    No one was born an atheist. Most had at least a belief in some higher power at one time. Many came the conclusion that there is no God through much pain coupled with ignorance. I really believe the at least some of them would really like to believe. Carrying the burden of the idea that this life is all there is and we are all alone in the universe is much too immense. So, despite their disbelief, they read this category and sometimes post questions because they are seeking knowledge, although they would never admit this even to themselves.

    Others are tools in the hand of Satan being used to try to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of Christians. Their questions are antagonistic and disrespectful. They do not deserve attention.

    If everyone is so secure with their beliefs and by the by Atheism is organized and that makes them a religion because of the definition is to be religious is to be consistant and they are in a consistant belief that dictates to them there is no God. And as far as their trial and error beliefs who cares. If we are all believers in G-D then what is the worry? And if you atheists are non-believers so what is your worry. I am telling you we should be concentrating on our fellow mankind and help each other past this horrible turmoil that is happening in the Global Warming issue and the War staring us all in the face. We have to find a common denominator and that is survival, so let us all get along and save the free world from these fanatics, and win, then G-D can sort out the bodies, and our fellow mankind be it they are Atheists Agnostics what ever we can all debate later okay? Oh yes there is an Atheist belief they got the law past in Congress to stop our Pledging the flag because we say God in the sentence. How dare they impose their garbage on us is what everyone said, but they have a right to oppose for their own kids, but not the rest who wish to pledge, their kids can sit out. So that was wrong of Congress. Must have been paid real well for that one eh? And Atheism is a belief and in old times they were noted to be non-believers, infidels, and Satanic. Today they call themselves Scientists.

    I like to talk about issues like Evolution, homosexuality and Atheism. There are lots of discussions like that in this category. Sorry, but this is an open forum.

    Because this section is for questions and answers about religion and spirituality, not for religious or spiritual people.

    I also enjoy answering questions in the "ethnic food" section, even though I'm not a plate of Pad Thai.

    They haven't set up an atheism category yet, nor have they merged "religion" with "mythology" as they should.

Now lets think, of all the knowledge you have NO idea its there, not even a clue as to where to look, can [if you honest] God live there, Okay your not a Atheist either you believe there is a God lets continue, a rocket if you put the materials raw in a container and shook it up can you get that rocket or must someone design it, okay you had a designer, a creator, and no one would want to live for very long in a country that does not like the USA have as its base the ten commandments the middle east for example your life is worthless is some places, so if the ten commandments are real so is the rest, learn more free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com God bless bible questions www.bibleinfo.com email me also wgr88@yahoo.com

    They are missing something and don't understand what it is. They therefore hope to spread their "emptiness"

    It quite amuses me they they all seem to think they are of superior intelligence!

    To provide a counterpoint.

    To contradict with reason, logic and rationality the stupid insipid bleatings of the gullible, ignorant, religious swine.
