Question by JudiBug: Why do atheists come to the religion and spirituality section?
Do you think that maybe deep down they regret not having an spiritual relationship with God and are angry about it, so they come to this spot knock everything they can think of about religion and spirituality?

Atheists can be spiritual too. They also might want to learn about religion. Why does anyone come on here?
Neuuuuu.
ARG! ARG!
STOP ASKING THIS QUESTION!
This is where I feel most loved. **sigh**
“Why do atheists come to the religion and spirituality section?”
1. Kid, if you people didn’t go to such extraordinary lengths to try to convince us that all that invisible sky critter stuff wasn’t any more than primitive superstition you’d probably never hear from us.
2. A-theism is NOT a religion BUT it is a religious position.

I come to convert people to Atheism.
I’m here because I find other people’s views (when expressed without threats or swearing) very interesting. And I like to think that others may value my opinion too.
I am a Christian and I dont think that is why a lot of Atheist come to this site. I think they do it because the are very passionate about what the believe. Even if its nothing.
Because people like you invite us to answer.
they enjoy to mock other ppl’s beliefs
Mostly to ridicule Christianity. They think that’s fun.

No, and I think your presumptuous arrogance is rather annoying.
I come here because it is necessary to counteract the voices of willful ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and superstition, with the occasional voice of reason and rationality, and I really don’t want to live in the Dark Ages (which was the last time we let you guys hold the reins).
No, the ignorant Christian questions show up on the home page along with everybody else’s.
We have saved this section from being boring and mundane.
You should be eternally grateful.
They are welcome also. While they are in r/s they can learn a little about God also.
Because, despite what your parents want to tell you, they’re insightful and want to see the way others think. Just like overweight people are allowed to give diet and fitness advice.
No, we come here for the amusing staw-man arguments that theists like to invent to tell other theists about atheists.

I guess. also, theists come to R&S to post whiny passive-aggressive “questions” because they have to be reassured every day that their beliefs aren’t silly.
Im coming here to share my experience in Christianity. I am an ex born again Independent Baptist minister. I dropped out of Christianity and religion in general.
You probably heard the name of “SLAUGHTER HOUSE RELIGION” given to Christianity. ALL Christians need to snack God the Son Jesus Christ in some way as part of the “salvation” package. Jesus talked about eating his meat and drinking his blood to go to Heaven when you die! It has nothing to do with “sins”… unless you are into some morbid fetish!
John 6:53 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you (DUCK!), Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
It takes years of Christian and/or Catholic schooling to learn how to serve the Holy Communion just right, or Christians can get real sick and die! Protestants have relaxed this warning, but Catholics still believe that the Host* (*wafer) and Wine is magically transformed into the ACTUAL spit flavored Meat and sweaty Blood of Jesus. In some parishes extraordinary measures are taken after Mass to monitor that no trace of the body of Jesus Christ is found in any spent chewing gum stuck under the Church pews, or anywhere else!
1 Corinthians 1:29-30 (KJV) For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many SLEEP* (*have died. More Mafia talk! Low IQ Christians who are sick are screwing up the Holy Communion, or how else can they get sick? Spiritually speaking, of course!).
The Christian writers of the NT were delighted to declare that in fulfillment of Bible prophecies Jesus Christ’s flesh was beaten to a pulp, thoroughly tenderized, and heavily marinated in Roman soldiers’ spit, as the “spotless Lamb of God taking away the sins of the world” while hanging totally naked nailed to a Holy Cross.
Job 17:6 (NIV) God has made me* (*Jesus) a byword to everyone* (*that is when “God the Father laid on HIM the iniquity of us all”), A MAN IN WHOSE FACE PEOPLE SPIT* (*this is about the most paramount prophecy about Jesus Christ! Preachers play cool on this one for obvious reasons!).
Many years after Jesus died, the Christian NT Bible writers run amok. coming up with events in the alleged life of God the Son Jesus Christ that fulfill Bible prophecies, and this is one of them! It is kinda dungy spiritually speaking, of course, but there is hardly any other “prophecy” in the Bible that the NT writers made fit more precisely than that one, from the Book of Job!
Matthew 26:67 (NIV) Then they SPIT IN HIS FACE and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him.
Matthew 27:30 (NIV) They SPIT ON HIM, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
Mark 14:65 (NIV) Then some began to SPIT AT HIM; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
Mark 15:19a (NIV) Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and SPIT ON HIM.
That’s almost a gallon of Goy spit, not Jewish, but Gentile spit! The Christians go wild preaching that the Jews rejected Jesus, but the ultimate form of the most humiliating spitting rejection ever put together comes from the Romans, not from the Jews! There is no record that the Jews paid the Romans to spit on Jesus’ face, either! The Gospel writers imply that there was something very repulsive about Jesus’ personality that invited a lot of Roman spit! No Holy Roman authority EVER apologized for having had a field day spitting on Jesus’ face, and for having nailed him on a Holy ROMAN Cross. The Roman Christians were ruling Europe for so many centuries, but they always blamed the Jews! I am telling like it is, and I still keep getting email calling me a blasphemer!
There is no historical record that the Roman soldiers ever let their victims take a shower after a heavy dose of spitting. Honestly, the Roman soldiers were not known to chew tobacco, or to spit on anybody! The Bible writers had to show that this prophecy about “spitting on his face” was fulfilled! There is no record that the Roman soldiers dressed any of their victim’s genital area in a white diaper before nailing them to any cross no matter how holy! There is no record that the Romans crucified anybody in Jerusalem, either. The Romans were much better known to IMPALE their victims driving a thick pole into the victim’s rectum and forcing them to stand on it until the pole would eventually pierce the heart or lung killing them by their own body weight! The thicker the pole, the longer it took for the victim to die! The Roman soldiers had plenty of fun that way! Jesus hardly suffered a sissy man’s death hanging his full body weight so gently from a nail in each hand. The nails can’t possibly hold anybody hanging in there for any length of time! Christians are brainwashed to believe that crucifixion is the most tormenting death ever invented! Not so! Impalement would have been a real pain in Jesus’ anal cavity and still fulfill Bible prophecy about “hanging on a tree!” If Jesus were to have a pole jammed up into his anus his eyes would be popping out of their orbit, and he would be crying out like a charm non-stop day and night, for his Daddy God watching from the Sky! According to the Christian Bible writers, Jesus Christ was able to conduct a long painless conversation with his peers nailed to the other crosses, and with some of the guests at the crucifixion site, and with the Roman soldiers that crucified him, all in “Yiddish,” although the conscripted Roman foot soldiers spoke only Latin (Luke 23:38)! Obviously the whole “crucifixion” story is a hoax, and I want my money back!
About 500 years ago, the Protestants wised up and removed the hanging corpse of the dead Jesus Christ from the Cross. Now, only Catholics still display a dead body nailed to the Holy Cross. Human gullibility, aka “faith” is a mighty powerful force, without it nobody would buy a used car! ALL Christians and Catholics must snack on Jesus’ spit flavored Meat and drink his sweaty blood in the Sacrament of the Holy Communion, aka “The Lord’s Supper” to go to “Heaven” when they die! Christianity is a very primitive religion. Most people in America are unable to function without it! And, I am still getting TDs for telling like it is in the Bible, even from some otherwise intelligent Christians!
I believe that there are some serious flaws in Christianity that need to be addressed. I am fully aware that my answers upset a lot of professional preachers, and perhaps some members of the Clergy, but they know that Christianity is not going to collapse overnight. I try to be a polite as I can. I am sorry if I have unduly offended anybody.
I come here to learn from the religious….NOT.
This is the section for discussion of religious topics. Atheism is a position on a religious topic, therefore discussion involving atheism goes here rather than in the pets section or the etiquette section.
I had a spiritual relationship with God once. Then I had a spiritual relationship with my spirit guide, after than I had a spiritual relationship with the Mother Goddess, and so on. I finally realized that my brain was manufacturing all those relationships for me.
Do you think the Christians who post in the LGBT section are angry about not being able to openly live their lives as gays? And those who post on atheist sites regret their belief and want to knock atheism? That’s the only reason someone would go to a section in which things they don’t agree with are discussed, right?
Because Spirituality has nothing to do with religion. Spirituality doesn’t mean ‘religious.’ I think you are the one that is angry about not being able to sell your god to others like a used car salesman, no offense, but that’s what it feels like on this side of the coin. “Annoying.” I’m sure you wouldn’t like being solicited either.
Spirituality is the freedom to explore your own Spirit, not someone else’s. It’s the right to have your own personal beliefs and thoughts, the freedom to do your own research, etc. Religion is organized thoughts and beliefs, there is nothing free about it.
Mind your own business, and I’ll mind mine.
Have you ever heard the saying “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist?”
All we have to do as Christians is believe in view of the evidence that Jesus is Lord and died on the cross for our sins.
They have to believe that this is all by chance. To have that kind of faith you need a huge support network.
God Bless you
Would it surprise you to know that maybe deep down we are actually want to converse, talk about stuff?
Simple as it may seem not everyone is here to drag you down and we even have christians that we like, imagine that..Lol
Take it for what it is until pr oven otherwise, we won’t always agree but we can agree to differ.
