Over and over again, christians keep saying that if atheists don't believe in God, why do they keep bashing God? If atheists don't believe the claims and teachings in christianity, why do we bother? This I shall address.

Atheists do not believe in God and are not angry at him. Why is that? It's because he doesn't exist. There are no atheists that are angry at God. Even if we were angry at God, it wouldn't be more or less than a batman fan being angry at joker. What we are angry at is the concept of God and the teachings and precepts of religion and how it influences and impact our beloved world.

Given we are not angry at God and we don't believe in christianity, why do we bother? If someone was spreading hiv to people's children and you knew, wouldn't you try to stop? What would you think of someone who could but didn't? christianity just like other world religions are being used to enslave the minds of people. It is being used to control, manipulate and exploit the masses. It costs people their lives. That's why until the last stone of the last church falls on the last preacher(conman), we will not rest.

Think of all the money people would have used for themselves, help the poor or fund scientific researches if they were not manipulated into giving by their christian god or pastors. Thunder fire you if you say they were not forced, how would someone who believes in God wholeheartedly not pay tithe when the money is available? think of those who tried to use faith and prayer to deal with their cancer, hiv, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses medicine could have manage. Call them fools if you like, but know that not everyone is as hypocritical dishonest as you in your beliefs. What they did was okay by strict biblical standards except you want to kid yourself.

Their death is not worth it. It is one of the things we atheists want to avoid. Christians like them can be easily freed given that they are honest unlike hypocrites. If you knew a scam artist and you could stop him, wouldn't you try to stop him? If you knew something was holding your own specie from progress, wouldn't you try to stop it? These and many more and reasons why we can't let it be. Our conscience can't rest. Think about the crusades, 9/11, suicide bombings, the deceiving or manipulation of people that drugs aren't needed when sick since faith is sufficient, the sharia and tithes and offering etc. all are unnecessary and grave losses.

What if still religious folks don't want? Then speak for yourself. There are people that are grateful to nairaland atheist for freeing them from the shackles of religion and all the fears they had. Many ex-religious folks are happy that they are atheists and they know what it is like to be free. Think about the lives that would have been better if not for religious beliefs. It pains me when folks are crying, hopeless and suffering and they confide in their pastors who careless about them. So christians and other religious folks, we bother and won't let it be.

Despite not being an atheist myself, I have always said it that atheists should keep on being outspoken. They do not know who they can touch. It was an atheist that saved me from being a crazy christian fundamentalist. I am now a deist.

What do you mean by "the concept of God". If you say God is a concept and you are angry at the concept of God yet not angry at God it's rather confusing.

So what is this your "the concept of God " you mentioned.

Are you alluding that there is a God but "the concept" you are angry with does not exist but the one that isn't a concept does?

CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE...HE IS THE LIGHT....OUR PURPOSE AND DESTINY IS TO REFLECT AND MANIFEST HIM.

I don't believe in any religious gods but I am inconclusive of the existence of a creator God. What I mean by the concept of God is the construction and characteristics of a supreme being by world religions.

A concept from the dictionary means: something conceived in the mind, thought or notion. God is a concept of the human mind that is why there are different Gods and different religions borne out of the various concepts of God people have. God can not be shown to exist on its own without human input. Your own God is a concept created by the ancient Jews. Until you point to your God existing on its own and displaying his independent abilities on its own you shouldn't expect anybody to take you seriously. And pls don't come and start crying that your God is an experience because we know what delusion is .

Martinez19:

So you somehow know there is a God but you just do not align with the one you know that people worship which is what you term as "the concept of God".

Since you are "inconclusive " why not wait until you are conclusive before you rate yourself an atheist and before you say certain things.

I specifically directed it at the OP and even he knows I was not asking for dictionary definition of the word "concept".

Thank you for trying to take over the gist but no thanks.

the origin of the universe is unknown and scientists are working on it. Not knowing is not an excuse to embrace absurd fairly tales. It is also not a bad thing to admit you don't know.

*facepalms* being inconclusive means that I don't know whether a God exists or not. I don't know whether there is a God or not.

Being inconclusive means there COULD be and there COULD not be. It's 50/50 so you are 50% sure there is a God and 50% sure there might not be.

That's what inconclusive means.

I am referring to the 50% that says "there could be a God"

Sorry, the origin is unknown to you because you dont know God.
And you dont want to know God because you love sinful life. Simple.

Meanwhile, If I tell you to give me evidence of how man made the first religious god now, you will start swimming swimming
Or the name of the scientist who confirmed that religious god was invented by man, you will start dribbling like Messi

so you have ultimately conclude and hence think believing in God is our major problem or religion?

you can't erase religion ....religion is the first to explain what is unknown to man before science did it ....whether you like it or not religion will continue to shape our future and life positively and negatively....... you can't remove the concept of examination just because students cheat in the exams hall. what you should do as a logical person is to make cheating unattractive and reward serious student so others may learn. .......if the concept of God is remove, the concept of sin will reign.......you can't cut your head for having headache, what you should do is to look for drug to cure it....... in the community of the saint there is always a black sheep.

It's impossible to trace the first person who started this God shit. There are no detailed records of that time. Evidences point to the fact that the claims of the bible are not true. The same goes with world religions. Use common sense nah.
