Question by Jimmy: why is every question in the religion and spirituality subject swamped with athiests?
the Definition of an atheist is not believing god or a higher power.
so no religion… no spirituality…
so how come when questions are posted about god atheists everywhere seemed forced to tell them they are wrong.
isn’t that what you get mad at theists for… explicitly detailing their beliefs and telling everyone… when supposedly no one wants to hear?
without stereotyping… from what ive seen, why is it atheists are so arrogant and hypocritical?
Best answer:
Answer by The Reverend Soleil
1.) It’s “atheists”.
2.) What part of “open forum” is unclear to you?
3.) If your god had any basis in fact, don’t you think he’d be able to handle a little scrutiny without his fanclub crying “foul”?
4.) It’s not “arrogant” to insist on evidence before we’ll take your or your god seriously. It’s called “reasonable skepticism” — you should try it sometime.
But then again…if you ever did, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, now would we?
What do you think? Answer below!
Because we want you to improve your writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling skills. You have spent so much time studying a worthless bronze age book of fiction that few of you can write a proper English sentence. Take your question for example.
Atheists and I’ve are spelled incorrectly.
You start sentences without a capital letter,
You do not use question marks where required.
You sentence structures are abysmal.
We are just trying to get you on the right path.
Oh! And because you are also an atheist.
Well first, they can say anything they want. This is an open forum. Second, they don’t believe in God, and in many cases refuse to. A lot of them are angry about something, and use this avenue to vent. I’m not saying they’re the only ones; not by a long shot. However, it is still very true about them.
They are frightened and lost and in the dark, and so they think that if they shout the loudest, the bogey man won’t get them.
But, he will.
They are the opponents of religion. Some are here just to antagonize, some are here to evangelize, and some are here to learn religious perspectives from religious people. In any open forum regarding religion, expect atheists to be there. When there are gay pride parades or abortion rallies, or even atheist conventions, always is there a Christian or two present. Opposing beliefs and ideologies have to confront one another because to a large degree both are interested in truth and discrediting their opposition. That’s they way it is, and frankly in my view, the way it ought to be.
Why do theists have any involvement in the education system? The definition of a theist is one who chooses faith over logic and reason. So no logic or reason…no education…
However, to answer your question:
Because your ancient superstitions are being forced on society through government, which makes it a hot topic for discussion.
Because religious world views foster misinformation and ignorance leading to increases in the spread of disease, teenage pregnancy, drug and alcohol use, and hate crime.
Because some atheists used to be theists and therefore have an interest in continuing their search for knowledge and struggle against the bonds of their religious upbringing.
And because this is a public forum for the exchange of ideas and this particular section happens to be one of the most entertaining.
Uh, that’s still stereotyping, just like saying “I’m not racist but…” is still racist.
If someone asks a question about which I have a legitimate opinion, I’m entitled to post an answer.
Or are only answers you like allowed??
this is tedious
atheists can be spiritual
atheism is a position/philosophy to do with religion
it can be argued that atheists are dealing in reality and facts
