Why are you an Atheist? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 31122956 01/01/2013 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because as far as I've seen, there is no god, and I don't believe in fairy tales. And if there is a god, he/she/it relates to us much in the same way humans (who are the creators of computers and other technologies) relate to software (or, "artificial intelligence"). Do you want your computer to start having a meaningful personal relationship with you? If it did, would you take it seriously? Perhaps I'm not technically an atheist, because I'll admit to the possibility of there being a "Creator". But humans are creators, too. We are capable of creating new forms of "life". But it doesn't make us gods. Or does it? Oh, semantics. If there is a god, he/she/it is welcome to pull up a chair at my table and start explaining a few things. I won't hold my breath waiting. |

You are one of the more brain washed butt fucks of GLP I see I like how anonymous faggotfuck cowardfucks with nothing to loose and no credibility like to pretend to have brains and balls on this site. Your religion of atheism is of a tender young retarded baby with the least believable creation story. If it wasn't pushed by the elites no one would believe it. Keep drinking more milk, baby faggotfuck and maybe your brain stem will grow a little nodule that you can claim to be a brain. So I guess Mike Hawk is your real name? You're using anonymity here as well dumbass. Doesn't your god teach forgiveness? You're an angry person Mike Hawk I suggest you calm the fuck down. It's clear your level of intelligence is below average from your minimal, yet butchered, vocabulary. You fit right in with the christian crowd. It's people like you that steer me away from religion. If a half-wit like yourself is a part of the religion, I already know I'm above it. First of all. Human>canadian Second. A person of my greatness cares not what a monkeytard like you says or thinks. I made some statements that you are afraid that your monkeytard people might listen to so you want to make sure I'm put in a bad light. Do what you have to. Don't expect me to take advice on how to live, or how to post from you. I'm not going to argue with you. To argue with a retard is retarded so you can understand my position. On your conversion, I don't care what the fuck you think or do. I don't care if wonder one day if your asshole is smarter than your head, then shove your head in your asshole to talk to it to find out, then suffocate and die. I learned from national geographic that you are only to observe nature, not dissrupt it. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30743621 01/02/2013 03:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me start by stating that I was raised in the Catholic church. I went to Catholic school, I was baptized and confirmed, and went to church every Sunday. Quoting: LittleMonsterNSI 30471250 At a certain age, my mom told me that from that point on, I would not be 'forced' to go to church anymore....that I could make up my own mind. I have not stepped foot in a church since. Deep in my heart, I never believed any of what was being shoved down my throat. It just didn't make sense. Religion is the attempt by humans to explain that which can not be explained. HOW did we get here? WHY are we here? WHAT happens after death? Human nature dictates that we naturally fear the unknown. Hence, we make up stories and explanation for thagt which we can't explain. Enter religion. For most people, without a 'default' explanation of those three questions, they couldn't move on with their lives. I am just fine with no explanation. Hence, I am Atheist. I was raised the same way almost to a T. Catholic schooling till I was in high school. The only diffrence is I realized atheism is the dumbest form of a belief system. So I'm an agnostic-thiest. Plus I get 'fucked with' by something that controls every action of everything... So I know something is somewhere lol or I would be an Agnostic-Athiest. Lol, ontop of that I had a UFO expeierence which just makes me say "fuck this shit" to a lot of everyday crap we go through lol Btw, praying and stuff really eases my mind especially if I smoke to muh and get paranoid lol. Sometimes I pray and I literally just tell god I hve no clue if he's real and what's his deal... Obviously I get no spoken answer but it eases my mind and I find it really does gives you the feeling of control or something..evolution. Let me quote; Faith gives control over the uncontrollable. I love my security blanket lol, even tho I know it's just a blanket. |

| Armesis User ID: 14386601 01/03/2013 11:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's so simple to understand why somebody is an atheist, For instance you probably look at Gods like Zeus or Odin or many of the other countless Gods mankind has invented throughout history and dismiss them as being untrue because they are simply "myths" or maybe it's just because you believe your God to be the one true God which is a very biased claim to make in the first place, for instance the word you call God now was mistranslated from the word Elohim which is plural and stood for "Many gods" Not one so even there your bible is wrong, i mean many cultures throughout time have had many Gods and you don't believe in them so no Atheist needs to believe in yours either it's as simple as that, most religions are based off Sumerian tablets anyway including your bible, And Sumerian tablets are a lot more logical and less supernatural than the bible, and it doesn't exactly depict us as being special in any way since according to them we were the product of alien DNA manipulation to create a slave race, i mean they even have the story of Noah just with a few twists for god sake. So my answer is this, i'm an atheist for the same reason you don't believe in other Gods. (I don't completely dismiss something that intervened in human evolution, or the possibility of God to some extent but in my mind the possibility of God existing is about 1%) O.Ugurcag |

Christians that have been "spoken to" are not going to ever be convinced of anything ever again. Some people endure very tough times and then when He comes and speaks to them and they are then free of whatever burden they were carrying, you will never ever argue with them because you have not heard Him so you cannot possibly understand. It would be the same way if I had my grand hallucination that an Alien spoke to me and said he was my master and blah blah blah, you would never convince me otherwise that your hallucination was more correct than mine because you don't know. We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves? |

(Not knowing whether God exists or doesn't exist) Atheism is as much a faith as Christianity. No u retard, when u are born you dont believe in anything. you dont even know what the word god means. so you are athiest from birth. This is a perfect example of how Atheists can be just as simple-minded as Theists. At birth, how can you be Atheist? In order to not believe in something, you have to have a concept of that something first. The question posed above is far beyond the mental capabilities of the quoted poster, therefore it's rhetorically posed for the sake of exposing the irony of those who label others retards. |
