Nothing infuriates the atheists more than God. In fact the vast majority of atheists hated and blamed God for the tragic events in the their life when they were theists. I've even heard atheists confess this. This most likely lead to their conversion to atheism, which is unfortunate since their disbelief is primarily based on emotion rather than reason. Which makes it impossible to have a rational discussion with atheists regarding the very issues that made them hate God (eg. problem of evil, morality, etc.). Atheists have in fact subconscious, accepted the two tenets of atheism: Several studies have even supported the fact that atheists implicitly believe in God, for instance, in a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers found that anger towards God was common amongst religious individuals during their lifetime. In addition the team also found that anger towards God was even more common among those unaffiliated with religion, those who identify as atheists and agnostics. The study was conducted by a team of researchers lead by Julie Exline, a psychologist at Case Western Reserve University. Exline provides the following comments regarding the study: "We are particularly interested in the issue of whether anger toward God might lead to decreased belief in God’s existence. Our interest was piqued by an early study of anger toward God among undergraduates (Exline et al., 1999), which revealed a counterintuitive finding: Those who reported no belief in God reported more grudges toward God than believers. At first glance, this finding seemed to reflect an error. How could people be angry with God if they did not believe in God? Reanalyses of a second dataset (Exline, Fisher, Rose, & Kampani, 2004; Kampani & Exline, 2002) revealed similar patterns: Those who endorsed their religious beliefs as “atheist/agnostic” or “none/unsure” reported more anger toward God than those who reported a religious affiliation" Note, the results corroborates with previous studies and with the results of a second dataset. Exline and her team also found that atheists who abandon their belief in God due to their animosity toward God were less likely to return to the faith they left. "Further analyses identified a group of conflicted believers (or slipping believers), all of whom had previously believed that God exists (or might exist) but no longer believed at the time of the study. When compared with believers, these individuals reported more anger toward God. These findings raised the question of whether anger might actually affect belief in God’s existence, an idea in line with Novotni and Petersen’s (2001) clinical descriptions of emotional atheism" This so called "emotional atheism" is something I have personally witness when a friend of mine renounced God because of a tragic event in his life. He would later abandon atheism, when I asked him why, he said "I was never really an atheist, even though I proclaimed atheism, my reasons were entirely emotional, not rational. I think subconscious I still believed in God, although my emotions prevented me from admitting it, looking back at it now I realize atheism never made sense to me logically speaking, it only made sense emotionally." https://wp.production.patheos.com/blogs/barrierbreaker/files/2015/05/Crying.jpg While another study undertook by team of researchers from the University of Finland, found that atheists become "emotionally aroused" when they dared God to do horrible things, like for example daring God to strike them down. Perhaps suggesting that they subconsciously believe in God. In this study, atheists and religious participants were both hooked up to skin conductance machines, which was use to determine the level of stress each participant experience when daring God. The team reported the following: "In the first study, reading the provocations addressed to God increased atheists’ emotional arousal more than reading neutral statements about such things as sleep and weather. Second, God statements resulted in equal tension among atheists as reading the offensive statements (e.g.,“It’s okay to kick a puppy in the face”). Third, this same pattern of results was obtained for religious individuals. The results indicate that compared to their conviction and responses on the self-report measure, atheists’ implicit reactions to the God statements were more similar to the reactions of religious individuals." They later go on to say: "When reading the God statements in Study 2, atheists experienced greater emotional arousal than when reading the offensive statements. Moreover, when reading the God statements, atheists’ emotional arousal in creased as much as did religious individuals’ arousal. Atheists also refused to say aloud the God statements, and they felt the need to undo the statements equally often as religious individuals did, although neither group refused to say statements very often or retracted statements very often." Again suggesting atheists implicitly believe in God. It is interesting to note that studies have also found that religious people are more happier than the non-religious. This is basically why It's isn't particularly difficult to find unhappy,angry atheists online, even here on nairaland. https://www1.cbn.com/sites/default/files/styles/original/public/millennial-there-is-no-god-sign_SI.jpg?itok=4Wph4QIg In fact just recently an infuriated atheist viciously attacked me with insults,even though he misread the post he was responding to. I think this represents a clear example of how hatred can cloud our judgment and reasoning, had my accuser controlled his anger and emotion he would have not misread my post and responded with such profanity. I'm am sure, had these unbelievers been able to get their hands on me, they would take out their anger on me by physically harming me. Fortunately enough I am far away from them, leaving them with only two options - attack with abusive words or mock in groups. In other words, cyber bully me into silence. This is all done to prevent me or anyone else from criticizing atheism. Atheists will even attempt to get hold of your personal information so that can use it, and you guess it - to mock and abuse you. Don't take my words lightly, atheists do really hate you and have no respect for because you not an atheist. If you were murdered tomorrow, atheists would happily use pictures of your deceased body when mocking those who mourn your death if they had the opportunity to do so. If you died in the tragic Anambra church massacre, your death would have been used as an opportunity to mock religion.Graphic images of your body will be nothing but playing cards to atheists, who will used them to mock theists. Right now in North Korea, where hatred of God is pervasive, everyday many religious individuals are harassed, mocked and violently subjugated by atheists simply because they not atheists. In this atheist state, religion is despised and hated similar to how religion was view by the former Soviet Union. https://images.slideplayer.com/14/4487994/slides/slide_10.jpg Therefore Christians when you travel, always try to avoid entering atheist/islamic states, but if you must be extremely cautious, hatred of you and your beliefs is rampant as the Lord said it would be, and your life is in danger. But fear not believers, we have the truth on our side. Even if every country becomes an atheist/islamic state one day, and we are persecuted (and we will be), always remember we have the truth on our side. Shalom |

segunojo866:Since you can't or wouldn't watch the movie let me post how a little girl put her teacher in her place. ![]() A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands shoot into the air. There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not an atheist." "So," asks the teacher, "what are you?" "A Christian" The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she thinks she is a Christian. "Well, I was brought up knowing and loving Jesus. My mum is a Christian and, my dad is a Christian, I also accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour and I know I'm a Christian." The teacher is visibly angry now. "That's no reason," she says loudly, "What if your mum had been a mo-ron and, your dad had been a mo-ron. What would that make you then?" After a pause, and a smile. "Then," says Lucy, "that would make me an atheist." -- J. John and Mark Stibbe |

rekinomtla:That may well be the case, but a rational person cannot hate and blame a God they claim does not exist for the tragic events in their life. At best, such a person is illogical. I have met a lot of religious people, Christians and Muslims, who go to a babalawo. While they may claim they are Muslims or Christians, some Christians and Muslims would claim they are not quite so, at the very least. |

budaatum:Which is why I find many claimed atheists irrational. Those that viciously insult and mock theists. budaatum:Many people that claim to be christian/muslim are not. Just like many claimed to be "atheists" but are really misotheists or agnostics. |

rekinomtla:It's hard for a discussion between atheists and believers not to fall into the gutter. Both sides hold strong positions, and are not always intelligent enough to consider the others position without resorting to insults. I tell you, its damn hard to turn the other cheek. There are some out there though. rekinomtla:Thanks for this. God is with you. |

OLAADEGBU:Wow. Olaadegbu your post gave me goose bumps and made the hairs on the back of my neck raise. I am sure that you and the Master-Mind group can make time to effectively summarize the shocking hidden truths you guys have found on atheists. Master-Mind group in no particular order: Cc Sonofthunder, Winner01, Butterflyleo, Vaxx, Rekinomtla, ANAS09, Olaadegbu, Bloodofthelamb, Ishilove, Donnie, ........ etc. Now if the parents of atheist SWINE are M0rons and a rotten Apple never falls far from its tree. Then can one conclude that in ATHEISM an ape never falls far from it's fish ? Please help. Lol. |
