Atheists!

[mrveggieman]

which man-made god do you worship? jishnu, yahweh, alah...? just curious.

Are you saying that worshiping anything is silly or are you saying that if you don't follow a particular religion you are being silly?

well, i'm an atheist and don't worship anything. i'm not saying there is anything wrong with theism. i just think it's a little silly to worship something that was created and actually named by a human(s). that's all.

edit: ps. i was just being a jerk with that post you quoted

JerS86, I worship no God created by man, but rather the God that created man, and I am unsure if I would use the word worship, more like respect, appreciation, and love.

which is fine if you don't, and if you don't I don;t think you are silly, just different than I am.

Like I said eairlier I am not an atheist but I can understand why someone would be. I apologize but I thought that since you didnt mention a particular god i thought that you were saying that all other gods are false except for yours. One the cool one thing that i do like about atheists is that they are consistent about their beliefs.

science makes way too much sense for me to believe in a god. i feel like the bible, quran, torah, etc were all written in the days before there was technology to explain things with science. if religion helps you be the person you want to be i can respect that choice but it's not for me.

God and religion have very little to do with each other. Religion is man's way of explaining something (God) that man can't. Maybe one day science will be able to explain God, and I do mean explain. Not disprove, not credit to some occurance in the universe, explain.

So, just a mere 4 years ago I was a strong believer in Yahweh, Jesus, and the Bible......I was a Theist.

Slowly but surely, my belief and faith in the Christian god disappeared and i had a new name.....Atheist!


At first I really disliked this term, after all here in the U.S, Atheists are the MOST HATED, most distrusted group.

I went from being in the loving majority to the most hated minority.


But, I wanted to play a little game with everyone:

Which of the following Gods do you guys believe in?

A) Allah
B) Krishna
C) Thor
D) Zeus
E) Horus

If you answered "None of the Above"......what would that make you? (An atheist?)

OK, OK.....I cheated, I left out hundreds of gods and demi-gods too......but, let me get this straight, you can be a Theist if you believe in ONE god and NOT believe in every single other god, but the second you stop believing in that ONE god you turn into something completely different and are hated/distrusted by your fellow countrymen.

Hmm...

I feel very sorry for you. atheism is the biggest lie of the Great Liar, his name is Lucifer. Lucifer was the greatest of all the angels, which were created to serve God. He was the most beautiful, and was the leader of praise and worship of ABBA Father.

The first sin was pride. Lucifer's pride was that he was greater than God, rebelled, took 1/3 of the angels with him(Reptillians/UFO's/aliens) and was cast down to the Earth, and given rule over it.

You have fallen for Lucifer's great lie. We are NOT to look to other Christians as our examples, or even examples of Christians. Jesus was God taking on the flesh of man, so that He would be OUR EXAMPLE. We are to look to Jesus as our example, not the catholic church, not the Baptist Church, not the Methodist Church, not any church. We are not to look to preachers as our example, we are not to look to priests as our example.

Lucifer corrupts all. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. The Hebrews had to sacrifice an unblemished lamb, and other things, to make payment for their sins. Jesus was the Lamb of God, making complete and final payment for the sins of those who would believe that He is The Son of God, that He died on the Cross, was Risen on the Third Day, and sits on His Heavenly Throne, acting as your lawyer before God if you believe in Him.


Jehova cannot be in the presence of sin. This is why Lucifer was cast out of Heaven, and this is why God gave Moses the Law. But the law was corrupted by man, and therefore, God sent His Son as The Sacrifice, so that all who believed in Him would be cleansed of sin. You have to make this choice in this life, so that you can be with God in the afterlife. If your sins are not cleansed by the Blood of Jesus, you will be eternally separated from God. Hell is that eternal separation. God does not intend for you to go there, but he cannot make that decision for you. Only you can make it.

Science is man's explanation of the things God created. evolution is a theory, not law. Gravity is a law, explaining the force that holds the universe together. The Big Bang, as Science calls it, is how God created the universe. It is against Scientific law that SOMETHING could be created out of NOTHING. Only ABBA Father can do this. Science is only man trying to figure it out.

Are you going to honestly tell me that we are just here because of randomness? How is this Earth so perfect that it heals itself? How is our body so perfect that it heals itself? What are the probabilites that this Earth would be the perfect environment for us? God gave us the stars for the view. He gave us everything for our enjoyment.

We only get sick and die because of sin. Scientists have found that our bodies were designed to last forever, and can't figure out why we age and die. I can tell you why, because sin seperated us from God, and therefore, our body must perish. But if you have faith in Jesus Christ, you will receive a new body when he changes this world. The Earth will never be destroyed, it will only be changed, like in the days of Noah. Jesus will remove sin when he defeats the Anti-Christ and his prophet, and binds Satan/Lucifer in the abyss for 1,000 years. After that, satan will be defeated, and we will live with Christ forever and ever.

I don't want to be righteous. It is man's nature to sin. Trust me, I would love to enjoy the things of the flesh. However, that is not what God wants. You can be saved and still sin(though intentional sin is not a sign of a saved person), but sin seperates you from the relationship with ABBA Father. Sin is a fog that will seperate you from walking in the Spirit. And every saved person will have to deal with sin until he/she leaves this Earth. Jesus showed that hate for your fellow man is commiting murder in your heart. That is sin. Jesus showed us that looking upon a woman with lust is sin, you have commited lust/adultry in your heart. These are the whisperings of Lucifer, and will continue until he is destroyed.

Read Genesis again. It is a perfect explanation for how our world was created. Yes, they couldn't explain in detail with the technology we have today, but Science only shows us HOW God did what he did.
