What are some of your favorite Atheist contradictions?

Question

Okay, they don't need any proof to swallow what it is they believe. And yet they deny that emphatically. So therefore they are in denial about something they have no clue of; that's not scientific.

So while they are espousing Atheism, they admit to being unscientific ( ipso facto), and therefore illogical to the Methods of Science. It's obviously important to them, many are here every single day preaching it.

They attribute logic to other things perhaps, but by definition they are irrational and faithful to their beliefs of God's existence.

I would not ask for logic from a people who are by definition wandering away from the very precepts they attest to, and yet living in the conflict of their own denial.

You cannot get a rational answer from such a person whose demeanor is set so deep in denial. They will rationalize their answers; some by avoiding the question, and some by denying the charge.

And yet, people in denial react by acting accused because they feel like they are under pressure. They feel guilty.

knyghtzero,
Are you sure you want to admit to being an Atheist after saying that?! lol

brother_manuel,
Yes. I was the one who wrote it.

fortunata,
Thanks for proving the last part of what I wrote correct.

Phoenix,
It doesn't stop at a definition once you habit this place, or any other Atheist that habits this place. Haven't you figured that out yet? You are acting like any other religion when you Atheists come here.

NICK D,
Typical rhetoric by the peanut gallery, Thanks.,

To all you hateful Atheists:
Just putting the shoe on the other foot. How does it feel? (Not very good by your answers! )
ROTFLMAO

FYI,
I was in no way ranting during the time I wrote this stuff. It was a post that I did before in answer to another question. So give yourselves a reality check - just because people disagree with you, and think that you are hypocrites, doesn't necessarily mean that they are ranting!

Answer 1

My favorite atheist contradiction is that they exist, but don't really have a valid explanation as to how or why. Even if you give them enough rope to accept their reason as to HOW they got here, ask them WHY? What is the meaning of life?
Most Christians can simply answer because God wanted a family. But WHY for atheists? What is the meaning of life to atheists?

Answer 2

I move my hand in front of my face and look at it. I think, how did I do that? I have a brain with a bundle of nerves running from it to my hand. But I wanted to move my hand. This is odd, I don't understand. I'm just matter. I'm just made up of a bunch of molecules yet I have a will and I can make this body of mine do stuff.

How bizarre! I'm a piece of earth but I'm animated! Since when does dirt get up and animate itself?

I enjoy designing software. I often admire those engineers who create robotic bio limbs for those people who have lost a natural limb.

Those engineers are designing something. Its a design! However cool and slick their end product works, its nothing like the one that they are replacing that was designed by the capital "C" Creator.

Answer 3

Was your reasoning inspired by God? It could be an addendum to the Bible itself! Perhaps you should wear a potato sack and walk around saying you are the new messiah.


Please find a contradiction in this:

Ethics is the branch of philosophy that studies the good. Once you know what the good is, you can form a moral code.

Religious ethics teaches that God tells us what the good is. You are moral if you follow what God tells you, even if it is irrational or if it contradicts reality.

In a rational philosophy the good is defined as everything that helps you to live and improve your life, without damaging someone else's life.

From this concept you get a rational moral code. In this code of morality, evil is everything that impedes you to live or detracts from your living better. This is how a thief commits an evil action because it detracts from someone's life.

Reason is the only tool that allows us to distinguish the real from the unreal, the true from the false, the just from the unjust, and the moral from the immoral.

We know that bad men do evil. But for good men to do evil, it takes faith!

Answer 4

Funny drivel.
*Okay, they don't need any proof to swallow what it is they believe. And yet they deny that emphatically. So therefore they are in denial about something they have no clue of; that's not scientific.
On the contrary, we don't believe because we have no proof. If there were proof, we would believe. Doing and not doing aren't the same sort of thing.
*So while they are espousing Atheism, they admit to being unscientific ( ipso facto), and therefore illogical to the Methods of Science. It's obviously important to them, many are here every single day preaching it.
Disproven in the previous statement. But we're 'preaching' reason so as to avoid a fundamentalist state, and to get the word out that religious thinking can be dangerous thinking.

The rest of it is based on the same faulty premise. Seriously, buddy, just take a step back. Stop believing in God and Christianity for six minutes while you digest the facts, and you'll see we're right.

Answer 5

With all the contradictions, I don't understand why people read it then try to say there aren't any contradictions.

Answer 6

Okay, they don't need any proof to swallow what it is they believe.

ME;
What the f*ck are you talking about? We are, first and foremost, skeptics. our beliefs are BASED on proof. we believe things AFTER we think about them, not before or instead of like you do.

YOU;

And yet they deny that emphatically. So therefore they are in denial about something they have no clue of; that's not scientific.

ME;
No, really seriously, what the f*ck are you talking about, what precisely are you referring to when you say "that'?
YOU;

So while they are espousing Atheism, they admit to being unscientific

Me;
no
you;

( ipso facto), and therefore illogical to the Methods of Science.

Me;
Logic is the MAIN thing I believe in. You, you don't seem to as much.
YOU;

It's obviously important to them, many are here every single day preaching it.

They attribute logic to other things perhaps, but by definition they are irrational and faithful to their beliefs of God's existence.

ME;
wait, what? you do know what an Atheist is, right? we do NOT believe in Gods. that's what the word means! Besides 'Faith' is a curse word to us. "Faith" is the closed-minded pig-headed refusal to think about things lest God punish you for having a brain. It leads to Theists saying things like "Nothing you say can convince me, I have faith in my god". "Faith" is WORSE than stupid. the Stupid simply lack knowledge. the Faithfull RESIST knowledge.
you;

I would not ask for logic from a people who are by definition wandering away from the very precepts they attest to,

ME;
you know, you make less and less sense the more you talk.
you;

and yet living in the conflict of their own denial.

You cannot get a rational answer from such a person whose demeanor is set so deep in denial. They will rationalize their answers; some by avoiding the question, and some by denying the charge.

ME;
ok, you're a hypocrite.
you;

Update: And yet, people in denial react by acting accused because they feel like they are under pressure. They feel guilty.

Answer 7

Favorite contradictions? Hmmm, how about the one where they get angry at Christians and ATTEMPT to somehow take away their faith by preaching so called proofs that God does not exist. Oh, and their normal spelling of "God" (It is wrong everytime you forget the capital 'G'), yet they criticize how Christians, supposedly, spell everything wrong. Oh, oh, oh...how about the one that says that Christians do not pay attention to science classes, yet they do not realize that their Big Bang theory is just a theory. Hahahahaha. My ribs are aching. XD

A so called skeptical atheist, right? This is what he posted in response to a "Psychic reading" (The second response):

In general, every time they sign a check, or simply, write down the date (They do not believe in the year of our Lord). Oh, and I wonder what they do on Christmas. Next time I go to a store during the Christmas season, I'll come up with data that shows at least one atheist Christmas shopping.

Master Maverick: You're funny.

Answer 8

There is no logical contradiction to not believing the obvious lies of religions. It takes a huge amount of denial to actually read the bible or koran and then pretend its not nonsense.

Answer 9

Atheist contradictions? Well aren't you the pot calling the kettle black...and slandering anyone who isn't as blind and ignorant as you...how sad. Easier for you to mindlessly shoot your mouth off than to engage in a debate with any amount of substance, is it?

No proof? I hate to break it to you, but there's plenty of proof supporting evolution. Ignoring it (or more likely, claiming that it's impossible because you don't understand it) won't make it go away.

"In denial about something they have no clue of"...complete and utter gibberish. Stringing insulting words together does not a valid argument make, my friend.

Why don't you explain to me what these atheist contradictions are, and why you feel that your religion is one of such great virtue? Until you manage that, all you're doing is blathering.

Added: Oh? Tell me, was it difficult to put the shoe on the other foot, with your head that far up your @$$?

Rudy: Well, since someone finally bothered to post actual contradictions...

The first one you provided was not a contradiction. And as far as I can see, if what you meant to say was that they get angry at Christians for trying to convert them, then try to convert the Christians, there is fault on both sides, and the contradiction is by no means limited to atheists. After all, the Christians were the ones insisting that others believe as they do, in the first place. (Not that two wrongs make a right, I’m just saying that the offense in question is not limited to atheists.)

Not bothering to capitalize God’s name does not compare to some of the spelling and grammar errors I’ve seen, more commonly from Christians than from atheists. Though to be fair, I have seen atheists who’ve made some rather atrocious errors, as well. Not surprisingly. It is as ignorant to say that you know there is no God as it is to say that you know there is one.

And if you’re not paying attention in science class, fine. Your loss. Yes, the Big Bang Theory is a theory. But unlike religion, it’s got evidence supporting it. That doesn’t make it a fact. Hell, I myself think they jumped the gun, on that one. It’s possible, but we don’t know nearly enough to say that that’s definitely how it happened. But like I said. Evidence. Real evidence. (Maybe all that not paying attention has rendered you unable to tell the difference between an educated guess and a random, irrational one.) That’s what science is all about. The search for truth. And next time you feel like criticizing it, try praying for light instead of using a light switch. Or pray yourself online, instead of turning on your computer. That’s the difference between science and religion. Science works.

Added: I see you've added more...well, now you're just getting ridiculous. The year is the year. It doesn't matter that it was based on religious beliefs. Some of us may not believe in Christianity, but that doesn't mean we don't believe in time. It's the year 2007. I can say that I believe the reason it is that year, is largely due to a myth, but that doesn't change the fact that our society has accepted it as the current year.

And Christmas? Don't make me laugh. You Christians stole that holiday from the pagans. There's plenty of debate about what time of the year Jesus was born, and it probably wasn't December 25. Ever wonder why Christmas and Easter are so close to the winter solstice, and vernal equinox, respectively? Pagan holidays. Until a bunch of Christians came along, and said, "We like what you're doing, we're going to steal it, and make it about Jesus." You've got no more right to celebrate it than any atheists. If you can take pagan holidays for whatever purpose you want, we can just as well use the same holidays for our own purposes. Unless you celebrate Christmas without decorating a tree or buying gifts, I wouldn't start to talk about other people contradicting themselves.

I'd take a look in the mirror, before talking about hypocrisy.

Answer 10

You really get off asking these questions, don't you? It's quite sad, really.

Anything we say here will be ridiculed or ignored by you, so there's no point in really giving you a serious answer. Yes, I am "avoiding the question" because to do otherwise would be pointless.

To the first answerer, it speaks volumes that you "needed" someone to put others down. It's sad that you need that to feel better about yourself.
