I Could Be An Atheist At The Drop Of A Hat

[Jimmy]

I've stated no such thing, so false statements.


Yet you never demonstrate any knowledge. So why would anyone take your word for an outrageious belief?

You’re free to only know what a science book tells ya.

I know things in life. I know how I got here and where I’m going. I’d be perfectly fine accepting that I didn’t know anything if that were the case. I could easily be an atheist in a heartbeat. No skin off my ***.

…but it turns out I do know some things.

I can make my shoulder blades stick out of my back, making it look like I have wings.

Like you know you lack the reasoning skill to understand religious ideas are baseless and inconsistent with reality?

Like you lack the humility to question your own reasoning?

. I could easily be an atheist in a heartbeat.

So, you believe - are convinced that a supreme being exists?

I know a supreme being exists.

I know quite a few people that seemed to be strong Christians but walked away from it.

I can see how it would be easy to quit working on your faith and start forgetting about it.

 

[InChrist]

I thought that was obvious. To show that I roll with knowledge.

Or maybe you are easily tossed around by every wind of doctrine or any idea that comes along.

I know a supreme being exists.

So your answer is yes; then how about right now, while you are reading this, demonstrate your stated ability to become an atheist in a heartbeat, by engendering the belief that supreme beings do not exist. Now that you believe that they don't, how did you do it?

Apparently they weren’t.
FYI I’m not Christian. Not that you were referring to me though.

Nah. I’ve believed the same thing for the past 15 yrs. A couple of weeks ago I tried to fool myself into believing in Jesus but I knew all along it wasn’t true. I think I did it for the camaraderie on here like I have in the real world. Because in the real world, I present myself as a Christian because my beliefs would be considered weird. Haha. I’ve know for 15 years that the true “savior” is literally living on earth. It’s all good.

I’m all set

And hats can be dropped, yet you still aren't an atheist, are you? Why not?

Hats can be dropped. I pick up hats that were dropped all the time when I am out walking or riding my bu=ike.

I could be an atheist at the drop of a hat if there was no Baha'i Faith.
But in that case I might be an agnostic or a Buddhist, but never a Christian.
