Guess who made a round world after Ergo-Durhm-Mongo-Goo-Adda-Lumbo created a flat world? Ergo-Durhm-Mongo-Goo-Adda-Lumbo-Geeka-Donga did! Everybody should now that.

My 16 year old son says he is an atheist and I would some good points to discuss with him. My way of handling thus far has been to tell him...its a free country, he is free to believe what he wants, I can`t make him believe. I also told him I am glad he is thinking for himself but to keep an upon mind because he is young yet. He says he wants to believe but just doesn`t. He is a very scientific, smart minded kid. He wants hard proof of things. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 354277How would you handle it if your child was an atheist? I like other peoples opinions so tell me what you think. Would you try to tell him how to vote? how to wash behind his ears? or do you think he may be old enough to form his own opinion? Either way, the more you tell 'em, the more they look the other way. Or tell him to pop in on GLP and I'll convert him to a Pagan for you. |

He doesnt believe it because he doesnt understand it. you should sit him down and explain the concept. also, If God doesnt exist why is there evidence of the exodus of the hebrews from egypt? The plagues of egypt and the parting of the reed sea? If you say that these things occurred by the hand of nature and they may have, How is it that Moses knew it was done to liberate the people. How did he know that the plagues would occur and that the sea would part for his people to escape? how did he know to go to pharoah at this particular time and claim that God had spoken to him. How did moses know to have a passover dinner and paint the door lintels with blood to save his people from the plague of death that hit egypt. why is it that all of us knew that the time we are living in now was going to occur. that christians would be hated and persecuted. that money would become worthless. that famine and disease would come. that war would come that was so destructive that God has to return to keep us from completely destroying ourselves. We knew it was coming because the bible told us in prophecy. Keep Your Karma Clean! |

Then he knows all the outcomes. If he knows all the outcomes, there is no real free choice. Face it. There is no god. Man denies the actuality of existence, because the realisation is maddening. In order to buffer against insanity, man created god. You need to read Ernst Beckers the denial of death before you do any more shilling for imaginary friends... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 354277 ![]() 04/05/2008 01:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A big part of why my son is the influence of relatives on him. He has a 2 uncles and a close cousin who are atheits. Even his grandma on that side said she didn`t believe there was anything after death. His dad believe in God but is against any kind of organized religion. My son went to church with me up until high school. So, he is knowledgeable about christianity. It is his choice but yet his is very young to dismiss God already. I don`t want him to be religious but spirtitual as people feel empty without it. Our soul needs food just like our body. Prayer, mediation, etc is all food for the soul. The biggest evidence to me that there is a God is love. I don`t think we would have the deep love we do, without God. I have told this to my son but he is a big sceptic. He is going to be an anthropologist and he wants scientific evidence of everything. I guess my feeling is everybody has their own path but I do want him to know this is a huge decision he shouldn`t take lightly. His dad and I are going to have a talk with him about soon. The othere thing is their is a still discrimation against athesits. It could cost him jobs, college admissions, life partners in the future. |
surfsteve User ID: 377623 ![]() 04/05/2008 01:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah... maybe your son should sell himself and his beliefs out so that he might get a better job and have more friends. When I was young I wanted to believe in all that shit so bad so I could fit in with everyone else. But the only way I could have done it was to lie to myself and everyone else. I remember asking people if I should just pretend I believe even if I really don't. Many of them even had the balls to nod their head yes while saying no. Maybe if I had lied to myself enough I would have eventually convinced myself that I believed that I believed and after enough years had passed I wouldn't have known the difference. |

Whee! 8D User ID: 408866 ![]() 04/05/2008 02:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like the concept, but not the percentages (wtf 1/10000??!!) Until 1800's, people thought we were made of a mix of the for basic element : Air, fire, water and earth. SOOOOO, the chances are that if SOMEBODY (not god) wrote that, it had 1/4 chances to take the "right" element, water. This drops your percentages a little bit huh? Also... earth shape... flat and round, flat and square, flat and undefined shape, or spherical. 1/4 chances. Nothing like triangular, hexagonal, etc. If you want to make your percentages realistic, base them on what people thought at that time. Not on the infinite possibilities of what people could have thought. |

I was one of those and hopefully today am no longer one. I was the most devout atheist you could have ever heard of. Today I believe in angels jinn Allah and all that is in the Quran. I would have laughed if I ever were told this would happen to me. Whom allah guides will believe, just hope the atheists reading this message of yours (op) will have a wake up call one day, for their own sake. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 348093 ![]() 04/05/2008 04:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Allah(swt) has created beings that are endowed with ‘freewill’. These beings are the Jinn and Humans. Humans are labeled as ‘Ashraf-ul-Makhlooqat’ i.e. ‘best of all creation’. If this ‘freewill’ were to be subtracted from the system then there would not be much difference between man and angels. Angels, another creation of The Almighty, do not possess ‘freewill’ and follow Allah’s command in verbatim without having an option to comply or deny. We have been blessed with this option where we can use our knowledge and intellect to react to different scenarios. Allah(swt) without a doubt has Power over all things (Quran 5:40). He(saw) created everything that has been created and His(saw) knowledge is Absolute. When we talk about Allah’s will we mean two things: Everything that happens is known by Allah(swt) Everything that happens is by His permission Knowledge does not contradict with the actions taken by freewill and neither does permission. To explain this further, Allah(swt) has knowledge of what humans will do and Allah(swt) has given them permission to do what they will. This is where freewill comes into play. Man has been given guidance via prophets and it has been made clear to them what is good and what is wrong. With guidance, man has been blessed with the choice to do good or bad. Allah(swt) has given man guidance and the permission to do as he pleases thus only man is responsible for his action. Allowing a person to do something after he has been given guidance and the sense to distinguish between right and wrong does not mean the one giving the permission is responsible. This is the entire concept of freewill. We have been given the choice and permission to comply or deny and thus we are responsible for our actions. Truly Allah(swt) is the “justest of Judges” (Quran 11:45) - Ebrahim Saifuddin |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 354277Attending church does not teach one of xtianity. Going to church is probably more detramental to his learning xtianity then not going. The church has poisened and corrupted the religious belief. It is his choice but yet his is very young to dismiss God already. I don`t want him to be religious but spirtitual as people feel empty without it. Our soul needs food just like our body. Prayer, mediation, etc is all food for the soul. Sounds like you are trying to impose YOUR beliefs on him. He is not too young and one does not have to attend church, believe in a god etc... to be spiritual. Prayer is a subserviant pleading, meditation can be very healthy but unrelated to a soul. Curious just what is the proper age of reason? 16 he is forming concrete thoughts and has concept of himself etc... No way is he too young. You should be happy he thinks for himself. The biggest evidence to me that there is a God is love. I don`t think we would have the deep love we do, without God. I have told this to my son but he is a big sceptic.

The othere thing is their is a still discrimation against athesits. It could cost him jobs, college admissions, life partners in the future. Really sounds like the problem is you can not understand his point of view. Why he can not grasp a god. Just how you can not understand how people can not believe what you think is real it is the exact same thing just opposite. It also is only a huge decision if you intend to let religion run your life. Sounds like your son is doing just fine in making his own decisions. Kudos to him. |

If religious folk had any comprehension at all of logic, rather than emotion based "faith" they'd realise that if the future can be known, even by "god",it is SET IN STONE. Therefore there is no possiblity of anyone doing anything to change it, therefore no "free will." To distort the concept of Free Will into a submission or rejection of Control by "god" or anyone else is pitiful and the mark of a natural born slave. |
