Could you, one day, just convince yourself that there is no god, and convert to atheism?

It's not a choice. Shut the fuck up.

LettuceClock should have known any religious debate on the BBS will result in a flame war and accomplish nothing.

If someone believes in a fairy tell, it's obvious they don't care about logic much, so trying to reason with their beliefs is futile. Just shake your head and talk to those who are willing to listen.

What it should be is people not giving a rats ass about other people's religion. For example, I follow Christianity, but one of my best friends is an Atheist. Do we rip on each other? No. Maybe the occasional joke, but nothing to take offense.

You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

Everyone is atheist to a degree, if you are christian then you are atheist to all other religions. Pure atheists have just gone one further.

Bashing atheism is stupid because atheism is the only faith with any evidence to support it, you would think a true christian would feel sorry for atheists if they are so misguided, not hate them. Christians just bash it because they are afraid it might be right and dont want to believe it. Atheists are afraid of religion because of what it turns people into.

Some questions for the christians:

At what point did god create dinosaurs? or did he?

How are you sure that your religion is right, and others are wrong? Would god forgive people that followed the wrong religion and let them into heaven anyway?

Did noah put every sub species of animal on his ark, and why did they not eat each other? Are we all descendants from Noah?

If we all descended from adam and eve (and/or noah), and if evolution doesnt exist, then why are we different colours?

When god was creating the universe, who was watching to then write about it later? or did he tell Adam and Eve about what he did?

How come snakes can no longer talk? Was this a punishment by god?

Where is the garden of eden? was it supposed to be on earth? or on another plain of existence?

I'm not having a go with these questions, I would just like to know what people believe....?

I'm an Athiest, and I never ever get bashed. Maybe because I don't tell many people, not that I'm ashamed or anything, if anything I'd be proud, but it's not usually something you'd just tell someone, unless they asked your views on religion.

I think people who do believe in some higher power tend to forget the state of mind of an Athiest.

I'm saying that because some people, when you tell them that you are an Athiest, usually ask me "Well, how did the world come into existence then?" and things like "But how can you worship something then?".

They seem to forget that it's not about that.

My view on the matter right now is that people think too much about why the world is here. Let's consider this.. It just is. Don't ask any questions, maybe you weren't meant to know. If believing a Religion calms you, maybe makes you feel better about facing the subject of death, and you think that it is right, that's fine. Maybe everybody finds out the truth. There's a good chance also that you never will, or noone will. And maybe that's the way it's meant to be.

Most of my beliefs would piss alot of people off on both sides, but after getting kicked out of a bunch of public schools I got stuck in a private christian one, here's their "explainations"

Dino's were around before the "flood" they're refered to as leviathans in the OT


How are you sure that your religion is right, and others are wrong? Would god forgive people that followed the wrong religion and let them into heaven anyway?

There is no "right" or "wrong" religion, "Religion" as we see it today is unimportant, your personal faith and relationship wih who you call "savior" are all that matter, even tribesmen in the amazon have some concept of a "god". what you believe is less importnant than the fact that you believe


Did noah put every sub species of animal on his ark, and why did they not eat each other? Are we all descendants from Noah?

Much of the OT is alegorical and not literal, it's the theme of the story that's important not the details


If we all descended from adam and eve (and/or noah), and if evolution doesnt exist, then why are we different colours?

Refer to the "tower of babel" story in the OT. Evolution doesn't have to take place for adaptation to occur.


When god was creating the universe, who was watching to then write about it later? or did he tell Adam and Eve about what he did?

The first 5 books of the OT were written by Moses as told to him over his lifetime by God


How come snakes can no longer talk? Was this a punishment by god?

In the garden of eden adam and eve could talk to all the animals, our not being able to talk to them is our punishment


Where is the garden of eden? was it supposed to be on earth? or on another plain of existence?

At the intersection of the tigris and euphrates rivers in what is now Iraq, God destroyed it after kicking A&E out


I'm not having a go with these questions, I would just like to know what people believe....?

oh and about the whole "God created the world in 7 days" thing, they were God days, not our days, they could be billions of years long each.

And God can create things "with the appearance of age" Adam and Eve were adults when they came into existance, not newborns, who says God couldn't do the same thing with the rest of the universe?

I'm not saying that I belive all this stuff, but its what they tried to teach us.

Nope, that's Deism or possibly Ba'hai. Atheism by it's very nature is a denial of faith, or more accurately an absence. Atheists simply accept the world as is and take anything unknown as simply being unknown presently. One does not require faith for that.

Thanks for those, I'm not sure all christians agree with all of those. The things that seem strange to me: The fact "that you believe in a god is the important thing", firstly not all religions believe in just one god, or any gods at all. Also religions often have strict ways of doing things in life, if catholics dont do something a certain way, then thye are going to hell, surely this means that other religions must be doing thing the wrong way?

Also I have heard before "Much of the OT is alegorical and not literal", the problem is, how much of it is alegorical and how much is literal? Lots of people have different ideas about this, some believe noahs ark was real, some dont, some think the garden of eden was a metaphor, some people think the whole of genesis is a metaphor for the big bang and evolution...

Thanks for your mature post, i was expecting to get flamed by some christian extremist from the bible belt of america, I expect its early in the morning for most of them at the moment

Some people are like that but not all

Simply fucking stupid
Maybe the stupid is you?
What do you have to fucking loose being part of a religion?
If theres no such thing as an afterlife,you lost nothing.
However if there is and you belive, you're in.

Not quite...

In final thought, if you an Atheist, I dont fucking care,but you certainly are a fool.

Not really, you can be an Atheist and not be a fool, maybe you just don't want to have the obligations of "having" a God or you simply don't believe...

I'm not atheist, I consider Myself a "Pagan" I believe in certain things from certain religions...

Maybe "arrogant" is the wrong term, now that I think about it...you must have banged your damned head.
NO dumbass, I said beliving that there is no fucking god at all is really fucking dumb.

Ok, I didn't express myself very well, I'll give you that. What I meant was...can you possibly believe that you're certain, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that your belief concerning the existence of God is well founded?


I have no problems with any other religion OTHER than Atheism

Atheism isn't a religion, it's a way of life. You corrected me on that.

only because the belief that there is no god,that we just spawned out of no-where, and there is no hidden mighty force of any kind; THAT IS FUCKING DUMB. YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU ARE AN ATHEIST

Ok. Explain to us why that is. Why, pray tell, are Atheists "FUCKING DUMB" and fools?

I'd really like to see if you can give me a straight answer...one that can give us all the absolute certainty that you are right and that God exists, and that to think otherwise automatically makes one a fool.

Pure awesomeness. You must read it.

those aren't my words, read them again, what i was trying to say is that what you believe in is less important than the fact that you believe in something, anything

I'm guessing that your trying to say that adaptation and evolution are the same thing, right?
So, if I cut off your right hand, and you learned how to write left-handed, did you adapt or did you evolve?

No. I, for one, don't believe in a god, because I don't fucking care if there is one or not!
Besides, isn't religion for people who hate their lives so much that they want to go to heaven, where they'll never have problems any more?

Simply fucking stupid

Haha, you suck!

What do you have to fucking loose being part of a religion?
If theres no such thing as an afterlife,you lost nothing.

I had to pay church taxes and follow rules I don't want to follow. And I had to get up early on Sundays, which sucks.

However if there is and you belive, you're in.

If there is one and you talk as much ignorant bullshit as you do right now, you're not in.

In final thought, if you an Atheist, I dont fucking care,but you certainly are a fool.

NO U!

Honestly, do you really have to make such a dumbass out of yourself writing this?
Try to get a brain and think about what you're saying. Being atheist or agnostic is a belief like any other.

Yes, maybe there is a god and if I believe in him, I will get to heaven.
But if there is no god, I wasted my time on earth praying to a fairy tale.

Oh damn! Your superior arguments defeated me. I will no longer be such a dumbass fool for not believing in a invention of man and I will immediately convert to catholisism.

I cannot beat someone who has such an awesome way of strenghtening his opinions with arguments. You sir, are the wisest man I've ever met.

First off. Are you trying to get people angry at you? do you want to start a flame war to get this thread locked or something? Because that is all I see.

Let's see...

Which sounds more logical:

1 - god took a deep breath and of sand and blew out the first human named adam. then took adam's rib and turned that into eve.

or

2 - We started out as a simple chemical process that evolved through many many reactions to form a species known as a human.

Also, if you want to talk about the creation of the universe.

Science has proven that combining anti-matter with matter creates an explosion which creates more matter and anti-matter which is similar to the big bang theory.

Now that, is makes the bang theory a lot more reasonable than an eternatal god just creating everything out of nowhere because...well they never really tell you that do they?

The thing is is that many athiests I know (on the BBS, at least) attack religion. I'm an athiest and have many deeply religious friends because we go about with an attitude of "I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe." However, in the BBs I often see, "Religion is stupid!! Athiests are right!" I'm sure if athiests like that chilled out a little, then the rest of us wouldn't catch so flak.

This topic was not about atheists bashing religion until you came into it.
In contrary, you are provoking pretty much right now.
