6 Reason Not To Be An Atheist (but A Believer [christian]). by Nobody: 1:08am On Jun 18, 2017
1. The devil has you in his palms: You are in total control by the devil. some atheist don't believe in the "spiritual life/realm" thing. I must tell you, as far as there is a physical life, there is also a spiritual life. You are blinded by the devil to the spiritual cause of your opinion or belief. The devil controls your mind and has "spiritually brainwashed" you. You have been glued only to your physical life and the things around you. We walk by faith and not by sight. Hopefully, only God can anoint the atheist with his "eye salve" or give them an "eye opener" so they could see and know the mystery of their careless opinion and carelessness.


2. You have a soul/hell exist: Now, there is a fine line between a"being" and a "soul" ... Your soul is alive as your "being" is also alive. Your soul is connected with your spiritual life and your being is connected with your physical life. In the first book of Moses, Genesis2:7; God breathed into man and man became a living soul. When you die you end up in hell. Ezekiel18:4;Behold, all souls are mime...the soul that sins shall die. You are not justified by your faith, so you end up in hell. Hell is real. There is life after death. There is eternity(but not on earth). Ecclesiastes12:7; then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit(soul) shall return to God who gave it. The word of God says; it is appointed for men to die once after this judgement. You die once and you face God's judgement and end up in heaven with him(eternal life) or in hell(death). In hell, the fire never quench or die, because souls will burn there for eternity. Isaiah66:24; And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither is their fire be quenched: and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh. Hell is real, believe it or nor. Your choice as an atheist!


3. You are in terrible danger/your myths won't deliver you: the bible talked about such people. Yes! Jude1:4,10,12, 13, 16,18,19; For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feed with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds: trees whose fruit withers , without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots: 13. Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their shame: wandering stars , to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. 16. These are murmurers , complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. 18. How that they told you that they should be mockers in the last days, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the spirit. You should read the whole chapter 1 of jude. Our God is a consuming fire. Not a God of baal, not a God made with hands. He is the God of the whole universe, who created man. Man never created himself or came in existence by chance or by myth. God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.


And... God created animals and humans. He made man in his own image, according to the book of genesis. Animals don't have souls like humans because God did not create animals in his own image. He never created aliens( such things are human ideas). Animals don't have souls, so they don't have an "after life" I.e life after death.(As some atheist may think)


Moreover... We humans perish for lack of knowledge. The same was said by God in his word; My people perish for lack of knowledge.


Finally... There is one thing atheist should know; "you indirectly worship the devil for not believing in the existence of God almighty" your choice begins from here or somewhere!

Colossians2:8; Beware, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men and after vain the rudiments of this world, and not after Christ.

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.
—PSALM 100:1–5

Psalm53:1; THE fool hath said in his heart, there is no God, corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

A long fictional write-up!

No atom of reality in it. It's either a book said, or an heaven or hell you have no concrete proof they exist, or its about a devil and God that were characters in a Middle-East story-book.

I love head-on reality with facts and occurrences. Same way you would have wanted me to believe that Tom and Jerry exist in real life.

This is the problem, why not rebuke the bad leaders in this country and in the world for peace and prosperity to spread. You are here wasting your saliva, the young man told you the truth. That story was all about middle east, find your own and write your bible.

Atheism is a temporary delusion. Whether here (earth) or there (afterlife), the outcome is certain - strong belief that God exists. Their constant denial and argument all sum up to an unavoidable and inescapable conclusion of God's existence.

4. If you know you can't handle Reality Don't be an Atheist! most people require imaginary stuff to make their life more fulfilled as an Atheist there is no room for that, As an Atheist, you take responsibility for your actions and not blame it on one imaginary entity

Religiosity destroys intellectual engagements.

How can someone write on a public forum and refer to a single ancient manuscript as the only source of information?

Also, the op has failed to present any logical propositions to back up his claims. At least, your sentences should be coherently arranged so we'll know the premises on which you arrived at this "reasons".

For a start, check up the meaning of reason or reasoning before you create a thread next time.

I beg to disagree. If you truly want to determine what is real or true, you need to avoid any form dogmatism in this quest.

If God truly exists, atheism is the best way to start.

You have to begin somewhere to arrive at a conclusion. Standard logical reasoning. Objective research demands you to start off without bias.

Atheism is not the best way to start. Panentheism/pantheism/deism is the best way to start. If atheism is "disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods" how can you carry out a meaningful research holding the above view?

Starting off an experiment with "God exists" is not being bias, it is called hypothesis. The field of quantum physics will sooner than later prove that God is an infinite consciousness and source energy, The first cause that caused the creation and unity.

Technically speaking, there are no atheists since every one owes allegiance to something which can pass as god.

The problem is that you're basing your hypothesis on something that is already a foregone conclusion in your own mind. Your thinking that quantum physics would prove that there is a universal consciousness and infinite source of energy gives that away. A purely scientific view would test whether or not a universal consciousness or infinite source of energy exists in the first place.

It is unscientific to build a hypothesis that is not open to modification. If your hypothesis is "God exists," until there is empirical evidence, you cannot conclude prove your hypothesis. If your defined method of experimentation does not find God, you have to conclude that your hypothesis is flawed and work to modify it.

Seems devil like having successful people in his palms, just like they said "rich man entering heaven is like a camel crossing the tiny hole in a needle, what they used in giving the poor hope while they live extra vagrantly,
Saying someone is blinded by the devil while u can't even prove the existence of the devil, that u were steadily told about devil when growing up not only by parents, society but also promoted through entertainment doesn't mean u can't think and state things clearly with facts.

Feeling that billions of people would go to hell while u make heaven is an act of selfishness, note that there are up 3000+ religions here on earth and only one religion is required to make heaven, and the the worst, u just grew up not giving the chance of thinking which religion is the sure way for heaven, meaning u didn't make the choice by urself, Religion took away ur thinking ability, ur forefathers have the own religion b4 they were overpowered by stronger force of another religion.

I was only trying to bring a light on such peoplee(if u are probably one of the a theists). it's more of 'getting you to know atheism is exasperating to me.' when I hear of such people they annoy me wiith with their vain words and carelessness.

no. religions didn't create hell, but God did. the only one and existing living God who created heaven and earth created hell too.but not for humanity but for satan and his angels(the demons) but the devil mislead people and they endvup in hell with him instead of heaven with God. that's why our lowly jesus left his throne in heaven and manifested himself in flesh and dwelt amongt us 2000 years ago to die for our sins, but because of lack of repentancy humanity ends up in hell.

Why would u talk negative abt religion if u believe in jesus, heaven, hell, why would people prefer to end up in hell if their z pure evidence abt God, why would God give Satan power to take control of his creations, why would God do ritual sacrifice with his son only for him to be pleased,

my best answer is for you to search the holy scriptures(the word of God) provided you are willing to do so. meditate on it and you will find your best answer. God will speak to you through it. Don't let men put you to confusion.
