What do you mean by (you don't believe in God) (Questions for athiests)

Add New Argument
2 points

Atheists believe in God.... they just don't want to believe in God because they are in rebellion to God. A parallel is that of a parent and child. When the child does something bad and the parent comes to punish him or her, he or she refuses to accept that he or she has done wrong or that he or she deserves punishment and he or she then rebells to the point of extreme anger. Atheists are just angry at God for no real reason.

Maybe in your mind, because you can't see a world without God.

A parallel is that of a parent and child.

So atheists are naughty children?

and he or she then rebells to the point of extreme anger.

Atheists are extremely angry? Oh right, like those atheist terrorists, or the atheists that campaign at the funerals of dead soldiers.

Atheists are just angry at God for no real reason

Care to prove this?

I do admit, it was not a very good analogy... haha I was going to put in there "(not really)" after saying it was a parallel, but I decided not to.

You are all kinds of stupid. We do not believe in any gods or deities whatsoever. We are not rebelling. We do not hate/like god or ideas of gods or religion. We simply do not believe based on a lack of evidence supporting them. If you wanna believe that then fine make that logical fallacy of hasty generalization of an entire group. Then ill do the same by saying all christians have a low IQ and dont know anything about science.

Your argument makes the presupposition that atheists believe in God. Did you ever bother to do a google search and find out what the term "atheist" means? I didn't think so...

I do not believe in God, not out of spite or anger or whatever. It is because I have found no evidence that would support god's existence. So much like fairies, dragons, werewolves, etc, God gets thrown in that pile because there is no evidence for his existence.

Your very right please allow me to elaborate though. They do have a reason but it's not an obvious reason to them, for they can not see the workings of their subconscious mind that works through their conscious mind in that they are controlled by other sources than there own independence. One can't come to know God if they are ignorant to self they must come to know self or they are in poverty. That's "the how" they rebel, here's "the why" And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were bad/evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved/corrected.------ And human god like individuals DO NOT want corrected-it takes a humble spirit-a child

they change thier feelings to being mad its that easy. have you ever change feelings before because no one ask that kind of question unless they kept only ONE emotion.

I mean

I don't believe in god!

I could also give you a list of things that I don't believe in but I think it would be slightly quicker to say why I think people do believe in gods.

Human have an insatiable desire for knowledge, as children we explore and play, as do all mammals, which helps us build up a knowledge of the world around it how we should relate to it and how it relates to us. Humans also have a couple of other abilities which helps and sometimes hinder us and are remnants of the evolutionary process. The ability to imagine, this helps us to plan and postulate. It also means we desire answers to questions we can not answer, god fits nicely in here as it acts as a painkiller untill we come up with answers. Why questions can always be answered by god wishes it.

We also have the ability to imagine cnversations with other humans. This is far more normal than imagining observing humans having conversations with each other and then slipping away and not relaying that conversation to anyone else. Many people reading this will similtaniously imagine themselfs conversing with others, maybe even on an unrelated topic. This is a normal part of the human thought process.

combining the two above brain processes gives a good basis for having an imaginary person to converse with. There's a lot more to this than I have badly summarised but I think I have laid the ground work for why people believe in higher beings and consequently why I don't.

Monotheisim has being around since about 1300 BC not including some other brief versions like that of Akhenaten in egypt. So in terms of humanity it's quite new.

Ok, KB... what's with all the parenthesis? Anywho, I don't really mean anything by not believing in a God... I also don't believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy. So? Ya Fools!

By I don't believe in god I mean I don't believe in any supernatural being as yet proposed to exist by humans, certainly not the type of god embodied by theism. It doesn't mean that I reject belief in all of them, I am neutral on many, however in the case of classical theism I reject the concept of a god which is concerned with our presumably comparatively primitive species.

I do not mean to say that I deny the possibility of God, but that I have confidently rejected the existence of every single God that has ever been proposed, by any person or party, in any form or number, and with any extent of powers and of faculties whatever.
