God made me an atheist

[The Transcended Omniverse]

With atheism, we do not know 100% for sure whether God exists or not. I know that many religious believers are selfish and harmful. So if you were once a religious believer who has become an atheist, do you sometimes wonder if there could be a God who made you an atheist so that you no longer commit your selfish and heinous religious acts? I know that possibility is almost completely none with atheists. But do you sometimes wonder anyway?

Is it a possibility, sure.
I don't think my line of thinking as to why follows yours put forward here, but, thought if god made me an atheist, sure.
I don't see why that would be strange to you, many atheists I know are very open minded, and look at things from different views.
But even following that train of though doesn't lead to any actual showing that it may be true.
It's a nice though exercise, but that's about it, unless you can explain otherwise.

Faith has nothing to do with light and shadows. It has everything to do with bypassing ones logical facilities in order to believe.

I have not noticed religious people and non religious people behaving very differently. Atheists just use different reasons for their misbehavior than theists do.

Currently there is no speaking nor interactive deity whatsoever.

Just people speaking and interacting.

100% is a spot on accurate figure.

I certainly would be capable of less good if I was the religion I was born to. If there was a beneficient god that chose it this way it makes no difference to me at the moment.

I think that there is a possibility of hiding behind religion as an excuse for bad behavior. I have seen it. Atheists don't have that luxury. So they have to be a little more "creative" with their reasons.

So in this case, maybe the expectation is that religious people are more dickish than non religious. Maybe they are. But I think that's a reflection of the mind of the one making the excuses to begin with. That said, I have no quarrel with any atheist or agnostic. They be cool peeps.

What makes you think that atheists do not commit 'selfish and heinous ..acts'? Such an ascertain is certainly biased. Do you have proof of this 'almost completely none with atheists'? If so, please provide it otherwise your assumption is just that, an assumption.

No, it's just ordinary irony.

Something within you made you change your mind.

Made aware of what "God" is not.

False.

I know with certainty there is no such concept, as all are man defined at will, and men created thousands of these concepts. No one even blinks an eye at dismissing old gods no longer worshipped.

Even you will admit most are mythological in origin. Well the reality is the one's most believe in falls in that same category of mythology.


Gods none of them exist scientifically, so I know for sure they do not exist, because there has never been anything to test outside literature.

Nope not at all.

Religion gave me a great foundation and respect for what humanity can create to control itself on even the mots primitive levels.

Well that's certainly ironic.

 

[Revoltingest]

Well that's certainly ironic.

A little...but it's more erroneous.

 

[psychoslice]

Na, there's no god what so ever.

Mother Therasa , selfish ? Huh which world do you live in she was very religious.
Imho anything less than 100% disbelief is doubt ,not atheism is only a tiny minority that can call themselves athiest imho .
The rest are doubters of varying degree and for varying reasons.
God did not make anyone athiest imho religion did but again not all religious folks are selfish imho
