Answer 1

Most atheists (on yahoo answers) seem to be pretentious, condescending, sycophants, who delight in ingratiating themselves and their frail little ego (the "devil").

As many know, the ego is simply a gaping hole that constantly needs to be filled. The easiest and most rudementary way (as well as childish) is to condesend to others so to make themselves feel in some way superior.
Of course, it is that very act, that shows us most clearly the "nature of the beast".

Naturally those things that do not apply to their adherence of the laws and logic of man, will cause a severe disturbance to their conscious and subconscious which is so dependent upon claiming itself to be the ultimate source of knowledge.

I believe most of them had some negative experience in relation to religion and/or faith at some point in their lives, so they become resentful (much like a child who doesn't get what they want, or cant figure out something in school that the rest of the class has figured out).

Many also make the mistake of equating religion to G-D, when religion, in many cases, is simply a bastardization of the laws of G-D, which can be likened to the laws described in quantum physics.

They are frail creatures whose egos need to be coddled like babies.

In the world outside of yahoo answers, many of the above also holds true, but I am sure there are some that are seeking, yet simply have not found or recognized the experience that would allow them to see the big picture.

For many breaking out of the fragile eggshell of a reality that they have constructed for themselves, is a very frightening proposition.

Better to be like water my friends, be like water.

Answer 2

Hello, my Muslim sister. The person who blocked you wasn't an atheist, but a Christian. However, if he had blocked you, you would not have been able to post his question in a link, I don't think. Perhaps he just turned his email off?

Anyway, as for your answer. Perhaps the impression he got from it is that you were justifying what bin Laden and al Qaida have done, by saying that the U.S. trained them (which is true, to an extent, I've said since 9/11 that bin Laden is our monster). I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, that that's NOT what you meant, but because people think so poorly of Muslims as a whole right now, they might see it that way.

It is true that in the 1980s (before you were born) bin Laden was given money and aid to fight the Russians for us. You have to remember that the Cold War had not yet ended, and the biggest perceived threat to the U.S. was Russia. At that time, the philosophy was "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." It's something that's been used for a long time, and NOT just by the U.S. We made a mistake in trusting bin Laden. I'm sure that those who were in charge at the time regret it deeply.

I do admire that you said that bin Laden is an extremist, but a lot of people complain that Islam as a WHOLE has not condemned the actions of the terrorists. A few have, but not enough.

Even our so-called "allies" (*cough* Saudi Arabia *cough cough*) are doing nothing to alleviate the situation with terrorists.

I don't hold this against you as an individual, though. I've met a lot of Muslims, and most of you are good people, even if I don't agree with your religion.

Answer 3

No. Many atheists are intelligent people who just don't believe the way YOU do. That person was obviously under educated and inable to engage in a logical discussion.

I am not Muslim,nor Christian nor Jewish.

These faiths themselves in and of themselves represent wonderful thought processes and contain MANY wisdoms and examples of how to treat each other.

They also contain many contradictions.

The FOLLOWERS of these BIG 3 from The Middle East however tend to twist and manipulate these wonderful books into weapons to further solidify something they can never be absolutely sure of until they are dead and standing in front of which ever god they might believe. They continuously try to convert those who have other ideas of beliefs,and THAT is wrong.

The bottom line is this...you believe your way...and I'll respect you for it.

I'll believe MY way and you respect ME for it.

Athiests believe thier way we should respect them for it.

This would be a wonderful place if everyone had the decency to respect our differences instead of attacking them.

Answer 4

The fact is that we should never generalize any person or any faith.

This is basically one of the first lessons that we are taught as children, no matter where we are from or how we were raised.

Treat people how we would like to be treated!
Respect each other!

I think these are lessons that all of us no matter where we are from that our parents teach us.

As adults we forget even these simple play yard rules.

The same goes for making generalizations, there is no respect in generalizations and no one wants to be treated that way.

Answer 5

The statement "the US trained them" did the job of him sending the message and blocking you.

Your answer is not decent because of the above mentioned statement you used.

Answer 6

Sounds more like a fundie than an atheist. That's not how all atheists act no....that's like me asking if all Muslims are suicide bombers? I know that's not true, just like you know (or should know) you cant stereotype people by their beliefs or lack of them.

Answer 7

Nope not at all, in fact I dare say many of my closest and favorite contacts in R&S are Muslim.

Answer 8

Please do not generalize all Atheists on the action of one person. Surely you would object if it was done to you for the action of one person.

Answer 9

look at the name again...He is not an Atheist.

Answer 10

ok , I agree with you , can I get best answer , I never got one here :D


Edit : ''a few words..hehehe''
