Do religious people understand that atheists aren't anti-god?

Question

The atheists will say of course we're not, we know he doesn't exist - but I mean anti the idea. Darwin didn't set out to disprove creationism, he just observed the facts and came up with a logical explanation that has been proven beyond any doubt. Fundamentalists can come up with as many stories of his deathbed conversion as they like but it wouldnt matter - we don't accept arguments from authority - someone else would have figured out evolution and published at roughly the same time. It was time for humans to discover evolution.

The ideas we use against religion are nothing more than the ideas a Christian would use buying a used car - would you take it on faith that it was everything the dealer said? Would you want to see for yourself instead? Why only use logic and reason in some parts of your life. You don't need religion to be moral.

"Evolution is an illusion created by materialism (the philosophy that science is truth)" Thanks Aztec - is this person a hypocrite using a damn computer? I think so!

TTC? I can't understand your point. Its not at all obvious to me that religious people have one.

I can see some of you don't understand how a scientific theory is different from 'theory' in the everyday sense. Go to this link and it may explain it in terms you can understand http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html

Answer 1

They don't get it. I've had several messages saying I'm anti-Jesus because I don't believe in God. Not beleiving in God is a buetral position. I only judge actions from that standpoint, not beliefs.

I'm anti-Jesus because I'm Jewish, and his existance has hurt our existance.

Answer 2

I hope that anyone who has claimed to be one thing or another has done their own homework. If you say you're a Democrat w/o knowing what that party stands for then you are a disgrace to all those who have investigated what they claim to be.

I understand that many atheist have investigated both religion and atheism and come out on the side of atheism. It's funny how close the line between religion and atheism is. We both are hoping that we are right. We are both taking a leap of faith in saying that one is true and the other is false.

I think that we are using both reason and logic is our faith though. We must believe that Christ is either who he says he is, a liar, or he was a mad man. There is much more than that, but it is a very reasonable and logical thing to be a person of faith.

Answer 3

I understand most atheists have their reasons. Why they choose not to believe in God. Atheists are people who seek that answer, that's why I find most of them smart. They don't rely on faith (but we really should n_n) but search for that real answer out there to justify faith. Some are offensive but some christians are also offensive. I just hope you guys can find peace somehow! yes, morals are innate and depend on how we were raised and the circumstances but I've found peace in my God and I ask atheists out there to respect that part of it at least.:) i understand there is a "war" raging between atheists christians and muslims. Each says that the other is attacking the other and so they fight. But if a person decides to stop only when the other side stops then there is no point right?:) I'm taking my first step to stop the judging, God Bless!:)

Answer 4

Evolution is an illusion created by materialism (the philosophy that science is truth).

Yes, some atheists are anti-God and want belief in him exterminated from the face of the earth. A large number of them work for the ACLU.

Answer 5

I understand that Atheists are Godless. I understand that the Theory of Evolution is just that, a Theory, it has not been proven beyond all doubt. I understand the the laws of science and nature are man made laws and God defies those laws. I understand the logic and reasoning of Atheists is flawed or hasn't been taken full circle. I understand that you generalize and assume certain things but that don't make them fact either. I understand that pure religion is this: Taking care of widows and orphans.

Answer 6

First off, Darwins theories have not been proven. Check again. Still a Theory, not the Law of Evolution. Keep trying to prove your point with incorrect statements though, it amuses us.

I believe in Christ and my strength in my faith comes from what I have read, witnessed, and learned.

I researched The Bible, just like I would have read Consumer Reports. I lived the life after making a choice, just like a test drive, and I am happy in my decision.

Additional: I would like for you people who claim a theory is more than a theory to read a dictionary... There is a reaosn why the term is used.

Theory...
1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.
2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3. Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
4. the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice: music theory.
5. a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles.
6. contemplation or speculation.
7. guess or conjecture.

Answer 7

It's logical not to trust a car dealer, whom you know has lied or at least "expands" the truth. But, isn't it logical to trust in a God who has never lied, has done everything He says He will do? It's more logical to have faith in God. By the way, you don't think your anti-God as an athiest (why would you care what we think anyway?) but if your not a supporter and believer in God, then you are against him. There is no gray area here.

Answer 8

One of your statements is very interesting to me. "It was time for humans to discover evolution."

Why? Why not at some point in the countless generations before Darwin's time? Were people in Darwin's generation somehow "smarter" than those who went before them?

I think it is ironic that the very knowledge that God has poured out upon man is used by some to try to "disprove" God's existence.

Answer 9

If more Atheist would stop coming into this site and being down right mean.........maybe more would believe you. If they don't believe in God they should stay away and let us be.Let us answer one anther's questions. It's called Bible study. An Atheist should just pass by the Religion site all together.Have a nice day! And to the Christians who are reading this Have a blessed day!
Okay what did I say to deserve a thumbs down?

Answer 10

I understand and appreciate what you have said,although it is now an established fact that Darwins theory has and is still used by many to dispel the notion of a creator God,Marxism,Freemasonary to mention but a few.

Answer 11

I come right here to respond to questions directed at theists - like this one. "religious classification vendors are Theists in trouble-free terms". incorrect, religious classification proprietor is Yahoo company basically like quite a few different classification in this communicate board. there is not any thank you to maintain me away. The zeitgeist is changing. now may be the time to declare the victory of the Enlightenment. faith, like astrology, could be pushed to the margins of society and is very rightly disrespected in psychological verbal substitute.
