Why Do Atheist Believe There Is No God? by Nobody: 1:56am On Dec 20, 2020
This question has always bordered me. I have read some materials on evolution, even though I am not a Darwinist.

As a student of Egyptology and Acientology, I have been privileged to read some old books on the history of mankind, and the various beliefs.

Permit me to posit that one thing that cut across most ancient history and tradition of mankind, from the barbarians, to ancient Egypt, Ethiopia, Greece, Spartan, Athens, Rome, Great Britain, as well as, ancient Asia and Africa history, as been the firm believe that there Exist a supreme being, who controls the affairs of men, regardless of the name we choose to call or address him.

I still recall the first time I flew on a plane. I couldn't help but wonder where is heaven, if all I saw were clouds.

At the same, I could only marvel about God and the wonders of his creation. The Earth is beautiful and so are the clouds.

Having looked around, I can't help but wonder why someone will choose to simply believe there is no God.

All I can ask is why?

Kindly educate my ignorance.

Shalom.

The so-called Atheist who claimed they don't believe in God is the first to shout” oh my God! When something terrifying happens to them. They are just a bunch of hypocrites and ignorant human beings on planet Earth. We all believe in science and technology but science has not been able to create a living soul. The formation of another being when sperm and a women's egg meet, the ability for humans to fall asleep and wake up, the air we breathe, for without air there will be no living soul. All this is not by scientific method or power. If anyone says there is no God, or they don't believe that God exists, is just plain stupid.

Most of them are former Church goers and Muslims so their unbelief is driven religiously.

Most are viewing from the illogical or ambiguous angle of the Bible and Quran.....as u will see many of them argue and make mockery with statement like virgin birth, talking animal, hell etc

Some lost their loved one...u will perceive in their arguement that they are angry at God and choosing unbelief is just easier

the media presents something cooler these days...that atheist are cool, free, have unshackled mind, and are brilliant thinkers...who doesn’t want to be one of those with free and unshackled mind?

This comment reeks of ignorance.
First of all.
There are thousands of gods.
So when an atheist says "oh my god", he could be referring to any out of the thousands. Secondly, isn't calling your god's name in vain a sin? So if an Atheist says "oh my god", or "oh my fvcking god", shouldn't that prove a point that they're free to say whatever they like with your god or any god's name without fear? So you're the one who shouldn't say "oh my god" because you'd be committing a sin by calling your god's name in vain.
Thirdly, science hasn't been able to create life, yes.
But science has done more than what any imaginary god could have done.
Lastly, your god doesn't exist.

First thing you need to understand is what the definition of atheism is. In simple terms, atheism is the rejection of belief in any gods. Once you understand this, the next thing to know is there are different subsets of atheists. Some atheists do indeed say there are no gods while some atheists say they don't know if any exists. Still other atheists say the concept of a god is a meaningless term and so cannot even be resolved. This leads to a situation where you simply cannot lump all atheists into one subset if you are not addressing the main premise. You make that mistake by saying atheists say there is no god. This is an over generalisation that cannot go unchallenged.

I for one do not know if any gods exists because to me we have not explored enough of our universe to be able to conclude that no gods exist. However I do not believe in any gods anyway since none have been evidenced sufficiently to ascribe any of the many attributes that are usually granted to these gods.

Exactly. And what i love the most about the Bible is that disagreeing with what God said will not make God to change His mind from judging the world out from His Book (Romans 3:3-4 kjv). For instance, if a man decides the jump down from the top of a high rise building, will that make gravity not to apply? Haha. The man must hit the ground.

The problem with being unintelligent is that you can't even do a proper self-assessment before voicing your position. This argument you just made can be applied to anyone.

Christians don't believe in the Islamic god because they are stupid and dont like what the Quran says about their end. That's valid too.

Well I love my foolishness. (1 Corinthians 3:18 kjv) "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise". I’m a fool for Christ, not that sexual pervert that stole most of his writings from the Old Testament Bible.

His counter was never valid. I don’t like a lukewarm, God hates it. It’s better to be the man who has done extensive research with the right heart and make up his damn mind on where he stands, than the man who is not sure. If he is truly a practicing Muslim, he should know that Christians are stupid according to Mohammed and the stupidity shouldn’t not apply to them. Just like me, I’m a Christian, and all unbelievers are stupid for rejecting Jesus. So he can’t just claim my statement can apply to anybody. I want him to see me the same way. I don’t want to be politically correct, I want to be correct. I’m a fool for Christ, and I love it.

The real hypocrites are Christians and Moslems. You people go about insulting people that don't care about your existence. You believe in God, fine, not everyone should and would. What has your useless God done for Nigerians?

Why are people still poor and dying of hunger and poverty if God exists? Why is China ( a atheist society) way advanced than you religious bigots? The worst hypocrites are Christians, they would put a loudspeaker on your window in the name of night vigil, they don't even care about the occupants of the environment they are disturbing with their senile noise. If that's how to show love to the society, then it's plain stupidity.

Let me stop here, your mates in China just launched the SUN, keep disturbing yourself about atheists.

Proudly Atheist.
Previously Agnostic.

Everyone should strive to Enjoy their lives, that's what matters.
