we aint saying same thing. the difference is as clear as night and day.
You are saying an atheist wannabe can exist who actually does not believe in god.
i am saying such cannot exist. an atheist wannabe can only exist if he actually believes in god.
so how can some one who does not believe in the existence of any god be an atheist wannabe? then what is a real atheist then?

you two are suffering from poor education. an elementary level grasp of english is sufficient for you to know we aint saying the same thing
I never said all what you claim I said.
I have explained myself, but you are bent on not learning it. Rather, you are forcing how you understand it on me.
It doesn't work that way my friend.


Then you resorted to adhominem, just for the fact that you don't understand what we have both explained.

Sincerely. Being an atheist is really hard.

It's better to be a Christian in Afghanistan than to be an atheist in Nigeria.

Disbelieving is only as hard as threading a camel through the needle's eye if you can not become as a child.

Once you become as a child, the absurdity of believing jumps out at you.

Pelecius:
I wonder how wannabe atheists enjoy self delusion, like the ones stated by op. I think it makes them feel good and "intellectually" fulfilled.

Most times, wannabe atheists objections are outright straw man. Let's consider his points.

1. Emotion is part of every human. Being a religious person (I'll argue for Christianity henceforth) does not make you more emotional than an atheist. First point.
Secondly, it is not a MUST that you listen to gospel songs. And gospel songs don't ONLY talk of emotional stuff. You are assuming too much here. And most movies don't end in tragedy, gospel movies included. Or are you implying that movies where good overcome evils are gospel?
The reality of being a sinner is not to appeal to anyone's emotion. The saving grace of Christ is evident as hard criminals turn to peaceful and loving people.
If you are not happy with it, it doesn't make you right. On the other hand, you seem to have just expressed your own emotions (maybe to make you feel good)

2. To hope also is universal, whether an atheist or a theist. Just that what one hopes on differs.
Again, you've stated two behaviors of humans generally, but tried to use it in disparaging religion.
Your "hoping on the impossible" is a straw man for the Christian faith. There's the instructions for WORK + faith and that of WATCH + pray. Most wannabe atheists set up straw man to attack. So a Christian does not hope while doing nothing just as a scientist does not hope to get results without experiments.

3. Like you already stated, having a family or urge to belong to a family is also universal. Now, your last statement of wanting an apostate to leave miserably is unfounded claim. It's just in your head. In fact, it's not a Christian thing to do.

4. Irresponsibility
This is where you just merely expressed your emotions. Your very first statement is another unfounded claim. You went on to prove it by other unfounded claims.
Seems that your ignorance of what Christianity teaches is just overwhelming and you must of think that Christianity is limited to Nigerian culture where evil forces are the order of the day.
Pick a Bible and study, it'll save you these unfounded claims you bring up.

5. Appeal to Authority.
You seem to write this to justify your alleged atheism. Using the Bible truths to train up children is not wrong, except you show otherwise. It definitely contains moral absolutes with which we can build a sane society (most atheistic influence nations actually built their morals on religion, and I'm not saying atheists can't be moral - though, there's no justification for that).
Your claim that atheist must work to earn his respect is even a Biblical principle also (Prov 24:22).

6. No need to think?
This is where you got it all wrong. You just don't know what Christianity teaches, so you invent one to make yourself look sophisticated.
The Bible encourages critical thinking and it was this that led to the rise of modern science (I believe you were not expecting this). Scriptures include:
A. Test things and hold on to what's true. 1 Thess 5:21
B. Only fools believe just anything. Prov 24:15
C. The Berean Christians checked what Paul said to see if it's correct. Acts 17:11
And other scriptures.

It turns out that wannabe atheists enjoy some delusions to feel good of their rebellion against God by cooking up what Christianity does not teach and rubbishing it. A simple logical fallacy called straw man.
But those are easily knocked down (then they mostly shift ground to bring up another topic without acknowledging being wrong).
Just as the scripture says:
The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. Prov 18 vs 17
Just ignore that foo.l. You'll be wasting your breath for nothing.

what do you mean by wannabe atheist? you mean there are people who believe in god or lets even be specific, are Christians, yet come out to say there is no god or they dont believe in god? how is that even possible? are you even thinking at all or just want to talk for the sake of talking. just listen to your own crap. wanna be atheist my foot! you are an atheist just pretending to be an christian. you are a wanna be christian for sure.
HardMirror. You were never a Christian. You attended church, but you never knew anything about salvation which puts you in a place of relationship with Christ.
Pls stop deluding yourself.

After this many years, you are still this stupid. Read what you typed if it makes any sense.

When you embarked on a 70 days fast demanding that the prophecies of God gets nullified, did you ask God to prove Himself to you?

I doubt you even had a Bible through out your teenage age you attended church and called yourself a Christian. If you had the Bible, even if you doubt it, you won't be talking so stupidly.

This is where I find it difficult not to insult some of you. Hardmirror clearly said he was once a Christian, a firebrand one at that until he lost his faith in God yet you're arguing again with the fact that he was ever a Christian but church goer. Smh

You do realise that the bible does teach that it is possible to be a Christian and leave the faith?
In fact it says it's impossible for such a person to ever become a Christian again.

Hebrews 6:4-6
"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt."

So either this bible verse played out in his life in which case the Christian God is real.
Or the Christian idea of God isnt real and he's free to live his life on his own terms.

You on the other hand can either show us how to be a good Christian and pray for him or prove you're just another church-goer and keep insulting him and everyone who disagrees with you.

Hardmirror is just like you. He doesn't know what it means or what it takes to be a Christian. You as a muslim claim you love Jesus, when you do not know the letter 'J' in Jesus. So also Hardmirror thinks sitting in Church in his teenage age made him a Christian.

No, I don't doubt that. It's very possible for materialism or persecution to make someone run away out of cowardice and hide from Satan. As many have ran to Islam out of the Islamic persecution thinking they will be spared. If only they know what awaits them beyond the grave.

It's laughable for you a Muslim to quote that passage. It calls Jesus the son of God. Doesn't allah deny that Jesus is not his son? Or is allah not your god again.

3. Have you ever heard of the Fruit of the Spirit?

4. Calling someone an idiot (fool) according to Jesus makes you hellbound. So for a professing Christian you should be very afraid that Jesus has condemned you to hell already.

5. You have not contributed any value to the topic of this thread but as typical of people with low IQ you have resorted to mud-slinging and cheap rhetoric that only magnify your lack of any valuable opinion or idea.

muslims hate Atheists even more than Christians. i am not going to claim we suffer much though. the major reason why christians are still hated in the middle east is not because of their faith, it is because the religion is associated with america and they hate america even more than the devil.

You're not going to be killed but pitied for being an atheist. If you go to extremist places, the same fate that awaits the Christians will be accorded to you. Your close friends and relatives will wisely keep their social distance though. Ultimate biblical folly can be highly contagious so i don't blame them. Ask Achan and Joshua.
