Why Are Atheist Called Bad People? by ValentineMary(m): 1:05pm On Dec 08, 2015
I have come across many believers who claim that no matter what a non believer do, irrespective of his good works, he can't go to heaven (and the funny thing is that we don't even believe in heaven or hell). But the idea is that many believe that non believers are all bad no matter what they do.
Now I ask a question: Should someone be judged based on his personal ideologies or moral conducts? which is more important, praying in some few Latin words or giving that poor beggar by the road side food
Faith has made people greedy, only thinking of their selves. Even when they do a good, they expect a reward from a supreme deity. That would explain why many people stop doing good when their imaginary friend in the sky no longer hears their prayer. But a non believer who does good, would do it only out of pure human compassion not expecting a reward from Santa Claus.
It is very disappointing that young people even think this way. I wonder then kind of adults they would make, irrational conclusion can never solve human problems.
Even if you might remain deluded for the rest of your life, please don't think that everyone that does not share in your delusion is evil. Have a nice day.

Re: Why Are Atheist Called Bad People? by Nobody: 1:22pm On Dec 08, 2015
I got introduce to a lady by a lady-friend about 7 years back. We got talking and talked about everything and then she asked the big question; What church do you attend? I said "I'm not a christian" Then she said "Are you are Muslim? " I said no,not religious.She said "Listen,I like you but I love Jesus more,and I will not mingle with the devil" Then she picked up her bag and walked way.

Now she is trying to add me on Facebook and sending messages. I heard she got involved with a guy who was secretly married. She found out and broke up with him after 5 years. For the records,she is mixed raced(English and Jamaican). I personally think Caucasian christian are worse than their black counterparts.

My point is,people of faith often judge people of no faith before they know them.

Because somehow people mistake belief in God to mean morality...

Believing in any deity does not make anybody good or bad ... what makes someone good or bad is the effects of your actions on others...

Nice point @ OP. 1 feness chai d lady eh. grin Am just speechless for now.

It just follows. Since God makes us good, one without God is bad. If the atheist can be good without God then God appears weaker and this is undesirable. So the atheist must give way for God.

Every knowledge that doesn't retain God is a sin. God is the author of righteousness and the finisher of the same.
You cannot read the bible with your eye and understand because your heart is the eye of understanding.

Jonnydon22 and Ifeness, biblically, can you differentiate between heart, mind and emotions?

Well sin is a religious construct that bears no weight on the moral tilt of an action..
So i don't care what your religion considers sin, what is right supersedes every arrogant restriction



God is the author of righteousness and the finisher of the same.
Yes the one that drowns everything because they didn't work the way it planned..
i can see what righteousness means and i can tell you it is not for me



You cannot read the bible with your eye and understand because your heart is the eye of understanding.
The part of the brain we refer to as heart in terms of volition is the part in charge of emotions.

Our emotions should never be a determinant to truthful deductions. .

we should judge ourselves by the sincerity of our questions and the depth of our answer and our ability to agree with what is true rather than what feels good or what we so bad want to be true



Jonnydon22 and Ifeness, biblically, can you differentiate between heart, mind and emotions?
I don't need the bible to give my idea of these concepts. I am far more developed than the people who wrote the bible or any other primitive religious book.

Mind: The totality of the volition of a conscious entity

Heart and emotions in this context is no different from the other like i explained above.

Unless you mean the organ that pumps your blood.. lol...

He too knows me wella.
The bible is the author of logic and that is why he became an atheist because of the mystery of the word.

I wish i meet jonnydon in real life, and i will abolish all the atheistic mental awareness.
Afterall, he was once a christian but i have never been an atheist.

He is nothing but a backslider. I can preach to a sinner but not a backslider from the christian faith.
Their greatest argument on nairaland is their greatest expression of foolishness.
Nigeria atheism is a religion, a doctrine, and entirely different from foreign standards.
There are no real atheists in Nigeria, not to talk of nairaland.
Bill Gate is somehow an atheist, but you will never find him debating about the existence of God.
He even allow his wife and children to go to church, and sometimes he himself.
He often goes because he has alot to do on a sunday morning and was busy on his allocation on time resources.

You can't meet an atheist offline in Nigeria because they are always taught the techniques of hidden an identity.

There was atheist in the days of Jesus too, but Jesus never recorgnized them as such.
They requested for signs and many other evidence, but Jesus realized that the children of perdition must surely be destroyed.
Am not surprise that people disbelief in the existence of Jesus, because when he himself manifested in the human form on earth, people still disbelief.

Have you ever see Isaac Newton? You believe in his existence and personality because he satisfy your carnality.

Is not God you hate but his ways, nature, and commandments.

Am also not surprise that you live and die... You are not fit for life.

How relevant is her race to your point?
You really had to let the world know a goddess winked at you and then dumped you like a worthless piece of crap but then to damage control you have to remind the world how she erred and landed in trouble because she lost you?

And the logic behind ur morality is that if u don't do good you would go to hell. That would mean that remove the concept of hell and u end up a serial killer. That would also mean u don't actually have a good moral standing. You just fear hell.

Be very mindful and scared of anybody who thinks he has no reason to do good to a fellow human or encourage societal well being except because he has an angry invisible man somewhere in the sky who wants to torture him forever if he doesn't do it.

Be very careful of such individual

be scared of such person

Because if he ever sometime thinks otherwise (remove the angry invisible torturer) then such person might murder you without thinking.

I am always terrified when i see people who think they have no reason to be good unless they are vying for a reward or trying to escape a punishment
