dfeuhe. One motivation I have is that I feel as passionately about my atheism, as most religious believers feel about their god. For centuries religions have been pushed. It is time that the truth is told; there is no god. Much like adults have to come to terms with the fact there is no Santa Claus. Quoting: anonymous coward 711707 fair enough I disagree can you convince me I'm wrong?

Re: Atheists......WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVATIONS?

that is the voice of fear speaking. what if ye are wrong and the muslims are correct? or the ancient viking religions? ye are doomed to their hell if ye are wrong. perhaps ye should convert to all religions to protect yerself. ye could be wrong....

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 717662

funny,you reply as if my religious convictions stem from fear.

they do not, they are rational decisions derived from research and consideration

I've spent a lot of time on this,from the perspective of an atheist,and these are my conclusions,I could easily be reprimanded by a zealot by not relying on faith,so...

so what are yours based on?

fair enough

I disagree

can you convince me I'm wrong?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 717688

Can I convince you your wrong? Probably not, same as you can't convince me you are right. But that was not the purpose of this thread was it? This thread asked what motivated atheists, I gave one of the reasons. Do you really want to waste your time attempting to convert me?

I don't believe in the piscean sun-god known as "Jesus Christ". Does that make me an atheist? I don't believe in YHWH or Allah either. Does that make me an atheist? If I don't believe in ANY religion, or the "god" of ANY religion, does that make me an atheist? What if I just believe in a "Creator", a "Supreme Being", or a "Great Spirit"? If I choose to name my "God" AMEN, am I an atheist?

not a waste of time,if you're confident of yourself I won't waste your time though,your motivation is valid and I guess we agree to disagree,one of the better responses to my post I must say

Re: Atheists......WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVATIONS?

Dfeuhe: FUCK YOU. You are an ignorant dick who believes in a sky daddy because you don't have the balls to admit your own mortality. You are as important as some bug you crush on the sidewalk but because of your huge ego, you have to tell yourself stupid fairy tales about how you will live forever in some paradise. Meanwhile, you don't give a shit if your dick wad god sends 3/4 of humanity to a lake of fire because we don't worship it. My motivation in speaking out for atheism is simple. I kinda like the truth instead of childish fairy tales and myths.

I understand atheism to be a certain belief that there is NO God,sounds like you are more of an agnostic

If you believe in any God,IMHO you are not an atheist

my religion tells me to let you alone,if you wish to debate I'd be happy to

I don't perceive atheism to have anything to do with religion,fundamentally its a concept

Correct. There is no one true religion. Therefore, the "god" of religions are just that, the "god" of the religion.

I don't care to debate ILLOGICALLY.

Code word: "dfeuhe" I read through the whole thing but then again I agree with you because I am a Christ follower. Very cool idea by the way. It just goes to show that these people don't even take the time to look at the other side. They're too busy trying to disprove God so that don't have to be accountable for their actions.

a little off topic,but are you saying that various religious interpretations have led you to react that there is NO God?
