I don't know how people see atheists, but through my interactions with them on this forum, and knowing very well how the devil operates, I can confidently say that atheist are not just people who do not believe in God, they do, but the thing is; majority of them are actually against God, and are consciously evangelising for the devil by turning people away from God, by putting doubts in the hearts of the weak and intending believers.
These are the end times, believers should be smart.
If you're widely read in issues that border on how the devil operates, you'd understand that, the most potent weapon satan has been using is denial and ignorance. Since that hasn't worked out just fine, he has now sent out agents through atheism, to make people live in total denial of anything spiritual, thereby making it easy for people not only to disbelieve in God, but at the same time live in totally denial of satan's existence, thereby making it easier for operate and work on them.
I'm not saying that all atheist are agents of satan, but majority are, while others are just weak-minded Christians or non-believers who were led into atheism ignorantly.
You can say what you want, but I can never be ignorant of the devices of the devil.

Pidggin: You can't be an athiest if you are simple minded or mentally handicapped, you cannot be an athiest if you are not exposed to Western education
Whenever you engage an athiest in a discussion their first line of attack is your mental capacity. Is it right to discriminate against anyone based on your perceived function of an organ in his body?
They pride themselves with being intelligent by Western educational standards perhaps because without western civilization athiesm is incomplete
The irony of everything is their belief system which is still based on theories, yet they require facts from others even from those whose belief systems are based on faith.
Charles Darwin, who is their god never knew about DNA yet they still believe in most of his failed THEORIES
Many athiests have gone to their Graves still believing in someone else's theories while demanding facts from others, when will these people really understand that they are actually the simple minded ones not those who they discriminate against
In christiandom we accept all, the mentally challenged, the lame, the deaf, the blind, the captives and everyone who needs love and comfort. We will never discriminate against you even in a case of brain malfunctioning or any other unfortunate circumstance you may be suffering
Love for humanity is our mission, come as you are and you will never be rejected by true believers. If you haven't received Christ in your life, you can do so today. Accept Jesus who never discriminate and you will never regret it Whatz did one saying ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) |

Zeus was a god you really should go and read on it he was not" flesh and blood" none of the Olympian Gods were "flesh and blood" Acts 17:23 'For as I walked around and looked at your objects of worship, I even found an alter with this inscription :to an unknown God. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship and this is what I proclaim to you. The above scripture is the evidence that God who they referred to as the unknown God showed himself to them but their problem was IGNORANCE which is the same thing you are apparently suffering from. When Jesus predicted that he would destroy the temple and in three days He would build it again what did He mean? Many thought he was speaking about the Jerusalem temple but he was talking about his own body. He probably was referring to a vision which the high priest was to see before he died so stop blabbing The Greeks are Idol worshippers, they even worship any mortal character who convinces then he is god e. g Alexandria. Show me any evidence that Zeus was more than a man, does this mean he was a spirit or what exactly, is there any written evidence to show that he is immortal? You need help, I hope this isn't something kind of psychosis you are suffering from. Did Zeus write a book comparable to the bible which we can refer to? When Paul visited Athens he was shocked by their level of idolatry "Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry" Acts 17:16 |

Perhaps you do not know there are scientific methods of manipulating the weather, that is the first thing self-acclaimed logicians resort to instead of this indignation that you feign. Is this an attempt at masking ignorance? There is some confusion between two of you. Are you guys talking about -climatologists or -rainmakers? |
