Do you feel threatened or uneasy about the atheist population

[Elderman]

I would appreciate all answers I receive; this is for your school project.

[missnemesis]

I'm doing a school project?

Jeezo I think I might have missed when it was supposed to be handed in.....by about 23 years!

Ma Bad!

Surely irrational threats only emanate from religious populations, who routinely use that religion to suggest that their threatening behaviour is part of some divine guidance.

Atheist populations tend to be more peace loving, and non threatening.

The only threat from the atheist population is the threat that they will not allow the religious population to be threatening any more.

Elderman, "this is for your school project"?

Brenda, old chap, do try to get a grip! If you carry on like this, you'll have people thinking there's something a little strange about you.

Being an Angel I don't fear the reaper but some cult followers are scarier than atheists.

[Truthabounds]

No. Why should I?
I have a strong belief in my God. They have nothing.
When calamity comes - who can they call on? No one because they believe there is nothing there. W
hat hope do they have beyond this life? Nothing.
Whereas I have hope that whatever happens to me, I can look forward to life everlasting on an earth where there will be no more atheists.
Hurrah!!

[douglas9401]

NOt at all. They're too busy just getting by to be nailing folks to crosses or burning them at the stake.

Blessed with Christian kindness. How sweet!

[jackthehat]

No.

[rojash]

I can look forward to peace in death where there will be no more religious nuts. Hurrah!

I just love it when they answer themselves on the same thread under their other user name- and 'Hurrah', with too many exclaimation marks-priceless.
You'd think if they're their God's master race of the spiritually blessed that he'd at least equip them with being able to use language properly.

I dont believe in Christ quite simply because it was told and retold by the only people who could read and write ,oh ,they were the church . So it seems a bit one-sided
When I was a child most of my friends were religious believers ,catholics, very devout ,then I found out the priest only gave the sermon in Latin and they didn't understand but they lived in fear of the priest and his punishments
Then when I grew older and questioned the water to wine and separating of the red sea I was told that this wasn't really true just used to illustrate so how would I know which is or isn't true
Just my opinion

[Old_Geezer]

Only a little uneasy about the fanatics who refuse to accept speculation on anything other than this material universe, and want to mock and stifle debate/discussion from those more able to contemplate such things. But that said I don't think they have much influence anyway.

And fanaticism is not confined to atheism. You get religious folk with a fanatical zeal for converting others too. They even come to this site on occasion.

Truthabounds, Elderman and chums.. To follow your reasoning(?) atheists must have been 'put upon earth' by your god presumably as a 'test' of your faith. So, don't be so bloody ungrateful to your god and thank him every day for the opportunity to show tolerance, understanding and christian charity towards those poor souls who are not as blessed(probably thrice) as yourselves. A little less hypocrisy and a little more humility from you would not be a bad thing.

[Elderman]

It is only those who do not consider God’s Word who are injured by lying, and representatives of Satan. One of God’s servants is mentioned in 1 Kings 13. He received God’s Word but chose instead to follow a false prophet, to follow a lie. The lie worked injury to him and brought about his death. (1 Ki. 13:18, 24) This shows that God’s servants should be satisfied with his Word, not go listening to lying atheist , because lies work injury and lead to death.

We're all gonna die mate, some sooner than others unless they take more water with it.

[jomifl]

Exactly Elderman.. but who is doing the lying..Where in the bible does it say that atheists lie? How do you know that you are not lying yourself. How can you prove anything you say?

[anneasquith]

i do find them a tad scary ! :)

[espookid]

I think that Elderman is missing something in his life that makes him try to prove others wrong
Does he not understand we are happy in our non- believing and please just leave us alone with our thoughts

[naomi24]

Jom, he's certainly lying to himself.

Anne, //i do find them a tad scary ! :) //

Why?
