kristy, \nI would first like to say that yes i am a Christian, that has found her resting place after a long journey.\nsecondly, youre one of my favorite people on this site. (I even wrote about you in one of my questions recently.) I find your answers and thoughts to be very intellectually sound. i see you as a complex and dynamic personality.  unlike so many absolute angry nuts on this sight. claiming to be a Christian isnt the final sale for me, and i just cringe when people try to represent with/by anger, finger pointing, stereotyping and judging.  Like Heathen calling? whats up with that? \nI have learned in my short time on this site, that is truly filled with those just dancing to the beat of their own drum, i enjoy the diversity, and have learned quite a bit. Trust me ide love nothing more than to share this love i feel, and what works for me, but its just not always appropriate, or respectful and when being defensive further opens your heart up to negativity about others, why would you take that stand, not caring if your hurting, offending or disrespecting others is truly evil.\n\nSmashingdon, i just have the urge to say that in my snootiest brittish accent, Smashingdon darling, i think you could honestly have a point.\n\nand biogeek..im a fan., just know theres a pregnant lady out there some where that thinks your the the coolest geek ever. (ide love to play cupid for you and Kristy, shes cute huh?) wink wink.\n\nand thanks for not letting me be the last answer. :-)

Dude, you're back!!!  I have the same problem, but he is much more forceful about it.  I just argued as an atheist and basically told him his views were bullsh*t.  He got so pissed off that he took the rest of the day off and was granted a transfer to another shift.  The rest of us had a party!  Other than that, bring in your own boom-box and jam it louder.

Why are you only addressing Atheists in this question?  Don't you think it might be more appropriate to ask everyone?

I'll let previous typing do all the talking. I will poke my head in now and then. Rest assured.

My best friend is an atheist. He doesn't claim to be spiritual. Actually, I have never met an atheiist who claimed to be spiritual.

I respect all your faiths. Just not the hypocrisy (using religion as an excuse to commit atrocities). And I do not believe in deities.\n\nYou can be both a satanist and an atheist at the same time.\n\nAnd if you really wanted to contact me this bad, you could have just sent me an email. Thanks.\n\nP.S. I AM, actually, tolerant and open for dialogue.

Cool, I can learn another perspective on life and spirituality.  I think it is always a good thing to be open to at least listening to others ideas and ways of life.  It doesn't mean I have to change or believe their ways and beliefs are right or wrong, maybe just different than mine. And whether I agree with their beliefs or not is no excuse for me to be a rude neighbor.

I answer atheist questions because I have been called thisso many times, simply because I am not Christian.\n\nI don't know everything, but I know I place my thinking further than limiting it to a bible. Which by the way, is fictional. Which is also written in part by mentally ill people who were considered saints by men-not by God.\n\nMy mind is open and can be changed, my mind is not closed to all things other than the bible. I do believe in God, but am considered atheist since I am not christian. This is where they are wrong.

Normally I would just post a link to the previous answer, but I want to be sure that you read this, so I'm going to cut and paste my answer from a previous post that I made:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Ah9yXNiCcb0dEXnmauCUf58jzKIX?qid=1006021512780\n\nThe question was: Why do so many athiests, agnostics, pagans, and other assorted scoffers show up on the religion thread?\n\nHere is the answer I gave:I know that I have written several responses to this question. However, I now have too many answers to sort through and find the ones I'm thinking of. (New features needed!)\n\nSo, I'll start from scratch.\n\nFirst of all, I resent being lumped in with "assorted scoffers." I believe that I have been nothing but curteous to the people of faith here. I openly deny their belief-system. They openly deny mine. That's fine. We have, however, engaged in some very respectful debate, much to the benefit (I hope) of both sides. I know that my beliefs have not changed, but my preconceptions about young-Earth Christians have been shattered by some of the people I have found here. I think that they are wrong, but I am thrilled to have the opportunity to debate with them without resorting to name-calling or rudeness.\n\nGranted, this requires an openness on both our parts. I think that their faith is "wrong." They think that my lack of faith is "wrong." This is where most people get hung up and debate can go no further. If someone disagreeing with you is "offensive," you're stuck. Once you accept this disagreement, you are quite free to exchange ideas. This is what I have found here (for the most part.)\n\nAs for why I spend so much time in the religion and spirituality forum, I see faith as playing a huge role in the lives of everyone in the world, be they moderate Muslims, fundamentalist Christians, Pagans, or Atheists like myself.\n\nIn my supposedly free country I see gays discriminated against due to faith. People who would never think of using the N-word openly hate and criticize homosexuals for what they are, not who they are. \n\nI see medical advances that could help millions of people stymied by arguments that have their basis in faith. Stem cell research could potentially ease the suffering of billions around the globe, but people of faith stand in the way.\n\nWe are currently involved in what may or may not be a holy war. This is an issue of faith.\n\nOur current government supports "faith-based initiatives" in what may be a breach of The Constitution itself.\n\nI know that faith helps people sleep at night. This doesn't undo the tremendous amount of suffering it has inflicted at every turn of history. \n\nI see faith as a problem, and would like to encourage people to put aside their myths and embrace reason. However, I realize that this is futile. As Jonathan Swift said, "It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into."\n\nThat said, I think that Yahoo Answers provides a wonderful opportunity to try to see where other people are coming from. I disagree with the Christians (and Muslims and Pagans...), but I think it is very important for me to try to understand them. I would hope that they will try to understand me. Once we find some common ground and some mutual respect, we can truly start to talk about things.\n\nI hate the name-calling. The largest problem I have with religion is that it is divisive. I feel that this is the most important aspect of faith that needs to be removed from the equation. Name-calling is also divisive and does not fit into my attempts to act reasonably.\n\nI feel that I deny, but do not scoff. I embrace and enjoy open debate. I think that the things discussed here are important. I'd like to think that some of the things I have to say are pertinent. \n\nIf you want a place for only Christians (for example) to exchange ideas, there are plenty of places on the web for th

Very well said.  I am already a Christian, but I just had to see what the Atheists would say (and disprove them).  Keep up the good work.

Hard to accept? Nonsense. I'm a believer with quite a few atheist friends. I believe; they don't. Simple as that.

What sin, may I ask, does one commit by being an atheist?  I ask because I am an atheist and I feel that my position doesn't harm anyone (beside myself, I suppose), and that I came to this position based on a rational choice, not out of hatred or denial.\n\nI would hope that if there was an all-knowing, loving God, he would understand why I am in the position I am in--it made the most sense, rationally, to me--and judge accordingly.
