This is Why Your God Will Condemn You Atheist Bashers to Hell

First of all im an atheist, so if God exists Im pretty sure ill end up in some unpleasant place, on the other hand, living under the rule of God with the morals he is capable of, I would consider this just as bad... and remember that this is also for eternity. So my hope is that God doesn't exist and I can rest in peace when the time comes, as again neither of the solutions seems good to me :)

My point was that in light of the bible and God, there doesn't seem to be any especial reason to believe that theists bashing unbelievers or those of other religions, is something that concerns God. Looking at the passages, God have no issue condemning people to death for simply believing differently, so why would he be concerned about those simply bashing atheists?

And as an atheist, I find God immoral, hateful, childish and a monster. Which is neither good, all knowing or all powerful... Which clearly demonstrate to me that he is man made and not a God as believers claim he is. He is simply to incompetent to be a God, if he is said to have such characteristics.

Hi again my friend... :)
It is too bad you believe that the Bible God is an accurate representation of God. :(
What a mess the Bible made of the one true God... I doubt God is happy about that... :eek:

As bad as the Bible has been mistranslated and interpreted the essential message remains: Having morality is important. Just like man, the Bible has many imperfections.

However, I don't like it when people blindly idolize scripture without any consideration that it may not have been accurately represented or to be taken out of the historical context in which it was written.

I think God is ecstatic with humanity. Billions of people express greatness of character and performance every day. When you focus mainly on the negative you become blind to the positive.

God is ecstatic with some but not all of humanity. I think it is the evil people who commit heinous murders and such acts that God is not ecstatic with, but God had no problem with atheists who live moral lives.

Um... good Christians should want to help reclaim atheists.

There's a slippery slope, though.
I'm okay (honestly) with any Christian trying to save me. At times it can be 'nice' even.

Often times it's not much to do with me though. It's easy to tell the difference, really. They're either arguing against 'cardboard cutout atheism' or we're having a conversation.

A conversation requires both speaking and listening, and I wouldnt describe such Christians as 'atheist bashers'.
Indeed, it's as likely that I'll give them something to think about as the other way. I respect people who look to converse with those different to themselves, whatever the sphere.

Are you referring to me? If so, why are you lying about my beliefs by calling me an "atheist"?

'Now I don't believe in your god, but if I did --- I sure as certain would not be bashing atheists -- and perhaps just about everyone else --'

Disbelief equals atheist

Of course you could share your info, but no like I said sad

Disbelief in one particular god does not equal atheism. Quit misrepresenting what I said or I will report you to the mods.

You didn't specify any God in your OP, and everyone reading it would just see 'I don't believe in your God'

But you could always clear the matter up by saying which God you do believe in

Interesting response. I agree loving your enemies is important.

However, I am uneasy by the doormat Christian concept. My belief structure does not enjoin me to receive incoming abuse with a smile.

I have the right from a social concept of decent behavior to point out boorishness, and to say adios and use my ignore list.

Loving your enemies isn't about be treated badly and just sit back. We actively try to correct the evil doers. We show them the path of God and we pray for them that they see the light. We are not punchbags. That's what I understand from the message of love. If we love, we can help others love too. The Orthodox Christians try to spread the message of love to be part of everyone's life. someone who refuses to accept love, we don't abandon them but we try our best to help them. We try to cure evilness.

Hello Trailblazer :)

Just to clarify, I don't think that the bible accurately represent the one true God, but merely a god. Also remember that the bible is suppose to be inspired by God so he could have done a better job making sure it was written down more clearly :)

An open letter to atheist bashers.​

Dear Atheist Basher,

Let's get real. If there is a god, and if that god is (as you atheist bashers seem to believe) personally interested in your morals and values, then what possible grounds do you have to assume even for a nanosecond that god is going to want to spend eternity next to someone as hateful as you?

I mean, you not only figuratively froth at the mouth with hatred when bashing atheists, you so very often lie about atheists when you bash atheists. What are the odds your god is going to want you and your kind by their side?

If I was you, and I believed in the personal god you believe in, I would first beg that god to forgive me for being a hateful person, and then I would spend the rest of my life trying to appreciate and understand this world, their creation, rather than spend even one more minute condemning it.

I'm not BSing you: That is exactly what I would do if I believed in your god but had spent as many years as you have bashing atheists -- atheists and only your god knows how many other people and groups of people.

Oh by the way, if I believed in your god, I would expect to spend eternity in hell right alongside people who bash theists like you bash atheists. So, you might want to get to like theist bashers. Seems to me you're going to be spending a whole lot of time with them if you are right about your god. But it should not be too hard for you to get to like theist bashers. After all, you have so much in common with them.

Now I don't believe in your god, but if I did --- I sure as certain would not be bashing atheists -- and perhaps just about everyone else -- while expecting a pleasant reward for being hateful and (most often) deceptive.

Sincerely.

You atheists want to kick God's beloved Son Jesus Christ to the curb after what he did to save people? And then you mock believers? Then you deserve what you get - which is to be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8).

I find it very hard to understand how some members of this forum can believe in the idea of a lake of fire.

Deists, panentheists, pantheists...plenty of belief structures that aren't atheism and involve higher powers who couldn't give a rat's cracker about atheism or atheists...or theism.
