Christians, me being an Atheist, am I right about you? Read this?

Question

If these statements aren't true, explain how?

1. Believing in God is like spending your entire life in jail waiting to see the judge

2. Simply believing the devil exist causes an unplesent feeling

3. Feeling attacked just because someone says "God is fake" is being in a very bad position

4.Feeling the need for God to watch over you is like thinking something or someone is always out to get you.

5.Christians are taught that they're nothing without God. So you spend your entire life thinking you're nothing without being accompanied?

6. Christians are taught that nobody's good. So they think they're living in a world where everyone's bad. Sounds like hell to me

Answer 1

1. Christian are free of the coming judgment. I guess you are the ones waiting for that day since you know you will die.. Christians already have eternal life...
2.Greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world.
3. Believe as you will it doesn't effect me you have already been told about the gift of life. You hardened heart is still serving sin or you would be so hateful and concerned about the light and life that is Christ.
4. Always having God with you means He is out to get you???
I am just a stupid Christian. I don't understand why having your best Friend with you a person who cares more about you than anyone who has ever or will ever live make them out to get me...
5. We don't compare ourselves with other people but with the true scale.. That is God. In that comparison we fall way, way short. All of us do.. If we were to start comparing to each other or to the men of the world we might get proud.. That would be a sin...
6. The above answer answers this one too. Stop looking to see if you are better than those around you. Use a higher standard and you will see that you fall short too... Jim

Answer 2

Nope - you are totally wrong on all your points.

Looks more like your feelings that any facts.

#1 Jail is much worse. Non-believers fear the idea of a judgement.
#2 Huh? Why, when God created Lucifer, not the other way around???
#3 I don't feel attacked.
#4 That is paranoia, God watches whether they feel the need or not. He's watching you.
#5 Spend entire life thinking I am nothing without God? I don't think so. I find out much more about myself WITH God.
#6 Not true - you have confused this with "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - even Christians.

Answer 3

1. don't feel as though i am spending my life in a jail cell. actually feel freer than i ever have.
2. the devil doesn't cause me any unpleasant feelings as i do not let him into my life.
3. i am attacked by worse than people not believing in the same way i do. (those pesky mosquitos for example)
4. God watching over me and mine is a feeling of peace of mind not paranoia.
5. oh i am something without God. but because of God i am even better.
6. i was brought up with the teaching that there is good in everyone but sometimes we have to look real hard to find that goodness.

it is not hell at all. if you think it is then that is because you believe it to be so.

Answer 4

God is Love. it is as simple of that.
1. God is the best judge you'll ever have - you repent (sincerely apologize) for your sins and His reply is: It is already forgotten

2. When Jesus died of the cross, God's ultimate sacrifice of Love, He won for us VICTORY over the devil and God's word is our weapon for when he tries to come around- i don't know about you - but if i'm already garunteed a win- I say BRING IT ON!

3. I apolgize for anyone who has ever wronged you or hurt you because you expressed your God given right of freedom-
to think, feel and speak the way your heart and mind lead you- and i pray that one day you will know the length and depth of the Love of Jesus

4. Or that someone's got your back- someone that not even the the most evil being on earth could defeat. Plus- it never hurts to have friends in HIGH places!

5. we are created in the image of god- unlike the birds and the bees and the coconut trees, God thought of us as His greatest creation- go look in the mirror - we are the face of a living God! Think of it as a blank canvas, without the artist to breathe life, fill it with colors, imagination, creativity, it is a piece of clothe on a board, but after the masterfull hand of the artist fills it with his thoughts, his color, his life, well it just takes on a different identiy, now instead of art it's called a masterpiece
6. God is the creator of all things good, God is good, He can't create bad. Did you know that the original design for the world was the garden of eden? No pain, no worry, one on one with God- but then the devil decided that if he couldn't live in peace- noboby else should have it either (sound familiar?) so he stirred things up a little bit, and eve fell for his decption and the rest is history--

I truly pray that you find the true unconditional love (that's the no matter what kind) of God. That the lies of the devil no longer keep you bound and imprisioned, and that the truth of God's love sets you free.

Answer 5

1. I have never felt my life was a jail, and I am not afraid of meeting the judge. He's a personal friend.
2. Yes, it is unpleasant to contemplate the devil. That's why I'm glad I have Jesus for an ally. Because of Him, I don't have to fear the devil.
3. I am well aware people say, "God is fake." It would be hard to miss on Y/A. God is big enough to handle it. He doesn't need me to protect Him.
4. Yes, I do feel the need for God to watch over me, and I'm not ashamed of it. If you're mighty enough to stand every trial and adversity in life alone, good for you. I don't want to. But because He is watching over me, I don't have to worry someone is out to get me. Because no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
5. God is the maker and sustainer of my life. I literally am nothing without Him.
6. Nobody's good? More like nobody's perfect. There is good in nearly everyone. Sometimes you just have to look hard to see it. Trying to find the good in even the most unpromising people is something Jesus has told us to do. In conclusion, I have joy and peace in my life, and fear virtually nothing. Not death, hell, nor judgment. If that's your idea of hell, so be it. You're entitled to your opinion.

Answer 6

1. I suppose that that is correct if you choose to view it that way.
2. Yes,yes it can at times.
3. Which is why you shouldn't feel "attacked".
4. Whether you like it or not someone is out to get you.
5.Say what now?
6. This world sucks at times,but we make the best that we can of it.

You see,all that you have said can be true if you choose to take the religion in a pessimistic light. Cheer up emo kids,it'll all be ok.

Answer 7

What if you were born good- lived good - died good, will that satisfy your soul.

But, you missed out on living good, so are you not glad there is a savior to let you overcome that??????

To be sure you understand the need for your salvation, your creator considered you born bad- so you will not be mislead.

If you don't like these conditions - go and worship Buddha - whose ultimate goal is to send you to NIRVANA - which means complete disappearance from all existence ( the same as the lake of fire in the Bible).

Their best is the worst you can get in the Bible.

Answer 8

1. No, Jesus set the captives free.
2. No, greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world.
3. The fool in His heart says there is no God.
4. God watches me because He loves me; His word tells me I am the apple of His loving eye.
5. Jesus said "without me you can do nothing". Believe what you like, I believe Him.
6. "There are none good". That is right. I am a sinner and my sin has been cleansed by my faith in Jesus Christ.

Sounds like hell to you? You have no idea what hell is going to be. I pray God have mercy on you and show you who His son is!

Answer 9

1. more like a prized pet seeking approval from the master
(really makes the tail wag)
2. on the contrary, makes you more joyous for the grace of God
3. not attacked, but in a query as to how you can show the way
4. more like "footprints in the sand" when we need to be carried
5. because WITHIN God there are no limits to what you are
6. could be hellish without God showing the way, but think
that hell has unfathomable things to offer

Answer 10

I disagree with 3 and 6. I wasn't taught that everybody is bad nor do I feel attacked when somebody says God is fake.
