what is ur view on christianity and atheism?

Answer 1

yin and yang. . . . with out one there is no other. . .

Answer 2

Heidegger posed the question in Sein und Zeit (Being and Time) what is the fundamental question in metaphysics: Why is there something instead of nothing? I've never heard a good answer to that from an atheist. It's logically impossible to prove a negative. Actually, if you accept Godel's theorem, it's impossible to prove even a completely analytical system (mathematics), based solely on the propositions contained within the system itself. So, when atheists can answer Heidegger and prove Godel wrong, I'll look at atheism as a serious intellectual endeavor. Until then, as one author said, I don't have sufficient faith to be an atheist.

Grace by unto you and peace.

Answer 3

I am neither and have friends in both. Atheist are the logical ones - no argument with science from me on that. I love studying biology and evolution myself and accept 1005 that is how life came about. Christians have a lot of good - spiritual, caring. I have no problem with Jesus although I don't view him as messiah. I think there is more that just the physical world Atheists see but not the Christian creator - they have just interpreted the "something more" in a different way.

I think they all have valid points and are all right to a point. Just wish they could be a little more accepting of each other.

Answer 4

Sadly, remind's me of the Biblical view of Paradise and Torments. Luke 16:22-31

Answer 5

So some loser said atheists are miserable.
Uh. No.

Christians are more miserable. Wouldn't you be miserable, constantly knowing that the guilt of all your "sin" is weighing on your shoulders? Perpetually afraid that you will burn forever once you die because you weren't a good enough person?

I am much happier as an atheist, not afraid of eternal punishment or damnation for my mistakes. I care about people, not god, and I feel all the better for it.

Answer 6

I am Catholic. Most, if not all of my friends are athiests (with the exceptionof one or two agnostics). I respect their decision, and beliefs (or lack there of); just as they respect mine. To be completely honest though, I will have many moments where I want to reach out to my friends and try my best to convert them, but I don't. I feel like if they want to find Christ, they must do that on their own, and no amount of stuffing religion down throats will change that. C. S. Lewis was an athiest for many, many years until he converted back to Christianity, so.

Everyone should respect each other - even if we don't have the same views and opinions, basically.

Answer 7

Christ = Yay
Holy Spirit = Yay

Atheism = Nay
Being constantly miserable and angry = Nay

Look, I gotta tell it like it is. I have yet to meet a HAPPY atheist. And I've hung around a lot of Unitarian Universalists who attract atheists into their congregations. I've traveled to a lot of UU churches and talked with people and run into a lot of unbelievers. They are very cynical and miserable and unhappy and angry and bitter, without fail.

Christians, however, are happy people. They are always smiling and very helpful and warm and they reach out to people and whatnot. I usually don't really care for fundamentalists much, but even they are happier than atheists are.

Answer 8

Atheism is a state of mind that you reach after investigating religions and their holy books.

Answer 9

Atheism- yay

Christianity- nay

Answer 10

Christianity is completely fuddled. You only have to look to Paul to know just how much damage he did with Jesus' reputation and Jesus' family's reputation. Not a man I'd call a friend.

Answer 11

Take a coin - one side is Christianity, one side is Atheism, they are both on the same coin.

They are a paradox (more clearly, belief in God versus Belief in no god, the coin is "belief' itself)
