Do You Think Atheists Are Insecure ….

[naomi24]

… and if so, why?

This has been said twice today. Could someone please explain the reasoning behind that claim?

[Khandro]

//They haven't a clue which one of them is correct and so logically none of them are.//
Regardless of the OP, that is an illogical statement.

[ludwig]

I think what he means is, if you've got four major religions, a minimum of three have got to be wrong.

[Henrietta]

Well it's all yin and yang, black the opposite of white and the atheists defending their "Non religion" as religious people are defending their "God" as they're polar opposites according to one or maybe more of the major religions so would be drawn into a battle until the end of time until one of them "wins the battle between good and evil" or have i got this wrong?

[ludwig]

// have i got this wrong? //

I'm not sure. I couldn't understand what you said.

[baza]

Yes I do, they always want to argue about something they do not believe in.

[naomi24]

baza, you declare that you think atheists are insecure, but like the rest, you have failed to explain your reasoning.

[modeller]

khandro I guessed you would fall for that one ! Pedantry being your forte when you have no answer.
There are over 4000 listed religions and tens of thousands of cults and religious sects. All believing they are right. So logically ( I didn't say mathematically ) none of them are .

[idiosyncrasy]

Considering that we were all given free will, then it is each to his own.

Personally I don't care what people believe in, that is their choice and they made it. I made my choice and I am happy with what I believe in.

Whether I live or die, no one will be able to seperate me from God. No arguments against the existence of God will convince me otherwise. I have a mind of my own and I use it.

[Khandro]

modeller; All you are saying in a convoluted manner, is that in your opinion, all religions are wrong. Where is the 'logic' in this?

[kvalidir]

No of course they aren't. I know quite a few and they are among the most calm, reasoned, secure , stable people you could meet. I'm sure there much be some individuals who aren't secure but it will be a cross section like in any religion ( or lack of it).

[modeller]

khandro Are you using Western or your Buddhist definition of 'logic' ?

[naomi24]

Modeller, I don't think that is logical at all. Every religion might be wrong - but only one might be right.

[Khandro]

modeller; If you can define what you mean by 'Buddhist logic'(?) I'll give you an answer.

[modeller]

khandro So you don't know !

[scooping]

May the blessings of The Lord be upon you all, now and forever more, Amen.

[Khandro]

modeller; //So you don't know !// Yes I do, but I asked you to define it in your own words, (cut and pasting unacceptable)

[modeller]

Khandro Will The Buddha be pleased with your response ?
