This is for you atheist. If Athesit don't believe in a God , or the existence of one.......................?

Then why do you atheist feel the need to believe there isn't? If a God or God does not exist in your minds , then why do you need to convince others ,that one does not exist?

And if atheism is true, do you put your faith in it? If you say you have no faith, then why do you believe in atheism? If atheism isn't a belief, then why do you feel then need to believe in it?

Update:

So i misspell words, you think i care? I could care less about what you people think about what i write. Like you never make any mistakes. So what, who cares? I don't have to prove anything to any of you. Tell someone who cares. Go complain to whoever .

    Why are you so ignorant of what an atheist is?!

    More to the point if you do not know what an atheist is why are you so intolerant, hate filled, bigoted and persecuting towards them?!

    ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. But that does not mean they do not hold strong moral or religious beliefs! They can follow any religion that does not have a god and there are a lot of those!

    Like BUDDHISM – Religious teaching from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and delusion (the cause of all suffering) man can attain perfect enlightenment!

    Anti atheism is doing so much damage to Christianity that it is in reality anti Christianity – David Manley

    It takes in reality only one to make a quarrel. It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion. - William Ralph Inge.

    Why so blind to what causes the backlash against christianity?

    ALL the other religions and atheists live in peace and are ONLY attacked by BAD christians which causes all GOOD christians to despair at the damage they do!

    Up until about 40 years back Christianity was thriving and there was no conflict with others but in just those few short years the modern christians have become intolerant, hate filled, bigoted and persecuting resulting in a growing backlash against christianity and causing christianity to loose over ten percent in less than a decade with the loss accelerating!

    The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only thing that can stop it is to abandon the terrible human emotions, seek to rediscover the idea of a loving god and act like it!

    It seems there sure are a lot of people who have no religion or belief

    that venture here to the Religious Category. Makes one wonder, doesn't

    it? If there is no God, how did the word "G-O-D" get into our vocabulary?

    How did we get here if there is no God? Who came up with our wonderously

    made bodies? How did we get a conscience? Our bodies are made up

    of body, soul, and spirit - even science will agree with that. But yet no one

    has seen the soul or spirit (just like we haven't seen God) but it is still real.

    Christians have "faith" that there is a God. You too have faith....that the

    sun will rise every morning and set every evening (who made that a

    possibility?) God can stop that at any second if He wants to. He can dry

    up the world by not letting it ever rain. You don't believe in a hell's fire?

    Go to the erupting geyser's in Wyoming or the hundreds in Alaska and

    see the fire coming up out of the underground. It's there, folks. Jesus was

    also real, who lived on this earth 33 years and He performed hundreds of

    miracles, healing the sick, walking on the water, feeding 500 people, and

    even raising others from the dead. He too came out of the grave after 3

    days of being dead. He now abides in heaven with God. It is all true and

    whether we believe it or not really doesn't matter. It's our choice and it will

    indeed matter at End Times.

    Atheism is not a belief system that we put our faith in. Rather, atheism is a label applied to people who lack a belief in a god. It requires no faith. Faith is belief in the absence of evidence. Atheism is a lack of belief.

    I also resent the assumption that I feel the need to convince others. I am around religious people all the time and the only time I ever tell them about my stances on religion is when they ask.

    I don't feel the need to convince others. I feel the need to convince others that just because I'm an atheists doesn't mean I'm not human. And I have faith in many things. Just not a god. I don't feel a need to believe in atheism. I'm an atheist because I don't have a belief in god.

    Is not believing Santa exists a belief? Or is it just the acceptance of the fact that if all the evidence concerning the existence of something is from human imagination, the thing in question is imaginary?

    If you believe God exists you have no logical basis to say that all the other things you daily recognize as imaginary DON'T exist.

    I don't care what you believe, personally, but it IS necessary to make you understand that I won't live my life according to the dictates of your religious belief system that's based on nothing but your personal prejudices. If you expect to bring that to the table you can also expect you're going to have to compromise. Live your life according to your beliefs and I'll live mine according to mine- as long as neither is doing any harm to the other, that should be acceptable.

    Atheism becoming more outspoken is in RESPONSE to millions of barking lunatic god botherers demanding that THEIR religion be put INTO the public laws and institutions that ALL of us have to live with.

    -Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church.- anon.

    The last time you goons had it all your way has a name: The Dark Ages.

    We'd like to avoid a repeat.

    -With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.-

    Steven Weinberg, quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999 US physicist

    Atheism isn't a belief, any more than your non belief in Zeus is a belief. Moron.

    -I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.--Stephen F. Roberts

    Why do you need to believe there isn't unicorns? The same thing applies.

    Why do I need to try to convince others? Because some people give their life savings away to televangelists, or tithe 10% of their money away to groups that spend that money to make the lives homosexuals as miserable as possible by influencing legislation.

    Atheism is the default position, without proof that is worth believing, the default is non-belief.

    "Then why do you atheist feel the need to believe there isn't? If a God or God does not exist in your minds , then why do you need to convince others ,that one does not exist? "

    Oh, 'god'... I just respond to this sort of stuff - I don't go door to door...

    Kid... you don't mind if I call you 'kid', do you?

    Kid, if you and your people didn't go to such extraordinary lengths to try to convince me and my people that all that imaginary little space chappie stuff wasn't any more than primitive superstition, you and your people would probably never hear from me and my people... just saying ;)

    “Theists, especially Christians, try to control and restrict us based on their views. If all Christians stop crusading against science, education, culture, art, sex and sexuality, religious freedom and such, stop dishonestly misrepresenting your beliefs as facts, and stop telling everybody else they're going to be tortured throughout eternity unless they join you, I assure you that you won't encounter nearly as much hostility.”

    before everything, not all Atheists are like that. it incredibly is a nicely-cherished circulation on the information superhighway to badmouth faith and youths tend to bounce on the bandwagon yet being an atheist in its ideal type isn't believing in God. the difficulty with this customary kind of atheist is they don't understand the appropriate utilization of technological information. in reality, technological information has no evidence. it incredibly is predicated on the religion that they put in previous human assertion and that they call it evidence to offer greater weight to their theories. babies are then indoctrinated with those techniques at a youthful age and issues like the milky way, which we can not rather practice exist, grow to be 'reality.' They use as lots blind faith as you do as a believer in God in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it is been desperate that the forces they are able to't see someway have greater reality in them than the forces you may not see. i in my opinion don't think in God and am skeptical approximately maximum medical techniques and theories yet all of us could desire to be entitled to their opinion no remember how stupid the standard public have confidence an opinion to be. the difficulty which you're looking is one that atheists generally discover from christians as nicely, human beings aggressively rigidity their comments onto persons. that isn't a fault of their concept, it incredibly is a fault of the guy and is ordinary to handle. merely snigger at their stupidity and flow on, take the ethical severe-floor. if your concept in God is robust adequate, or conversely their concept in technological information, then not one of the arguing will rather influence all of us. One extra word: to have confidence that the Higgs Boson (the God particle call has not something to do with God and replaced into meant as a comedian tale) has something to do with evolution is ridiculous and so stupid i think too undesirable for this guy or woman's intelligence to suitable insult them. And calling it actual while it replaced into got here upon via doing some thing that bent the guidelines of physics in the international with none degree of skepticism is the two as stupid.

    Why do Christians do the same thing, let us not forget the very bloody history of Christians killing people who did not believe in there god.and would not convert, torture burning them at the stake. (Christians seem to like burning people) as they also tell everyone they are goiong to hell to burn for eternity. Athisim is the belief that there is no god. What it is not is a religon. Athists plan to keep an eye on Belivers to make sure you don't try to bring back the burning times.

    There is no god who every tried to change the world in this way and for those who abuse his name there will be no chance for escape....(Enigma..."The Cross of Change) it's a good song you shold listen to it.
