Why do athiests deny the divinity of their creator?

Answer 1

I am an atheist. I believe that I just arrived here like a flower or a baby kitten out of pure hazard or chance through a universe that just happens to be here by hazard or chance.

I do not like the idea of being told (by a bunch of old men almost two thousand years ago, that I must believe without seeing. I like to try to find reasons for the things it is possible to find reasons for, not the things that impossible to know.

Don't get me wrong. There are very few questions that cannot be answered but "does a creator exist?" is one of them. Of course, one day we may find, out but I don't think it will be through any long involved thought process of our own. We will be informed by the Creator himself/herself, if one exists. Who knows, perhaps it was some Aliens who brought us here. Will you bow down before them and worship them as as your creators? Will you bow down before the men who are able to create clones? Really! Just another product of evolution with a little help from an evolving man.

There have been many so called creators in the past, but pure chance can be called by any other name like Zeus or God, or Gaia. In the meantime, what a wonderful, beautiful world we inhabit. It's too bad We are such good creators of pollution.

Answer 2

In my personal experience I have found two reasons for this attitude;

1. They have had religion pushed on them so much as children that when they grew up and saw the gross hypocracy in today's 'christianity' , that they cannot bear the thought that there could possibly be a 'god' that would allow such gross injustice, hatred, crime, violence, pain, war, disease,etc... in the world as there is today. So it is easier by far to believe that there IS no god , that we are here by some bizarre chance of the universe and thus, we are responsible to no one or nothing for our existance.

2. My other theory is that those who refuse to believe in an all powerful creator of the universe, is that these folks have too much of an ego to believe that there could be someone or something 'out there' that could possibly be greater than THEY are. Its a whole self-love thing. They just can't see past their own wonderfulness to think outside the box that they have built for themself in which they are king.

Answer 3

I think they deny the creator entirely, not just the divinity of said entity. Unless you're talking about their parents.

Answer 4

Why do you deny the divinity of Zeus? Ahura Mazda? And at least 2800 other gods? What made you decide that a character in a certain book is "your creator" besides indoctrination from an early age?

Answer 5

I don't deny divinity I deny the existence of any gods.

Answer 6

We do even better than that. We deny that there is a creator.

Answer 7

Because the divinity is impossible for a being that is beyond comprehension if he actually exist in the first place. Therefore he cannot be divine or have any other human trait placed on him by man.

Answer 8

deny their what? I had a mom and dad.
What I don't believe in is your creator. I bet you can't even give me a good definition of what your God is.

Answer 9

I'm not sure about the Atheists. However all the Gods and Goddesses are divine in one aspect or another. If your talking about the minor God the Christians worship, I can't be sure he has any true aspects as the books written about him have been so scrambled by his worshipers egos.

Answer 10

I've seen no evidence for the existence of a creator, while there is evidence against it.
