Why I will be ignoring all "atheists" on this forum.

I wish the theist/atheist controversy came to just a scholarly debate, but it doesn't. As you've seen from these posts, the atheists are on a political agenda to sanitize the public realm of religious reference or expression. While claiming they are being persecuted, they go about persecuting others and while they claim that Christians are imposing their views, they go about imposing their own religious (yes I said religious) views on society. They hunt for any cross, ten commandments display, bible, prayer, christmas tree or manger scene and then proceed to eradicate it from public view. They are bullies and petty tyrants.

And I stand by my view that they aren't even real atheists. Having talked to real atheists, I know that a person who truly does not believe in God does not feel the need to make others not believe in God and is not threatened by the religious beliefs and expressions of others. They aren't on a crusade to foist their views on anyone else. They smile politely when somebody says "God bless you" knowing that the person is expressing warm regards and taking it at that value. Religious expression in the public sphere doesn't affect them whatsoever.

What we have on this and many other religious forums are not atheists, they are haters of God. They come with a malicious intent to destroy the faiths of others. It must be noted carefully that true atheists do not pester Christians and have no intent to destroy their faith. This crop of hateful, spiteful and miserable people do indeed believe in God, evidenced inversely by their queer bent to oppose the belief in God in every venue possible. God to them is a black hole exerting gravity upon them which causes their entire being to orient themselves toward Him, even if in an adversarial manner. When dealing with them, it must be understood from the beginning that they aren't true atheists, just rotten and cruel people seeking to spread their own inner misery.

This is why I won't engage them or see any of their posts from now on.

 

I'm an Atheist so saintmichaeldefendthem don't read any further.

Still reading I see...I knew you would. Your post seems quite hateful and intolerant towards certain people you don't agree with. Is that animosity encouraged in your religion?

 

You might as well join a religious circle jerk forum then. This forum is for debating religion in various aspects, not patting your fellow sheep on the shoulder.

 

Good decision. It's my belief they lash out because they're afraid they may be wrong. If you notice, internet atheists are just as passionate about spreading their message of hate as fundamentalist preachers are about spreading their message of love.

Forums like this are their 'churches' and believers their 'congregation'. Instead of trying to make us better people, their mission is to drag us all down to their level of misery and fear.

That's why I don't post much in this section. It's very depressing to see so many lost souls.

 

ahh yes the good ole fear tactic of hell

Is that all you got? Really? REALLY?

 

Good analysis of the problem StMike. I have to wonder if they won't leave God alone or if He won't leave them alone. I think they protest too much.

 

A new contender rises to the challenge ...

 

Well, we know your beliefs are based on nothing, so that's the end of that.

 

I'm sure they're all heart-broken.

 

Excellent point, MidLed. My preacher once said God is always speaking to our hearts... it's whether we choose to listen or not that makes us Christians.

"Be still and know that I am God."

One of my fav verses.

 

We won't leave religion alone.

We don't like what it does, we don't like that it spreads lies, we don't like that it spreads hatred. We don't like that it gets special privileges while denying others equal rights. It offers nothing to mankind that can't be had without deluding oneself into believing in faery tales.

Note to the nitpickers: I'm referring to the religions that do the aforementioned things; religions that do not promote those things (non-deific religions for example) aren't the subject.

 

Are All Christians Schizophrenic? Religious People Fit Classic Symptoms of Mental Disease

Dam, spot on Smartmouthwoman

 

Do you ever wonder why nearly all atheists are liberals? They say all liberals aren't atheists, but the left's worship of Obama makes me wonder if they don't have trouble knowing where their loyalties lie.

​

 

You're the one that brought up politics in the Cost of Intolerance thread.

 

Let me guess, you're an Obama admirer, right?

 

Lol...your obsession with the man is a bit creepy.

 

Indeed and well said. I've dealt with these types on other religious forums and they come in numbers to muddy it up. Some forums have gotten wise to the game and have banned atheists from participation. Why allow into a religious discussion those who hate religion? It makes no sense. People of faith have the right to discuss their faith without being interrupted by haters of faith.

 

What's with the Obama obsession? I know of myself, and another poster here who is no friend of said administration.

 

It's an open forum. I'm sure there are plenty of religious forums out there that you can engage in conversation.

 

This having NOTHING to do with you and your fellow 'christians' showing classic symptoms of schizophrenia. A red herring.

However, I did not vote for Obama, nor would I. I voted for Bob Barr if you must know. You see, some of us are smart enough to see and realize that the republiKKKans and Dumbocrates are one in the same party. You may carry on bashing the 'lefties', as you 'righties' are one in the same with them.

 

Thankfully, we can choose not to put up with it anymore.

 

Are you a spokesman for the religion of atheism? Seems to me you've got some good preacher qualities, especially dedication to spreading the message. Most preachers are capable of discussing opposing views, though. You seem pretty closed minded to the possibility you COULD be wrong about your interpretation (of lack of interest) in the messages contained in ancient writings... like the Bible.

Without the charitable missions of churches, millions of people would suffer all over the world. Is that really your wish for the human race?

 

The really neat thing that can be seen by us believers, is that every time they raise their voice (keystrokes here on the computer) in protest of God, they are acknowledging His existence, contrary to their stated positions of not believing in the existence of God.

 

I'm not sure what any of that has to do with what was said. You said you believe something about something, and my comment was that your beliefs are based on nothing.

I think it's adorable you still use the words "left" and "right" to describe political concepts. You're being a tool, like they want you to be. But, that's something for the political section.

That's just an incredibly stupid statement, though I'm not surprised you're in awe of it. Atheists don't believe in god because there's no reason to. That entails nothing about whatever else they will or won't believe. However, since the quote mentions "anything," let's make it clear that theists are the nutjobs who think magical creatures who work in line with coincidence care about the eating habits of jews and let rapists off the hook by purchasing their victim.

 

There seems to be an epidemic of Straw Men going on here.
