Dear Atheists

Cool, so you're an atheist in the sense we here use the term?

Christian Atheist yes. A paradox or contradiction perhaps? I call myself a Atheist because when i explain my religious views to my brothers in faith they don't accept me. They call me a Atheist and unbeliever. It's stuck with me ever since. For example, I don't believe in a literal Resurrection. This is blasphemy in Christianity but no matter what i Cant believe in a physical resurrection. Perhaps it's because I live in a post enlightened world where philosophy and science are at the forefront of knowledge. Logic doesn't curtail such a phenomenon.

For example, Imagine Caesar who was also son of god, called liberator, redeemer, all the titles applied to Jesus were applied to Caesar. There's a picture of Caesar on a silver Denarius where his spirit is rising from his body which is burning on a funeral pyre. Its on the coin. It's evidence. Now the question is which story or "evidence" are you going to believe? The Romans had the same evidence that Christians do today. They had the same arguments and its really a matter of Faith which one you choose. Do you go for Caesar and all he stands for? Or do you choose this low class peasant who is a non violent Resistor.

If you want to be some kind of follower of Christ while being an Atheist, feel free to do so. Calling yourself Christian might however lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings, because everyone will assume that you subscribe to the supernatural stuff which the biblical Jesus figure clearly endorses.
