Taboo and Doorman, this frame of reference I have about Atheists is purely from what I've experienced. If you can respect my beliefs I can respect yours, even if we both think the other person is wrong. No matter what you believe, respect and tolerance are always good places to start. |

--- Quote from: Sirrus on November 03, 2009, 10:13:53 PM ---Atheists. I think Atheists are almost hypocritical in the sense that they always accuse anyone religious (mainly Christians) of being silly for believing this or believing that. I call your beliefs silly. I don't call you silly. Even when my insults are directed towards you and are not specified towards your beliefs, that's my intention. I respect humanity and the ease at which we are mislead and one must accept that. and Well, inversely, it's just as easy for a Christian to say to an Atheist 'you're silly for not believing in God.' I call your belief silly because you can't produce any evidence. You're taking it on faith, which I believe is a silly (and harmful) way of doing things. I think that if Atheists really tried to practice what they preach, they'd end up being Agnostic, saying 'Well there's no way to prove it either way.' Actually, you don't know what agnosticism means. Neither do you know what atheism means. Being an agnostic in regard to something implies you believe that no information can be found out on the subject, and no solution will be more probable than the other(s). Atheism is just the lack of belief in the supernatural. Non-theism. I have discovered that the probability of God's existence is so minuscule that assuming his existence is a poor bet. Life could be spent on much better things. I, as a Christian, think both Atheists and Agnostics are wrong, but it's a lot easier for me to respect someone who is Agnostic because I think they're more respectful to everyone's beliefs. I, to my best recollection, do not remember ever having met an Atheist who's attitude towards myself or Christians in general was 'Yes, that's your belief, I think you're wrong but I can respect you as a person.' I find it interesting that you Christians say this but at the same time you believe I am going to be suffering for eternity for what I believe. If you don't, you're going against the Bible. If you say the Bible contains fallacies, how can you know what is false? Is the part that says God exists false? Also, don't turn this into a religion war because that's not what was intended. um --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Doorman on November 03, 2009, 10:21:15 PM ---I'm offended, though. I'm an atheist, but I think a person is good not based on what that person believes in, but rather by how productive that person is in society. You have only met atheist extremist(s), also known as Inv3rted. He thinks, as far as I can tell, that a person is stupid because that person thinks there is some omnipotent being here helping us through our daily lives. I disagree with you one the fact that there is a god, but I don't think you're a complete idiot for choosing to believe so. With this, I can kin of agree, but it isn't like that throughout America. It's just that way with the people in control, unfortunately. --- End quote --- <3 --- Quote from: Sirrus on November 03, 2009, 10:27:11 PM ---Taboo and Doorman, this frame of reference I have about Atheists is purely from what I've experienced.

Debate is my way of stopping ignorance in its tracks. I am a secular humanist, and the most important thing is that belief should not cloud our judgment. |
