Quote by UnderDarkLord
No caring god would allow so many babies to die before living a full and happy
life, there would be suffering still, but only to build character and make
humans enjoy the life they live all the more. As such I refuse to believe that
God cares, or maybe he/she/they just don't have any power.
Nice. You got a point there...
Why would God not help those who need Him?
It's kinda like a story I heard. It happened during world war 2. A small platoon
of soldiers were going through a wreck of a village. They saw that it was
severely affected by the war, but they wondered why the villagers were still
able to smile and survive in such harsh environment. As they came to end of the
road, they saw a stone crucifix, with the sides of the cross torn off. They saw
an armless Jesus in the middle. What they saw written under the crucifix
explained everything about the village. Someone wrote, "Jesus' hands isn't
here, because they've been attach to yours..." The villagers survived only
by fending for each other...
So, I guess the only way God can help people is if people let Him work through
them. I hope you liked the story, took me a long time to recall it right...

I will like to state, first of all, that I am an atheist. A non-believer of
divine entities.
A heretic.
Now, my concept of the Divine Providence:
He justs sits somewhere, looking at his creation.
Observing.
But doing nothing else.
Whatever happens with his creation is not his
problem.
Heretic is such a strong word...
Atheists aren't necessarily heretics...Right?

Okay, after checking it out in Wikipedia, maybe you are a heretic... But that
isn't necessarily a bad thing. I, for one, tend to question some of the
doctrines and teachings of major religions... So you are perfectly normal, as
far as these things go... At least you're not blasphemous...
Quote by zegesbar79The main reason
religious people scorn athiests (many times downright hatred and hostility) is
because really, why are there religions? To feed the desire we all naturally
have for immortality. And for one to question what [their] faith is placed in to
achieve that immortal life, and to do it with reason and a good argument,
threatens their entire way of life. So you see, it's really quite primitive.
They assume you're trying to ruin their way of life, and so they are quick to
strike the first blow and alienate you, driving you away.
The religion the most hostile towards unbelievers is Christianity. Wouldn't you
think they'd be trying to win "lost souls", not drive them
away?
I was once a devout Christian, I should know. When I started to question what I
was being taught, instead of counseling me or helping me find anwsers to my
questions, they (Protestants, Catholics, etc.) all immediately wrote me off as
being under the influence of Satan and declared me a heathen. Many former
friends now truly hate me, for simply asking a few
questions!
So in turn, you hated said religion back, when in fact, you hated the
narrowmindedness that fanatics show towards religion. Is this right?
Well, we shouldn't mind them, fanatics that they are... But... why leave the God
that you believed in because of people like them... Did the answers you found
led you to believe that there is no God? Or is it you simply stopped asking
questions about it?
Think about it. Why not start asking questions again?

Well, I don't know about the rules concerning wallpapers much, I never tried to
upload one here... but, since you said it wasn't offensive or anything, maybe
they thought it resembled one that already existed here... Well, something like
that, as I've said, I'm not particular about the rules...
Woah, man...
