how come atheists dont try to disprove the existance of hindu gods, or african gods?why just the christian god

Answer 1

We do.

It's just that there mostly Christians here pushing theirs, and sometimes Muslims. If any Hindus or Africans come here pushing their gods, we'll refute them, also.

Answer 2

Because I've never had a discussion about religion with a Hindu.
I don't feel a need to disprove peoples Gods or believes, but I will join in on a discussion about religion, and the existence of God.
But if the person I'm discussing this with is a Catholic or a Muslim, starting to talk about Hindu or African Gods seems a bit off topic, to me.
When I say I don't believe in God I mean any God - whether that's Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Northern, or any of the other Gods people believe in. I shouldn't have to name them all, and then say "Nope, don't believe in Him/Her/Them either."

Answer 3

We don't have to disprove the existence of any gods. The reason it seems that there is more focus on the Christian god is because the Hindus and Africans are not telling us how we are going to burn in hell, they are not insisting that their version of creation is taught in school, they are not manipulating American voters with bogus political issues like women's rights, and they are not telling us we are bad citizens because we don't believe the way that they do. Christians are in fact doing all these things. Get off your high and mighty self righteousness and we might even forget you were ever here.

Answer 4

You are wrong. Atheists by definition deny any god's existence. Evidently you are a Christian and take such a denial personally, but it is not so. Also, Hindus and African animists don't try to convert others to their way of thinking, unlike many Christians, who claim a duty from god to proselytize.

Answer 5

ok . . . i'm no longer gonna bypass with the cop-out "It doesn't exist that way so i'm able to't imagine it" garbage. no longer purely that, i'm gonna bypass with option C, a distinct type of god. A god, singular nonetheless, no longer a pantheon or something, and who cares what gender if any. A god which will be communicated with one-on-one, face-to-face, seen and audible and all that. A god that had to be completely understood this component of eternity. *completely* understood. A god that would let us know why. i imagine, and definite, I do experience so ambitious (lol), that many atheists . . . and that i'd be incorrect, so undergo with me right here . . . are not waiting to work out the want of the God of the former testomony. Heck, many Christians won't be able to see that necessity, and to be completely straightforward, i'm no longer advantageous that i'm able to describe it properly myself. it is mandatory that i'm able to manage in my head and between me and God, yet want to income more suitable myself to describe it properly to others, even to different Christians. yet yeah, tremendous question.

Answer 6

As a Jewish person, I have never had a Hindu or African (African gods? What are those?) try to convert me or tell me that unless I believe as they do I will burn in hell for all eternity. I believe the Christian god is arbitrary, insecure (why the need for all that adoration?) and just downright mean. I have my own version of god which is the same god as Einstein's who stated: “I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings”

Answer 7

Because most of the hindu and african faiths are more tolerant of diverse belief systems and allow for some diversity within their own belief system. They probably have a way of embracing atheism, or at least being amused by it. They are willing to share their beliefs but not convert someone... because they don't appreciate when such efforts are put on them (and they know what that's like!)

Answer 8

Cuz Hindus and Africans arent here trying to make thier religious laws into my secular law. Hiundus and Africans arent banging on my door on weekend mornings inviting me to be "saved" from nothing... Hindus and Africans arent here trying to prevent me and anyone else who isnt a Hindu or African from certain RIGHTS.

Any other questions?? Id also like to point out that there is no need to disprove your God - the Bible does an admirable job itself it you read it closely enough....

Answer 9

When Nietzsche said "God is dead.",he meant that western civilization did not accept that god is man.When you have a society founded on the principle that "all men are created equal",there is no room for god as man .Tribal society holds that the chief,who is the best man by all definitions within the social structure of the tribe, is god,not symbolically,but in actuality.Removing god from the physical realm has raised all kinds of questions and doubts about his existence.There is a schism between what one believes and what one experiences through their senses.Among "primitive" peoples ,this schism does not exist.

Answer 10

I do not try to disprove any god(s). The total lack of the existance of god(s) in general is very obvious and needs no proving on my part. If any material proof is required I'd say it is upon the believers to offer such.

Answer 11

The simple truth is that most atheists do not try to disprove any religious belief until that belief attacks them or attempts to force itself on them in everyday life. Thus the Christian church gets most of their attention. I am a Christian but I certainly understand their responses.
