9.) do atheists try to discredit religions that are not one of the big 3?  

Yeah. I almost think some people like being athiest so that they can argue with people.

I don't waste my time trying to discredit other religions. My time and energy are too valueable for that type of wasteful discussion.

I don't try to discredit anybody and I also don't try to push anything on anybody. Lifes short and everybody has their shit, believe in whatever gets you by and keeps you happy.

 

unless your cotjones...then I will argue

jus becuz im new to a CAR forum doesnt mean i dont have an opinion on RELIGION....k thanks ...... and just because i am a man of science does not mean that i think less of people who are religious cuz a lot of people i know are. Its my p.o.v. that i expressed and if you want to make stupid remarks about atheists, then i will do the same about religion. If you want to make this into an insult contest thats your problem not mine.

so basically what i get from all those questions is they are trying to insinuate that ur only a good person if you believe in god.

if you can honestly say that all those priests that have ***** little children are good people then maybe believing in god is a bad thing.

maybe all the followers of religion are the bad people. i dont want to be associated with child rapists.

I think people are atheists because they cannot grasp the concept free will.

They are mad at god because negative things happen to good people.

They need to get over it.

I for one am an atheiest because nothing that has been said about god can be proven. Somethings may not be able to be explained, but in my mind it was not a higher powers doing, but coincidence. They even proved that the parting of the red sea is possible under certain circumstances.

I have already said that out of respect for my friend Adio I am not getting into this. If you want to start a thread to discuss this further be my guest.

It's not about sceince or religion. It is a matter of common courtesy, which you would do well to try to understand if you are going to be a helpful member on this forum.

Religion terrifies me. To see people that have freedom of will so easily manipulated is sickening. Mindless drones all following hypocrites and blindly believing in nothing of any real value. I have strong morals because I believe in doing what is right. It is truly disturbing that the only reason some people do not go out and commit autrocities is because they are afriad of what god will do when they die. I am a very nice guy and love to help people because it makes me feel good. No religious person I ever met could back up why they believe in god. They throw the word faith around like it is an end-all-be-all answer to everything. They spend so much time thinking of cute little phrases that they cannot open their eyes long enough to see what a waste of energy religion is. Religion and its followers have caused more heartache and suffering than any "devil" could ever dream of. As for the chrisitian values, I am supposed to dedicate my life to the most jealous and petty being ever so that when I die i can worship him some more? no thank you jesus. I also find it repulsive that jesus freaks cna yell in your face in public about how cool jesus is and how I need him but If I call Jesus a figment of a fairytale, people are taken aback like i stabbed someone. Prolly some spelling mistakes in here, but oh well I got my point across. At least you ask some legit questions (although honestly they sounded insulting but its cool)

1.) Just because i dont believe in god does not mean my ideals of right and wrong are that far from yours. Thinking for yourself does not implicate evil.

2.) You're assuming i have no morals because i do not subscribe to your god.

3.) They are based in my interpretation of right and wrong, how i would like to be treated, and how i believe others should be treated.

4.) It benefits everyone. Get that through your fucking head.

5.) Why do i need to compare myself to anyone? I idolize none and think the very act is foolish and degrading. Why cant i just try to be the 'best'? Why do i have to try to be like someone else and live in their image? Is mine not good enough?

6.) I believe in my own ignorance. I acknowledge that i do not know all but dont try to sum it up or make sense of it with some cop out. I cant comprehend this, so it must be gods work. No.... There is a logical explanation. I just do not have the nessicary information to make sense of it. I actually look for answers instead of trying to find a crutch. I accept what i can't do/change, and worry about what i can. I dont need to label it god to make ignorance okay.

7.) These are relaxation techniques and do not necessarily imply the acknowledgment of your god. Even if they were, i highly doubt yoga is a Christian act. Why are you working for someone elses god? How blasphemous.

9.) I dont worry about any of them. I dont really spend much of my time trying to discredit them unless i am put on the defensive. I acknowledge that others have their own beliefs and am happy for them. If you goto church and whatnot, thats great. I hope you enjoy it and wish you luck in whatever end you may find.

However i do find it amusing that 99% of these people who actually do acknowledge their 'sins' and apologize for them will go right back to them as soon as they're out of their church. Then again there has never been as much hypocrisy as when the name 'god' has been mentioned.

8.) What does that have to do with atheism? That is only a theory of a Christian man.
