So because he is an atheist he cannot be wishing people 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Hanuka' again?

Is it a "sin" in Atheism to greet people, compliments of whatever season their tradition or religion permits?

I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING!!!

Why is this a big deal
Is this like a life changing event
The thing going on with mark in the news is Avril lavringe critisising him for poking fun at Canadian rock band nickleback in his JARVIS AI video
Why should anyone care
Did anybody become an athiests because of mark
And at the same time he considers religion important
Even though he's not an atheist there are a lot of athiests that show regard for religion too
Jodie foster is a good example
Smh

Seun:
On facebook, in reply to his Christmas and Hanukkah greeting, someone asked Mark Zuckerberg, but aren't you atheist?" He replied, "No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."

This is unfortunate. If not for the explicit "no", I would have said that he was dodging the question, but he said it. He threw atheism under the bus. He has made it very clear to everybody that he doesn't identify as an atheist and doesn't want to be considered as an atheist. Bless him. This doesn't mean he's not an atheist, of course; an atheist is simply someone who doesn't hold a belief in the existence of any God.

I don't believe for one second that Mark believes in the existence of the Jewish God. The one who forbade Jews from eating pork instead of teaching them how to cook it properly. Who created foreskins to protect the sensitive tips of male organs, but then ordered the Jews to cut them off their newborn babies. Who permitted Jews to enslave foreigners and treat them as property, even though he created all people. Who made women menstruate but then declared that a menstruating woman is unclean, and anyone who touches her - even her husband - is also unclean. Who banished children of single parents and their descendants from entering his temple for 400 years (the 10th generation).

I don't believe that Mark believes in that God. And since he hasn't talked about any other God, I continue to believe that he is an atheist. He may choose to call himself an agnostic, a cultural Jew, or whatever helps Facebook and his family, but that doesn't mean he's not an atheist.

There's a term used to describe situations like yours where a person refuses to accept a new thought that contradicts what he/she believes even without proof, it is called Cognitive Dissonance and this is what you seem to be suffering from going by those sentences.

The man has said he is NOT an atheist, yet here you are insisting on it. Do you know him personally?

4kings:

What phase are you guys always talking about.
Mark started questioning religion at the age of 13.

Do you know how old Seun is.
Or do you have an experience of this "phase", I would like to know.

What has age got to do with when someone starts questioning everything? It can happen at anytime.

@Seun,

How important is Mark Zuckerberg in the Atheist sphere ?

Anyone that believes that God does not exist is a FOOL. My Bible tells me so. Seun is among them. Hope your name is not OLUWAseun. May be you are OGUNSEUN OR IFASEUN

Seun claimed to be an atheist but why he put OLUWAseun in his name still baffles me...

The guy states clearly that he's not atheist and you become sad and start analysing what his God did and did not do.
Since you choose to be atheist please go ahead with your choice and stop questioning another man's choice.
I hope you understand it better by and by just like Mark did.

sinaj:
who knows if Mark was his role model

The trailer really jam him

seun right now

kodded:
seun right now

lol

who told you people seun is an atheist? if he is one why is he protecting Islam.....any time you want to comment on Islamic related topic, you will see a clause that you believe that MHD is the true prophet..seun is a Muslim

Seun:

If you cut it, it will not grow back, but if you don't cut it, you can still cut it later. So it's better not to cut it. Why did God create it, in your view?

And you thought this made sense

There is a name bible calls anybody that does not believe in the existence of God. Who can remind me again?

epistleNow:
@Seun,

what is an atheist shpere or did you coin the term

Seun:

so why do doctors cut babies umblical cord then God created it

Seun,I can see that you think you have valid points....1)what force holds the spherical globe ( earth ) while rotating without falling off, (2) why has man not evolved into new beings maybe humans with wings atl east we have need for flying now than ever before,(3)have you ever seen the eye of a just a simple house-fly under a microscope ,you would see how highly detailed the " construction " was ,you believe all that was just a ' fluke'...even the construction of the human brain is another awesome marvel on its own ............there are several points/consideration that points to the fact that God exists, you might not know Him,there's nothing wrong about that but He's alive

If Suen no believe in God y is he makin it his business to make sure evrryone does? Baba eveyone nids sometin to believe in stop forcin atheism on others

sinaj:
lol

I pray he won't commit suicide and then they blame it on mmm

siralos135:


Why should he? What percentage of facebook users care abt d religious orientation of mark.

To your question about the percentage of facebook users that care about religion, here is an excerpt from an article...

according to data compiled by the trade blog AllFacebook, six of the 20 most-engaged pages are religiously-affiliated, with the first and second slots going to The Bible and Jesus Daily pages. With over 31 percent of Facebook users in the U.S. listing a religion in their profile, it's become apparent that, when it comes to engagement, religion reigns supreme, beating out everything from pop star pages to thoseof pro sports teams.

Edenoscar:

Coined

It's Sphere, and am sure Seun will understand.

ireneony:

Very good question

DeSepiero:
What if Mark lied?

Richie0974:
Mark would do anything to keep the facebook family from getting frenzied, that I think is the reason for his answer.

JhyMedex:

We won't expect Mark to explicitly say he's Atheist... His business might b at Risk...

I'm not an Atheist, don't categorize me as such.

I believe a man is allowed to choose which ever and whatever path he see fit. If he choose atheism, so be it, if he choose otherwise, so be it.

Trying to say a man is an atheist or not is trying to decide for that man. Which I believe, it's nonsense, since we can't influence anybody's actions.

Lmao there should be a new book written right about now called THE ATHEIST ZIG ZAGGING. See them giving excuses for Mark Zucky like they are his PRO when the man answered his own questions by himself. They are all trying to analyze a two letter word "NO". How can one analyze NO again pls.

what kind of delussion is this?
