Answer 1

Why do you fairytale believers insist on forcing your ridiculous beliefs on everyone else - p*ss off - I dont have time to talk to my ceiling and read fairytale books like that bible thing you morons brandish at everyone else.

Answer 2

That is the stupidest damn question. Why is it asked over and over by fools. In the first place let me just say it is imposable even an embezzle should realize that. A person can not force themselves to have faith. Secondly for the same reason you don't believe in unicorns. Or maybe that was a bad example maybe you do. Anyway for the same reason you shouldn't believe in pink unicorns. There is no proof or no logical reason for there ever having been a God. It is a fairy tale. Just something made up. There is no God to believe in. I stopped believing in Santa when I was six. If I started believing in fairy tails I would lose all creditability. If I buy one fairy tail why not another and another. I don't want to end up like you people afraid your Hobgoblin Satan will jump out and bite your butt if you dare to reason. Oh and if you are interested in a pink unicorn I do have a friend down in North Georgia who runs a heard. The sad existence is for you not for me. I am very happy living in reality.

Answer 3

I would lose honesty. The honesty that comes from looking at the world and knowing that the myths of the Bible are false. The honesty that comes from looking inside and knowing that the ethics actually stated in the Bible are evil.

You assume that non-believers have not read the Bible, but most have read it and have found it wanting. They are also more likely to know the historical context of the events portrayed in your religious book as well as the hstory of the book itself.

Faith is simply a way for believers to not have to really think about deep issues for themselves. They can simply take the word of their preacher and a bunch of superstitious folk a couple of thousand years ago.

Answer 4

Wow.... I was going to start in with the self-respect, but everyone else has beaten me to it.

I've tried and tried to make myself believe, or to try to understand why I don't. In the end I can't force myself to believe in something against my rational, logical nature.

And I have never believed... even when I was a very young child. I don't think I have lost or gained anything by my atheism. That is all part of the definition of atheist. If you intrinsically don't believe in God (esp. the Christian God) all of the other tenets of that religion have no effect on you either. So in the end: I do not gain by suddenly starting to believe a certain mysticism, while I will lose decades of disbelief and something that is part of my elemental nature. You can not change the basic fundamentals of your personality.

Answer me this: what do you gain by having faith in God?

*Kudos to mathematician below me. He's said the rest of what I would want to say.

Answer 5

>Why are athiests prejudice towards christians? Those that quite are towards christians are those who do not appreciate the suggestion of schooling competently. The wise, logical ones, like me, aren't towards christians more often than not, what we're towards is CHRISTIANITY. The faith itself is fake, however that does not imply its fans are unhealthy men and women, simply that they must be knowledgeable in order that they appreciate the Universe because it quite is. >What i've a promblem with are men and women who attempt to say that believing in god is pathetic. I feel their inspiration is that devout men and women suppose that even supposing they make errors and do immoral matters as soon as in a even as, in the event that they repent then their massive invisible pal will make the whole thing ok subsequently, and that even supposing unhealthy, nasty men and women are positive, it is not a tremendous deal in view that they will be punished finally besides. On the opposite hand, atheists need to be given a universe wherein there is not any divine forgiveness or punishment, wherein correcting the sector's wrongs is truthfully anything so we can by no means be performed for us, anything that we truthfully need to paintings for, in view that if we do not no person goes to come back aid us. And in a way they are proper. Believing in an all-robust, all-loving invisible pal feels so first-class, and it is so convenient whenever you abandon common sense and technological know-how. What's tricky is residing with the bloodless, rough fact. >There was once even a few who referred to as jesus homosexual. Before we begin speakme approximately Jesus's sexuality, allow's verify if he quite existed in any respect. >People who real suppose in god are trustworthy ...and that is precisely the crisis. Religious men and women placed their believe in anything there is not truthfully proof for. It quite is not sensible. I imply, if I placed my believe within the inspiration that a massive puffy cushion could look beneath me if I jumped off a cliff, men and women could name that loopy. But if I placed my believe within the inspiration that a massive invisible pal could convey me to Heaven after I smashed into portions on the backside of the cliff, men and women name that faith and one way or the other that is authorised as being ok and utterly sane. Get what I imply? >and a minimum of it suggests that you just suppose in anything higher then your self Wait a moment. So now the obstacle is whether or not or now not you suppose in a bigger being? Whatever occurred to the significance of BELIEVING IN THE TRUTH? I imply, it doesn't matter what in fact, whether or not God exists or now not, is not the inspiration to suppose what is actual? Think approximately it: If God did not exist (I'm hoping you're ready of imagining this type of situation), could or not it's bigger to suppose in that nonexistent God, or suppose within the fact?

Answer 6

I can understand where you re coming from, "if i believe, then at least if heaven is real then i can get in". The fact is that I hate getting lied to, all the evidence that i have seen so far in my life seem to say that there's no god, then you hear and see how religion plays a huge part in society... if its all a lie then no one will figure out until they cant do anything about it. In MY opinion its not real but everything they (Jesus, Moses etc) say is morally good, so just cut out the magic and follow the good stuff.

Answer 7

Ryan, did they pay you to post that question?
Just in case you didn't know, the atheists on this board have what they call "drinking games"....one of them is this: whenever they see a question that smacks of Pascal's Wager (like the one you posted), they all have a drink.
It's quirky, but they like it....and it gives them a hobby, I suppose. It definitely beats actually having to examine their faith...excuse me, lack of faith, I keep forgetting...and actually answer the question honestly. At least, they seem to think it does, anyhow.
Only, I suspect that they are beginning to post some of these questions themselves, just to have the excuse to take a drink.
Whatever works, I guess.....

Answer 8

(I AM NOT AN ATHEIST)

But, I am not Christian, I like to think of myself as a spiritual being living in a human experience...

I believe there is a higher power somewhere out there and that there is life after death...

Whether this means there is one God or more than one....

I believe God is too big for one Religion and that if he is as great as he is depicted to be, all go to heaven...

I do not go to Church, yet I pray, and I talk to God as if he were a friend that I haven't seen for a while...

Those that do not believe in a higher power, well, that is their opinion and I respect that... Cause if there is a God he will meet them in Heaven....

I hope this gives you some insight on what I believe :)

May the higher power, God, Gods, whoever it may be, be with you :)

Answer 9

As a Christian you should be aware faith in God is not simply words but true revelation which comes from God.

Answer 10

What do you have to lose by believing in whatever they tell you to believe?

The ability to think for yourself perhaps?

The truly sad existence is not living this life because someone told you there was another on to follow. What if there isn't??
