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... |

the people i know that are truly angry associate themselves with different groups such as deism, atheism, and christianity
so, really i think the religous belief a person chooses has a little to do with how angry they are, but it mainly depends on each person's personal experience with religion and their own assumptions and ideas. |

Well there's only two kinds of Atheist. The faithless pussified humans who blame God for everything and anything that doesn't go their way because they think God is their servant of some sort. (no pun intended voguelove) And the atheist who actually look at the human logic of things and see that there's no proof in their eyes that God exists. |

Wait ... how can an Atheist blame God for everything and anything that doesn't go their way? A = no Theist = God. They don't believe in God. Period. |

Uh... voguelove would fall into the atheist who blamed God for everything and anything etc... and became unfaithful/atheist. Meaning at first the person was faithful and God loving or even wasn't so religious/agnostic. Something went bad one day or a series of events happened and they blamed God for all the negative things that had happened. Thus becoming an atheist out of spite. It's not hard to understand my post, is it? |

Of course, they go from faithful to faithless, then at some point of their life they'll start to study religion and science and see that science has a logic (human at that) of which denies the existence of God. |
