LOL!---Though you do have a point, I do not see where atheism has brought about unity of hearts in all those who believe there is no God.
1. atheism is not the claim or belief that "there is no god". atheism is a single position on the claim "there IS a god". And that position is: "I see no reason to accept that claim as true" - which does not mean that one accepts the opposite claim.
2. as atheism makes no claims, there is nothing in atheism to agree or disagree about.
Anytime you get 2 people together, you will have a differing of opinion.
Except here, the subject matter is not "opinion". It is rather "what is reality?".
Reality isn't a matter of "opinion".
This isn't "I like blue" and "I prefer red".
This is about what is true / accurate and what isn't. Which is a matter of fact and evidence, not a matter of preferences or opinions.
Even in the closest of relationships, there will be disagreements. We may disagree on the meaning of words, on differing doctrines, on time lines, and so forth, but as atheists believe there is no God and do not agree on much anything else
Again, while believing or claiming "there is no god" is obviously compatible with atheism, it isn't inherent to it.
Most atheists are agnostic atheists.
-----we all believe there is a God, that He loves us so much He sent His Son to die for us and save us from our sins, that we will be with God and His Son for Eternity after death, that this world will be made new one day and that the bible is His word.
Yet you can not agree what that word is all about. Eventhough you're all reading the same book. This reflects upon your god-model as well. If you can't agree about the lore, then that disagreement inevitably reflects on this god as well.
Remember, some of you (you = christians) are saying things like "if you believe evolution, you will go to hell" - and that includes
christians who don't have issues with modern biology. Like the Pope.
Which all in all---is still a lot to be in agreement about.
Actually, not really.
God did not create synchronized robots. We do not ask that anyone believe us--we ask that you read His word.
I did read his supposed word and I didn't see any difference (in terms of believability) in comparision with any other religious book out there.
You folks are also reading his supposed word and even among you, you cannot agree on what it says. What makes you think that when I would read it, I would understand it like you do? Not even christians understand it like you do, apparantly.
Again, I think you might first want to agree among yourselves what it says, before any of you ask us to agree with you.
The messengers may be less than perfect, that does not make the message wrong.
What message? The one you christians can't even agree on?
That's the thing, isn't it....
If even bible believers can't agree on what the texts are saying, what do you
really expect from an atheist reading those books?
