Evidence for atheist claims

[Mister Agenda]

I must say I am a bit dissappointed. I am dissappointed because I have sensed a great unjustice in the behaviors of this forum's people and not only, of course. I do believe everybody is free to think and believe what they want to, but I know that you have done a great unjustice towards christianity, by asserting into it wrong theology, wrong concepts and wrong exegesis, basically creating a new christianity, molded to your criteria which you can deliberately attack because it fits the atheism you have. Undoubtedly the atheism you have is a denial of the "god" of that christianity that is denaturated and wholly new. What can I say, I do recommend to the people of this forum to read Patristics and to leave aside the bunch of prejudices you have. Christianity is not Bible alone, is not creationism, is not "Accept Jesus in your heart and you will get saved", these are missconceptions. These are modern creations and they are the fountain of atheism because of their absurdity. The real christianity stands silent in the history of the first centuries, in the writings of the Fathers, in hesychasm, in asceticism, in the Scriptures guided by Sacred Tradition and so on... I will always teach anybody that wants to learn about this (anyone that is interested can PM me) but I cannot convince you, you must convince yourselves if you want to and all that is recquired is will. This I have said to you in case you want to learn more. And the debates I have created rapidly degenerated, with only two or three persons that answered honestly and the rest just doing mockery and so on, I have to tell you that it is not pleasant and that you should not do that anymore, in my opinion, but again, it is up to you.

May God bless you all, through the intercession of the Most Blessed Theotokos and of all the saint's.

There are literally more than 40,000 versions of Christianity, Wry. We are not the ones who did that. There are plenty of Christian Forums to go to if you want to address the misconceptions of other Christians and inform them of your real Christianity.

I don't disagree that rise of fundamentalism has a lot to do with the rise of atheism. However, based on your contributions here, it sounds like when you get into the pulpit, you'll do your fair share of the same, no fundamentalism required, just colossal ego.

A used vacuum cleaner sales man would love your pitch, if it worked anywhere outside religion: Just will yourself to believe my vacuum cleaner is superior and you will buy it. You must convince yourself, I can't do it for you.

It probably was unpleasant, but I doubt you have the humility to ever change your approach to preaching at strangers (or lying to them about intending to preach at them). But maybe when you're older. This thread will still be archived here in five years. I challenge you to re-read your posts then and see if you still think the mockery you received was completely unearned.

May the Flying Spaghetti Monster lay his noodly appendage upon your shoulders, but not in a creep way.
