Why do atheists find it so hard to believe in invisible deities?

Question

I mean come on wouldn't it make you feel better to pray and get the response of yes, no or sometimes. And the bible stories always make you feel all good and snuggly inside when one reads of incest, decapitation and tearing people asunder.

I am spewing truth and facts right from you own book called the bible if you can't deal with perhaps you should find another belief system.

The fact of the matter is many of you Christians hate it when Someone quotes from the and say oh you should spend more time in the New Testament since it is easier to digest but the whole book you claim to be divinely revealed

Answer 1

They same reason Christians
find it hard to believe that the
rest of us do not want to convert
to their way of thinking.
Not the Atheists nor the Pagans
nor any one else.
Hey, let me invent this new deity, I think I'll call her "Notgnihsaw".
She is all powerful and knows what is best for all humanity. Do you believe in her?
Is she real to you?
Where did she come from?
See where this is going...
It's hard for most of us to accept invisible beings, just because someone else says, it's so.
I can make up all sorts of documentation to prove that she exists...
And now, maybe for once someone can actually see why, it is so hard to accept the Christian views on the subject of an invisible God.
I had an invisible playmate when I was a kid, I never thought that "Queenie, the magical horse" was a diety, but then, you never know.
I suppose it could be true, but I seriously doubt it.

Answer 2

You're right. I've seen the error of my ways. I only hope I'm not too late to join in with the Christians in Africa exploiting the hunger of Children in third world country for conversion.

Answer 3

Yes the invisible eight ball would be wonderful, but I prefer rationality. Good sarcasm.
Person below me, is preventing gay marriage not oppresive to gays. The only reason against that is christianity. So yes SOME christians are oppresive. Not all are only people who post stuff on here

Answer 4

in case you talk with a biologist, geologist, astronomer, nuclear physicist, and so on., possibilities are high they would be an atheist. the people who instructed me a god existed had nowhere close to as lots of a clue approximately our origins as maximum scientists do, and maximum scientists don't think in any deity. you be responsive to the logic, you're basically ignoring it.

Answer 5

Probably for the same reason a theist like myself finds the notion of space-fairies (aliens) so stupid. The exact same reason, just different.

Answer 6

I'll ignore the sarcastic comments and just answer the question.

Two words: NO PROOF!

Answer 7

I like the downplaying of rape and stoning of children for acting up myself. Makes for great bed time stories.

Answer 8

Worry about your own morals and not someone else's.

And maybe your argument would have been okay in a different era. But the Christian Church is not today an opresser. You are simply spewing hate.

Answer 9

Hard to feel good and snuggly about something that isn't there.

Answer 10

Sarcasm and irony are not your strong suits.
