...we are opposing acts he is REPORTED to have committed according to the bible. Since we are Atheists and don't believe in God, we obviously are speaking as though God existed for the sake of the argument. We don't think those acts occured. We are speaking as if they did to relate on your level and to show you the implications were those acts to have actually occured. Do we really have to state the obvious every time?

Although I'm catholic I agree with you. I find it amusing to read the answers of the fundamentalists, not only Christians but from other religious beliefs.

I am Christian (Baptist) and am not opposed to good works in the slightest, they are very important. BUT it does not matter how many good works a person does in this life, if that person is not saved (has not accepted Jesus Christ as their personal saviour) and do not believe in God. They will not go to heaven. Good works are important to the saved person, as when Jesus returns they will have to answer before Jesus for their actions as a Christian. Once saved we cannot lose our salvation, but this does not mean we can just say "We are ok now, it does not matter what we do, or do not do". A true Christian would not say that anyway, as it is our place to try and become as like Jesus as possible during this life. It is also very important that our lives, and what we do with them gives glory to God. In my morning devotional, part of my prayer is for God to grant me some way of serving (working for) Him during the day. I give thanks for even the smallest task He gives at the end of each day. God Bless

"At least believers are consistent on one idea."
-That explains the 100s of denominations of Christianity right? Or Christians who believe in evolution. Or Creationists. Or Young Earth Christians. Catholicism, Mormonism. I mean, no differences whatsoever there.

Hey, once you atheists come up with a legitimate theory as to how the universe was created then I'll listen. So far all I've heard is "no one knows" and "they're still trying to figure that out" You non believers can't agree on anything AMONGST YOURSELVES. How can you expect to change someone's opinion. At least believers are consistent on one idea. I would rather believe in the Lord than a "work in progress".

You are not an atheist, you are an antichrist at this point in time.
If God isn't real, then why is your passion against Him so real.

yes, like when a critic talks about a film, and it's characters, he talks about them as people, saying they 'did this or that' rather than saying 'not in reality, in the film' every 3 seconds.

For some reason I don't think most of them think on that level, which would explain their gullibility and susceptibility to believe in fairy tales.

Why bother opposing things that didn't really happen. Why not oppose the injustice in the world that is happening?
