Is it just me, or do Atheists always sound like there mad at something?

Question

The last couple of days I have been reading allot of what they have to say about their beliefs, and others,and what I have seen is a overwhelming since of,,,,, it's hard to explain but they seem sad about something. Can someone explain?

I am more convinced than ever, thank you there is a GOD. God bless you all, amen.

Answer 1

When you don't have God in your life lets say like J....B you can't be very happy. And that's very sad.

Answer 2

So is it sad or mad?

Doesn't make any difference. Someone who calls themselves an atheist is just doing it to annoy those who go in for religion. A true atheist would not argue with you about religion, since he is convinced that religions are just a bunch of folk stories developed by men over time to bring some kind of order to a universe that seems to be total chaos.
The answer, of course, is that's exactly what it is - chaos.
Atheists aren't evil, they can have just as much compassion for their fellow man as Mother Theresa. They've just gotten beyond the crutch of religion..

Answer 3

I get a little tired of having gods throw in my face day after day, from the slogan on the money (which is NOT, as some have asserted, our national motto), to the Pledge of Allegiance, to swearing in at court. Yes, and some days it makes me angry to be told I'm "not a good American" because I have no supernatural beliefs (I actually heard this from a hate-radio talking head).
If Christians would just stop trying to convert the planet and understand some of us base our beliefs in science, we'd all get along better. Until then, I will occasionally spout off at a bible thumper.

Answer 4

If you are a Christian then you have a whole different view of eternity then the average atheist does. He/she can not see any opportunity to advance beyond this world/existence. If you are a Christian then you can see the opportunity to be in Heaven with Both the FATHER and HIS SON. What a wonderful group of people are there to be with! Hebrews mentions a number of them for us to read about. Have a great evening.

Answer 5

Okay, imagine a Christian who actually followed the central tenet of compassion. Place him in a world where he is surrounded by atheists or muslims. Wouldn't he then be sad about something? Perhaps the other people, who are so sadly deluded?

Answer 6

I can`t explain it, but I agree,they do act sad, or even mad.

Answer 7

In his book "Surprised by Joy" a leading atheist by the name of C.S. Lewis (The Chronicales of Narnia) talks about something he calls "The Hound of Heaven" that constantly pursued him. The more he tried to shut out the idea of God, the more this "Hound" pursued him, and the more angry he became. Finally he could stand no more. In his own words, he became one of the most reluctant converts in England. It was then that a most unexpected thing happened. He was flooded with true Joy. The book is very interesting.

I suspect that many of those atheists that you refer to, are being pursued by "The Hound of Heaven"

Below is a copy and paste. It talks about another leading atheist. When does the "Hound of Heaven" stop pursuing the atheist. This man was 81 when he accepted that God is real.

If you are an atheists reading this, I believe that the "Hound of Heaven" will pursue you until you are dead. I hope you give in and then you too will be "Surprised by Joy"

God bless

Academics viewing the universe through a narrow scope should rethink assumptions
Dallas Morning News
By Roy Abraham Varghese
December 15, 2004

Last week, The Associated Press broke the news that the most famous atheist in the academic world over the last half-century, Professor Antony Flew of England's University of Reading, now accepts the existence of God.

Mr. Flew's best-known plaint for atheism, "Theology and Falsification," was delivered in 1950 to the Socratic Club, chaired by none other than C.S. Lewis. This paper went on to become the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades and set the agenda for modern atheism.

Now, in a remarkable reversal, Mr. Flew holds that the universe was brought into being by an infinite intelligence.

"What I think the DNA material has done is show that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements together," he said. "The enormous complexity by which the results were achieved look to me like the work of intelligence."

Given the conventional wisdom of some psychologists that people rarely, if ever, change their worldview after the age of 30, this radical new position adopted by an 81-year-old thinker may seem startling.

But Mr. Flew's change was consistent with his career-long principle of following the evidence where it led him. And his newfound theism is the product neither of a Damascus road experience nor of fresh philosophical arguments, but by his sustained analysis of scientific data.

Mr. Flew's conclusion is consistent with the actual beliefs of most modern scientific pioneers, from Albert Einstein to quantum physicists like Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg. In their view, the intelligence of the universe - its laws - points to an intelligence that has no limitation - "a superior mind," as Einstein put it.

Not a few of our men and women of letters, it would seem, have been looking for God in all the wrong places. Those who dismiss God as a product of psychological conditioning or pre-scientific myth-making have not come to terms with the essential assumptions underlying the scientific enterprise.

Science assumes that the universe follows laws, which leads to the question of how the laws of nature came into being. How does the electron know what to do? In A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking asks what breathes fire into the equations of science and gives a universe for them to describe. The answer to the question of why the universe exists, he concluded, would reveal to us "the mind of God."

Last May, I helped organize a New York University symposium on religion and science, with the participation of Mr. Flew and others. Our starting point was science's new knowledge that the universe's history is a story of quantum leaps of intelligence, the sudden yet systematic appearance of intrinsically intelligent systems arranged in an ascending order.

Many people assume that the intelligence in the universe somehow evolved out of nonintelligence, given chance and enough time, and in the case of living beings, through natural selection and random mutation. But even in the most hardheadedly materialistic scenario, intelligence and intelligent systems come fully formed from day one.

Matter came with all its ingenious, mathematically precise laws from the time it first appeared. Life came fully formed with the incredibly intelligent symbol processing of DNA, the astonishing phenomenon of protein-folding and the marvel of replication from its very first appearance. Language, the incarnation of conceptual thought with its inexplicable structure of syntax, symbols and semantics, appeared out of the blue, again with its essential infrastructure as is from day one.

The evidence we have shows unmistakably that there was no progressive, gradual evolution of nonintelligence into intelligence in any of the fundamental categories of energy, life or mind. Each one of the three had intrinsically intelligent structures from the time each first appeared. Each, it would seem, proceeds from an infinitely intelligent mind in a precise sequence.

We can, if we want, declare that there is no reason why there are reasonable laws, no explanation for the fact there are explanations, no logic underlying logical processes. But this is manifestly not the conclusion adopted by Einstein, Heisenberg and, most recently, Antony Flew.

Answer 8

We are mad at people like you for asking insipid arrogant questions.

Answer 9

If you weren't blessed by God, you would have reason to be angry too.

Jesus is MY savior.

Answer 10

Thats just your impression of things. Christians always sound like they're preaching.
