Why do you think Atheism is growing through-out the world?

Question

What do you think of this person's view?
It started when Jesus took the throne in heaven;
AD 1896, the 3rd Millennium.
And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels
fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels
fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they
lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled
down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan,
who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the
earth, and his angels with him
"But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil
has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury, because he knows
that his time is short."
(REV. 12:7-17)

Pick up an history book and read the rest of the story.
Probably the bloodiest century on record. Not just all
the wars, but the wholesale slaughter of the brethren;
12,000,000 or more in Europe alone.
By destroying Christians and Jews, Satan believes he
can thwart G-D's plans.

Answer 1

God is winnowing the wheat and the chaff. This can be seen by not only the rise in atheism, but the widening gap between the two as well. Read why this is here...

Don't worry. God saw this and it is all part of the plan.

Answer 2

So... you arbitrarily picked 1896 as a point in time when a dragon landed on earth and started killing people?... The prevalence of bloodshed couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that there was a much greater available ammount of blood to spill than in previous generations I suppose... And the devil kind of lost interest in anything other than what is a minor skirmish on the grand scale now in the last 50 years I guess... All this sounds logical to me.

Answer 3

Short version:

He's an idiot.

Long version:

The reason it's one of the bloodiest centuries on record is because we had better means of communication, transport and, frankly, killing each other.

However:

If you want a really bloody century then check out the Eleventh. Or the Twelfth. Or Thirteenth.

You get the picture.

Answer 4

Atheism is growing because the boundaries of ignorance are being constantly pushed back---We now know the earth is round---not flat & standing on pillars as the Bible asserts--we can now measure the microwaves from the "Big Bang"--we now have the fossil proof of evolution-& although people are still being killed in the name of God---that excuse is wearing very thin--as we can see from Bush's poll numbers--Both Hitler & Bush claimed to kill to honor God--we are not going to put up with that crap any longer!!

Answer 5

"It started when Jesus took the throne in heaven;
AD 1896, the 3rd Millennium...."

I stopped reading after the first two sentences, all BLAH BLAH religious stories. Maybe atheism is growing because people are becoming more intelligent to religion, being it only a form of social control.

Answer 6

Yeah, i've got observed that! yet another element i've got observed, is that as there are fewer and much less PIRATES, there is further and extra worldwide WARMING! of course, pirates decrease our carbon footprint! Correlation=/=causation. a million. Crime is lots up That'd be by fact we don't do adequate for welfare. many human beings in the U. S. are impoverished. for this reason, they turn to crime to proceed to exist. perchance if the non secular establishments in the U. S. weren't exempt from tax, that funds ought to circulate someplace-- to the detrimental. 2. maximum atheists i comprehend are very lots anti-racism. The Bible helps slavery, you comprehend. additionally, bigotry incorporates hate crimes against LGBTs. properly, maximum homophobes i comprehend use the Bible to justify their hatred of gays and lesbians. 3. properly, of course they do no longer persist with the Bible. that's why they are atheists. They nonetheless have their very very own experience of right and incorrect, nonetheless, and because maximum cities in the U. S. have been based on non secular concepts, their experience of right and incorrect continues to be guided by something corresponding to the Bible. 4. What does this ought to do with Atheism? i presumed it had to do with human beings paying for homes on hypothesis. Christians purchase homes on hypothesis too, you comprehend :) 5. i've got on no account seen that. i like anybody ^_^ i do no longer blame all the worldwide's problems on faith-based conflicts, which i ought to do if I felt for this reason susceptible, so, please, do no longer try in charge the worldwide's problems on atheism :)

Answer 7

Isn't the human imagination wonderful ? All this "war in heaven", "angels and dragons ", that started back in the super-superstitious medieval days, refuses to go away. This is the twenty-first century. Fairy tales are great for the kids, but they should be taught that they are just fairy tales.

Answer 8

Because people are not being sucked into the claptrap of the Bible... Soon Christianity and the other false religions of the planet will be exposed for what they are and people will move on as the age of enlightenment is upon us.. Love and light... BB.. )O(

Answer 9

Because there are many alternatives out there that seem much more logical than "God spake it into existence." While I do believe it was all created, I can see how there can be disbelief. There's just not enough proof for some people.

Answer 10

Jesus took what throne in 1896?

you neglect to mention the population explosion of the 20th C... more people were born than have ever died. technology makes it easier to kill en masse, but it also saves/prolongs more lives.

it's easy to wrap vague, nonsensical prophesies around anything; that doesn't make them accurate.

maybe it's time to live responsibly rather than pretend angels or demons are playing chess with us.

Answer 11

Atheism is growing because people reject such extraordinary explanations as you have given, for which there exists no evidence outside of a psychologically disturbed mind.
