are atheists more sound in their belief?

Question

beliefs aren't limited to religion

Answer 1

Lets put it this way, I was raised a Xian, and spent the first 24 years of my life questioning the Truth of my beliefs. I never really bought into the whole concept and questioned even my Sunday school teachers. I was still a Xian after I got married. And when my husband was hospitalized following a bad car accident we were in, he was visited by a preacher. We took that opportunity to question him about some questions and doubts we had. We were honestly looking for answers we hoped he could provide. He practically ran out of my husband's hospital room, never to return. Soon after, we abandoned christianity. I held on to a loose belief system and called myself a Deist, mostly because I had difficulty letting go completely. We both continued to search for Truth. We read A LOT. We discussed A LOT. Finally, we both abandoned religion and the entire god concept completely. The Truth we did seek revealed itself in the form of REASON. I have since been an Atheist. And I've never looked back. Free at last, free at last! Finally, I am comfortable in my beliefs. That is: I believe there is no god, no afterlife, and no one controlling my destiny but me. I'm 45 now. So I've been an Atheist about half my life. I look forward to the day I turn 50. For it is that day I will take pride in saying, "I've been an Atheist MOST of my life."

Answer 2

Atheists are more open with their "beliefs" or lack of beliefs, because atheism is more prevalent in today's America. Christian life is hard. Staying away from temptation and telling the good news. Many Christians feel it is hard, because atheists never want to listen to what they have to say. And church is not weekly mind controlling reinforcement sessions. It is a way to nourish my mind with God. It is a choice to go to church. But in the Bible it tells us to stay in the word and to attend church. All of the people who never except Jesus into their hearts, will one day bow down in front of God, and have to admit that he is the One true God. And will be cast into the lake of fire.

Answer 3

I still see atheism as a lack of belief.

Maybe I see it this way because of having grown up a catholic and then casting off the chains of religious belief.

I feel liberated and a sense of not being tied to any sort of beliefs.

Answer 4

What? Aren't atheists required to attend Sunday morning brainwashing sessions? How then do they know what they are SUPPOSED to believe and to say and do?

Answer 5

Atheism is not believing it is knowing. Religion needs at least weekly re-enforcement of the faith, some are so backward they need to do it 5 times a day.

Answer 6

Maybe, the are such sound bloody arrogant Monkeys, looly motherfuckers, who think all this world happened by chance. I ain't a Christian but I think they go to Church every Sunday to pray to God and stuff.

Answer 7

To my mind it's apt to consider Gershwin's "Porgy & Bess" classic in that "It ain't Necessarily So", when one considers the implications of Your Statement/question. I find that four out of five Drampors agree!

Answer 8

I agree with Drampor, four out of five Drampors will agree that it ain't necessarily so!

Answer 9

I can behave in a "moral" manner without the fear of eternal damnation

yay me!

Answer 10

Those Drampors are spot on, it ain't necessarily so!
