Plus the ones I know just think the religions of today are stupid and that's it. They don't need to go any deeper because they believe in science (facts)

Dare I ask... ? Why, Mom333, are You even bothering to take-up any discussion on the General Religion Chat Form if we are to assume You're so adamantly Atheist ? Don't You 'prefer' to have a logical reason to believe in a Divine Being ? Why would You waste-your-time with this Forum ?

They don't need to go any deeper because they believe in science (facts) science is continually evolving ealry science stated 'facts' that the earth was flat, based on the evidence they had at that time, new evidence is continually being discoverered, and books revised, wasn't that long ago that the 'cell' was considered the smallest building block, but as our technology advanced we were able to look deeper and realize that the cell is much more complex than we first thought, but still that didnt stop early science from saying that the cell was the smallest and that was a fact, it was simply a fact based in the evidence they currently had. I like science, as a Christian I wish more people would study science because the more we understand about our earth, the more knowledge we can gain about its creator, I know people like to think that science is an anti-thesis to religion, but I believe just the opposite, you get to know an artist by studying their paintings, if the earth is indeed God's creation then the more we study it, the more we will get to know it's creator

Well said Isaac... ! Science's advancements are relative to what's current.

Mom333, all I'm saying is I don't really know of any Atheists who are actually content to be so. Most would-be Atheists want something else ! Case-In-Point... You're requesting a collection of writings that take some of all of various religions.

You're requesting a collection of writings that take some of all of various religions. i wouldn't say it's wasting my time because I like being on the forums. But when I post a topic I like to see what people think about the subject. I think trying to justify your existance by saying there is some god floating around is hilarious, but at the end of the day the question I asked was has someone ever.... I got the answer to that question a while ago now but I'm still here talking to you about other religious stuff. All I'm going to say then I will e nd my contributions is...If you believe I a book written donkeys years ago with no actual proof then you might as well believe in fairies because there is stuff written about them too. If you want to carry on this endless discussion then you can reply to me.

Okay, are You (Mom333) happy to believe there is no God ? Are You (Mom333) content to be a Random Event that is somehow self-aware ? And-last-but-not-least... Are You looking forward to an state of oblivion when Your existence cesses ? (No Disrespect Intended In Asking These Questions, Just Really Curious)

Are You looking forward to an state of oblivion when Your existence cesses ? (No Disrespect Intended In Asking These Questions, Just Really Curious) there is no god it's a myth so yes I'm happy to believe there is no god. I'm self aware because that's how brains work for us. I'm aware just like any other animal that has evolved this far or I should of said will evolve. So yes I'm happy with that. When my time is up its up. Fearing death is like fearing your own farts it's gonna happen whether you like it or not. I didn't exist before I was conceived and it didn't bother me then I'm just going back to that.

Now your last question back to you. Do you fear death is that the reason for your belief's

Now your last question back to you. Do you fear death is that the reason for your belief's I am not comfortable with the idea that after I'm self-aware I'm not to be aware. What is more that state of oblivion doesn't answer the here-and-now.

I still maintain the majority of self-professing Atheists are actually Agnostics, but they don't know the meaning, often. An Agnostic wants to believe in a Divine Being, but disquieting doubt persistently makes them predisposed to not believing in a Divine Being. This sort of vacillation get exhausting to maintain, so saying they're Atheists is easier. i beg to differ most agnostics do not discount the possibility but do not believe. as a rule they are less dogmatic than atiests

To be perfectly honest, I'd be to cowardly to not believe in God. I could not function in this world.

So, You're saying an Agnostic does not discount the possibility of a Divine Being, but generally doesn't believe ?

eric22t Joined Wed 08/13/14 Posts: 27928	Tue 07/14/15 03:03 PM
yes except for the word generally do not believe period full stop. and not searching for belief.
