Is the bible the book of biggest bigotry and outright hate speech against Atheists?

Question

"Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."

This is only one of the many quotes I could use.

Discuss!

Answer 1

If you created something, and what you created outright denied you, how would you feel? What would you say. God is perfect, and he needs no exsplantion for anything.

Answer 2

Defensive much? That verse is about fools who happen to be atheists, not all atheists.

You should start trying to understand things in context. This verse is talking about people who intentionally convince themselves that God does not exist to judge their evil deeds. He is trying to point out one of the arguments that evil people use to justify their actions. In other words, the thief convinces himself that God does not exist, so that he can steal with a clear conscience. This has nothing whatsoever to do with a person who scientifically concludes that there is no God. Believe it or not, atheism is actually closer to the ancient Christian view of God than most modern Christians - it is no coincidence that ancient Christians were burned at the stake for being "atheists."

Atheists, in the modern since of the term, did not even exist in the ancient world. Stop being so defensive, and stop thinking that the very Christians you disagree with on every other point just happen to be right when the interpret they Bible for you. Think about it - if they exercise such bad judgment every where else, what makes you think that they understand a work as complex as the Bible? Read it for yourself and make an effort to understand it in context.

I disagree with the query and the terrific answer. replaced into born a Catholic and am a working in direction of non-non secular agnostic. i'm serious of prepared faith. I won't report issues like this, truly. at the start, i do in comparison to dealing with all the hassle of reporting a individual's remark. Secondly, such questions in easy terms function a testomony to the widespread Christian inhabitants's bigotry, hypocrisy and lack of expertise of their very own faith. thank you.

Answer 4

It would be difficult for the people who wrote the Bible to assert the veracity of their claims without giving the Bible's readers a few reasons to be suspicious about anyone who questions them. This is why, in the Bible, you find stories of Satan tempting Christ, the serpent fooling Eve, and so on. It is amazing how many people believe that "the devil hath a pleasing tongue", and that those who use logical reasoning when it comes to religion are either Satan or influenced by Satan. The writings in the Bible told them to feel that way, and that's why they feel that way. Logic = Evil. Delusion flourishes.

Answer 5

People like you who constantly attack faith are the biggest hindrances to atheists. You're constantly attacking us, yet accusing us of attacking you. Just look at your questions, all attacks on us. So I suppose you and other trolls are the reason so many christians dislike atheists, you give us the impression you're all hostile idiots, or maybe hostile fool like the psalm says. You advertise yourself as an atheist, so then we start to see all atheists like this. Luckily, some of us actually know real atheists, who do not hang out in the religion/spiritual section of YA just to attack those of faith, they're in sections they actually have an interest in, so we know that all atheists aren't hateful trolls sprouting hate.

Answer 6

if indeed this is the god you speak of, he should also see Jerry Springer today

God Orders Adultery

"This said the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun." (II Samuel 12:11)


Here describes God, not only condoning adultery, but literally causes it to happen!

Note also, the strange assertion that God raises up evil, supposedly an act reserved for Satan. In fact, nowhere does the Bible accuse Satan of raising evil. Little do most faithful realize that they worship a raiser and creator of evil (for God's creation of evil, see Isaiah 45:7).

Answer 7

The bible also says in : Matthew 5:22- "whoever says, 'You fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire".

But then everyone knows that the bible is self contradictory and that Christians are hypocrites.

Answer 8

Hey, while you're at it, you ought to see what the Koran says about non-believers.

Why just limit yourself to the Bible?

Answer 9

The bible pages should be used for toilet paper, that is the only goos use for it other than starting a fire in a fireplace.



Yes i'm in a bad mood. and I am going to let it out on this forum.

Answer 10

The Bible is full of hate speech. Don't mean it's wrong.

Answer 11

Ask yourself why these verses bother you if you don't believe the book?

I know the answer but you need to find it for yourself. Peace :-)
