What is wrong with those people who don't believe in God?

What is wrong with those people who does not post a straight forward answer and talk about something else altogether?

What is wrong with people that they can not figure out there own question is a loaded question. Then when provided with a loaded question in response are oblivious to the point?

*hint* Loaded question

What are you doing being an authority on religious forum? Maybe you got deep roots in religion.

Obviously. Just like my study of terrorism makes me a terrorist, and my interest in military strategy means I plan to invade Poland.

Incidentally, I did a thread a while ago which might be helpful for you;

Hmm ok good topic. What about sarcastic authorities, what do you think of them?

I'm fine with it, as long as they are not sarcastic or prejudicial when carrying out moderation. After all, they're just volunteers who've proven to have some level of calmness and stickability.

Nothing magical about them.

What's your opinion on posters who throw up an antagonistic OP, and fail to defend it or offer evidence, instead just returning to try and stir up respondants?

I've been variously told....
- I'm spiritually dead.
- I hate God.
- I'm controlled by Satan.

Religious folk can't even agree upon which faith is the correct one,
let alone why I'm a heathen. Not a lot of explanatory power there.

Your true identity.

- you were born pure, good and free from sin
- you are a noble and a highly intelligent Being
- you have a dual nature, a higher and a lower self. Your higher self leads you to do things that are good and your lower self obeys just the base instincts. How your life is played out depends upon which one you allow to dominate
- all choices are your own. You are not controlled except by your own decisions and will

The intelligent part is hotly disputed.

I knew some one would post this. We can make a topic about it and debate. :)

Probably same ol' same ol'. To tell you honestly, I can't think of anything wrong with people who don't believe in god. It seems like religious people are the only ones doing the big crimes and stuff. They all (over here) seem to believe in Christ (or so have you that arena). I never heard a Buddhist on the news constantly getting trouble for smoking something illegal and getting arrested just for that (supposedly, he says). I never heard a Hindu beat up his wife on Cops.

Usually, these people say "Of course, I believe in god."

Makes me wonder what's wrong with these people. :rolleyes:

You know the best way to get out of the argument is to avoid it. You should avoid it like you avoid rattle snakes and earthquakes.

Have you not herd about Indian rapes? Thailands population is 70 million (ish.) 90% is buddhist. How much crime do you think they have? and don't let me start talking about Indian scammers.

But this thing that you posted just makes me wanna go off!!! Indian rapes? have you not herd of that? Thailands population is 70 million (ish.) 90% is buddhist. How much crime do you think they have? and don't let me start talking about Indian scammers.

Coming from the U.S. population. The rest of the world have their own issues. But, yeah, I haven't heard any person did anything in in the name of The Buddha. The Buddha didn't teach violence. Muslim, Christian, can't think of other have hierarchy religions. Those of the ones in the US that mess everything up. From our laws to our interaction with people. Goes deeper.

Okay I read you. NATO countries came to middle east first. In 1917 (ish.) they came for oil and has been fighting wars there ever since. Violation breads violation.

Hey good book by the way...https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Colder_War.html?id=NXXCBwAAQBAJ

I have a question for you. If God tomorrow would reveal himself, would atheists actually believe? Would they still believe in him? Will atheists come up with all sorts of theories to explain what happened? Was it a hallucination, or some magic trick played by someone, or some other medical-scientific reasoning behind it?

I'd like to answer this. Many people believe in god now because they need a sense of home. Some need a sense of motivation and it gives them a feeling of peace and/or love, however defined. It tells them what they should do in their lives and it gives them guidance. So, there is a need for god. God can be described in many ways since he isn't revealed.

If god revealed himself, which god would that be? An atheist, like myself, would be puzzled. If I have not know of the Bible, how could I know it's the Allah who is quite different than god/Jesus? And what about the Pagan god(s). There are so many options of relevance that maybe an atheist is looking for what he perceives as god if revealed. However, god isn't like that. He doesn't work that way.

What you're asking does not make sense (nor does the question you replied to). There isn't such thing as "if god revealed himself." Let's switch the shoe. Since you believe in god (per your religious title), can you describe god in a way that is beyond what you feel, perceive, and experience yourself? I experience my mother's love and so have many children. If they were brought up by my mother, they probably would too, well, every once in a blue moon. It's not subjective.

Name a characteristic that is unique only to god to where if Allah or whomever revealed himself we would know that is god?

Even more so, name a characteristic that isn't of love (human emotion) or obedience (human motivation) that would define Allah as unique and worth worshiping?

Define worship and why would it be necessary to worship a god like Allah for us to know him personally? What's the purpose of worship? Be a friend. Live in Allah. Let Allah live in your. That's worship. That's relevance.

As long as Muslim, Christian, Jew describe god as a invisible deity, of course atheist would ask for clarification. Why wouldn't it be natural?
