For the atheists out there?

I quite agree with your laissez-faire attitude. i think some athiests have a "bees in their bonnets" and no real respect for others' beliefs. And they form quite a vociferous lobby in the USA at the moment.\n\nBut I think the boot is generally on the other foot. Even fairly secular states like the UK or Denmark are officially Christian, and in the Moslem world, forget it! If you don't pay lip-service to their belief structure you will have quite a few problems.

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.

Atheist like me don't believe in god for our own reasons. People who believe in god believe for their own reasons. There is no evidence to support or deny god.  Just believe in whatever you want and if  someone believes in something different just leave them alone.

My whole family is christian, but at the moment i consider myself atheist. No one knows about it because i know my family would most likely be upset with me or disapointed. But honestly, at the moment i'm trying to find myself and figure out what i want to do with the rest of my life.. I highly doubt i will stay an atheist forever.

Last night I went to a great agnostic and atheist websit with 20,000 articles, let me see if I can find it...\n\nOh, and d man, being agnostic is not so simple. I am one too, you should open your mind up slightly.

I am not an atheist, but I know some people who are. It seems to me that they reject the definition of God that has been given by the standard, traditional religions.  Perhaps a person will decide to proclaim herself to be an atheist because she feels that the modern English term "God" has been so corrupted by the ideas of closed-minded church people that the concept no longer contains any value. And I would just about have to agree with that. If I mention the idea of God as a universal life-force or as the interpersonal spirit of goodness and compassion to one of my atheist friends, they might agree with that, but still the name "God" has a disagreeable connotation to them.\nReligious language is full of metaphor. Some of the most simple, basic terms of religion are such large, sweeping, all-encompassing concepts that it takes many pages of erudition to even explain what we mean when we say the name "God".\nWhen you say "God", you are implying a whole big set of ideas. Atheists are often people who simply cannot agree with some of the ideas that they have heard being attached to that name.

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

You called?  ;-)  :-)    I am a spiritual atheist.   I am one who does not believe in "god" or "goddess" or in the divinity of Jesus, but I do still practice a form of spirituality that helps me with my life.  I like some of Jesus' teachings, I glean some wisdom from various religions and apply them to my life.  That is spirituality, in my personal definition.  \n\nSOME, not all, atheists ARE spiritual to various degrees.\n\nEDIT:  In re: confusio; don't worry, that happens.  We all learn something new everyday.  :-)

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.

This question was meant to be profound, but instead it's moot.  Atheist do not believe in miracles.

i am an atheist, and i have the same concept of time as you do. Also, i think the world will eventually be on average atheist, because science will do what it hasnt been able to do without a doubt yet, and that is to prove god doesnt exist, but there will always be people who do believe in a higher power

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

Dear Sen831,\n\nYou request personal experience or evidence... \n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nCan we believe the Bible? See http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/bible.htm\n\nFor scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm\n\nFor evidence for the historicity and truth of Jesus Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/jesus.htm\n\nCordially,\nJohn

I am sorry to not be able to offer better company. If it is of any relief, I did meet one guy a long time ago who was a true atheist. His belief was that mankind would be better off the sooner they realized that a higher power was neither existant nor necessary. I was intrigued to find someone of such a like and opinion. Although I do not agree, I did respect his thoughts and beliefs. Unfortunately, the rest of the class overheard and went off on him. I had to apologize for it was not my intention when I first asked. So, no, you're not alone.
