Atheists suck at gambling.

If you're a Christian and God exists then you gain eternal happiness and life after you die. If God doesn't exist you lose nothing.

If you're a Atheist and God doesn't exist you lose nothing, if God does exist you burn forever.

Side: No! don't be stupid.

That's pathetic. Just believing in god to double down "just in case" is wrong and according to christians won't get you to heaven. You can't make yourself believe and the rational thing to do is NOT to believe. This is a perfect example of the scare tactic of hell being used to manipulate people. All evidence points to Christianity being false. There's no REASON to believe in this god and therefore no REASON to believe in hell. I pity those who blindly follow that stupid religion out of fear.

Side: Yes, right away.

How many times will christians/theists use Pascal's Wager!?

If God is a benevolent being, he will judge you on your merits. Feeding the poor, donating to charity, among other humanitarian efforts, are all more noble deeds than simple belief in God. The acts I referenced all have a direct positive impact on the world. If Gold is benevolent, why would he send someone who does good deeds to hell simply for not believing in Him?

No, if God is real and benevolent, he will judge you on your good deeds. Not on something as superficial and inconsequential as "belief" in him. Belief in God is therefore irrelevant at this point. Go out and do good deeds out of the kindness of your heart, not because God said it's the right thing to do.

Side: Yes, right away.

Christians also suck at common sense. Atheism is not some community full of devil worshiping whores who murder and lie all day. In fact, most Atheists still do follow the values put in place by the bible, because they honestly are good morals to live by. Fact is, we don't need a god to explain the existence of life or the universe anymore.

Side: Yes, right away.

Where to begin...

Christians also suck at common sense.

Can you support this? Define common sense.

Atheism is not some community full of devil worshiping whores who murder and lie all day.

No one is making that claim. Responding to non-existent conjectures is not going to get you very far here.

In fact, most Atheists still do follow the values put in place by the bible, because they honestly are good morals to live by.

That's great to hear! Many people here think it teaches violence and hatred!

Fact is, we don't need a god to explain the existence of life or the universe anymore.

Is this really a fact, or just your opinion? No one needs God as an explanation. People believe it because they believe it is the truth.

Side: No! don't be stupid.

Dude! Seriously... Don't do it!!!

Side: No! don't be stupid.

It's a sad day for humanity when there exists entire societies devoted to harassing something as meaningless as religion.

Side: No! don't be stupid.

the reason why atheists attack religion is because religion is holding humanity back. We would be so far ahead if it wasn't for the christian period in the middle ages. Also religion starts much more conflict then the atheist v christian one. Homophobia, attacks on other religions, general ignorance and non acceptance, and claims that i will go to hell if i don't believe. At the end of the day it is completely justified for one to despise religion however i do believe focusing on ones own beliefs is more important than focusing on others.

Side: Yes, right away.

"the reason why atheists attack religion is because religion is holding humanity back."

An atheistic delusion.

"We would be so far ahead if it wasn't for the christian period in the middle ages."

If it wasn't for the Church developing universities and continuing progress in science, there wouldn't have been any advances in the Middle Ages in Europe.

"Homophobia, attacks on other religions, general ignorance and non acceptance, and claims that i will go to hell if i don't believe."

Islamaphobia, attacks on religions, general ignorance and stereotypes claim that I no nothing about science because I'm a Christian.

Side: No! don't be stupid.

Eh, religion's role is kinda overplayed in that. It was partially responsible, but when something as dominant as the Roman Empire collapses, shit goes tits up, regardless of what God you believe in.

Also religion starts much more conflict then the atheist v christian one. Homophobia, attacks on other religions, general ignorance and non acceptance,

Since when were they exclusively religious conflicts?

At the end of the day it is completely justified for one to despise religion however i do believe focusing on ones own beliefs is more important than focusing on others.

There can be no justification for despising an unprovable concept that is most likely false, and can't hurt anyone.

Now people on the other hand...

Side: No! don't be stupid.

Atheisms have no faith, why would you want to go through life feeling a sense of emptiness? boggles my mind, im not saying join a religion but dont just lose your faith...

Side: No! don't be stupid.

A feeling of emptiness? Hah! That couldn't be further for the truth. I can't speak for all atheists, but whenever I'm outside and observing the beauty of the natural world, it's like I get an emotional high. May seem silly, but it's the truth.

Side: Yes, right away.

a feeling of emptiness as you dont believe in an afterlife, you believe you just die and thats it, thats pretty empty if you ask me. And theres nothing silly about an emotional high, thats your soul saying it wants more!

Side: Yes, right away.

I'm so with you on that mate.

Side: Yes, right away.

It is not a "choice"- it is recognizing fact. And if there is a god, wouldn't an "All Knowing" god know/understand why one has made the choice they have.

Side: Yes, right away.

Because were stronger than you. We don't need a source of hope to fall back on. We don't need it. WE are the god's of our own lives. There's no empty feeling because we fill it by getting the most out of THIS life instead of living a pathetic existence for some other life.

Side: Yes, right away.

yes we are the creators of our own universe, and just because you were given the powers of a god in your own little universe doesnt mean you arent part of a larger force at play

Side: No! don't be stupid.
