Is atheism a delusion?

Question

Are those who believe:

that there is no God just because they don't see him physically;

that there is no higher power to whom they are accountable;

that people can basically do whatever they want without any certain consequences (because it APPEARS to be the case);

that there are no moral absolutes because it is more convenient that way for many;

in a state of delusion?

Answer 1

GOD chooses who He wants to guide. GOD will guide and give more to the ones who ask for His help. GOD will give even more and more to the ones who pray to only Him.

28:68 AND [thus it is:] thy Sustainer creates whatever He wills; and He chooses [for mankind] whatever is best for them. [74] Limitless is God in His glory, and sub­limely exalted above anything to which they may ascribe a share in His divinity!

Answer 2

Point one, it's not to do with seeing him physically, it's about there not being a shred of evidence for him.
Point two, it's a pretty shakey moral standpoint to account for your actions if it's only because you feel you're accountable to a "higher power".
Point three, see point two.
Point four, Morality is not a matter of absolutes and furthermore, it is rather those that regard it in those terms that find it convenient.
The delusions lie in blind faith. Some people wish to question and test ideas, moral and otherwise, rather than simply accept what they've been told.

Answer 3

I thought you might need a decent answer in this column among the babbling. An atheist doesn't believe in anything because they want to know it all. They were probably pretty bad in History class too. I've never heard anything an atheist had to say that made any sense at all. I mean it's just so out there. Funny to me that every time you try to give them evidence of God, the only thing they have to say ,is something rude and off the wall. Don't they all have a big surprise waiting for them!

Answer 4

I guess that living a life with no consequences would be easier..not anywhere nearly as fulfilling! Accepting the Truth and living by the Word of God isn't easy, but in the end it is worth it! To know that you are always going to be with God and where you are going to be after your body dies that your soul will never die! WOW that's something that is worth whatever it take to get!
The people whom believe that God isn't real will more than likely not like my thoughts and that's ok they don't have to. But I pray that all those people find God and the Truth! before its to late for them!

Answer 5

You can't have an opinion on something that you don't understand, and from the looks of it, your doing what most people do. You're discriminating on people who are different from you without understanding them , and look where it's gotten Christians so far: more wars than anyone can count. And Christians are supposed to be the all loving ones. By the way, most atheists DO have morals.

Answer 6

YOu believe in god even when there is no physical evidence. Who is dealing with a full deck here. I am accountable to myself. Yo may need some one to tell you what is right and what is wrong, I do not. I live morally because i choose to. You do APPAERNTLY because you are under threat not to, from a fairy tale no less. Who is delusional?

Answer 7

God is just so conveniet in explaining how we got here ... "Faith is the great cop out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence for yourself. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. "

And morals are somthing that comes from humans themselves ... emotion, empathy, and personal experience is where morals come from ... not some imaginary wizard in the sky.

Answer 8

Nope. we're not those with the superb concept in a divine supernatural creature. the only reason we've not locked up each and all of the Christians interior the looney bin is with the help of the fact to instruct medical fantasy, you will desire to instruct that the object of the fantasy would not exist. have faith me, if we could disprove God's life, we would have grounds to have each theist committed to an asylum. yet we can not greater instruct God's non-life than you could instruct that He DOES exist.

Answer 9

Certainly it is NOT!

Actually religion is a delusion how can grown adults still believe in imaginary beings that can not been seen?

Answer 10

I know! I know! Those delusional bastards keep telling me the Singing Green Elephants from Mars are fake, too!
