A Question for Athiests.

[Servant_Of_The_Lord_Jesus]

Just curious But if athiest don't believe theres a God why do they try to convince others that there isn't and why do they dislike those who do so much? If theres no God couldn't they just sit back and relax and not care? Just curious? How some people hate so much a message that says that God loves them so much he gave his most precious possesion for them that He would rather die then be without them. Just wonderin?

Firstly I would like to point out that this is not quite the right forum for this and I would advise you to find a moderator to have this topic moved.

But just to give a quick answer to your question, here are some reasons which various atheists I know claim:

1) Christian beliefs harm people psychologically. For instance many christians beliefs teach that all masturbation is wrong and sinful. While most atheists agree that one can be addicted to masturbation, not everyone is and a certain amount of masturbation is healthy and needed for a regular male. By helping people overcome christian beliefs, they can drop the negatives like this view.

2) Christians are trying to alter society with legislations such as one against stem-cell research. Atheists might have lineages full of dementia and if the Christians succede, they would be causing serious harm against their loved ones for no good reason.

3) Atheists genuinly do not believe in a God, and thus feel that when a Christian goes to church, he is wasting his time worshiping someone that does not exist. They might feel that if they help convince a Chrisitan of the truth, then they can help him stop wasting large portions of his time worshiping air and ensure that he does not made desisions based on the writings of bronze and iron age sheppards (what an atheist consideres the bible to be)



Again, this is a simplified answer to some reasons some atheits have, and if you would like more details about any of them either pm me for a private chat, or get this topic moved into the appropriate forum so we can discuss it in more detail.

I am posting this answer to help you understand we don't hate you.

This is a post from another site. It is the best explanation of our position.

Imagine that I have an adult friend. Once you get to know her, you realize something. She believes in Leprechauns. She believes in them with all her heart.

• She believes that she can talk to the Leprechauns by speaking silently to them in her head, or by speaking to them outloud with her hands folded.
• She believes that by talking to the Leprechauns, they will grant her wishes.
• She also believes that the Leprechauns will help her heal diseases.
  If she loses something, she calls to the Leprechauns who live in her house to help her find it.
• She says she has a personal relationship with the Leprechauns, and they guide her in many parts of her life.
• She wears a shamrock necklace.
• Every Sunday she has a special ceremony to thank the Leprechauns for everything that they do in her life.
• She believes that the Leprechauns created the universe. She says, "No one can deny that the Leprechauns created the universe, and no one can prove that they did not."
• When she gets married, she wants a Leprechaun priest to do the ceremony.
• When she dies, she believes that he will join the Leprechauns in a magical castle in the sky and live forever.

Now, what do you think of my friend? Her beliefs are harmless, are they not? By speaking out loud to the Leprechauns living invisibly in her house, she feels less lonely and happier.

And yet... there is something creepy about it, isn't there? Yes there is. It is creepy because you know that my friend is completely and totally delusional. She has lost her ability to distinguish the imaginary from the real.

Would you want my friend holding a position of responsibility in our society? For example, would you want my friend to be in a position where she can launch nuclear weapons at foreign countries? Probably not.

Would it be appropriate to talk to my friend and try to help her? Would it be appropriate to heal this delusion?

Once you answer these questions honestly, you will be able to understand what is going on with "WhyWontGodHealAmputees.com." There is no difference between God and the Leprechauns. God is completely imaginary, and we can help you to understand this.


My personal reason for speaking out against religion has to do with religion trying to shape the world according to their morals. When you try to inflict morals based on a book, you need proof that the book is correct.

There is simply no proof that the bible is god's word. The bible promotes slavery, rape, incest, bigotry and murder, these are not morals I care to have.
