Maynman:Anyone who REJECTS the True Creator or REPLACES Him with SOMEONE/SOMETHING else is by default for SATAN! In that wise, an atheist is a satanist! |

most times it's best to play along to avoid questions like this. People ask as though you've had a probably terrible situation as a christian before you decided to become an atheist. As for me, I'm neither a christian or Muslim or atheist or traditional. I practice new thought movements and to save plenty questions, I just say I'm a christian, so that everybody go rest. As if it's a crime to discover yourself and disconnect yourself from the pattern that's been laid down. thesicilian: 5 Likes |

TenQ: Anyone who BELIEVES he knows the “true creator” is a THEIST. A ALLAH worshipper is a theist, a Baal worshipper is a theist, a yahweh worshipper which you are one is a theist. Satan is a deity, only theists worship deities!! Do you know the meaning of “atheism” and “theism”. Be factual and leave out emotions. 6 Likes |

Jennygold111: They never do, ask them how God came to be and they can't say, but want you to prove how everything was formed. Truth is no one can really explain how things came to be, there are different theories, the Bible, Koran, big bang, Confucian, etc. But none of these is plausible enough to prove without doubt . 3 Likes |

Jennygold111:. Good morning Jenny Gold, I am not an atheist but am not religious.. I like to think I find meaning in my life in my spiritual growth and understanding. I may not relate with your experience directly but I can share similar suspicion and misunderstanding from family and religions people who fail to see when you are coming from.. I think you don't need to explain to anybody. Something l recently realise that works is to leave/avoid religious people to live in their delusion/way of thinking. Do not challenge their view or perspective of coping with life. . I go to church when invited by friends, l see it as a social gathering same as my Muslim friends who invite to me. But I don't engage or believe in any dogma or rituals such as miracles, prayer and those negative prophecy or revelation... I say work on yourself, improve your character, and focus on self development... It gives me peace of mind and better coping abilities. Keep well. 6 Likes 1 Share |

" Religion is like a pen*is, it's perfectly normal to have one and take pride in it, but when you pull it out and rub it in my face, my dear, we'll have a problem". That's how long I've been seeing religion through many years, but these days I don't even know if I have a pen*s. I just believe there's a higher being ( God, if you may call Him/Her/It that), I don't like pen*ses anymore. 1 Like |

Wilgrea7: Great. Belief is termed as such because it has no shred of objective evidence to back up its claims. Otherwise, we wont have to "believe" we will rather "know" for example, i do not have to believe that men have two hands. I know they do Theism is much closer to atheism than most people think. The theist believes there is a supreme God and it is his/her own version. He believes all other "gods" are false and product of other religions imaginations. He believe in only one out of thousands of gods. The atheist simply believes in none of the thousands. Note that most theistic religions are exclusive. Christians: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Muslims: And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers. So to both religions, the other party is not much better than a atheist, all other faith are going to hellfire. Even some Christians belief other denominations like catholics, JW etc are going to hell There comes a stage where the level of what you know makes it difficult to accept the rationality of what you are meant to believe. 4 Likes |

ModCaller:Unfortunately, you over-simplify existence to a point you jump on unreasonable popular fad! Let me wade you through the logic if you care for the truth 1. Every Event is preceded by a Cause 2. It is logically and scientifically impossible to have an infinite regress of cause and effect The conclusion: There must therefore exist a PRIME MOVER, the SOURCE of EVERYTHING, the UNCAUSED FIRST CAUSE of EVERYTHING. Christians call Him, the Creator, the Alpha and Omega, God, Father. However, for now it doesn't matter what Christians call the SOURCE. The question is: Is their a SOURCE of EVERYTHING who STARTs the now infinite regress of cause and effect? Will you please respond to this!? |

Shikamaru1:I wish you could just separate issues! There is a big difference between 1. Claiming the Creator doesn't exist AND 2. Claiming that the Creator exists but His identity is UNKNOWN (Is He Yahweh, Allah, Tor, Vishnu etc) Where do you stand and then we can talk! Vishnu or Tor didn't promise hellfire, did they? |

TenQ: You're literally confusing yourself. As in literally contradicting everything you're saying. So the person who started everything came out of nothing but the infinite regress of cause and effect didn't come out of nothing? Really bro? It's not actually that hard to put together. 2 Likes |
