainty that
God does not exist would require virtually infinite knowledge of
the material world and the immaterial world and anything
hypothetically 'beyond' both states of existence.
In like manner, Ravi Zacharias observes that in 'postulating the nonexistence of God, Atheism immediately commits the blunder of an absolute negation, which is self-contradictory. For, to sustain the belief that there is no God, it has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge."' To put it another way, a person would have to BE God in order to SAY there is no God.
Robert Morey suggests this point can be forcefully made by asking [an] Atheist if he has ever visited the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Mention that the library presently contains over 70 million items--books, magazines, journals, and so forth. Point out that hundreds of thousands of these were written by scholars and specialists in the various academic fields. Then ask, 'What percentage of the collective knowledge recorded in the volumes in this library would you say is within your own pool of knowledge and experience?' The Atheist will likely respond, 'I don't know. I guess a fraction of one percent.' You can then ask, 'Do you think it is logically possible that God may exist in the 99.9 percent that is outside your pool of knowledge and experience?' Even if the Atheist refuses to admit the possibility, Morey says, you have made your point.
Some Atheists have wised up and recognized there is no way to prove God does not exist from their own pool of knowledge. Hence, some now refrain from arguing AGAINST the existence of God. They have turned the tables and hold that the burden of proof is on Christians to prove that God DOES exist. Atheist George Smith thus writes, 'When the Atheist is seen as a person who lacks belief in a god, it becomes clear that he is not obligated to "prove" anything.' Of course the fatal flaw with this line of argumentation is that once you say 'I lack a belief in God', you have in fact AFFIRMED a religious 'belief', and are therefore now required to prove it."

I guess it's for you to judge whether you think we're inferior or not for yourself, even if this question IS a joke. However, the facts and the Almighty God's judgment still stand in our favor that we are equal. After all, all humans were created in God's image.

Answer 10

First by losing the attitude that "we are superior". I am an ardent atheist, but I am embarassed by "questions" like yours. One of religionists biggest critisism of us is that we act like we are smarter or better educated. You will win no 'converts' to rational thinking with that kind of attitude my friend.

Many people are faith are highly intelligent and well educated, they just have an ability to compartmentalize the "god" part of their life away from the rational way they approach everything else. Many people of faith are also ignorant, uneducated, and intolerant, that is true, but a significant minority of people espousing atheism also demonstrate those same qualities...like you.

Answer 11

Why do you feel the need to prove superiority to anyone? Sounds like an ego problem to me.
