Wha-? Atheists don't believe in Satan either - how could an imaginary being plant thoughts into a person and "lead him away" from God? What if the person NEVER believed? Then he can't be lead astray. And why is rationality on the person's part (personally to him) negative to others (and assumingly the result of an evil god - aka Satan) if he's happy and not harming anyone else? Are babies controlled by the Devil? They're atheists too.

Thanks to the first answerer - so they say this about anyone different that the Bible is against in some way.

"You're either with them (with God) or against them (with the devil)"
That's what I assumed. Pity that they can't see outside the box in this particular context.

Babies don't believe in God - they are taught theism. So naturally they are in the default position.

It's not just atheists. They say the same thing about gays, Muslims, Jews, even other Christians and anyone else who dares have a different point of view.

betel: An atheist is simply, a non-believer in God. There is nothing wrong with a atheist because that's who he or she is. It is God's prerogative to reveal Himself to whom He chooses (see: John 6th chapter, verse 44) . Satan has no say in who God the Father draws to Himself. A non-believer is just that - a non-believer; whereas, a Christian is a believer - both, equally loved by God. Atheists will have his or her opportunity to become a believer when God decides it time for it. (see: Second book of Corinthians, chapter 3 , verses 13 through 16) . God describes this lack of acknowledgment of Him as a "veil" being placed across their eyes ("heart") and He will lovingly move to remove it from them in both, their turn and time. Satan doesn't even factor into the "equation". Some Christians have some very bad theology out there.

It could be that, but not necessarily that. I think that those who are Atheists that spend night after night here are either being led by God to notice how foolish they are being, or led by the devil to spend so much time on something they don't believe in. Look how wasteful they are being otherwise! They have only this life to live, and they are wasting it on religious nuts like me! Sheesh!

Things like that make me not want to be a Christian. I believe in god and Jesus but, I cant stand all the hatred. Didn't Jesus tell us to love our fellow man or something like that before.

You have to understand that, for many Christians, the only way to explain anything is God or the devil.
You're either with them (with God) or against them (with the devil). That's all they've got.

Babies are incompetent, illogical, and do not realize their parents say "no" for a reason.... So as you say, if babies are Atheists, then Atheists must be incompetent, illogical and rebellious.... Yes they may be cute sometimes, but they crap all over themselves and need someone else to clean it up. Yes, that is what Atheism is.
And no, you don't have to be worshiping the devil to be walking his path... You just have to be neglecting or fighting God to be walking his path.

That's because they believe there is no neutral ground; you are on one side or the other.
