Why even think about atheism?

[Faith No More]

Seriously! This thread is really for you atheists out there. If you're unsure about you if you should be an atheist or not this thread is really just for you!

Atheism is like paganisms christianity. It's just that simple and redundant. If you even consider atheism in your life, I would like to ask you about that too. Why ever consider atheism as valued for yourself? If "atheism is disbelief in God", paganism is "satanic practice", ---christianity is the belief in God---this ammounts with saying that atheism is like paganisms christianity simply means atheism is not even a mainstream term, it is not a religious view but a negetive one, it should not be in the books, nor should it be taught in schools....

That much derogitoryness about atheism is recognized by me as a known fact already established. Why have atheism out there in the world anyway? To simply encourage disbelief in the positions held by the theists. There is nothing wrong therefore with the position of the theists, all religion is christianity, and the world goes on like a fart in the wind.  

I made a previous thread that stated you must make a choice about what to believe or not to believe. This is also true! At some point in your life you run across God, and must choose something to believe about the feeling inspired in you. The only valuable belief is belief in God, although you can make the choice to disbelieve if you like--- that would be rather like accepting that you are a monkeys uncle though--- an "atheist": a purely rationless existant. A hypocritical evil.

I just don't get it, maybe someone can enlighten me, but why? Why even THINK to indulge atheism? What is it that makes you, and so many others, fall into the trap that, supposively by christians standards, makes you go to hell?

If you're so worried about us going to hell, perhaps you can drop the ad hominems and bring in some substantive arguments. You know, actually convince us with evidence like people that value reason do.

That's why I'm an atheist. Because people like you are complete failures at defending your religion, and the best you can muster is masturbatory bullshit like this.

So, every time you see an atheist, I hope it reminds you of what a failure you are.

The main reason we talk about this stuff is that someone has to tell these theists not to take their beliefs so seriously. The United /states was the first secular country. The founders saw the wars between protestants and catholics, and decided they didn't want that happening again. The first amendment is for the protection against religious or non religious discrimination, yet Christians have been trying to turn this into a theocracy from day 1. It's gotten to a point that some people legitimately believe this nation was founded on Christian principles, and they put the ten commandments on the supreme court buildings despite the fact that only two are actual laws.

We don't like what theists have done to our country. The Salem witch trials happened here because of religious extremism. We had a war partly because religious southerners thought they had a right to own slaves, and used the bible to justify it. Just recently some lawyer in California tried to pass state mandated execution of gays. Atheists are the most mistrusted minority in the country, for no reason other than theists claiming we have no morals.

I know you want us to get back in the closet, but there's only so much you can push someone down before they start to fight back. Even a dog will bite if it's hit enough times.

You know, Kingpin, I sometimes wish I was still a Christian so I could spend my time gutting the idiocy of these types of Christians from the perspective of a fellow believer, one who simply doesn't put up with the idiocy of this particular type of trollish moron.

As annoying and idiotic as we find them, simply from the bad argumentation and constant misinformation they vomit at us, they really have no true impact on us. But I know that when, on occasion, we get an idiot atheist who spouts ridiculous misinformation in the name of the same "Hi! My religious views are..." nametag I wear, it makes me shudder at the association.

I see a lot of those types of atheist trolls on Facebook discussion threads; I can only imagine that Christian forums are troubled with them, as well. But since this is my "home base" arena, I mainly see the Christian kind of troll, like the OP.

What breed of animal are you, c17?

You're the one playing the guitar on your freshly crushed rox.

JBK, you're making all believers look bad. That's my job.

Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.

If you even consider atheism in your life

Why even THINK to indulge atheism?

Atheism isn't a thing you can consider or indulge.  In fact, there isn't a choice involved at all.

I can choose to proclaim belief or disbelief; that's a choice.  I cannot choose to actually believe or not believe.

I think I heard this on TTA podcast once:  If you hang me by my feet from the top of the empire state building I can proclaim that I do not believe in gravity; that doesn't change the fact that I believe I will fall if you let me go. (paraphrased)

I still have a hard time figuring out which ones are just trolling and which ones actually take this stuff seriously.
