Saename - If some people believe that, that's fine. I don't mind. I used to believe that myself. I just came to the conclusion that there's no need for me to have faith in an unfalsifiable claim.
The above is directed at looter. I'm clarifying this because I noticed that rebelfighter posted something as well, so I want to avoid confusion...
Vivian,
Christians have choices, we as a human race are not robots we can choice what we believe. So if we choice to believe in a religion we can pick one that best fits our belifs.
Some of us even believe in God and do not believe in the Bible.
Hope some of these people wake up, atomant, and pray to God now. That's a bad way of life to live hating believers because of your own stubbornness to not give credence to God.
I'm glad you made the decision for yourself and no one else. The problem with it sometimes is that if an atheist has been abused when he used to believe in God, he is trying to help those you currently have faith. Unfortunately, he has to realize that not everyone needs the 'help' against God and that it works for people, Saename. Sometimes it stems from genuine help but other times it is from just plain bitterness
Yes looter l have great difficulty trying to understand how ex believers can so quickly turn their backs on god and outright deny gods existence.

Think about how this would sound coming from a JW. "I have great difficulty trying to understand how ex believers can so quickly turn their backs on God's One True Organization and outright deny The Truth.

By the way, I think you may have to understand that being knowledgeable does not mean that you have to use big words.
This is what I've been taught by English teachers all my life. If you're knowledgeable and wise, then you will actually avoid big words to ensure that the meaning of the message is not lost in the readers' minds......Saename
Your absolutely right..
I had this same conversation with a buddy of mine..
A retired English Teacher with a Masters in Linguistics..
lm certain many unbelievers in here will silently turn to god on their death bed and pray for forgiveness just in case.Cofty might even be one of them. - atomat
There is not even a remote possibility of that happening. I have faced the prospect of death more than once in recent years and the idea of appealing to a deity did not even cross my mind.
All I am saying is you need to qualify your statement - Rebelfighter
No I don't. The context is the consequences of belief in an absolute standard of morality. I cited three good examples that represent millions of christians.

How about just choosing to follow the evidence?

I don't know of any atheists who hate believers. That's just your silly persecution complex.

It's easy. Follow the evidence.
