BF2S Forums Why do people become Atheists?

HUNDaemon wrote:

I dont belive in religion for many reasons:

1. Too much thought that wont actually get anywhere

2. Too much complications that'll create disputes over something ridiculous (like this forum)

3. Religion is like imaginary friends for adults

4. Religion is for weak people who can't accept that there's NOTHING after we die

5. Because Religion (mainly the 'God' ones) killed millions of people in the past over crusades

6. Because churches collect money. Why? Definatly not for God! For themselves! Because they're greedy assholes

7. Because H-core religious people are blind to reality and destroy anything that proves that something invisible in every sense is ACTUALLY not there.

8. Because if God exists, he's on vacation and has been for hella long time.

9. Because he doesn't actually exist.

Wtf is that bullshit. May I ask. Scientists have already said, that somebody gave a hand to make the evolution begin. It is impossible for it to begin on its own.

what scientist said that? the pope?

life CAN begin on its own, scientist's just arn't 100% sure how it happened.
Parasite Rex is a good book on this subject, although it mostly is about parasites there's a good chapter about how life was made scientifically.

and besides, the only HAND that could've helped out was planetary conditions and placement and the sun's quality.
if the planet has the right gravity, right chemical compounds in the atmosphere, the right temperature and the right amount of sunlight and warmth, life will exist.
certain chemical bonds attract some molecules that were randomly created along with the planet and eventually, the right molecules and maybe a powerful source of heat turns it into a protein molecule.  after a certain amount of protein combine together, other molecules start attaching themselves and the substance becomes a quazi living being.  kind of like living goo except microscopic.
they can only do simple things like reproduce and absorb food and eventually some of these proteins evolved into more specialized bacteria that can feed off of the other quazi living beings.

okay maybe im not that convincing but i'm bad at explaining things. just look up parasite rex at ur local library and find the chapter or section or w/e about how life started.

I only know a few athiests, but most of the people I talk to who don't believe in God are antitheists who actively seek out and attempt to discredit or silence anything that refers to the higher power.

That's what Atheism is. Any sort of acknowledgement of the possibility of there being a God or higher power is Agnosticism.

Atheism is the belief there is no God. antitheism is the active effort to discredit God. Here is the difference. If you don't belive in God why waste time eliminating something that doesn't exist? Antitheists spend time attacking the messengers (believers) instead of seeking proof that their atheistic doctrine is fact.

If I will burn in hell for not believing in god, lets go! Heaven is for boring people who like to talk to god, pray, water pot plants, etc. while hell will rock on!

Dude, watering plants owns! It's something hitmen do.

Exactly, if the suns composition wasnt exact down to the 0.0000000000000000001%, it would either fail to turn into a sun or explode right away. But we wouldn't be there to care about it.

The science we know today is maybe only 10% of the science, that really is. Like we do not even know everything about the atom. Who knows what the smallets part is. Like what are quarkes made of and after that. What about blackholes. And do not start about the bullshit about us knowning how big the universe is. We do not know shit. Hell even our own mathsystem is fucked up in some areas.

Basing your argument on the 'Da Vanci' code is fucking retarted, considering it is fiction. Let me guess... You're a Scientologist?

Here's a fun fact: If you are religious you have to believe that all other religions and theories are wrong, or you wouldn't be religious.

Or am I too tired to think rational right now?

For the sake of argument, if one were to base their opinion on 'The Da Vinci Code', it would only serve to 'disprove' accepted religious form, but not God.

I was born Christian, a Baptist at that.. and I don't necessarily believe all other religions and theories are wrong. I'm a Christian Buddhist in certain ways, if that makes any sense.

True. Dogma can be scary, people need to try to form some of their own opinions, rather then blindly accepting others. (That goes for religous folks, and athiests alike.)

This dude says the Church he went to said the 'N' word, which I find highly doubtful, unless he went to one of those Aryan churches... Then he says 'So we're all West Virginian' implying that the nice people from WV are inbred... What a fucking hypocrite.
