Me and a friend of mine like to get into deep discussions about religion and so on and so forth. Just so that ya'll know where I stand, I am a christian...non denominational. I dont completely believe in certain aspects of organized religion...church is not my forte much lately. Anyways, to the point...
We were discussing how it seems to us that atheists seem to be angry. Either at Christians or just at the world in general. I like to do research on different religions and have explored many different options. I am simply inquiring about atheists just so I can understand more. Do you think atheists are angry? Are you atheist? Are you angry? Explain why and tell me a little about what you believe so that I can understand. Once again, please be respectful in everything you say and do me a favor and put a little thought into it...dont respond with a simple statement like "christians are hypocrites" or something like that. Thanks... |

Dont forget that Christianity is very much on its way out. The reason I stopped "believing" was I realized that the way I thought about Christianity then is exactly how the Greeks thought of their religion, and then I thought of how crazy I figured that religion to be. That led me to research other religions such as Islamic and Indian religions. The once great religions of the past are now no more than fictitious fanciful stories, but to those who followed(most more adamantly than any christian alive today) these gods and goddesses were serious and they whole-heartedly believed in their wrath. Even most christians today dont think the old testament happened, they think it is just a book of stories to guide us through our lives, and in that sense they are right. But was there ever a man named moses who parted a sea? No, thats incredibly stupid. In the modern world where basically everyone lives in sin, even if they dont want to admit it, the stories of God and Jesus are being ripped apart by science and discovery. Was there ever a man named Jesus? Yes, thats been proven more than once. Could he do miracles though? No. And we as a people are slowly learning that fact, that we are alone in this world. But the possibilty of life elsewhere grows ever more realistic. Im not gonna flat out say there are aliens in spaceships and such, but it is a possibility and in my mind is an even greater possibility than an omnipotent invisible presence that holds the divine power of creation and destruction which he can use at a whim. Believe what you want, I wont look down on you. My best friends in life are christians, good for them. They have something to look forward to. I however try to make a paradise out of the life I live now.
