It could be there is something in it.

It keeps reinforcing my belief, that Christianity is the right path to God.

Is God using atheism as one of the tools to test his church and purify it?

Are atheists freely attacking christians or they are being "programmed" to?

I am a theist, i choose common sense.

Plenty of us atheists attack other religions, particularly Islam. You just have to look a bit harder.

By the way, we don't attack Christians, we attack Christianity. There is a difference.

Honestly speaking, I wish I knew, Most of them start off with "If there is a God...", since you don't believe in God, why use the preposition " if"??

Instead of them to invest their energy into something worthwhile and beneficial or seek knowledge in their new found "path", NO, they'll rather quote phrases that they cant ordinarily explain, argue at the mention of the name of Jesus; arguments to waste time, arguments that won't benefit anyone, arguments that would lead no one nowhere.

Because most of us are actually agnostic, meaning that we could accept the existence of a god if there were any evidence.

Sounds like Christians and Muslims as well.

You attack islam and others but not as strongly and aggressively as you do christians. This is a well known fact. Christians have it worse with atheists. But that's just on the surface, if we look deeper atheists are the ones having it hard with Christians.

Let me say something you are going to win some christians to your side but you are never ever going to win a christian who has tasted the powers of the ages to come. You are never going to win a man with personal spiritual experience. You can only try but no way.

No you dont attack only christianity you attack christians for christianity is the reason why they are christians. If you attack my philosophy, my motivation, my belief, my only hope you are attacking me for my life consist of these things.

My sister i just tire for this people. I wish they can have their own section. Too much energy being wasted for "nothing" durrrgh

Atheism is different from agnosticism. The OP is referring to the atheist.

An2elect2:
Amen. Of course there is something great and worthy of envy in Christianity. Who wouldn't be pissed with it. I keep saying it, if i was not a christian i'ld be mad at christianity, christians and the Christian God cos how dare they all speak with such pride, confidence and assurance! hahaha.

The last line is awesome, well said girl!

I remember you said you were tending towards atheism before God grabbed you. I know you know what you are saying! You are indeed one of the reasons i believe christianity is right.

Thank you too!!!!!

Perhaps Christians are the most loquacious and silly sets of believers who argues sheepishly without any facts but scriptural passages?

Here in this forum, anything against Islam is almost prohibited. You can't see anything of such in front page of this forum. You see as a free thinker, i read anything that comes my way. Be it Quran, Bible and others.

For thinkers, we don't just talk about christianity but about religion entirely. Check my post where issue of slave rape is highly accepted in Islam. And this was supported by a scholar in Islam.

They are different concepts but I am both at the same time: Atheist refers to a state of belief (there is no god) and agnostic refers to a state of knowledge (not enough information to conclude).

So I am an agnostic atheist: I lack belief in any gods but I don't have enough information to be sure there isn't one.

Here's another distorted reasoning of theist, they believe they have the right to mention God at will, even when common sense is needed, but same time feel disgusted when atheists and other free thinkers dismiss their claims. How hypocritical.

Shut up. You haven't said anything that need brainstorming ratiocination.

ronald4lif:

Those scriptural passages are long held facts! All those people in it were real, all those events happened. Almost everybody believe they all happened and there are even non*scriptural record/evidence in writing...except recently, nobody questioned them because they were not myths but real.

We are commonsensical, not our fault

Prolly I'm missing something here, The theist believe in a Supreme being, the atheist says otherwise. Theres no restriction whatsoever for calling their Supreme being, you don't have one, then why expend energy any time discussing what you don't believe in??

Joblessness at its height, too much effing time to waste.

Thank you but you are just one person, maybe different. I am talking about the general behaviour of atheists.

Most English-speaking atheists are probably former Christians, and hence they would be more familiar with Christian theology, and so are more likely to criticise it. In addition, most former Christians are probably surrounded by Christians and so it makes more sense to criticise what is relevant to their lives, rather than attack a far-off religion somewhere else. You also rarely see Buddhists attacked for the same reason. If you check my post history you will see that I have often criticised Islam.

No you dont attack only christianity you attack christians for christianity is the reason why they are christians. If you attack my philosophy, my motivation, my belief, my only hope you are attacking me for my life consist of these things.

No, Attacking Christians would mean that I would want to see them prevented from practicing their beliefs (like going to church, etc.). I do not wish this at all, as long as it does not consist of forcing me to go along with it.

In any case, I suggest you develop thicker skin regarding your religion whilst online, because I can assure you that we atheists will continue to criticise Christianity in the same way that Christian missionaries criticised the traditional African religions when they came to Africa.

And you are completely free to criticise, even mock, the atheist position. I will not lose any sleep, and if you are really clever, I might just laugh!

That's just one in a hundred, most of them have such attitude, e.g ronald4lif.

I have clearly explained why I am both. This is not a controversial position in philosophy. However I can't force you to understand. .

Atheists never counter theists and their belief unless they rub it on their faces. No atheist go about rubbishing religion without a theist mentioning God and quoting scriptures that has no meaning or evidence to back it up. If it's your right to quote scriptures why do you feel aggravated if a non believer dismiss it?

I also don't believe in withcrafts and jujuism but I discuss them, so why shouldn't I religion especially when it's repeatedly flaunted on my face?

No qualms, I didn't argue with your belief and I understand whatever it is you typed there.

Another lame retort. Come up with something rational let's discuss for or against your imaginary God. This doesn't cut it.

Onetrack, You cannot separate a man from his belief. You insult his belief, you are questioning his intelligence and sensibility. Nobody likes to look like a "whimp" As far as attack their are so many forms of it.

By stopping them from practising their religion you are saying verbal reduction and detraction of their religion is not enough until force is applied. In any case, they were still attacked whether verbally or forcefully.

So everything youve typed since this discuss started is all bunkum??

Since you've decided to send your brain on a recess and you're thinking with whatever you decide to think with, please, abeg, joo, biko, don't mention me.

Pick another struggle.

For me as a person, I actually do not care whether they attack Christianity or Christians as a whole, but some take it like it is their daily bread, without it, they can't survive. They are not different from those who attack people based on their tribes on NL.
