Fundamentalist Atheists

There is scripture to support this.

'Do not cast your pearls before swine.'

Sounds like an insult?....sure it does.

Are we allowed to quote scripture?

Well lets think about this shall we. If referring to casting pearls means religious teaching and swine means atheists then there would be no more religion. Why do you ask. Because not one child unless told that it was by someone they trusted would actually think a 2,000 year old dead man had made the world a better place by dying. That he was God but at the same times he isn't God.

Kids are not born believing in Jesus. Making them atheists until you tell them they owe their lives to worshipping a man they see as their ethnicity. So I think its a hell of an idea to never teach another person about Jesus and letting them discover it for themselves. I' d bet the world at least 75% of believers were told to believe something by those raising them. They still believe that. If they lived in another place they would believe another religion. Let them choose for themselves.

I don't believe in God because someone told me to.
I believe because of science.

What is your excuse for not believing?

Lol. Some people are atheists because of science. I have a couple of friends who are both scientists and are both atheists because of science. One is the daughter of a pastor and the other was Catholic.

Been catholic.......and almost a priest because of it.

Science cannot disprove God.
It cannot form an experiment.
No 'proof' can be rendered by experiment.

But science would have you believe in a great many other things.
Like nothing moves without 'something' to move it.
And the universe had a starting 'point called a singularity.

In the beginning.......

It's not the point of science to disprove (a) god. But I can understand why scientific study and learning in general can lead a person to non-belief. It certainly contributed to my loss of faith.

Friend CynthiaCyper,

There is absolutely no evidence that babies are atheist.
Atheist is as per dictionary:
a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.
So, with that do you have evidence otherwise?

Nay.
Faith doesn't need proving (see Webster's)

You gave it up for some emotional disappointment.

Yeah, you're just supposed to believe in it no matter how hard reality slaps you in the face and no matter where questioning leads you. No, thanks.

No, I gave it up because my seemingly simple questions weren't answered by my studies.

And they won't be.
Science can take you to the 'point'.
You have to choose.

So.....dead things beget life?

Well babies aren't really actively denying or disbelieving are they?

And according to some Freudian child psychologists, our little angels might actually think that they are the center of reality and everything is an extension of their egos. That would make babies more like little egotistical pantheistic animist or autotheistic if anything.

So how many babies do you have?
