You are an arrogant, rude, snotty little tool of your arrogant religion.  Nazis were not atheist.  I wholly believe that you would spew your snotty hatred in accordance with whatever status quo you happened to grow up in.  You would have been a loud and hateful Nazi, if you were only given the chance.  If you were a little more inquisitive, you could see above the BS you swim in, but you snort like a pig and wallow in it.  The evolutionist apemen look down on you from our trees, but your stink rises.

You are not athiest. You are anti God.  This country was founded on freedom of religion, and its assholes like you that are trying to take away that very freedom.  Tell you what,  don't think anywhere because you are an idiot.  If you truly don't believe in God, than it shouldn't matter who does.  Think on that one bitch.

Well first of all, you can't just convince/force people to convert. Thats not your call, you can tell them what being an atheist is like and let them choose themselves. And since my dad is a muslim, i've come to now that you can no longer convert to anything else if you're a muslim. it's a sin. so even if they'd convert they'd probably feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

What you seem to have missed is the greater point - you're not your own to begin with - He created you, all he asks now is that you recognize that by accepting him and worshipping him - it is not his desire that any should perish - but being good is not what he designed us to do - he designed us to worship - good deeds are results of our worship - not our means of worship.  You are in the midst of spiritual battle and I'm praying that God will give you spiritual rest and a mentor to lead you personally as opposed to this forum. As a parent I raised my son with certain values.  I have entrusted them to him.  It is now up to him to choose to use them.  If he doesn't then there are consequences he will suffer.  Does that take away his ability to choose for himself?  No.  It just means he didn't heed a more learned and wiser, experienced person.  It is a poor analogy, but it was the best I could come up with.

Actually, I believe that I am a borderline Atheist only because my mother has tried so hard to push God onto me that I fear I am not believing in Him, only to make her mad. Instead of letting me find God on my own, she keeps pushing me to go to church with her and stuff. So, that is why I said I believe that I am borderline Atheist.

Non religious to Christianity: A friend took me to church with her and I liked it for a time.\n\nChristianity to Agnostic: People of the church were disappointing.  They judged a lot more than "enlightened".  I was considered a trouble maker for asking questions.  I found that any place that tries to hide answers has a reason to do so, and that's never really a good thing when they're taking your money.\n\nAgnostic to Atheism:  Over time, I just felt that the concept of God was not logical and not for me.  I prayed so hard for many weeks for him to allow me to believe in him.  I was miserable for a time after realize he didn't exist, but I began living for myself and being truthful to myself and I just became happier than I ever have been.\n\nThis entire process was over the course of ten years.

Well said, and thank you. You might have a point. I'd like to think that one doesn't have to have no faith, to have manners, intellect, and a sense of humor. But If you've ever noticed someone who is deeply religious, they are always trying to convert you, or convince you otherwise. Whereas I've never tried to push my belief on anyone. In fact, If it wasn't for people, mostly coworkers, trying to ask for donations, or just asking me questions about my faith, they would never know that I'm not a religious person. But based on that one principal, now they keep there distance...Goddamn hypocrites!!

Okay, you are an athiest. Thats your belief and you have a right to it.\nReligion is not garbage, its misinterpretation of one which makes it stink. Giving up something before trying to understand is way of the escapist.\nTeach your children the good things you know. Let them be free to chose their own path.\nYou met some athiests and they were good people. Whoever said atheists are bad people? and who says that people of faith are bad? Just a few of the exceptions don;t make the rule. And if you think that all the people who believe in religion are bad then, seriously, I doubt that you will be able to do justice to your role as a father.

Atheist.  Converting to the others would be like going from the frying pan into the fire.

Im pretty sure an athiest would convert to Christianity before believing in that. If you were truly saved all that time, you would know the truth.\n\n**EDIT***\nI am certainly not at all saying that you were not saved during that time (I have no right to decide that)- I just meant that since you were saved all that time-you know the truth if you have kept your spiritual conncetion with God.

I'm an atheist, but I never try to force my beliefs on anyone because I now how mad and frusterated I get when people tell me that I'm wrong and try to convert me...everyone should have thier own beliefs.

Okay Cool man. Now tell me who bring you to this world either you by yourself thought of coming in this world and you selected your parents.No So you dont. and you will not die until God wishes even though you try your best. Finally each breath you are taking are you breathing of your own No. So every thing happens with the help and by Gods permission. If He says stop then it stop.

I was actually excited when I first read a write-up on this in Newsweek a little over a year ago. It finally made me make sense. In my huge, very intellegent and entirely atheistic family I always felt that I had some sort of horrible disease that made me believe in a god. I tried to reason with myself and I tried to change myself- all those things that you hear homosexuals say about grappling with the way they are, but it wasn't a logical thing. It wasn't something I could kill with reason. The only other person in my family who believes in any kind of god was my grandmother. The possibility that I suffer from a recessive gene is the only way my "stupidity" makes sense to me.

I am an atheist and yes, quite a few people have started thinking differently because of my conversation.  You need to know though that to bring someone out of being brainwashed takes in the very least, months, if not a few years.  What I talk about are how we are told something since birth, of course we're going to believe it.....then compare that to them being born somewhere else on the planet...IE: If you were born in Turkey you'd be muslim (example).  Then I talk about how it is impossibly for anyone to know (because it is) however that is usually an agnostic stand.....atheists are just pissed off agnostics.  lol.  I will give them books to read and help them understand that they dont' necessarily have to believe what they've been told and to seek out other beliefs and religions even.  The intelligent ones come around, the ones that live in denial never do......Simple mathematics, it will take a few hundred years to overcome what those in power use to keep themselves in power...... plain and simple.  be well, jack
