Why do Atheists Hate Religion?

[RoomBot]

God is a loving god..

1. The Flood (Genesis 6-8)
2. The cities of the plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18-19)
3. The Egyptian firstborn sons during the Passover (Exodus 11-12)
4. The Canaanites under Moses and Joshua (Numbers 21:2-3; Deuteronomy 20:17; Joshua 6:17, 21)
5. The Amalekites annihilated by Saul (1 Samuel 15)
6. @BADecker preaching his "word" (BCT)

Yep. God loved the good people so much, that after He had given the bad people dozens of years and multiple decades (at least), He decided to get rid of the bad guys to protect the good people.

God doesn't want anybody to die. So don't be like the people in the list. Rather turn to God and His salvation in Jesus. I mean, God is still God. Be upset with His ways if you like. But get on His side, because He is way stronger than you. And if you think you won't turn to Him because of better principles, you will lose, and you won't like it at all. Your honor isn't worth an eternity of death.

What happens to all of the people who lived & died before Christ -- and the gazillions of people around the world who never even heard of him?  They all go to Hell?
Nice God.

If you look in Genesis, right after the fall into sin, God came to Adam and Eve, walking in the Garden. Jesus was there.

Check out Who "The Angel of The LORD" in the Old Testament was.

Jesus has been here from the beginning. Worldwide communications may have been slow, but the world found out about the nation of Israel.

You have completely revised the Old Testament.

Are you a Mormon, perchance?

It is often modern Bible scholars who are revising the Bible in the minds of people. Get into the Bible and you will see that there are loads of things that are not expressed clearly by modern Bible scholars.

For example. Jesus quoted the Old Testament when He said that people are gods, if the Word of God comes to them. But among the teachings of the Bible Scholars you mostly hear how humble and pathetic sinners are. Teaching our people that sinners ARE humble and pathetic is a right thing, but leaving out the part how we are gods is wrong. The Old Testament says it correctly by adding that we will all die like the sons of men... even though we are gods.

That is only one example of many.

"Check out Who "The Angel of The LORD" in the Old Testament was."

Gabriel.

So.....?

Why do you never answer simple questions here?

I would have ignored you months ago but you are 100% right on in US politics.

How did that happen?


I think you're here to troll US.  Just a vast left-wing conspiracy theory....

I suppose that some scholars might suggest Gabriel. But most consider The Angel of The LORD to be Jesus or one of the other persons in the Trinity. Some think He was an angel who was very close to God, like Gabriel. But Gabriel isn't mentioned in the Bible even indirectly regarding this.

I answer many questions directly... like this one. What is the requirement that I answer any?

I am here to present what I consider to be truth, or at least different ideas, just like everyone else except the trolls.

It's because some leaders of the religion are doing shameful things and using the name of God for selfish reasons. I think this is one of the reason why atheists hate religion. Some religious groups also do things that are immoral and then defend themselves that they are only doing it because it is the will of a higher being they believed in.

[BADecker]

Well, I have no belief in any invisible magic guys up in the sky but don´t hate those delusions. People believe all sorts of nonsense, that´s their choice.

If people can believe in flat earth, they can believe in anything. The idea is to believe things that make some sense, and to keep in mind some important things that do not make sense. Invisible magic guys in the sky are not so important, partially because they don't make sense. The idea of God is important to keep in mind, because nobody has proven He doesn't exist, and...

... science and nature show that God DOES exist. The existence of God is something that is known to be true. The believing part has to do with the thing that God really is, and what He is planning, doing, and why. And more than that, believing has to do with what God is instructing people, His laws that He built right into people in their DNA.

If people can believe in salvation through Christ, they can believe anything. You are correct, people are entitled to believe what they like.

But ask yourself:
     If other peoples delusions started creeping into the laws of the land. Would their delusions bother you then?
     If other peoples delusions started creeping into the tax system, so your pay packet was slightly lighter every month. Would their delusions bother you then?
     If other peoples delusions started creeping into schools poisoning your children. Would their delusions bother you then?

See. The problem is people cannot keep their delusions to themselves.

it's very strange why many atheists are hating christians while all (real) christians love atheists 
And even God loves them, but they still act crumpy. Very strange

Hating Christians would be silly and not acceptable. They are entitled to believe in what they like. They are entitled to be left alone, IF they leave others alone.

Christianity on the other hand is a religious ideology. A different ball game. Hating an ideology is perfectly acceptable.
However, Christianity hates Christians because it deceives them into worshipping a false god.

Pity Christians, don't hate them. They are the victims of Christainity, show them some compassion.

Amusing but utterly incoherent. Science is built upon metaphysics.

Fix your life? Fix your metaphysics by Bruce Charlton
http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2016/06/fix-your-life-fix-your-metaphysics.html

Metaphysics are your fundamental assumptions. These are chosen: they were chosen by you (although you probably weren't aware of choosing them, but just passively accepted them).

Fundamental assumptions are chosen - but they are not arbitrary; because the assumptions have consequences. You can choose whatever you want to believe - but sometimes you will not be able to make yourself live-by these chosen beliefs; and other times you will live by them (including thinking by them) such that they lead to nonsensical and therefore self-refuting outcomes.

The trouble is that in a world where people have stopped thinking- and when their assumptions lead to incoherent, nonsensical conclusions, instead of sorting-out their metaphysics - they just stop thinking (easier to do than ever before in human history - due to the ubiquity of mass media and social media).

Anyway - my point is that if you have certain (very common) assumptions, then you will either have a nihilistic, hope-less and despairing world view --- or else you will have to stop yourself thinking about anything serious.

There are innumerable commonly-held assumptions that lead to this: that Man has no free will, that the world is either random and unpredictable or else rigidly predetermined, that nothing exists except what has been described by 'science', that morality is a matter of opinion, that beauty is wholly in the eye of the beholder... oh, there are dozens of such.

Indeed, most of people's primary assumptions nowadays are of a type that lead to nonsensical or incoherent conclusions - so it is futile to complain about the low standard of rational public debate when rational debate is only possible on the basis that people are able and willing to examine and revise their assumptions when they lead to absurd outcomes.

Because perhaps the most absurd modern metaphysical assumption of all is that metaphysics is meaningless and all decisions should be made on the basis of 'evidence'!

Whereas (as quickly becomes apparent in any disagreement) unless there is agreement on metaphysical assumptions then the cannot even be agreement on what counts as evidence, leave aside the matter of evaluating the strength of evidence...

It's more like...

PHILOSOPHY is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.

METAPHYSICS is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there. - FALSE
It's black cat in dark room. You don't know if black is there or not. You can't conclude black cat isn't there.

THEOLOGY is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat and shouting "I found it" because black cat came to it.

SCIENCE  is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat using a fucking flashlight denying black cat in its arm. (from theology's view)
