you athiests can't follow your own belief. ref. athiests, deforestation,..posted 1hr. ago?

Question

There's no q. here.
If man is a product of evolotion,
IT LOGICALY FOLLOWS
everything he does is part of that, and therefor natural.
What else could it be?

If God created everything we know, and man (a spiritual being) rebeled and screwed things up, even if God knew it would happen, it is still the result of mans rebellion and therefor not God's doing.

included in this is the FACT taht God has redemed man for him self. In the end, this dream world you live in won't matter anyway. All that will matter in eternity will be if you knew and were known by God.

If what I know to be true were, as you asert, false, it still does'nt matter because, in that case, we are decendents of prehistoric mud and are no better than the flew virus.
and when we distroy ourselves none of this will matter and infact why should it now? There is nothing but artificial meaning to life, which we, for what ever reason, have
created.

Answer 1

Well ask any existentialist and they will tell you that it matters because they think it does.
I completely agree with you that all human action, if we are a product of evolution, is entirely natural. It is prescisely for that reason I get a tad annoyed when people start claiming that the things we do or the way we live is un-natural. Technically what is natural just is....
You are also asserting your opinion as fact, which never helps in a reasoned debate. However, man as a free thinking creation of God is no different then man as a free thinking individual, save for his belief in God.

I'm not sure where the deforestation issue comes in , but I will assume you are trying to make the leap from: Everything we do is natural...to..We should therefore have no problems with deforestation, etc....
This argument, whilst interesting, is entirely in ignorance of humanitys ability to attatch value to things, to create their own moral code, and to change their own actions.
If deforestation is a part of our evolutionary heritage, then so is the urge to stop it....You cannot simply point out that everything bad we do is natural, and omit the good.

On a final note if, as you say, there is nothing but artificial meaning to life it must be pointed out that we all percieve the external world through our own, entirely unique and singular viewpoint, and that reality is exactly what we percieve it to be. So to any individual their beliefs, no matter how artificial, are entirely real and valid. To them at least, and that is all that matters.
Not sure what the point of the question was, but long story short: Most atheists have no problems following their own belief, they just have to be of the more intelligent variety.

Answer 2

You seem not to understand that atheists can be moral, just as "believers" can turn to evil. Not everything we do is "natural" because it is a part of "evolution."
Perhaps if you learned to spell, and then to form cogent, rational propositions instead of ranting your opinions, you could lose some of your anger and be at peace with what you believe, and leave others alone.
