Why are there so many atheists on a Christian site?

I don't know why I post here.

Mere attachment I guess. I'm like a leech, once I become comfortable with a community I never leave.

I don't even really enjoy talking about atheism/Christianity very much. Most intellectual conversation bores me.

Ok thank you. Wow that is deep. Would love to know at what point did they come to this decision, was it upbringing or life in general.
Have you ever told a lie?

My conversion consisted of several factors, most important of which was the problem of theodicy.

And yes, I have told a lie.

Yea for me the world ended in 2012. But life kept going on. And it was like weird. The Earth didn't move. The Christians were still here. So I went insane, clearly the Christian Hijacked Mayan prediction was the rapture. But -- I don't know where to go with this it's too silly --

And yes, I've told a lie.

You could have fooled me....

Welp, there it is.

You see an "intellectual conversation" here?


There is a God.
No, there isn't.
Is too.
Is not.
Is too!
Is not, and you can't prove there is!
Is too, and you can't prove there isn't!
Is not, and you're just a gullible idiot who believes in a sky daddy!
Is too, and you're just an evil, selfish person!

And the beat goes on....

Seems like you don´t pay much attention to what´s actually being discussed and how. (Notwithstanding the fact that few people indeed try to derail every discussion to completely boring question whether a god exists or not.

New Living Translation. 2 Corinthians 4:4
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God

It always amazes me when someone accepts "god willed it"as an answer to how the universe came to be. How is that even an answer? Will carries one through action...it's not an action of itself. Nothing ever has nor ever will be willed to be.

Did Satan blind us because we don't believe or, is it that we don't believe because he blinded us? It's hard to tell with your post.

It's not that I don't understand the message. I get the gist of it just fine. Is just that I find it impossible and incompatible with reality and rooted in superstition and the fear of death. And I just honestly don't care about it at all. I don't care what Christians believe happens to people after they die, just like I don't care what Buddhists believe happens to people after they die. I believe my consciousness is wholly dependent on my physical body. When it dies, so will all my awareness, and that sucks, yeah... but... that's life, I guess.

Yes, it's Ray Comfort's routine.

I looked it up...hilarious...

Reminds me of a thread back in ethics and morality asking if you've ever told a lie or something like that.

I think I said "no".

Don't let these other guys discourage you Miss V...they're a bunch of wet blankets. I'll do your little Q&A....

I'm a liar!
