cry me a river....

wait oooo, some atheists believe in supernatural? and you still call them Atheists? there is much more confusion in una camp ooo


by the way, atheists have many definitions of atheism, but the whole world knows just one and I wonder why. so, what definition of atheism do you use to consider so called atheists with belief in supernatural as atheists.

atheism - /ˈeɪθɪɪz(ə)m/ noun 1. disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God
or gods.

jobs was never 50/50, he was a Buddhist.

scoff,, remind me of christians who practise yoga ? You need to read up on jobs bro.. My two cents.

KingEbukasBlog:
Sir Tim Berners Lee was never an atheist , he only rejected religion in his youth . Rejecting religion =! atheism . Like I earlier said , deists , pantheists , panentheists , pandeists , religious skeptics , agnostics all reject religion .

He is now a member of the UU - a theologically diverse religion comprising of all kinds of people with or without religious background helping people seek spiritual growth . The UU stands for Unitarian Universalism .

We still have religious people who rule the internet - CEOs of Google , Twitter , Apple , eBay , Reddit , Snapchat , Yahoo mail etc . Plus Mark and Alan were formerly religious people

And a quick reminder , atheists have done so little to the world when compared to what religious people have done .

king of liars..
Steve wozniak(apple) is an atheist...Jobs wwas 50/50...
Yahoo founders are religious?...do you have proof?
A co-owner of reddit(somewhat) is an atheist...
Where's your proof reddit owners are atheists?
Alan dumped religion and the likes at an early age...i think around 16

My friend the unfortunate thing about Christianity is that you can find scriptures to back every thing up.

If you say love should be the motivation for Christianity then what do you have to say about scriptures that talk about hell and eternal torment. The crux of the Christian faith is saving humanity from eternal torment and damnation. Please is such an appeal not an appeal to run from danger and torture and embrace glory.

It is a typical carrot and stick approach. For you what is important now is your desire for god. But ask yourself what happens when that desire falters, when your desire to praise and worship reduces, when the troubles of life come?
You won't cease being a Christian because there is another motivation that should keep you in line which is avoiding the wrath of god. That motivation is fear, it kept the ancient Jews in Yahweh worship, kept the medieval Catholics in obedience to the Vatican, it keeps children in Islam, in Mormonism, in Christianity etc. That is the longest lasting and most reliable tool to keep people in religion.

Tell me the truth, how many people do you know that have such a desire to go to heaven?

In reality, many are not so freaked out by living and praising god forever, many don't want to live for more than a 1000 years, many find heaven to be a bit boring but there are surely some who want to be there and who want to know god. If churchgoing can serve as an indicator of how well people desire heaven then it goes to show that most people ain't enthusiastic about church services, many are not enthusiastic about gospel music that's why secular artists are the best selling. This shows that people are not really desiring the so called presence of god which also shows that many are not really desiring eternal fellowship in a heaven with god. But you might be the type that desires it.

But please tell me, do you know any human being that doesn't have a slight fear of hell or even fire. All mammals fear fire. The fear of hell is the strongest motivator and the most effective. It goes to show that many church goers are only there because they feel its the right thing to do to avoid the eternal wrath of god. If there was no doctrine of hell, you would see more freethinkers because people won't be scared to scrutinize Christianity.

This is what the medieval Catholics discovered that made them decide to twist and contort the new testament to create a fearful, terrible, horrendous doctrine of eternal damnation. That ploy elongated the lifespan of Christianity and also the length of the Catholic dominance of Europe. This psychological ploys work in every religion and Christianity isn't exempt.

the bolded!
Virtually every sect can back up their belief...

can you stop dodging?

you guys will just come out as atheists, when hit you guys so hard in arguments you resort to becoming agnostic. COWARDS!!

Everyone knows that the core of atheism is NATURALISM, where everything is believed to have come through natural processes. so, what's your Point?

must you always be insane?
Does saying ''i dont know'' make him less of a naturalist?

some atheists do believe in the supernatural.

@joycontramundum

Don't mind the selfish delusional christard.
Do they even think of the effect of their stupid faith, they expect all their ancestors, relatives, friends and even Muslim friends to burn forever in agony. It doesn't even move them one inch.

The minds that created the Christian god were wicked depraved , primitive minds. And that's why their creation still propagates in the minds of their believers. Christians are usually hypocritical, selfish, delusional etc.
Something built on a wrong foundation can never produce the right results.

christianity is a synonym for hypocrisy..

Very poor comparison. you don't compare things of the spirit with earthly.
Muritala Muhammed died a Nigerian no spiritual attachment.
Christ was sent by God who by Himself in Jeremiah 32:27 calls Himself "God of all flesh"
So the death of Christ is for all flesh. All humans.

tokisophie:
I am encourage by your words; the reason is that

2 Tim 3:12-17
12 Yes, and those who decide to please Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those who hate him.

13 In fact, evil men and false teachers will become worse and worse, deceiving many, they themselves having been deceived by Satan.

14 But you must keep on believing the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know that you can trust those of us who have taught you.

15 You know how, when you were a small child, you were taught the holy Scriptures; and it is these that make you wise to accept God's salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.

16 The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right.

17 It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.

How did he die for me?

cupidFlint:
You're an atheist we know, you don't have to ironically mak it so obvious

i am not an atheist.

naijadeyhia:
Its a guide.

is this a yes?

The mind if evil picks up on only the terrible aspect which is why we have morals to checkmate our thoughts.

If a book teaches you how to hack a computer some would just read it and ignore while others would want to test it out. Therein lies the difference.

the mind or the book?

naijadeyhia:
if the book did not tell you what the gun is capable of would you even be knowledgeable enough to try it out physically?

is the book a terroristic item?

naijadeyhia:
So how are the actual terrorists taught? What is their foundation?

comon bro'
if i go by your hypothesis..
Then christianity,islam etc are all terrorists..
For your bible to say that jehovah is the only and true God etc is an ''act of terrorism'' against the muslims...etc
it doesnt add up..
You can be taught that Guns kill people on paper..
But if you carry out that action to test the potency of the Gun...does it mean the book is a terroristic item?

naijadeyhia:
Why should an atheist be fighting for freedom of worship when worship is rendered to powers and gods which the same atheist does not believe in? Something is fishy and I smelt it..simple!

He is being Mischievous.

no..you cant equate ''pen/verbal terrorism'' to ''actual acts of terrorism''..
