Because they want to conquor the world for self glory. They simply want to
enjoy earthly, mortal, unhuman treasures for the sake of society. They do not
bother for poor, sick, helpless, downtrodens, society's image etc. They are like
disobedient child falling down and down and does not bother of their
fall. When they fail they curse God not himself. What a pity, they dont
even know their own heavenly father who so nearer to them who put
words into his mouth before he speaks. God himself chose to die on
Cross for sin of those non-believers who sin secreterly but when
caught, they sin openely, shamelessly and become danger for society. They
puts evangelist into danger by not accepting the Gods words. I call all
christians brothers and sisters to pray for those unbelievers and
beware of all idol worshipers now spreading all over the world.

  Evangelists in danger? If they preach as you are preaching, some people are bound to be rubbed the wrong way. No one worships an "idol" of stone, they worship something else. But perhaps that is too much for you too understand.

  I was an atheist and there is nothing wrong with one.I gained enlightenment without believing in any of the prophets.

  Please remove all your statues of Jesus in your churches and homes before before you make this statement- I call all

  The same way Christians worship Jesus's idol other religions worship their prophets idol.
  The reason why masters are against idol worship like I have mentioned earlier -the messenger and his message.The message is more important.
  
  Like Paramhansa Yoganadas master refused to be photographed saying-"man is a foolish animal he will worship me rather than the spirit in me which is also in him ".
  
  Even the Muslims and Sikhs are against idol worship and not only Christians.But don't Christians worship the idol of Jesus or Mother Mary? If its fine with Christians why is it wrong with other religions?

  we christians do not worship the statue of Jesus or the cross, , , we worship his name and the Father in heaven, and the bible is the only book that recorded actual history that happened. unlike those unreal fake and impossible stories some extreme religions have. some religions worshiped a man like Budha like a god. worshiping a human will not get them anywhere. . . . that is just common sense!!

  Idols in the church depend on the church. Catholics have statues of Jesus and Mary. Some church have no statues with faces but they have crosses. As baptists we have an empty cross in the front of the church but off to one side. We don't worship it or pray in front of it. The empty cross serves as a reminder that we believe Christ died on that cross and rose again to sit at the right hand of the father. As for this topic not going away there are other hubs to check out. But this one is too much fun, the atheists are a riot.

  Seriously, I find your explanation to be very easy to understand. Thank you.
  
  I've always researched and looked into many religions myself, I did give my soul to Christ when I was about 15, but I feel I have significantly diverged away from Christianity over time. Its not that I have anything against it, I'm still searching for my own spin...something that feels comfortable for me.
  
  But I believe in life after death, in higher powers, and that I should cherish my life and the lives of others every day. I wake up trying to make myself a more diligent person and make people smile as often as I can. In some respects, I guess I can convey a "Christian" demeanour, but I'm not trying to put myself on any soap box. I believe in myself and humanity, and I want to share my love for the world with everyone.
  
  Alright, sorry for getting so sappy.
  
  Sincerely,

  Paraglider to Skydiver - even where religion doesn't equate to bloodshed and violence, it should still remain a personal pursuit, like hill-walking or dancing.

  Let me start off as a proud Atheist
  
  I see SO MANY FLAWS in your argument here
  
  1. "God" did not die on a cross his son of a virgin did.
  2. When we fail we don't curse something we don't believe in.
  3. A sin is man made humans are animals and animals don't have rules. Kill or be killed they are not worried about heaven or hell.
  
  Drop a thin piece of chalk ask god to protect it record it not breaking and all Atheists will convert. Til then take your crappy propaganda off the internet.

  I beg your pardon, sir.
  Some atheists are better than others, and I know many who will take off the shirt on his back to give it to a poor Christian, and vice versa.
  
  And Christ did not die for a general, faceless, God-rejecting mankind. He died for His own, those whom He has called His sheep even from eternity past.
  His blood was shed for them, and for them only.
  He knows who they are, individually, the circumstances of their birth, life, and death, and He didn't redeem them because of their theology, or lack of it, or because of their creed, or lack of it, or because of their wisdom, or lack of it.
  He redeemed them because that was what His Father wanted Him to do.
  
  Please do not give occassion to those who do not believe, in this forum, to insult the faith once delivered to the saints, by your pointing fingers at others (forgetting that four are pointing right back to you).
  
  "Christians" do not have a monopoly on compassion.
  Everyone has them, because all men were created in the image of God, and compassion is one of those images, albeit tainted with ........SIN (woooohhhhhoooohooo !!! there, there, I said it again, the politically incorrect infuriating word !! take it or leave it !).

  I don't want to conquer anything and I am an atheist.
  I want to enjoy earthy life because I live on earth and have an earthly life, I am mortal and would like to live as long as a mortal can live. Sorry, I don't follow the unhuman treasure thing. I think that belongs in the supernatural god category.
  
  I give money from my own pocket to help the poor, sick, helpless, downtrodden that society has created.
  Society labeled them outcast, I do talk to them as humans, equal and just as needy as myself.
  
  I give them money out of my own pocket. My friends and family tell me that they don't understand why I continue to give when I don't have much to begin with and all I can say is, "because" because what if that was me? And I am an atheist.
  Yeah, sometimes I fall and scape my knees but I brush it off and move on.
  
  who could curse god who doesn't know god? Nor can a person who thinks they know their heavenly father curse god... but don't beat yourself up about it.
  
  yeah, my problem with that is according to this analogy, god never did die so he never did die for anyone's sins or their never was any sin. A danger to society is teaching fiction as the truth and truth as fiction.
  evangelist put themselves in danger. Choices remember?

  Mohitmisra,
  
  I was evil too before finding God. All of that has changed. The supreme being has done so much in my life to make me a better person and all the glory belongs to Him.
  
  I have to get off of this subject because it hurts my heart to hear so many do not believe in God. Its their choice, but, I take it to heart for them.
  
  Its just that I love humankind so much that it pains me, as all the love God has given me, I have that same love to give. I don't want to upset the atheists, so I have to bow out of this conversation because their views will be respected, also.

  madmacposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  That's a valid point Lady Guinevere but going by that aren't all people who believe in God or a supreme being doing that also by "hedging their bet's"? After all I myself if anyone's reading any statement's I've made have asked all of those that believe to tell me why they do and as of yet all I hear is basically because I do. They simply can't tell me why it's a simple question right so why is so difficult to answer? As I said I can tell you by using the Bible as reference why he doesn't exsist or at least put dought on his existence but NO-ONE can do the same to explain otherwise. I hear no answer is going to please me and that's incorrect, the answer should be simple if you trully beleive. I never think about where we came from or how everything was made as there isn't anyone on earth can answer that question. What all of you should be concerned with is the here and now I mean suppose it was proven that aliens made everything including us what then? Do you then start doing things you otherwise wouldn't do because you don't have fear of going to hell? Do you change who you are ? I believe all believe in one religion or another because it gives them an excuse to live the way they live good or bad. And also what would the world use for an excuse for wars and hurting each other? As for preachers on tv and radio, all and I mean all of them aren't in it to save anyone's souls, their in it for the money and that's the bottom line. I researched every evangalist I could find and there are quite a few of them and I found out all are wealthy to some degree some extremely and living in luxury that most of us can only dream about. They are all doomsday preachers 'give me your money and I'll tell you why were all doomed let me save your souls" you all can't be that nieve? You are all looking for something to beleive in that's the essance of all this debating. You know I've been reading a lot of the statments made on here and I'm surprised at the fact that most seem to be quite inteliigent people and yet they will come on time after time and argue or debate the exsistance of something no-one in history can prove exsisted. As I said I come here not to debate it but to ask a simple question why? If there is the slightest dought in anyone's mind that God exsists than you can't possibly have faith or believe in him right? So in the end religion of any kind is basically a myth made to scare people and get them to do things they otherwise wouldn't do. People are desperately looking for something to believe in thats why there are the David Kureshes and Jim Jones of the world. I will keep comming back if for no other reason than curiosity and the hope that someone can tell me why. I will never try to persuade anyone to change their beliefs because I could be wrong doughtful but possible. Maybe I am a doughting thomas you know the weird part is that since I starting disbeleiving so to speak, things seem to be a for the lack of a better word a "relief". I figure since I consider myself to be a very good person and do no harm and am good to others, I stand as good a chance as any of getting into "heaven" and don't have to worry anymore about God's punishment for not following HIS laws. If he exsists he knows I have a good heart. Some of you might get insulted by what I say and again my deepest apologies if that is so as I mean no disrespect to any of your beliefs. Has it occurred to any of you that that is what God wants from all of us just to be the best person we can and live our lives by that?

  As far as this endless debate is concerned, however, I think those who choose to believe and those who don't have a variety of reasons known mostly to them. Keeping with the general theme now with this thread becoming such an eye sore, can't we all just get along?

Or is it just their minds that are closed? I can't tell. Maybe one of them can tell?

  By 'been here before' I meant 'had the same discussion', not 'reincarnated' or any such thing! Personally, I'd say that the statement 'there is no god' can be taken 2 ways: 1, as a belief, and 2, as a proposition that could be falsified by a single manifestation. I don't support option 1 because I don't support belief. Option 2 is fine.

  Ok. I, therefore can honestly say, I hold the opposite view, with the acceptance of both propositions (IE 1 & 2).
  "there is a God" being the opposite view.
  1) I believe it, (I have faith, call it irrational, though I believe it to BE rational.)
  2) Demonstrated by a single (actually countless, but one is good) manifestations. Jesus Christ.
  Sadly though, it it occured previous to the time you and I live in, therefore we have to take someones word for it, (actually several eyewitness accounts). And, sadly again, it's in the "old book". Oh well, this is where we part company (figuratively speaking).

  Not really sure how you can call it a closed system. I have said many times that if a god appeared I would change my tune.
  
  Although - I assume you are just talking about believing in your particular god. None of the other ones that you do not believe in would count as being open minded.
  
  But if you want to talk about close minded - how about dismissing evidence that we evolved because it does not agree with your irrational beliefs?
  
  I d not believe in a god - but I am open minded enough to accept that there is one if he happens to drop by and show me.
  
  And I am not really sure why you are hanging on to the jesus myth as some sort of proof. You are aware that that story was copied from another religion almost word for word right?

I was an atheyist once.

I lost my mother when I was very young. She was religious. But God did not save her from cancer. How could I believe It could exist? God betrayed my mother and cursed our family. This I believed.

Now I am a little older. I'm no longer an atheyst. I'm agnostic. I don't have proof that God exists or that God don't exist. So I tend to believe in myself. And in a pinch I can always pray to God, because if exists, well, it's never bad to have God on our side!

It all comes down to faith. To what is life to you, what you believe created us all... Are we here by chance? Or are we not? Anyhow, what makes you live? And what you really want?

I think most of us just want to be happy. If believing in God, Allah, Buda, Science or any other thing gives you a feeling of reassurance that helps you to achieve that happiness, than that is a good thing.

I found this I thought it would fit here.

"When I said to a believer in the theory of evolution, "Your trust is in fallible man. My trust is in infallible God," other atheistic believers in evolution replied:

"You trust the Bible, which was written, edited, compiled, interpreted, and preached by fallible man. That is all."

"No. Your trust is also in something you believe happened long ago that was written by fallible men: The Bible. Then you throw in the subjective feelings that you interpret as a personal relationship with an infallible God."

"You have trust in a book, written by men, assembled and edited and copied by men, none of them even claiming to be infallible."

These atheists are mixing apples and oranges. God is the Creator. The Bible is a compilation of 66 books. They are two distinct entities. It's like thinking that President of the United States is the Constitution. One is a written document, the other is the political leader of our country.

Christians of the first few centuries didn’t have a "Bible" as we know it. Most people of that time couldn’t read. The New Testament hadn’t been compiled, and there was no such things as the printing press. Those who were Christians were converted to Christ through the spoken message of the Gospel. They heard that they had violated God’s Law and that because of their crimes against a holy God, they were justly headed for Hell. But they also heard that God was rich in mercy to all that call upon Him, in that He provided a Savior. Jesus of Nazareth had paid the fine so that guilty sinners could have their case dismissed. Those who repented and put their trust in Him alone for their salvation received everlasting life as the gift of God.

They were saved by the power of God not by reading and believing the New Testament. Their trust was in Him, not in the Bible (again, which didn’t exist as we know it nowadays).

The contemporary Christian has the same experience. But we have the added blessing of having an Instruction Book that tells us what we experienced through our conversion, and how to live now that we have come to know God.

Consequentially, you can take the Bible away from me and burn it, or "disprove" it, or ban it, and it won’t change a thing for me because my salvation doesn’t come from believing the Bible, but through trusting in the person of Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Savior. Not even death will separate me from Him (see Romans 8:38-39).

An atheist further wrote, "But of course, as I've pointed out, you are not infallible; your trust might be in error." That would be true, if we were simply dealing with another human being. If you said to me that my trust in my wife is misplaced, I would be upset that you are insulting her integrity. I have a wife who is incredibly faithful, very loving, and extremely honest. Yet, she is still a human being and is therefore subject to human weakness. Not so with God. He is without sin. It is impossible for Him to lie. He keeps every promise He makes. You and I can trust Him like an immovable and solid rock.

So, if you are a professing atheist, you are without excuse. God has covered every base. You are dealing with the One who created the genome, the atom, the unspeakable complexities of DNA and this entire infinite universe. You cannot win. Give up. Humble yourself and surrender to His will today and you will come to know Him "whom to know is life eternal."

because that god kills people, makes people slaves, takes advantage of good people, causes people to fight, it's a dictatorship instead of spiritual freedom.

because the people that believe it play into everything it was ever against and they don't see it. Because they don't let people think they way they want to think without making them feel like they are these horrible people for not believing something they say is the truth.

because none of them can seem to get alone and neither will throw down the gauntlet, because they all believe they have some supernatural power to give people some spirit they call the holy spirit and then take away their own personal spiritual sense and replace it with things that are not good but they make you believe that it is good.

mostly monotheistic religions breed hate and intolerance while preaching love and acceptance with a clause.

Well lets quote one example; The recent Earthquake in L'Aquila in Italy. Why were the Victims not housed in Church properties instead of being made to freeze in tents? There must be many unused Church properties in Rome.

I know how the Roman Catholic Church ignores the poof and victims of disasters. I am a bedraggled refugee from the "Holy" Roman CAtholic Church. I havee seen first hand it's attitude to the disadvantaged.

The Catholic Church has a specific institution inside its enormous organization devoted to help the poor, the sick, the helpless. It's called CARITAS and it does just that, it gathers the moneys of catholic people from the whole world and organizes the distribution, in a very rational way, to those in need. They cover the whole world, more or less.
Of course, as with all things human, it's easy to imagine that CARITAS might be imperfect, might have slight instances where corruption appears, but in the whole it's quite a great, useful institution.
The Catholic Church does help the poor, the sick, the helpless.

Just to keep it real, the source has to be published, non-fiction and from people who are not high.
  
  Misha here we go! The story Christians believe is the one about a man, the son of God. We believe he came to help guide us through the maze we know as life. His teachings and the ones in the Old Testiment give us the moral guideposts needed to return to Heavenly Father. Now Jesus was on the earth for a very, very, very short time. This man the son of God has changed this world in a profound way, no other person in recorded history has been able to match. He had no money, his family were simple, honest people. They had no influence his memory has lasted because its the truth.
  
  Look you can lay around and mope but wheres it get you? All your causes will still be there and the Christians will do the dirty work for you. I'm refering to the disaster relief efforts, charity, family counseling, help with the elderly, home repairs for the poor and a myriad of people services. Now remind me what atheist organization helped its neighbors in need.
  
  You can play all the word games you want but I have over 2000 years of staying power and you have a swelling government that will do it for you. The price is cheap, sort of, its your soul. Is it worth it? Its not to me. Peace.

  Have you met god, god have you met sneaker? You are totally convinced and have no doubt that there is a god and you're as rational as you think you are then please reference your sources. Just keep it real, the source has to be published, non-fiction and from people who are not high.
  
  no, it's because they killed for him and die for him and from those that were killed in his name, money was also taken and the process continues until this day because you still believe that killing in the name of Jesus Christ made so unholy, is the way god wants it.
  You mean genocide?
  
  You mean the millions of civil citizen who don't believe you have to be apart of an organization to help people in need.
  
  That has to be one of the most arrogant and ignorant, things you guys say. Please go f**k yourself. I am sure your human burning god will forgive you.
  
  All you have is 2000 years is lies, murder, deception, thievery and arrogance.

  Hey Mark, I would help anyone in need and share what I have with a stranger in need. Jesus, The Christ, when he came to us gave us two tasks. One Love Heavenly Father, two love each other. I would love to be able to share his message with anyone. I pray for those who don't have his love in their heart and wish I knew a way to show how its changed me. I'm still a wiseass but I spend a whole lot more time helping those in my area that need it.Peace.

  So - you can be a wiseass - just like jesus said - attack some one who does not believe the same rubbish you do, and then say you love them, but not their "sin."
  
  Now prove that you love them rather than just attack them from behind your shield. Come on - you know the only way to do it. Greater love hath no man..............

  Well Mark if you're implying since I didn't die while I was in the military I can't have a belief system, thanks. What I say here is for fun, I like to pull strings, its a game we play with each other when we recreate.
  
  Now if your own guilt about your behavior has you gripping I can help find some of the answers you may need to find peace. You don't appear to be the kind of person who would care about what others say or think. If you are an atheist you probally would enjoy pulling my string and trying to make me out to be a hypocrite. You know what I believe so what do you believe? Do you share the Judeo/Christian values this country was founded on or are you one of those Godless comunists?
  
  Now as I explained before, If you want a picture to see who I am(you're not missing much) I would if I could but its taken me since Christmas to get this far. Mark I'm a workerbee, I make a modest income, my wife of 33yrs makes alot more, we have a son we love very much who attends a Christen university. I'm one of the knucleheads that freeze in the duck blinds and curse the tangles in my reel. I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. If I wasn't a big guy you wouldn't even notice me in a crowd.
  
  If you want to play I'll play but first you have to show your hand I'm calling you. You know my hand I'm like a million other work-a-day Christians. What are you? Peace.

We might as well start on the right foot so I'll need to know where you're coming from unless of course you're lost. If you're lost don't feel bad theres a whole gagle of them here that have defective compasses.
  
  I see you're a college student and you are obviously very worldly its probably do to your preference for a secular education. Our family opted for Christian universities so you know we're totally programed. If your boy friend is actually a boy I'm proud of you, if its a butch you'll fit in well here. Peace.

  Of course I was referring to both your lack of sensitivity and your ignorance. Trust me sir/ma'am, you don't want to start something with me. I am worldly. Are you suggesting that those who do not participate in secular education are not? I don't believe that Christian universities "program" their students, it is up to the individual student the influence that is held over them. Yes my boyfriend is a "boy", not sure where the misconception lies in the term "boyfriend." And if I was a lesbian, you shouldn't see any problem with it. You end your postings with the term "Peace" maybe you should practice what you preach. I am not up to dealing with a homophobic, close-minded individual right now. Have a nice day
