Why I'm an atheist

[BTC_Maxipad]

The fact that there are hundreds of religions around the world is why I am also an atheist. Every single one of them thinks they have all the answers.... in reality, no one knows for sure.

As someone said, Christians (and before them, pharaoh Akhenaton and the Jews) spared Atheists a lot of time, when they ruled out all the thousands of gods that were worshiped 2 thousands years ago as purely fake gods.

They created the perfect target for Atheists: only one god.

The holy trinity didn't really create much problems. It's so absurd that makes every thing easier.

But the real point is, machines have makers. We don't have one strand of evidence that there is anything that came into existence spontaneously, without having been made. And we know of countless things that have makers.

The complexity of the universe shows that whatever could make it, fits our understanding of what God would be. God made it all.

What seems to be the current best speculative attempt to explain the Universe's creation says that it was created by Quantum Fields, fields of energy which create particles by interacting between each other.

It's mainly a theoretical framework, as this is far from being empirical verified.

Anyone saying that anything able to create the Universe fits the concept of god, can create another church and start worshiping Quantum Fields.

Being an Atheist is still a dangerous stand. On several countries we are still subject of persecution

This is the most lengthy thread I have ever read since I joined Bitcointalk. ......

Obviously you must be new here... this one is a bit longer....https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0

.....You have done justice by analyzing the two most popular religious believe.....

I can do justice by analyzing the Flying Spaghetti Monster if you'd like. His noodled appendage touched my soul and now I am a true believer.

..... I personally will not belong to any of those religion if it was only through just reading or listening to the religious leaders teach. .....

Oh come on now! Try reading the Holy Babble Bullshit Bible... its full of inerrant facts that cannot be disputed because ummm.... well they just can't, and that's that.

. I am a Christian, I stick to being a Christian because of my personal enchanters I have with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. ...

enchanters eh?  Yeah, I got enchanted once by an evil enchanter monster under my bed. I was five at the time and my mommy woke me up from having a nightmare.

...... I have received healing severally without taking any drugs. ..

Try taking drugs. You will have severally good times.

.... The holy spirit guides me ...

The holy spirit guides me too. Well, that's what I call  a shot of Absolut Peppar anyway  " The holy spirit"... its good shit man and causes me to make these less than eloquent posts.

........by showing me visions of what will happen in the future and they all come to pass.

Whoa!! I have visions of what will happen in the future that come to pass too!.. like for instance, I had this vision last night that the sun would come up in the morning,
...and lo and behold, the sun came up!... its fucking magic!!! ... 


 But anyway, ateotd ............... it's why I'm an atheist.

Well, that just goes to show you, by your own admittance, that you don't really know how the universe works. The sun doesn't come up in the morning. Rather, the Earth turns so that a different section of it faces the sun.

So, learn a little science so that you can stop spouting magic. All you are proving is that your atheism is a religion.

The book of Genesis is full of magic. ROFL.

How old is Earth, again? Please do tell us.

Please do tell us your views on evolution. LOL.

Science my ass.

Creation isn't magic. Rather, it's a miracle.

From the best ancient history records, the earth is about 7,500 years old in our current age. Even second best records show that our current age is probably less than 10,000 years old, but couldn't be more than 25,000 years old. All told, no human knows how old the universe really is.

If you are talking about standard Evolution Theory (ET) type of evolution, ET absolutely destroys evolution, and this whole evolution idea is simply a trick being played on the minds of evolutionists. For you, I will say the reason again. Here it is:

Study Cause and Effect (C&E). Everything operates by C&E. There is nothing that happens without being caused. There is no truly spontaneous action that ever happens. At least, we haven't found any. In fact, a truly spontaneous action doesn't even fit how the physics of the universe works.

Because of this, random mutations in ET are not spontaneous happenings. Rather, random simply means that we don't know the mutations that make evolutionary changes. Since we don't know which or what mutations, how do we know that evolution exists at all? We don't! It's all guesswork.

People who absolutely believe that evolution exists something like ET states, have a religion-like idea going for themselves, because random in ET says that we don't know.

Yep. Stuff you are talking about isn't science. Rather, it is science fiction, some of which might accidentally happen to be true once in a while. But you don't know it.

Try supplementing on Gingko Biloba and Focus Factor. They might help you to think better. No; seriously. No belittlement meant.

So, fill yourself on the Bible. It's the only accurate source for Christianity. See you in Heaven.

Where is Heaven?

Is that some sort of comic book convention?

Most mythologies (also known as religions) offer something in exchange for following a number of precepts. Most of the organised religions basically try to achieve a certain social order and peace in a society. It is much easier to do so if you promise a price for good behaviour and what is better than eternal life in a paradise, heaven or whatever you choose.

There is no obvious reason to believe in any of the "religions" than there would be to believe in the ancient Greek gods or in the sanctity of cows. There is no obvious reason either to think that there is nothing out there, whatever shape may it take, that has some connection with eternity or our creation. If something is certain, is uncertainty on the fundamental questions of life.

A mistake that many people make is, they live thinking that they don't have any religion. EVERYBODY has religion! People who say that they don't have religion, simply have a religion of no-religion.

The important thing is to find the religion that is correct. Everybody dies, even the no-religion people. What this means is that eternal life is not part of this life.

If anybody wants eternal life, he has to find the right religion. Why? Because EVERYBODY has religion in some form... even if it is simply a religion of no-religion. Find the right religion, and live forever in a new life.

Being a Christian isn't about making heaven or going to heaven please let's not limit Christianity to heaven because in revelation we find out that God himself will come down and dwell amongst men eternally so when we christians talk about heaven it usually about the 1000 millennial reign of Christ when the antichrist takes over the world by then those of us that are raptured taken up will be there in heaven waiting for the 2nd judgement.
During this period those who don't believe in Christ will be given a second chance to repent to join us if not.... Sorry will be thier case because eternal damnation awaits them..... Accept Jesus Christ now and join us to enjoy a glorious life eternally....

Isaiah, Peter, and Revelations all talk about the fact of the New Heavens and the New Earth... with the old ones having passed away. Isaiah even says that this old one will not be remembered or brought to mind. So, there really IS only Heaven for the Christian.

God, Himself, IS here in the form of Christians, right now. John 17 Jesus prayed that He, his disciples, and all Christians would be one with God. Saint Paul says it in two places. The present is God's rule on Earth, through His people.

The 1000 years is figurative. Moses shows it in Psalm 90. Peter says it straight out when he says that a thousand years is as a day, and a day as a thousand years. In other words, the thousand years in Revelation is a long period of time where God rules the earth... through His people... through Jesus, because everything has been given by God over to the authority of Jesus.

Your second chance to repent is an extreme limitation. All people have many chances to repent. What's the difference between having many chances to repent, and then one more chance. And why aren't ALL the dead from the beginning being given this last chance?

The whole millennial idea is designed to take the focus off Jesus and right now. When you are dead, it's too late. Any of us could die any minute. Consider how fast death came for many in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No chance to even think. No more chances.

You wanted me to bite didn't you bud? I know ....It's how you get your jollies. Sit around in front of a screen all day and post nonsense on a bitcoin forum in hopes someone will quote and reply.
Here ya go..... nom nom nom nom!!.  You're welcome!
Carry on now, as I'm sure you will. Hey, do you have a paying job outside of posting claptrap all day?? Just curious. I do. I'll even tell you about it, if you want.

ateotd .... it's why I'm an atheist... so I can mock silly folks like you. Its like shooting fish in a barrel.

I think the reason you are an atheist is because you have a quarrel or a grudge with God  ,but deep down you know that God exists .

I think the reason you posted is because you are either a delusional idiot or some stupid meaningless AI bot.

Of course I want you to bite. That's why people get dentures when they lose their teeth. Makes it a lot easier on your digestive system to bite and chew your food instead of swallowing it whole.

The point is, whatever your religion, atheist or other, God wants you to be saved. He didn't make you just to be destroyed. But if you want it badly enough, He'll give it to you.

Consider. You are one of His works of art. Like as no two snowflakes are the same, there is only one of you. God loves you for what you are, and the only thing that can take you out of His loving hands is you yourself.

Just remember. Once you are finally really out of God's loving hands, there will be no way back in. God is long-suffering. His mercy is great. But His justice will prevail.

This is just an emotion, not an opinion. You don't know if they really knew God existed or not. The most important thing is that they are convinced of its existence. Many have heard of its existence but may not be convinced of it. Or perhaps they did not find sufficient evidence to prove its existence. Just because you don't believe in the existence of God doesn't mean you haven't heard that he can actually exist.

[BADecker]

^^^ But everybody has religion. Such is natural, even if it is a religion of atheism. Also, a 'God' religion is the way billions of people believe in their religion right now. And looking at the religions back thousands of years, most of the people believed in God or gods.

If it takes a lot of realistic thinking to determine if God exists or not, but one had better find out for sure. Because if He exists, He might be wanting some worship... or else.

I spread my genes.. my job is done.
I now have a legacy.... like all my ancestors, who survived, to give me 64 plus years and counting of existence on this planet. To them, I am eternally grateful and say thank you for surviving
a life much harder than mine. I will never thank some stupid imaginary sky fairy dreamed up by ancient folk who knew no better, because ancient times, so I don't blame them.
I do however in this day and age of science and understanding of our world, blame idiots who know better, who perpetually propagate, for whatever reason (usually money, power),
these retarded ancient superstitious beliefs of sky fairies and call it "faith" (aka religion, the biggest hoax ever pulled on mankind, no matter what flavor), for a huge amount of wrongness in our world today.

ATEOTD... It's why I'm an atheist and if everyone else on this planet was, we could be in a far better place.
Not in my lifetime, but inevitably, this religion scourge will be discarded to the relics of history where it belongs.

It's not that you believe in your atheism religion, but rather, you have adopted Satan's self-destruction religion to be your own.
