how much yall wanna bet these athiest are gonna get p!$$ed!!! lol, its so funny gettin them mad!!

what the frick are yall talking about? i made 1 typo!!

Answer 1

First of all, most atheists don't say that. We don't believe in gods because there is no evidence that they exist.

Secondly, the world is no worse off today than it was in the past. In many cases, it is much better, since Christians can no longer get away with slaughtering people and burning witches because they have different beliefs. You just HEAR about more stuff these days, with the internet and 24/7 cable news coverage, so it SEEMS like more.

Answer 2

My Magic *8* Ball says... outlook uncertain....and.... do pigs have wings.

I who have been at both extremes of the spiritual spectrum and do not pigeon hole people the way you do, thinks you have much to learn.
I go by Mysticathiest because there is a wide spectrum or belief and doubt.
The world is not simple black/white all good all bad.

I am not at all angry & find your attempt to make me angry with your childish insults to be laughable. Oh! By the way you made more than one typo and your punctuation could use some help too.
Try again.
You can blame the errors on god if you like.

Answer 3

The question you are asking doesn't quite make sense. I know very few atheists who say that the ills of the world are because God does not exist. I think you would be better off asking an atheist why they don't believe before you assume.

Moreover, there have always been societal and worldwide ills. We simply have a media that is everywhere. We have globalization. We have the internet. We are more informed to the ills now. But things have always been this way. It is simply more publicized.

As for typographical errors, you have at least six errors. And yes, using the letter "u" to spell the word "you" is an error.

I guess that you are quite young. You have much to learn, young one.

Answer 4

i m not a christian. but i wud like to say that i was an atheist once. but i thot that b/c i just didn't think there was a stronger all migthy being out there. so thas what i thot. but then when u think about it, god is what humans named this being. maybe it isn't god, but maybe teh name's "it" or something. n generally when u think about it, god doesn't have to be there physically. maybe he's or she's just a form of energy, or a white light. and as for all the bad things in the world. well, maybe this is god's way of saying that something needs to change. plus if there weren't any bad things happening n only good things, then how was life to go on w/o any adventures or mysteries, or even grievances to think about. all in all, god doesn't necessarily have to be a he, it cud be a she, n nobody knos if his/her name is god or anything, n perhaps he doesn't have a physical body, but he's always there.

Answer 5

I find this highly offensive.

Most atheists have their own specific reasons why they are athiests. My whole family is catholic, and I'm a non-believer, and its NOT because there are bad things going on in the world--I simply find it easier to grasp the concept of reincarnation and science better than a higher force...

So I'm not a "full" athiest because I believe in reincarnation. It's close enough to me.

Do I make fun of you because you believe? No. Do I make jokes about how "those Christians" are going to be "pissed" when I decide to insult them about what they believe? No. Do I think Christians are the cause of the bad things going on in the world? No.

Leave others be. World peace is better than fighting about religion.

Answer 6

The common Christian idea of a God really can't be reconciled with evil in the world. Christians generally believe that God is all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing. He knows all evil that is happening, he is able to prevent it, and he wants to prevent it. And yet we have evil. This implies many things. Perhaps God is evil, or not all-powerful, or not all-knowing. Perhaps God wants to test our faith. Perhaps God doesn't exist at all.

To illustrate to you just how old the problem of evil is (and it has still not been answered adequately), here is a quote from the Greek philosopher Epicurus:


Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Answer 7

I don't think that you understand Atheism. I have never said, nor am I an Atheist because bad things happen. It's people who do 'bad' things in this world (all Christians, Jews, and Muslims) not Atheists.

Atheists believe that people are responsible for their actions, not the 'Devil' (oooh).

I am an Atheist because I haven't let the brainwashing of a 'book' from 2000 years ago define what I can and can't do. I am an Atheist because I see to many flaws in religion, and because it is just what my brain tells be to believe. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with me, I have morals because I want to be a humanitarian not because I want to go to some afterlife.

You believers are all brainwashed.

Answer 8

that would be a silly argument to make. God does not exist because there is a difference between reality and fantasy. That line exists no matter how things are going in the real world, though when things are going poorly, more of the weak willed people flee to the comforting myths of religion.

Answer 9

I don't think this is even worth a respose, but here it is...

First off, the "e" comes before the "i" in atheist. Secondly, it's okay to use the plural form when you are talking to more than one person.

I find it funny that Christians are consistently asking questions, later adding additional details that "Oh, I love getting the atheists mad," or something to that effect. Do you really think your God would approve of you making anyone get mad? Do you think it proves your point by pointing out that atheists get flustered because of your severe lack of knowledge coupled with your ignorance?

I suggest you start learning, if that's at all possible with the mind you were genetically dealt.

Answer 10

Better prove there is a God first, before you claim things are all peachy and attribute that to him.

Even with God's direct attention things don't get too good: Elijah kills 42 children with she-bears just for laughing at his bald head, or God slays hundreds of Hebrews as punishment for David's sin, etc. Remember, God cops to MAKING evil (Isaiah 45:7). If it's all the same to you, I'd rather he not cast his eye in my direction or bad stuff will happen even if he LIKES me.

We are Atheists. We are NOT robotic weathervanes who praise God when things are going well and curse him when things are going badly. Invisible beings don't determine our fate, only our human actions can, and the spread of Atheism, even if they are not in a majority, spreads reason and science and increases human comfort. You can go on being religious but you can benefit from our Atheist advances in science and government and law. Our backs are wide; we'll carry you all, no problem!
