Ask an Atheist

[spaghetti]

Hello, I joined this forum to answer any questions theists have towards atheists. I think the main problem between the two groups is misconceptions, so I am here to answer any questions you have about what I believe, why I believe it, and so forth.

No, I am not a troll, I am simply here to provide an opposing view. So fire away; I will answer any questions you have to the best of my ability.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong category...I didn't know which to put it in).

Ak an Atheist

Hello, I joined this forum to answer any questions theists have towards atheists. I think the main problem between the two groups is misconceptions.

Its not a matter of misconceptions, its a matter of truth vs falsehood. You're not likely to succeed in advancing the atheist cause here because most of us have had much experience in being blessed by God.

I suggest you check out the "Dear Atheist" thread in the GetSavedNow forum. That will give you a heads up on our views.

Why do you assume we have questions about atheists and atheism? You came to a Christian community to share your non-sense?

I have a question for you. Can you dispute any of the prophecies fulfilled?

Here, pick any one you want.

Evidence & Bible Prophecy - Talk Jesus | Christian Forums & Chat

As usual, every atheist that came here to disrespect our community left without being able to dispute any fulfilled prophecy. I ask each and every one of them the same question.

A second question, can you dispute our witnessed miracles?

No. So I suggest you humble yourself "spaghetti" and do something a little more fruitful with your time. You're not wise until you've surrendered to Jesus Christ.

I actually do have a question for atheists: why are you so ignorant?

Do you care to elaborate more on the premise that most of you have had much experience in being blessed by God? Specific examples?

I now all about the theory of Christianity, and honestly the logic doesn't appeal to me (which is why I came on here...to see what specific evidence makes you believe). So please, give me examples/proof of what makes you believe.

Christianity is not a "theory". Atheism is an ignorant attitude and lifestyle. Evolution is a "theory".

If you wish to be part of our community, respect it and respect us. Refrain from comments like calling Christianity "theory". Don't say things behind your monitor that you would not say in person to the same people.

Save yourself some grief by doing a little research first instead of believing whatever thrash the world threw at you. GOD is real, Jesus is real and that's the Truth. Its not a "theory".

I didn't come here to disrespect your community (care to re-read my initial post?).

As for the questions you asked, I will address them one at a time. For the prophecies, I believe that you read the bible with a confirmation bias, looking for answers and making something out of nothing. Link me to a specific prophecy if you want me to refute them.

Your second question was a very general statement, so give me a specific miracle you are referring to, and then I can go about disputing them.

And for your last question, I assume since you do not have nearly enough information to make the claim that I am ignorant, I am assuming you are claiming all atheists are ignorant.

Since Abraham Lincoln did not give himself to the bible, was he ignorant?

Ok, I was unaware of how easily you are offended. I am sorry if I offended any of you in any way, I never meant to. And please, will you give your own evidence as to why God and Jesus are real?

What do spaghetti and fruit have in common?

One has many twists, the other has a sweet Savior! :tongue-animated:

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." -Abraham Lincoln

Did you get that from a kid's blog who made up a quote?

How about some genuine Lincoln quotes?

That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or any denomination of Christians in particular.
--July 31, 1846 Handbill Replying to Charges of Infidelity

In their enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows.
--August 17, 1858 Speech at Lewistown, Illinois

The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong.
--September 1862 Meditation on the Divine Will


If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the North as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God.
--April 4, 1864 Letter to Albert Hodges


To read in the Bible, as the word of God himself, that "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread," and to preach therefrom that, "In the sweat of other mans faces shalt thou eat bread," to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity.
--May 30, 1864 Letter to George Ide and Others

I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations; and to no one of them, more than to yourself.
--September 4, 1864 Letter to Eliza Gurney


All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.
--September 7, 1864 Reply to Loyal Colored People of Baltimore upon Presentation of a Bible


Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.
--March 4, 1865 Inaugural Address

I now all about the theory of Christianity, and honestly the logic doesn't appeal to me

The purpose of logic is to distinguish what is coherent from incoherent. Whether it is appealing or unappealing is a non-issue.

My question is, what makes life meaningful for you?

 

[Lion_of_Judah]

An atheist is one who believes they are a god unto themselves.


They profess what they know, and profess what they do not know..


That is..
They declair there is no God,.. therefore, they are god.. because they know
all there is to know on the subject of God, and have concluded.. there is no God.


Hence, they are a god unto themselves.
