?!?!? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
That's the whole point--not believing in God. It's like how Buddhists don't believe in Jesus. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
because they are dum dums! :D |

I'm asking why... what are your reasons... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dissect the word "atheist" itself: a-: away from -the-: God -ist: person |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blah, I think you guys are missing the point of this... I know atheist don't believe in God, but I want to know the reasons why the atheists on this board don't believe... why not? |

As I said before: Religion leads to war in one way or another. I'd rather see all those talibans alive without a religion than walking arround and burst into flames without a warning taking many people with them. -It's like fuckin Lemmings or something!! |
||||||||

i dont have a religious background probably one of the reasons why i dont feel the need to be religious |
||||||||

God is Santa for grownups. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but you can believe, and be associate with God, or a god, and still be against religion... personally I think God, and religion are two different things... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's why you don't believe? |

I used to be really lonely. I believe in God now that I know Lindsey. I pray for things and find things turn out shockingly well. :) I got Lindsey to go out with me and we've been going out for almsot a year. I saw Radiohead and they did Like Spinning Plates (I prayed for that song) for the first time at the show I went to! And Lindsey and I got front row tickets at the Tori concert :D |

My families catholic and i was raised and a confirmed catholic. Although in reality i don't really believe in god. I like to beleive in what i like. Big fan of philosophy class, questio everything, there are no rules, only theories. Also when I went to the church last 3 yrs ago, it seemed really odd and cultish which turned me off totally. So I guess im Athiest... |
||||||||

|

no offense to any catholic here, but I really dislike the catholic church... I don't see any good coming from it... just my opinion, and I have no ill will towards any catholic people, just the church, the pope, and all that... |

i dont appreciate being made to feel like theres something wrong with me, just because im not religious. im not judgemental myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nor i do appreciate intra-religious bashings |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
dont buddhists and muslims recognize jesus as some sort of prophet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a philosophical question really, some people look for an answer to things like creation and all and think "something" had to have made this or something etc. but not everyone thinks that or they think its an absurd belief or that all the negative things in this world prove their no god etc it just depends on a persons ideals and beliefs.. if u read up on it theres like endless amount of stuff for and against the existence of God, its just up to the person |

why i'm an atheist: i feel that establishing a god is depicting ourselves seeking a government headed by a faceless leader, in a way. it is like we are all children of a faceless parent. a god lacks definition, in my case. some take radical measures to prove a god's existence, as we have observed through the media about militant individuals' behaviors. gods are often used to justify such behaviors. again, i'm an atheist because i don't know the definition of God. if you are a theist, than i'm not trying to withhold your beliefs. i'm just describing my scope. |

cant be objective about the spiritual, its a personal thing nor do i feel its neccessary to be religious in order to explore spirtuality, or vice versa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
b0nk--yes, some do. :) Im not an atheist, but I do know that a lot of people who dont beleive in god, or a goddess, or any higher being simply dont. It doesnt feel right for them, and faith is based on feeling. There is no right or wrong religion, but lets not get into that. :) Atheists dont beelive in a higher power; that is just what they have come to beelive--whether it is through life experiences or just a natural feeling. Also, some ahteists beleive that man is his own god. Man decides of himself what is right and what is wrong, not a higher being. :) |

I'm not so religious. I'm not one who'd go to church for anything other than weddings or money give aways :) |
||||||||

|

|

and also spaghetti dinners :) |

atheists don't believe in god for exactly the same resoning that theists believe in god. i hope that answers your question. if it doesn't then stop asking and start to understand why YOU believe in god, then you have the answer :) |

charming, Luke. ;) |

well, if you put it that way... than I'm against gods. Hmm... sounds pretty silly doesn't it? Exspecially when I'm asigned into an ancient cult. I dont know the english name for it but a few of the gods are: Óðin (Odin), Týr (Tyr) and Þór (Thor) (none of the members actually believe in any of those gods. They're just trying to keep old habits from being forgotten). Most of the members are ameteur philosophists. Many interesting conversations going on. :) |

I have my personal reasons for not believing in god. This isnt christian chat last time I checked so you dont get bonus points here for converting people, please dont force your beliefs on others funk. Is it really that hard for you to think of reasons people dont believe in god on your own? Because it shouldnt be that hard. |
||||||||
|
|

Im just not christian or catholic or jewish. |

Hey are you going to the march Mickey? |

LOOOOOOL!!!! your avatar, man! It's hillarious!!! :) :) :) |
||||||||
|
|

|

hes asking not telling 'personally I think God, and religion are two different things...' sounds like i even agree with the funkmaster on this, as i put it in my own words 'nor do i feel its neccessary to be religious in order to explore spirtuality, or vice versa' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ummm, ok then... I'm not trying to convert anyone... fucking believe what you want... this was meant as just an innocent thread for a discussion, nothing more... again, I don't fucking care what anyone here believes... I was just curious... no reason to get defensive... if you ask me why I believe in God, I'll tell you... I wouldn't take it as you trying to convert me to atheism... goodness, get a life! |
||||||||

I don't think he's trying to turn any of us. And even if he is, he most likely couldn't. I mean, this is but a message board but our believes and disbelieves are our deepest fealings that most of us have carried with us for most of our lives. -I seriously doubt that anyone will be able to "change" us through a messageboad, right? :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
thanks :D everyone else: I think itd be a good time to put this topic to rest. Not my favorite subject. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just find it funny... well, annoying really, how the atheists of this board will poke fun at God, and Christianity any time they can... and if I just ask you why you don't believe in God, you all, well some of you, get defensive... goodness this message board has annoyed me a lot recently... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word funkmaster. even tho im not religious, ill stick up for those who want to talk about their faith rather than those who want to push you down for doing just that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Many people considder religion so much taboo. I don't understand why. it's among the few things that are supposed to make us comfortable and keep us togeather... But then again, so is sex. :/ -Why do you believe in god? (in a non-offensive tone) :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in real life, i find myself on a fence of sorts. the fence isnt in my point of view, its situational. what i mean is, i have deeply religious friends, but they dont often bring their faith up with me because im not the same way inclined. however i do hold spirituality as being a very important thing, and that puts me apart from the pessimists that i meet. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I am not athiest so i cannot answer the topic question. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Why do you believe in god? (in a non-offensive tone)" well, I just believe that there has to be some higher power... I also think that it makes a lot more sense to believe in a God, then to believe in some of the scientific theories that are out there... I also just have faith... I feel that I have experience God numerous times, and so I believe that God exists on a personal level! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, but I meant, why God... Why not Allah, or Shiva or Odin, or or or.... ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is god!!! This is an abstract idea. Your opinion of his existence is relative. I think hes a dirty sock thats hudled in the corner. What does your god look like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You dont think hes a sock in my room. Your an atheiest in your own logic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are your own god it seems. :) |
||||||||
|

Whoa, calm down funk, Agian I ask, Is it really that hard for you to think of reasons people dont believe in god on your own? "I just find it funny... well, annoying really, how the atheists of this board will poke fun at God, and Christianity any time they can... and if I just ask you why you don't believe in God, you all, well some of you, get defensive... goodness this message board has annoyed me a lot recently..." If it annoy's you on here, then leave. I am not getting defensive, I am telling you off. There is a difference, I dont like you, might as well say it flat out right here and now while I got your attention, and no, I dont like you just because you asked this simple question. No need to get that sand in your vagina d00d, hanging out at christian chat too much? What march are you talking about Dolleater? w00t! |

bryce_berny from Townsville (Canada) on 2003-01-09 19:01 [#00508548] Points: 173 Status: Regular because they are dum dums! :D Um... your calling aeitheist dumb because they dont belive in something that has no proof of existance, and which doesnt even have a the slightest bit of fact supporting its existance? am i right so far? and then, that also means that they are stupid for not spending their sunday mornings praying to the sky, right? Perhaps you could clear this up for me, as my knowledge is obviously pathetic in comparison to your insight. Thank you for reminding me that I, am an idiot. |
