RE: Atheism is Growing
Greenpeace2,

I never questioned God's existence, but I do question the individuals who claim to work for God.

All I'm trying to say is that atheists are not bad people.

Why can't you comprehend?

In my experience and in my opinion there are very few real atheists. I run into some people who are mainly anti-religion,anti God ,anti-Christ and most of their efforts, energy and belief is centred on OPPOSITION to beliefs.

True atheists (in my opinion) I have met a couple in my life ,are people who could care less what others believe and are no more disturbed by people who believe in God than people who believe in the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy.Those rare characters who are true atheists don't attack others beliefs or lack of beliefs ,they go through life living with the idea that we are only what can be seen but they are not hypocrites who use the banner of atheism to hide their hatred for religion and God.




Pepe I really don't care what religion or philosophy people fallow but throughtout my years as an atheist I've notice the oppposite most of the time religious people are the ones attaking atheist for example just look at some of the posts in this thread.

Also, I've notice how many theist like greenpeace try so hard to shove their religion or belief down your throat. Apperently he can not accept that there people that just don't believe in god. I don't get it why bother so much.

"I do question the individuals who claim to work for God".

that is an absolute legitimate feeling that anyone should have. if God expects us to test the scriptures how much more the people who proclaim to be Gods mouthpiece. the biggest problem i have with people are ones who misrepresent God and use scripture or christianity as a weapon to beat people over the head. how much more condemmed are those that do not know the truth? yet these men that supposedly know Gods heart want to attack some more. what these people do not realise is that they are the biggest stumblingblocks that paul talks about.

You guys are so weak and paranoid. An Atheist asked for proof and I provided that. Now you call that shove their religion or belief down your throat Really now. When I simply state my case and put forward by beliefs I am told to shut up? What ever happened to freedom of speech? Og yes, that is only reserved for Liberals and people who mock and attack our faith - that is OK?

Typical!

I have known thousands of evangelical Christians, and only one or two - slightly deranged anyway - were obnoxious. The rest were gracious and loving people who showed a lot of patience when THEIR faith was ridiucled and atttacked without mercy - at work and around....

Cartoons, cute,

but know one in the past 2 days has dealt with the Law Of Entropy or the DNA and been able to refute those proofs of Creation and of Intelligent Design.



There is no proof of Intelligent Design or Creation. Do you know why? It's because you cannot test Intelligent Design or Creation.


DNA - impossible by random chance - simply impossible even after many trillions of years!

First of all, I CAN NOT BELIEVE your post received 2 "negatives"........

What in hell are we, 2 years of age that we can't discuss a topic without resorting to childish behavior like voting a post down just because we don't agree with what the poster said?.......ESPECIALLY when "talking" about such an important topic.

FREAKING AMAZING!.

Protestant fundamentalists are usually very intolerant of the fact that as a Christian one of the core beliefs is that of free will.As far as I am concerned you have a God given right not to believe in God and I cannot take your God given freedom away .

I know some believers (fundamentalists) attack non believers but there are also many so called "atheists" who spend much of their time in religious forums so it does go both ways.I also disagree with the tenet that being an atheist in itself makes on a good person just like I don't believe going to church makes one a good Christian .

I am responsible for my actions and I believe I will answer for my actions and not anyone else's and I believe their is only one judge and that is the Almighty so I will never try to take anyone's free thought away but I will also not stand by and allow illogical and biased comments to stand without response.
