A question for atheist?

Question

How can a created being say there is no creator?

Answer 1

I have a creator, I call them mom and dad

Answer 2

Well, either this is a subtle 'first cause' argument, or you're begging the question.

Who created the creator? Positing the existence of an eternal being answers the question, but how did that thing get there? Is the supposition of an immortal, omnipotent being more reasonable than an infinite regression of events? Who's to say that the 'first cause' is actually the Christian God and not Allah or Ygg or Gamera's great-uncle?

Answer 3

Before I answer your question, will you please explain to me why you don't use the plural form of the noun "atheist?" Is it because you want only one atheist to answer you?

Now, as to your question: Notice that you begin with the assumption that the "created being" says there is no creator.

Here's the problem you're having: You assume that atheists believe that they are created beings. They don't believe that they are created beings, you believe that. You are confusing what you believe with what they believe.

It's a common problem. Humans are prone to think that everyone believes what they believe. What you have to do is a bit of a thought experiment.

For example: What if I asked you: "What do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?"

You'd probably tell me that I was silly, thinking that a grown-up believes in Santa. You'd say that because you don't believe in Santa. Santa is not capable of bringing your things for Christmas because Santa does not exist.

An atheist does not see himself as a "created being" because he does not believe that the creator exists.

See? Easy!

Answer 4

I'm not a created being ! Anymore lame questions that was too easy! and there is no creator! Why even assume the incredulous I thought that was meant for primitive men .

Answer 5

There is a creator. One's parents. Before that, there were more primitive animals, before that, bacteria and single-celled organisms. Before that, elements that began to interact. How can one base their life around a concept that has never been proven and only exists in fairy tales? What makes you think that your God is real, when everyone else thinks their God is real? Why do people think the Greeks were crazy for worshiping their Gods, yet the God figure that people believe in now is real? If we were created by God, then who created God?

Answer 6

We evolved. I do not believe that I was created. Who created the creator?

Answer 7

you question has no logic whatsoever
of course i was created but the only thing to say it was some almighty god type dude is a bunch of letters compiled into a book
i believe that it was created by the big bang it may have been god but those chances are .00000000000000000000000001 in 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 ok....

Answer 8

I am not an atheist, but I can hear the answer coming to me as if one is speaking to me now.

Because I don't believe being created is a spiritual concept.

Answer 9

Well, in order to answer your question, I would have to be a created being. Since I'm not, it's moot.

Answer 10

I evolved...

I believe it's possible for life to develop without a devine being creating it. Our planet was formed from matter from a destroyed galaxy, the make-up of the planet allowed organisms to form, those organisms evolved into more developed species, like monkeys...and, thanks to natural selection, here we are!
