I can't speak for every religion, but I am a Christian theist. Now what does that imply? Well, that would mean that I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of mankind, and that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
That is basically my belief in a nut shell. Now, if you are an atheist, you may find my beliefs laughable, sickening, stupid, etc....which is fine, Christianity isn't for everyone because after all, Jesus said "But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." (Matt 7:14).
But as an atheist, here is what you have to believe...you have to believe that billions of years ago before humanity, dead matter was floating around in space...and for whatever reason, suddenly, this dead matter "came to life". Not only did it come to life, but it came to life and began thinking, talking, and having sex.
Just think about that for a second. This non-living material suddenly CAME TO LIFE. For the life of me, I just can't get myself to believe that, even if I tried. I just don't understand how naturalism/atheism is a more reasonable position than theism.
You have to believe that a process that can't think or see, created consciousness. So consciousness came from a process that can't think??
I just don't have enough faith to be an atheist.
1. actually learn about other positions before attacking atheism
2. There is no such thing as dead matter the only state matter is in currently is active. "dead" matter wont exist until the universe freezes over.
4. the big bang energy exploded outwards it was hot really hot we got our fist element helium figure it out from there.
5. you know that stuff in space were pretty much made of it were made of star stuff so guess what in some weird way we are related to literally everything.
7. Atheism is a better default position there is no evidence of god. Theism is the worst default position because you have the burden of proof and still fail to hypothesize a god, with testable proof.
8. you don't have enough faith to be a atheist. that is atheism its the lack of faith and belief in a all knowing and all loving god. so you should say i lack the metal processes of understanding the natural world and only want to say god did it.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
