Why do Atheists post all their question in a section named "Religion & Spirituality?"?

Isn't the fact that your atheist mean you believe in no Supreme Being or "spiritual afterlife?" Maybe you should petition YA to give you your own forum....

    The reason is that atheists are not entirely comfortable with their position. Something within them won't let them rest comfortable in their beliefs. It makes them restless, and they spend a lot of time arguing and attacking others in an attempt to convince themselves that they are right.

    Because there is no other place where the non-existence of God can be discussed in a relevant way, and being an atheist does not say anything about one's spirituality, although many of us may define that word differently than theists.

  • I am not an atheist; but let them question/answer here, the 'god' of the atheists may be 'self' (man Gen. 3:5-6, Psalms 82:6, John 10:34).

    you're difficult god and relgion. however i don't have self assurance in gods, I do have self assurance that faith exists, that it impacts me, and that i've got the best to precise an opinion on it. as properly, few in the soccer area comprehend what the Ontological Argument in want of god is.

    some atheists post here because atheism is their 'religion', and they want to be understood. Sometimes they have an interesting or important answer to a question about religion.

    the problem is that some atheists (like everybody else) do not know how to think logically. they think at about an age 2 mentality (scatological) or 12 (immature sexual fixation). they amuse themselves and their friends by pissing in the well.

  • They are jealous and jealousy is as jealousy does.... Bitterness and words of attack naturally follow.

    In this world you will have trouble but take heart for Jesus Christ has already over come them all. John 16:33

    These people who have no belief in God just ignore the inner pulling of their hearts towards the supreme Being in control. They can handle the truth because the truth is not compatible with their way of thinking. But if they want to keep going on these forums then maybe we, as Christians, should be praying that they are taught about God and hope that we can be a witness to them. Love each one as Christ loves each one.

    Hope that helps...

    Source(s): Oh and congrats on the first YA "ask"! **Edit** Oh and did you realize Paul that I stated my beliefs and you assumed that it means hate? I have no hate for anyone, In fact I have friend from all walks of life and I love each of them dearly. And I was being sarcastic with my first statement. It was just that- sarcasm. Sorry if I hurt your fragile feelings.
