Title: Why I'm an Atheist
Post by: AirrickAnthony on February 01, 2009, 12:58:04 AM
I recently posted a video on my youtube page talking about why I'm an Atheist and why Christianity doesn't make sense. Here's a link the the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rima23_dsd8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rima23_dsd8) Watch it and let me know what you think. Whether you agree or disagree, let me know you're opinions.

Well said.  I've often made the same arguments, especially the one about making damned sure you do everything in your power to avoid hell--because if you really believe that place is real, why would you take any chances?  The thing that disappoints me the most about believers is that they credit god for everything good, but blame people (specifically people who don't agree with their narrow world view) for all the bad stuff.  For example, they talk about god hearing their prayers for the safe return of a child or the remission of cancer, but don't consider for a second that god may have had something to do with the missing kid or the appearance of the cancer in the first place.  They deny their fellow human beings the credit they deserve for making their "miracles" possible--the volunteers and law enforcement officials that worked around the clock, the doctors and researchers that made medical treatment a success.  That saddens me.  

(On a totally unrelated note:  is that a Borg smiley?  Wicked!   :borg: )

"Deep down, no Christian truly believes in God." I like that. There aren't really any Christians that truly follow all of the teachings and rules of the Bible. If there were, he or she would be arrested for murder almost immediately.

I spoke to a theist a few days ago.  I basically told him that if he really believed that God was watching him and cared for him, he should quit his job.  That effectively ended the argument.
