    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Except I don't think like that because I believe in God. And I don't think that's much of an endorsement, it just means that Atheists are as good at denial as they claim we are.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Sad? It's reality. None of you have yet to dispute that, All you've done is say you don't think like that. Which is nice and all, I suppose, But doesn't change anything.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    I already said that it's not how I imagine Atheists think, But that doesn't mean that it isn't the truth. I'm sure you all have your own philosophies and moralities that keep you warm at night, but for someone like me it wouldn't be enough.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Is that not how things actually are? Please tell me if you disagree and explain to me how I'm wrong, because if you have some better understanding (Which you might do, I'm not an Atheist so I don't know how you reconcile these things) then I'd like to hear it.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    I don't imagine an Atheist thinks like that, It's just what an Atheistic world would actually be.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    It's my view of Atheism, And I'm not an Atheist. And if you don't like it well, I'm not asking you too. Feel free to ignore me if that is what you want. No, because like I said I'm not an Atheist.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Then be specific, Tell me exactly what I said that wasn't the truth and why it wasn't the truth. I keep being told I'm wrong, but no one seems to want to explain why.

    Christians: I am generalizing to get this off my mind

    If you don't like it, just tell them that. Christians are people, you know, so just talk to them like they're people and they should respond. Also I hate to point it out except you keep talking about humility and I have to say your post is anything but. I understand it's a rant, but still...

    What? Um.. no. Was there anything in my post that wasn't the absolute truth?

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    That's reality. That's why I have to be a Theist. Because I don't ignore reality.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Hell isn't what I'm afraid of, It's life. More specifically, A meaningless life. Because you can have nice feelings, and have kids, and live your life and then die but your life will have meant nothing. Your feelings would have meant nothing, and everything you suffered, everything you worked...

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Because no other God is real to me. Allah is harsh, Yahweh is strict and Jehovah is desperate. But God, my God, the God that could be any one of those, all of them or none of them. He is, and even though I don't know Him very well I will still spend my life trying too. And I think most of the...

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    I think having faith is appealing because the alternative is less so. Call it weak if you like, But I'd rather not live in a Godless world.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Well far be it from me to persuade you otherwise if you're genuinely satisfied with that perspective.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Then what are you left with, when you reach the end? Nihilism can seem to trump everything.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    I love knowledge too. Wisdom, moreso. But I understand our limits, as humans. We can never know everything. At some point you've got to acknowledge that it will only ever get you so far. I know a lot of Atheists get annoyed when they have scripture quoted at them, But I think this verse is more...

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    You're assuming we know everything we need to know. But we don't. So for whatever reason that we are unable to see, the world is as it is. Meaning the evil you attribute to God may be something that cannot be avoided for a specific, benefical effect. I don't know. I don't claim to know, All I...

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    It's not sad to attempt to understand things, to gain knowledge. Religion is just that.

    How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

    Why do people see death as bad? It's an end to suffering and pain, an end to doubt and fear. If it were anything, it'd be a mercy. God gave us life and free will and everything bad that happens to us is because of our choices and our ancestors choices, and at the end God cleans up our mess and...

    Well I thought it was pretty obvious. What did you expect me to say?
