Atheists Don't "Want" God To Exist?

I'm not frightened

~~

It’s a fair point, and worth highlighting -- although it will fall on deaf ears.

You mostly see this nonsense coming from the fundies (as per usual), with some even going the extra mile to claim atheists are rejecting God so they can have fun in their sinful lives.

These people are so caught up in their belief they can’t even comprehend someone simply lacking a belief in their almighty deity. Instead, they have to make-up an excuse for why someone would lack a belief in their god (a concept which is incomprehensible for those who have completely lost their marbles).

What I accept to be true has absolutely nothing to do with what I want. Either the evidence is there or it isn't. I think believers tend to think everyone chooses their beliefs like they do, based on what they want to be true. I think you are right about them not wanting to admit that their "loving" God would torture people forever, simply because they are incapable of seeing an invisible God. Well Christians, it's true we can't fool ourselves into believing in an invisible God. It's not only the complete lack of evidence for God that leads to my disbelief, but the description of God in the Bible is anything but all loving and all knowing.

I guess everyone jus diff, maybe some athiests are scared, correct and some jus dont beleive end off because they use rely on science and thier five semses to believe what they want... thats up to them.

I also think that everyone should look into god anf relgion us to give it a chance and see what others believe.

I like ur question, its very interesting, but everyones jus diffirent! :)

In then end, we're ALL frightened. One of the things that unite us all is death and we're all afraid of it aside from the mentally ill.

Some of us are just less ignorant than others. It's up to all of us to show love and compassion no matter what we believe.

You were given with freedom of choice. If you choose not to believe in God that is your choice. Islamically, Muslims shouldn't force religion on others. But Muslims should just make sure people are aware of Islam NOT by blowing themselves up! Islam forbids all forms of terrorism, especially the murder of innocent people. So in my view terrorists aren't really Muslims. Just thought I'd correct your statement.

Well, to be honest, if we're talking about the kind of god set forth in the Bible, who is perfectly willing to drown millions of innocent people just to satisfy his own ego, I'd rather he not be real.

How christians can claim to love a deity who does horrible things like that is beyond me.

I understand how you feel right now, ask a valid question, try to be polite and end up being called ranting

It's sad, so 1 star, cheer!

I think everyone spends too much time trying to tell the other who is "right" and who is "wrong". Who cares who is right? As long as you aren't harming others or myself, go for it.

I'm talking about theists vs. atheists by the way...

The statement of your Christian friends makes no freakin' sense.

Not "wanting" or "wanting" something suggests that you believe it exists.

We don't believe god exists. Period. End of story.

I would love for god to be real, but given what all I've experiences in the name well him I can not believe he exist.
