If athiests...... ?

Question

if athiests hate religion so much and hate us "ramming down their throats" then why do they always bring it up and argue that it's not real?

alot of the stuff that athiests state as fact are often theory. and we don't throw stuff at you. you just take any simple little thing as an insult towards you it's called tolerance get some.

if you don't want god on money then move or maybe we should. let me give you some pillar lyrics. "The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave

pendilino i agree with you i've studied other religions and atheism but none of them make sense to me.

patho you can't think of anything better to say than insulting my spelling. i'm sorry but i don't use the a word alot so forgive me if i mispell it

oooo ludwig van has made a boo boo here are some definitions of theory

1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.
2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3. Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
4. the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice: music theory.
5. a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles.
6. contemplation or speculation.
7. guess or conjecture.

you guys are crazy with your god isn't real stuff give me actual proof that he isn't not just speculations why reason doesn't allow him to exist.

if you don't wanna say the pledge then don't if you don't wanna use money then don't i want " in god we trust" on our money and i have just as much right to have it there as you do to not.

where exactly do you guys get your definitions from an atheist dictionary?
oh and anarchy would suck if you pissed someone off they could kill you with no consequences.

oh and we have theories you guys just dismiss them as yak piss.

Answer 1

"In the last days there will be mockers and scoffers"

Answer 2

Theory: A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

come up with a better theory to explain the data that we have and we'll stop using the currently accepted theories.


what got none? oh well then we'll continue to use the best theory to explain things.


i have a problem with both the words on the money and the money itself. I don't think we should use money i say we look to a form of socialism (don't say it doesn't work because you don't know. there has never been a socialist society there's only been communist dictatorships and they are very different) or anarchy.

I bring it up because i have a hard time believing humans can be so stupid. sometimes i wonder if this is all some really big practical joke. and hey religious are always telling atheists that we are going to suffer for eternity so maybe we're sick of hearing it and want it gone? i dunno it's just a thought.

edit: i once decided to not stand up for the pledge of allegience and not say it. i got demerits and a bunch of BS. i get in trouble all the time for my anti-religious stance and my political stances.

also when we talk of theory we talk of the SCIENTIFIC definition.

HEY JACKA** anarchy is not simply "no rules do whatever you want"

http://www.answers.com/topic/anarchism?cat=biz-fin read the whole thing not what you want.

get a bloody brain. oh yeah your theories are cop outs and insults to intellegence. i've heard your "theories" and my IQ dropped a couple points.

Answer 3

It is spelt as atheists.

Well, it goes this way .... the theists bring the topic of religion up and the atheists debunk it. Then the theists will ask "then why to atheists always bring it up and argue that is is not real".

You got the idea?

----
Which fact the atheists stated were theory? The hypothesis of a supreme creature?

You do not throw stuff to the atheists, except telling them they are devil's childen, they will burn in the eternal fire pit created by your imaginary creature, they are fools because your book say so .... etc etc. You call that tolerance?

Well, put it this way, In god we trust is just 4 words that bare no significant meaning to atheists. Just like the Internet which is not created by your god, why are you still using it?

So asking other to leave because you forcefully put 4 words on the greenback and other do not agree with it is not intolerant, how would you like it if the 4 words were changed to "In Zeus we trust"? Would you still use the money? I see you are very selective on how you use your tolerance. You tolerate things that suit you and do not tolerate things that does not suit you. So much for your tolerance.

How about you were asked to say the pledge "In satan we trust and in yawah we curse"? Do you find it offensive?

--------
So because you believe this imaginary creature is real without proof therefore we are crazy to disbelieve in imaginary creature without proof? Who is the crazy one?

--------
Please provide your theory that god is real....... I should say your hypothesis that god is real, but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Answer 4

Would you be OK if your money said "God is a fake"?

I would assume not. It would be blatantly opposed, and perhaps offensive, to what you believe in.

However, to me, "In God we trust" is equally offensive, because it assumes that I am something I'm not. I think it would be easier if we didn't have any mention of God on our money in the first place - God really has nothing to do with money.

Though I don't speak for all atheists, I would be a lot more content if our government stayed separate from any specific religion. It makes all that don't believe in said religion feel left out which, as a country that preaches equality and freedom, is the last thing we want to do.

Answer 5

I do not hate religions. I do not hate you ramming it down my throat. However, I dislike that very much.

I answer questions about religion, because I know much about it, having been a christian before I became an atheist.

Religion is the belief in gods. The belief is very real, even though the gods behind it may not be real at all.

Answer 6

You know,how old,and ancient the ways of "ramming down their throats",and using force...Well,we've come along way,from all that!So,that means money,"In God we trust",saying the pledge,in schools...The list goes on,and on...We shouldn't be forced to have or,be a part of all that!

Answer 7

Religion is the most dangerous force at work in the world today. It makes people do irrational things. If you saw a drowning man, wouldn't you throw him a life preserver?

Answer 8

Pure recreation my friend. It's kinda like trying to convince the crazy guy on the corner that he really isn't with the CIA and he never made a secret alliance with the Xiollons. It'll never work but it makes for a cheap laugh.

Here is your answer in video.
I have nothing to do with these people but i agree with their ideas.

I dont think you understand the definition of theory.
Theory- the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another.a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena

Did you know Gravity was only a theory, not a fact?

My definition applies to Scientific Theroy not layman's terms.

Answer 10

Why don't you know how to spell the word Atheist. It isn't that hard.I mean no offense but how can we ever take your educational attempts seriously when you cannot even spell basic words. It shows that you don't make an effort to check over your own writing, it also leads us to believe you don't bother to fact check anything else you read either. Sad...very very sad.

Answer 11

I'm studying it actually because I'm interested in history, including the history of religions. You don't have to agree with it to learn about it.
