Are atheists so open-minded that Satan gives them a frontal lobotomy?

Thanks Ben for stepping outside your box today to challenge atheists to consider Faith. We need more assertive voices on here to speak their convictions for God. I pray that those not of faith will take a page from your journey in life today.

May God bless you.

Now, most of the atheists I know would have made some quip like:

"A frontal lobotomy? I'd rather have a bottle in front of me..."

But evidently, the atheists who are answering your question here only have a sense of humor when they are dishing out the insults. Too bad.

They missed a classic opportunity...

OH, by the way, I am a Christian, and have been one for most of my life, but that doesn't mean that I don't understand how atheists might be puzzled about God.

I'm proud of you. You have indeed chosen the best, as you say.

But...take it easy on those who are still lost in the dark, please?

Just remember, there but for the grace of God, would you still be...

(I can't remember which scifi writer I cribbed that quote about frontal lobotomy from..Harlan Ellison? His nemesis, the late great Dr. Asimov? Robert Heinlein, scifi's resident pervert? Or maybe the amazingly witty Douglas Adams, or the equally punny Peirs Anthony?? I'll remember...about the time you close this question, probably....)

Some people are just mean!! I keep my mind and my legs open all the time because I don't care what anyone thinks! I'm 69 years old. I actually think mothballs smell good. It happens at this age! Blesses!! -F U

I, too, am an erstwhile Atheist. My rebellion against God, thankfully, did not last as long as your own. I turned my back on him for about five years. I am a born again believer now.

Some Atheists are good people. I know a couple of them in real life, as well as on 'answers.' They are quite often highly intelligent, critical thinkers.

I am fond of your question- but I was thinking critically about the mind itself a few weeks ago. We tend to think of the mind as occupying the skull or the brain itself- but how do we really know that is where it reposes? And if the mind is indeed metaphysical, isn't the argument moot to start with? So it doesn't precisely make sense that we tend to say that "I am not so open minded that my brain falls out." Does that make sense?

Joshua 24:15

Yes

Heh

Your behavior is indicative of someone convinced that God loves them so much that he gave only them the truth, while completely rejecting a majority of the rest of the world.

You are so self absorbed that you care little that you believe your God will one day ensure the suffering of all those you ridicule.

Thats the result of your religious belief. Turn away from it before it harms you and your family further.

Matthew 15:10-11 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

Your utility of ridicule damns you by your own God's word.

Relax Ben, you're better than this. I too have chosen the better path. We understand them, lets use that for the Lord, not against Him.

peace and blessings

"I was where you were for three and 1/2 decades. I've been there, done that, and will never go back because I have CHOSEN THE BETTER."

Assuming this is true, you have degenerated to an earlier stage of mental development. I feel sad for you.

What a mean petty little person you are. Your life must be so miserable to worry about what others believe or don't. Get a life of your own dude. My life is of no concern to you.

If you really had chosen "better", wouldn't that make you a better person? Which this question shows no evidence of.

The bible is the plagiarized Sumerian tablets and you are quoting fairy tales. What you have chosen is Santa Claus.
