Christians, why do you feel so threatened by Atheists?
Is it because you fear that someone might actually prove that God doesn't exist? What would you do if that happened?
If someone proves the existence of God, I will admit I was wrong and will accept as my creator.
Fair enough?
If I could prove it I would, don't you think? The same way you cannot prove that God exists...
@Jacob, quit the drugs... that's my atheist advice.
None of the Christians have actually answered my question. That's my point! As an Atheist, I still give the benefit of the doubt. To me God does not exist until proven otherwise. You don't even accept that you might be wrong. Now, that is arrogance. Just because I breath does not prove anything. So quit the Bible bs and that everything around us is made by God.
Think for yourselves for a change and try some critical thinking without copy-pasting passages from the bible...
@ down-to-earth, no, it's not a silly question. I do fear Christians. History repeats itself, and I fear we go back to the middle ages and be persecuted and killed for not believing in God.

Atheist, why do you feel so threatened by Christians? Is it because you fear that someone might actually prove that God does exist? What would you do if that happened ?
You say that You would believe if God could be proven?
No you wouldn't, and you know it,
Your presupposition is that there is no God; therefore, no matter what I might present to you to show His existence, you must interpret it in a manner consistent with your presupposition: namely, that there is no God. If I were to have a video tape of God coming down from heaven, you'd say it was a special effect. If I had a thousand eye-witnesses saying they saw Him, you'd say it was mass-hysteria. If I had Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in the New Testament, you'd say they were forged, dated incorrectly, or not real prophecies. So, I cannot prove anything to you since your presupposition won't allow it.
Your presupposition cannot allow you to rightly determine God's existence from evidence -- providing that there were factual proofs of His existence. Don't you see? If I DID have incontrovertible proof, your presupposition would force you to interpret the facts consistently with your presupposition and you would not be able to see the proof.
Your fear of Christians because of revisionist Historians referring back to the Muiddle ages is unfounded, If anything we should be more afraid of atheist, Look at what happens whenever an atheist Ruler takes control of a Country, Stalin, Pol Pott, Mao tse, need i say more? Atheist do not kill and murder in the name os atheism, BUT as a result of atheism,
Yes, History will repeat itself if atheist take charge.This is being proven yet again,

Romans 1:19, 20
"...what may be known about God is clearly evident among them, for God made it clear to them.+ 20 For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made,+ even his eternal power+ and Godship."
There you will find that God's existence is deduced by the existence of created things. But God, being spirit, cannot be proven or disproven by a laboratory experiment. It is much like deducing wind is pushing a sail boat, You can see evidence of something when you see the boat moving and its sails ballooning in the direction of travel. But proving, as in a lab, cannot be done unless you know or have knowledge of fluid dynamics.
The same is true for much that cannot be observed directly. Gravity? That is a problem taking the time of many scientists today trying to understand what it is. We "know" it exists, right? Many scientists disagree.
In your Bible read Psalm 36:9. There you will find God being the source of life. That is the problem that totally stumps all science. The ultimate enigma.
Science knows all the chemistry, maybe. They know all the proteins. They see all the molecular structure of living things. Life? Absolutely puzzling.
Yet the Bible says God is the source. Note it does not say God created life. It says he is the source. Very interesting.
Bottom Line
Without God there is no life. No life, no existence. You asked for proof of God's existence. Can you breath? Take a breath. You just proved God's existence.

We're not threatened by you at all! You people don't understand the concept of "faith"! We walk by faith, not by sight! We don't have to see Jesus to know that He exists!
We know that you are blinded by the god of this world, according to 2 Corinthians 4:4. Of course, since you don't believe the Bible, that is kind of a moot argument, isn't it?
There is no way you can prove that God does not exist, but you can try! When Lee Strobel did that, he became a Christian!

The christian God has already been debunked. Most christians believe the bible to be the word of God(as it is said in Timothy). The bible contains numerous ridiculous stories such as Noah's Ark , the Tower of Babel and the claim that everything was created in 6 days. Also it contains numerous atrocities which not even an average human being could commit , let alone an infinite intelligence with infinite wisdom.
The bible was written by men , thus the God of the bible has the characteristics and ethics of the men of the time.

That would be simple, not believe anymore. You say it like there is something that proves God doesn't exist but you don't know what it is. Nothing you think of proves God doesn't exist yet you are so convinced he doesn't. Well did I say you have to believe the bible? What if science really can prove God exists and you don't know because you're not looking. I mean there is a ton of proof for God but it's not like you get an answer in science and tell the world God exists when people are just talking about what the answer is.
What do you think that answer to that is? Oh wait you don't give any credibility and you know nothing. My bad. What do you know about faith? Do you put your faith in anything? Like you for example. How would you know if you existed? Would you ask someone? Do you have to ask? How do you know if everything you learned was wrong? Well in all of your science you could not explain you, how would you know if anything you hear or read applies to you? The only way you exist is because there is something science can't answer. You were already proven there was something beyond this world and you refuse to except it. If you don't accept, your whole world does not exist and you wouldn't have written the books about you and call yourself this collective consciousness that exists without giving yourself any credit for being more than just a word. According to what you believe you don't exist but then you say you do. You say you do because a book tells you? Then you wouldn't exist to write the book. You get what I am saying. You may not think it but everything in your world is wrong as is everyone but a select few and I mean few that has ventured to the edge of reality and returned. I'm not a bible reader because I don't have to read it to know God exists and I wouldn't want you to believe the bible either I mean you can't just believe something a book told you but that doesn't make it wrong. There could actually be a reason that has nothing to do with what a book says. The world is your imagination but it doesn't mean it's imaginary because it's whatever you imagine. All you do is close your mind to the world just completely shut yourself off. You don't even know anything about the real world. I just hope you know your whole world was a lie before you even knew it was. Using your logic it would be impossible for God not to exist or you don't either.
Take a pen. Now draw a picture of the world in your hand. Ask yourself what you know about that world. Then close your hand and ask yourself again. Kind of opens up your world doesn't it? It should because it's true.
I've already said too much and now I have to go on and not leave you stranded on the same ignorance you're standing on. I'm going to make this really simple and leave out most of the things I could say about why God exists. Aliens and God. They have to fit together. I don't think you know but seriously they must fit together. I don't have to disprove evolution but I do have to tell you that it would be impossible without intelligent design. Do you understand that the it takes DNA to make proteins and proteins to make DNA? To make one protein by chance is 1 in 10 to 167th power double than all the atoms in the universe and to get left handed configuration amino acids would take a neutron star or a black hole. Life=no mistake. Aliens exist though so you know that they could not exist by the same means we exist since the time of the beginning of the universe. Our only chance of existence is if by God he created the aliens to make life on earth and I'll tell you a little secret, not only that is true but I've seen it because I have the power to be anywhere at anytime outside of my body. I could look at a car and watch it being built before my eyes in just a flash leading it to where it is now. I had this gift and I set out to know if it was true and what do you know the answer was right there all along. All that **** in the bible I don't need to believe in. All I know is just be good and you'll get into heaven. I could tell you a lot more if you want. If you have any questions like why evolution is impossible without not just intelligent design but intelligent design sustaining it, ask at caseysharp63@yahoo.com
Still not convinced? You got a fifty fifty chance of being right and I don't think you can place a rager of all the souls around you. What do you know about life? Go head, do it, place it all on the line, do it m**f**, do it, you can't can you, you couldn't do that, you wouldn't because you don't know the outcome and the world has been lying to you, and you know it so you don't want to place a bet on it. Where's what you know now? What do you do in life, what are the goals you have for yourself? You only exist in your imagination and then you write a book about it and question your own existence in your imagination. I'll be in the real world where you can find me.
Do you honestly believe a cosmic accident could happen and create life and call it something that just happens in a book?
Deny it all you want but it is always going to be true in the end. You know nothing, you still haven't left the imaginary world you live in. It taught you nothing! Everything it taught you is wrong, you know that right?

Who said that Christians are threatened by anyone? Atheists simply represent a challenge - like the difference between trying to breathe the thin air on top of Mount Everest (non-Bible believing religions) and the vacuum of deep space (atheists). We simply take on the life sustaining breath of God in the form of His Word. The Apostle Paul put it succinctly: "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

The internet is a really an interesting place.. It's easy to say anything behind a computer screen and get away with it. Such is seen by the many insults and rude remarks that are shown by the so many internet atheists that ridicule Christians by majority. Does it threaten me? What makes you think it does? (Look below).

I do not feel threatened by atheists, I'm just annoyed at the general rudeness they exhibit. I believe everyone has the right to believe what they will or not to believe in anything at all. Even God agrees with this. After all, He made people with their own free will. He could've made us so we'd all naturally worship him but He didn't.
- VelmaLv 77 years ago
That is a huge assumption on your part.
Christians have absolutely NO REASON to fear atheists or any other unbeliever.....BUT
THEY have every reason to fear eternity.......
You KNOW WHY...so I do not need to spell it out!
Blessing all with Believing GOD!

As an Atheist i don't hate religion, i just hate when they push an agenda based on their religious beliefs. I will fight with all my heart before that happens. But as long as you keep religion to yourself I have no problem and won;t force my lack of beliefs on you. If people believe in an imaginary friend to get them through life i'm OK with that, because they will die happy and because we cease to exist they will never know they were wrong.
