These atheist dont want to put faith into something. And they really should try.
Most Christians are nice people.
A few Atheist try to twist what Christians are for. A few atheist think Christians are about killing people, blah blah blah. Thats obviously not true.
They also dont understand God, and think God has to cater to everybody on the planet. Which he does not. This is why we have free-will. God is not killing anybody lol. People are killing each other.
Christians believe in morales. Doesnt mean they're automatically better than anybody. But focusing your attention to bettering yourself is a good thing.
Okay, as an atheist, I feel the need to make a few clarifications.
1. While some may grow up nonreligious, most don't, and often go through their own (typically private) path of deconversion. I wasn't even raised to be overtly religious, but it was a hard thing for me to go through. Try as I may, I simply couldn't believe that stuff.
2. I concur, most Christians are really nice people, as are most people in general. And do I (personally) think religious people are for killing people by nature? No, and neither would most. Often, the "killing people" criticism is more about the texts, not the people. Think of opposing a sin vs opposing a sinner!
3. God is often described as omnibenevolent, meaning he would have infinite capacity to love mankind, so he'd naturally always act in their best interests, right? Many, however, don't think a lot of things in the world correlate with this. And people in general believe in morals, through one rendition or another. Are they always exactly the same? Nope! Often, they can even be as much as warped in the public's view. But everyone's got their own code to go by.
Sorry if I was a bit too concise with this, as it's a complex topic that a lot of discussion can arise from. I tried my best, though!
1. Yeah I understand thats how it is for probaley most atheist these days.
N I dont know why it would be a hard thing. It shouldve been a good experience. Even though I know not everybody is gonna get a good experience.
Should be for most people though.
2. Thats good to know that you think that way. There are nice atheist too.
True most people arent for killing. But you definately have an atheist here or there who think Christians are evil or some shit
3. Morales are morales. I dont know how they can be different.
Christianity, Islam and Judaism are ALL against homosexuality. I think they all would be for some reason. If you think about it, there has to be SOME reason why all three of these religions would be against it.
4. N I understand that some atheist think that because of wars, God doesnt care. Because apparently the only way God can be good, is if he caters to everybody on earth and helps them. But like I said, he doesnt have to. In fact he has a good reason why he doesnt automatically help everybody.
Because if he did help everybody it would expose him. And he wants to remain a mystery. For another good reason.
Because if everybody knew God existed then everybody would believe in him, and some people would be fake and pretend to be good just so they could try to cheat into heaven, while still doing immorale things.
He wants people to put faith into him. Because if you're willing to believe in him, then it should be more likely that you're actually gonna follow what he says.
IIN to lose faith in God??
