To my fellow Atheists, do you believe this day will ever arrive?

Question

The day when the poor masses can finally open their eyes to the truth and shake off the shackles of religion. The day when people can live free without the fear of a fictional, eternal place of damnation and religious oppression. The day when people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Benny Hinn, Louis Farrakhan, D. James Kennedy and Ayatollah Khomeini are relics of a forgotten myth

To answer your question, 7 of 9, no one is. But, I fear if the religious right gets its way that can all change.

Some of you are not understanding me. I don't want to force my beliefs down anyone's throat, but I don't believe a society can truly be free with religion. Religion is no longer about worship, it's about forced control.

Answer 1

that day will come o Humbert, that day will come

Answer 2

Ironic, since we Christians continually pray for a day when the eyes of the non-believers will finally be opened to the truth of Jesus and sake off the shackles of sin. We *could* call you ignorant, close-minded, and unenlightened because you can't grasp the concept of God. But we DON'T. I'm NOT calling you that now. I'm just holding up a mirror for you to realize how you sound to those who just happen to disagree with your views.

We know God and Jesus are real because we have the Holy Spirit in us. The day you are vainly hoping for will never come. God will triumph.

Romans 16:20 -- The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

2 Corinthians 2:14 -- But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

1 John 5:4 -- For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

Have a good day.

Answer 3

This day had actually arrived once but the end results were none too pleasing. The idea is largely unfeasible due to the fear of something like The Massacre at Vassy taking place again.

Answer 4

No .
Give the other side some well deserved credit for being good at what they do .
A simple fact of life is that true or not religion fulfills many more human needs than atheism does
While we as atheists may all believe that gods are a man made invention , to deny the very human need for such an invention is only slightly more pompous then your question.
The simple reality is that atheists will always be in the minority-get used to it.

Answer 5

I'm sorry, but when I was an atheist, I felt free to be a free thinker and christians did not bother me with what I thought was their brainwashed religion, so I did not feel the need to FORCE them to think the same way as I do. I do not unmderstand the Atheist in R and S section that feel the need to take away the freedom of this country and think the way that you do, hasn't atheism made you free that a christian shouldn't bother you??? I really don't get it. You are not brainwashed anymore, you are not under any spell, you are not indoctrinated, or mind controled, yet you still see the need to take away the freedom of what you call brainwashed christians who enjoy being brainwashed, what do you care anyways, as lonmg as you are free and happy. Who is forcing you into thinking like us, who is giving you twenty lashing for not reading the bible, or throwing you in prison for being an atheist, I think you are under the spell of persecution mania, and when I was an atheist I had no such persecution mania.

Answer 6

Why should it matter so much to us. Everyone has their choices....we can listen to whom we choose and filter out what we know and what we want to believe....are we taking a stand based more on pride and ego (I am right you are wrong) thinking...I am living where both sides of the fence live together...I do not know where you live or how you live....when some one does something that you or I do not believe in we can make choices at that point that either escalates the problem or it just basically goes away....when we choose to take put down militaristic stances we only add to the fuel that is there.....we need to open our eyes....

Answer 7

To me, it sounds like the TOWER OF BABEL all over again, God blesses us with science and resources to build and sustain a thriving society. All nations regardless of ethnicity are able to communicate fluidly and yet instead of raising our hands and falling on our knees to thank our Creator we choose to mock Him, disown Him, attempt to erase all memory of Him and finally erect some symbol to celebrate our wisdom that could collectively fit in a thimble.

Answer 8

In a logical progression of events, that day is inevitable. One day, the whole world will know that Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism were right, Taoism which predates Christianty by thousands and thousands of years. That Atheism, also predating Christianity by thousands of years, was also right. There is no Personal God, and allowing ourselves that scapegoat gives us license to kill in the name of poorly formed beliefs based on nonsense dogma and rhetoric.
As science advances, it'll become less and less possible for people to delude themselves into the Abrahamic religions, and one day, we Atheists will finally be the mainstream, no longer the object of persecution we've been for a number of thousands of years now.

Answer 9

No, but a day will come when the poor masses as you put it will open their eyes and see the truth that Jesus is real wether they choose to believe or accept it or not.

Phil. 2:10-11,
"that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

And they will do so ..period.

Answer 10

when will all the atheists wake up and accept the fact that there is someone out there that is greater than they are. when will they acknowledge their doomed fates. when will they see that their ridiclous ideas of evolution and big bang are entirely man made ideas, in order to make themselves feel all superior. people for thousands of years knew that there was an almighty god, you would think that with all the technology we have today, as far as we have come, that we would realize the truth, that god is still there, he didn't just disappear, he was always here. instead of progressing, our society is going backwards, believeing in man made myths, so they don't have to face the fact that there is a god, and one day they will be held accountable to him. but they can just explain him away, and come out thinking they are the smart ones who are so superior to us primitive thinkers who just can't let go, well i have news for you, people who believe, have a gift, they are blessed, they will enter heaven one day, they will never let that go. we aren't hurting anybody, real saved people don't hurt anyone, we don't wage war. terrorists do. because they are misguided. so i can care less, whats popular, whats in style, what new form of belief is cool today, i know where i'm going and i know where your going too, too bad you can't know for sure yourself, but i guess it's better that you don't know because, if you did know your fate, you couldn't bear it. i'll continue praying for all of your lost souls...may god bless you.

Answer 11

I hope so, altho Benny interests me.....Remember, Jesus said " faith is a poor substitute for action"..his heirs have carried on that belief.. and, Jesus loved brisket with a little horseradish sauce
