How Do Christians Reconcile The Following Question Regarding Their Faith?

[A Vestigial Mote]

Was there anything in my post that wasn't the absolute truth?

After my last couple of replies it shouldn't come as a shock to you that I am pretty sure most of your posts are completely devoid of truth.

 

[Thana]

Pretty much the whole damn thing.
But don't let reality get in the way of your "truth".

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.

 

[Thana]

So... you're seriously saying that, without God, your take on "reality" is that it is meaningless?

Now that is sad. This particular revelation has me contemplating ignoring all future content from you, honestly. I don't see that your viewpoint has anything to offer.

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.

And does anyone actually feel like this? That your children are a mere annoyance? I mean seriously? And God alleviates this situation for you how? By commanding you not kill your children? You're saying that's the only thing keeping you from killing anything that ends up annoying you? Are you daft?

No, because like I said I'm not an Atheist.

Why would you imagine an atheist would think like that?

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

Being an atheist does not exclude you from being a sadist or anything of the sort.
An all atheist world could easily form sudo-religious dogmatism, such as was found in Russia during Stalin.
It's almost human nature to form societies in which the strong of some form rule over the weak of some form.

What the world would benefit from is some type of secular humanism that all people could share.
A pipe dream at best.

Done.

Why?

 

[Thana]

Why?

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.

No. You're wrong. Atheists don't think that way. I can't imagine why anyone would.

Why do you imagine atheists think that way? It's your scenario.

Too right. And the only thing she sees an atheist is lacking is God. And so, keeping that in mind, the only conclusion one can really draw is that she feels this is how she would view the world if she didn't have God. It amazes me. Based on this I would have to say that for anyone like this God is absolutely necessary. We obviously can't deal with bunch of ultra-depressed sociopaths/psychopaths running around.

I say to take the God away...

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.

I have a very good understanding of this viewpoint in a different sense.
Mine would be towards starting, while yours is geared towards stopping.

Either way, it's a need that has to be fulfilled lest you hurt when it gets suppressed.
At least I was lucky, if you could even call it that, in suppressing from the beginning.
If I was in your position I doubt I could have ever stopped.

That's sad!

You needn't imagine how atheists think or feel because we're all different. We just lack belief in any gods.

If belief in God keeps you from feeling "bad" then you should continue to believe.

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.

No, it isn't reality as proven by millions of successful, happy, fulfilled atheists living across the globe.

 

[McBell]

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 for, everything that mattered really didn't matter at all. And then you get to realize that any love you felt was just a biological impulse to procreate, and the love you have for your kids is programmed into you so you don't kill them as infants because they annoy you.

No, I don't believe in that world.

Wait, Is that not the world you claim atheists live in?
If so, then yes, you do believe in that world.

How would you react to King Nebuchadnezzar's (Daniel 3:5) order to worship the gold image that he set up when the music played if you were living then? Would you explain to the King how ignorant he is to worship a golden image,, or would you keep silent and bow your knee and do as the King commanded you?

I'm just curious as to your reply.......

I don't know. I wasn't raised on that society.

Tyrants with the power to murder at will tend to get their way for a while.
