Christians create the annoying atheists that they hate so much.

You said he 5 times in this post alone. I even bolded that shyt for your bytch ass, yo reading ability is severely lacking

I already said I am referring to him in the sex he is usually referred to in the English language*. And yet, it is my reading ability that's lacking? Ignore.

You said religion has always impeded science I was just letting you know that aint the case

It does if you don't take the religion seriously.

Thats the point.

Cause if you accept that theistic assertions are true, then youre not in a place to question things.

And then when you say you don't believe in God, people want to ask if you have a better alternative belief.

What the fukk?

Nikka, I could believe in quantum immortality, reincarnation, or that I can fly. All of which are preferable beliefs to the God of the Bible. But that doesn't change a goddamn thing about reality. This shyt ain't no goddamn all-you-can-eat buffet where you can pick and choose what aspects of reality to accept. Belief SHOULDN'T work like that. You should accept reality, regardless of whether it's better than your fantasy or not. And if you don't know something, don't pretend like you do and then act like your pretense is better than acknowledging your agnosticism.

Anybody who is knowledgeable, honest, and intelligent to a noteworthy degree, particularly when it comes to religion, is an agnostic atheist.

Type of fukking "I know you are, but what am I" childish response is this?

Let me explain to you why a lot of religious people fit the description.

Anti-ridicule: Any time someone makes a claim about something as silly as a personal deity or magic, it's subject to scrutiny and is oftentimes found to be completely baseless and illogical. To counteract that, many religious people accept that ridicule is a given for their "righteous" stance and so they accuse the ridiculers as being blinded, misled, influenced by the Devil etc. This in turn feeds into their

Persecution complex: All of this can be found in the Bible and other "holy" books. The martyrs and prophets who were persecuted for serving their god are hailed as heroes. So when a person ridicules a believer for their nonsense, this feeds into that persecution complex and they feel validated in their erroneous beliefs

Smug superiority: When a person feels like they have a personal relationship with God, they look down on, and sometimes even feel pity for, those they feel don't. The overconfidence and condescension is staggering. Instead of speaking logically, they act as if they have all the answers and that those who see it for what it really is "lack faith" or "need to grow spiritually"

Arrogant overcompensating: The idea that a deity exists and cares about you personally, or the idea that you have the correct interpretation of God out of all the thousands of interpretations, is arrogant. Many overcompensate by plunging even deeper into their delusions when facing doubt. They strive to be even more faithful and devout instead of seeing if their doubts have any merit. If they were really as correct in their beliefs as they think they are, they would not need to be afraid of doubt or scrutiny

And you don't give a damn about the truth because, if you did, there's no reason for you to believe in God

Lord knows I could waste time rewriting the same shyt you did and apply it to atheists.

I don't think we understand each other.

It seems to me that your saying that these flaws are exclusive to Christians, I'm pointing out that these flaws describe the modern atheist more then it describes the modern Christian.
I'm talking about the tumblr-reddit atheist
The one who has done no searching of their own and simply regurgitate the beliefs of those 'smarter' then them (Neil deGrasse Tyson, dikk Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens.) Ironically acting like the Christians who are 'sheep'.
The one who takes shyt like zeitgeist to heart
The ones like @Napoleon
The Modern Atheist.

"And you don't give a damn about the truth because, if you did, there's no reason for you to believe in God"

Careful there your starting to sound like a Christian.

You act like most people have this rockhard, steeadfast faith and that they never doubt.
If you see a Christian ever say that know that they are lying.

We both searched for the truth. Does God exist?
We simply came to different conclusions.

Your opinion is in direct conflict with philosophy 101.

You probably hate priests for being two faced and forcing people to believe in one thing or another, but aren't you doing the same thing - telling them us what belief SHOULD and SHOULDN'T work like? You're right, you can believe in anything you want, and currently you choose to BELIEVE in science, because it SEEMS to explain everything to you... But science is LIMITED, just like RELIGION, so from where I'm standing, there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EITHER. People who don't get this don't understand science very well, because anyone who has studied it deeply UNDERSTANDS THIS.

Now, do I believe in any testament, organized religion or "representative of god"? HELL NO. However, I think there's lots of value in religious texts and spiritual traditions. I believe that everyone should have the right to choose their beliefs, and not get anything forced upon them - not by priests, not by parents, and definitely not by so-called "atheists", who deny something that doesn't exist ( if it doesn't exist, why bother denying it? I don't believe in the biblical god and yet I don't argue against him for this reason)

I don't get upset about people believing in unicorns, and I don't get upset about people believing in god. Same difference to me. My cousin is ultra religious, but our world views are practically identical, except that he believes in organized religion and I don't. He calls it God, I call it the laws of science and nature, but ultimately it is one and the same thing. Only, in organized religion it is expressed through the psyche of man (or rather, men).

I'll write more specifically about science evidence for you later. On my way home.

If you could simply answer the questions that would be much more helpful

shyt, if it weren't for parents indoctrinating their children into their religion generation after generation that shyt would've died off a long time ago.

You're probably right. At any rate, I'm opposed to ANY indoctrination, whether religious or atheist. A lot of the anti-religious people in this thread are religiously zealous in their denial of God. They talk like I imagine crusaders did in the middle ages. "This is the only one truth, you're wrong, prove your opinion is right, if you can't I must be right", etc etc etc... Just hateful horseshyt, people who think like that need help. Just live and let live, at the end of the day you can't understand another person's beliefs or god/being/nature, why bother? Just enjoy life man.

 

[tmonster]

It's impossible to know anything for sure. I believe, just like everyone else in this thread and the world. I don't claim to know.

this was the statement I was responding to:

"God" is everything that is. As per Einstein, Baruch Spinoza, Carl Sagan. Does that explain it better?

It sounds pretty confident and self-assured
but ok, I will accept that you meant to say, "I believe that God is everything that is"
the next thing is why is that belief any better than someone believing that there is a flying banana in orbit at the edge of space and he controls and created the universe?

and lastly, I would really appreciate it you if could answer the other question
