My bad, I just assumed intelligent people who don't believe in God would have made a well thought out decision so when someone asks why don't you believe, the reply could be "too many contradictions" which would lead me to ask " oh, can you tell me more etc" instead of "I just don't" or "I don't...
This is where it gets tricky, because I don't "belong" to any particular religion/denomination but yeah I guess you could say it's the guy in the Bible.
That person exists in three...father, son, HS, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent etc etc
That said I'm not convinced the bible is...
Oh I don't mind the thread being derailed....:)..I just mind when people come in, don't read the thread, make assumptions and then post things which to me at least, come across as argumentative and aggressive.
Her biggest mistake was assuming I am here to make everyone believe in "my"...
Well to make peace with something, you have to be at war with it? :shrug:
I couldn't give a monkeys uncle if you believe or not, have you actually read the OP? I was interested to hear why people don't believe in God, gods or whatever religion there is out there. I wasn't asking for detailed...
But He did do that...his name was Jesus. OK he didn't talk to everyone, but those he did crucified him! Do you think people would react differently now?
Edit and your right. I think I read somewhere the only 10% change their religion from what they were raised.
Hehe yes I have heard of Islam. I've spoken to a Muslim about Islam....could never convert because if the contradictions I see. However I know enough about the religion to convert if there wasn't the contradictions! I've been given a fair chance. If Islam is right, I'm screwed. I'd have to a...
Ah "I'm not convinced" is different to "I just don't"....one infers that you have looked at the "evidence" or lack their of and made a decision, the other infers you have made a decision out of thin air.
I think people are mixing things up slightly... "Proof" is different to "a reason". I...
But if there was a debate on the existence of God....one side believes, one side no belief....you would have to give reasons for you not believing? If someone said to you why don't you believe? I can't imagine you would answer "I just don't".
You have a very angry and hardened heart. I hope that one day you realise not all people who believe do this, nor would choose to, nor are they all necessarily bad, just because a woman chooses not to use contraceptives, it's got nothing to do with me. I don't fully disagree with you, I disagree...
The child would be able to choose for itself in most situations. I also don't claim to know what my brother would or not do when he has a child. He is still technically a child himself.
What about the atheists I mentioned who had had circumcision?
Why is it ok for an atheist to choose to...
If you are giving to edit your posts to hide things you have said...I am not engaging with you. That is dishonest.
After every example you clearly stated "an atheist would not do that"
I agree so why doesn't the lack of belief in God need proof? It's still a claim? It doesn't have to be agreed by the general population, but personally you will still have a reason to make such a claim.
Put it this way...all claims of belief are based on choice. There are some things which...
