Why Do Christians Rage, When Atheists Demand Proofs? by akintom(m): 7:18am On Apr 25, 2017 |
1 Thessalonians 5:21(BBE) Let all things be tested; keep to what is good; 1 Thessalonians 5:21(KJV) prove all things; hold fast that which is good; Of course, the stimulus of the pathologic rage of Christians, is the cognitive dissonance, which is secondary to the conflicting verses in the Bible. This condition is further complicated, by their intellectual dishonesty and arrogance. 3 Likes 1 Share |

even Elijah in the Hole-ly BuyBull demanded proof of Baal from the prophets and mocked them when they couldn't prove the existence of Baal; he then went ahead and killed all the prophets I'll wager there'll be a Whooping, staggering and mind boggling 0 (zero) Christians left alive if we do the same for them 4 Likes 1 Share |

They rave because their cherished beliefs are being threatened. They rave because they have been so emotionally invested into their belief system which informs their behaviors and actions, and plays a huge consolatory, inspiratory and motivational role in their lives, and any attempt by anyone to examine these beliefs, as if trying to prove it's untenability is perceived as a violation of their happiness and sensibilities. They also rave because they are humans and as such express the all too human tendency to become offended when their sense of reasoning is being called into question. Because if you subscribe tenaciously to ideas that are wrong, especially if you have subscribed to these ideas for years, it says a lot about how much of an intelligent and reasonable person you are. They also rave because you are questioning and challenging the supremacy of their god. Everyone wants people to respect and accord reverence to things they they respect and venerate, and if someone says something that does the opposite of this, they are bound to get angry. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Stewie101: They get violent and wish you death for questioning their beliefs. That's why they label unbelief as a very bad and dangerous thing, while hailing belief and promoting it as a very excellent virtue. 2 Likes 1 Share |

onyenze123: Lmao . Something has to be within the purview of logic before evidence is demanded as buttress . The belief the universe came from nothing is absolutely ridiculous and illogical , hence no need for proof . And atheists can be evasive . You can prove something does not exist or why it is impossible for it to exist . Example : I can prove this "ejkejnsdkds" does not exist in English Language . Another thing : it is fallacious to conclude there is no God because you believe there is no evidence . Also , there are so many people who were once obstinate atheists but now are theists . What must have compelled them to accept the existence of God ? There is no evidence for God indeed ![]() |

hopefulLandlord: Atheists believe the universe came from nothing . You can as well show us where Christianity tells you to rage when asked to prove God's existence . You can David Albert's scathing review of Lawrence Krauss book "A Universe from Nothing " : http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html |

KingEbukasBlog: this is fallacy of composition The fallacy of composition arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole so if certain Christians think something is true, it must be true for Christianity as a whole talk with a bit of sense abeg; Lawrence Krauss isn't "Atheism" 6 Likes 2 Shares |

hopefulLandlord: Ugh ! Another shallow thought from the usual . I said "atheists" not "atheism" . Atheists believe the universe came from nothing does not mean all atheists believe that . The logic behind my statement is : since atheists reject the existence of a creator then a universe from nothing fits properly into atheistic beliefs . |

KingEbukasBlog: They were killed in the name of atheism? |
Re: Why Do Christians Rage, When Atheists Demand Proofs? by Nobody: 9:28am On Apr 25, 2017 |
KingEbukasBlog: This is a very weak and inane argument. It just doesn't make any sense. Not only is your reply not even a suitable reply to this premise of the thread, it represents a deliberate and futile attempt to demonize atheists on the basis of some bland redundant argument that just shines a huge light on the ignorance and desperation of it's peddlers. Hitler and Stalin didn't commit the crimes they committed because they were inspired by atheism or inspired to cleanse the world of theism. They did what they did for purely political reasons, and using their actions to define every atheist is utter folly. Do you know how many people have been killed by religious folks in the past hundred years? Weren't majority of the allied countries and their generals during the world wars religious? But is any atheist using the fact that religious generals like the leaders of the Allied countries ordered the killings of millions of people as an argument against theism? Let's even rewind the clock. How about the crusades and inquisition that were endorsed and carried out by medieval Christians? Do you know how many people were tortured and killed? How often do you see Atheists use this as a valid argument against theism? What about the rampant cases of suicide bombing and mayhem that is currently ailing our world? Are the perpetrators of these acts atheists? Your comment also show how ignorant you are about history. Hitler's hatred of the Jews was steeped in the already growing anti-semitism which in a lot of respects was influenced by the perception of Christians towards Jews as a heretical sect. Do you know that certain divisions of the church sanctioned and supported Hitler's elimination of the Jews? Hitler's main motivation for the holocaust which didn't just involve the carnage of Jews but other minorities, was primarily motivated by a eugenic belief in the purity of the German blood. Educate yourself and stop spewing trash to further your views. 9 Likes 3 Shares |
