Sometimes, I see people who claim to be Atheist, but are they really?
I'm not referring to you two post #1 & #2, but are some of these "atheists" really just skeptics? -

I believe that atheists are wiser. At least, they know their reasonings behind their thinkings. Not like christians, just say it is for a good purpose when they can't answer qns posed to them.

if you are refering to "agnostic", its different. they do not rule out the existence of god, but believe that they won't get the real answer so are not interested to find out more.Originally posted by boariggy:Sometimes, I see people who claim to be Atheist, but are they really?

im more towards this stereotype. i think im busy enough with the things in front of me, more than a notion of god that probably isn't true in the first place. -
Atheists like me is just more than skeptics. We just explore and reason why there is not possible reason for god to exist logically, blind faith for us is out of the question.

Some of them think they are atheists when they are really just anti-Christian.Originally posted by boariggy:Sometimes, I see people who claim to be Atheist, but are they really?

I am really atheist if u define atheist as someone who do not believe in the existence of god. Well, if you say i am anti-christian, it is also very true. Nothing makes me more happy than to expose the facade of Christianity.Originally posted by SumOne:Some of them think they are atheists when they are really just anti-Christian. -
Yes, i agree.Originally posted by SumOne:Some of them think they are atheists when they are really just anti-Christian. -
If u are true atheist, u would have attacked other god-believing faiths as well.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:I am really atheist if u define atheist as someone who do not believe in the existence of god.

I will and I start by attacking Christianity first cos they are too cocky and they oso attack religions.Originally posted by Raptured:If u are true atheist, u would have attacked other god-believing faiths as well. -
I only react with generalised rhetorics if any member of any religion could not keep his or her mouth shut about wrongness atheism. Karl Marx is correct to state that religion is the opiate of society.Originally posted by Raptured:If u are true atheist, u would have attacked other god-believing faiths as well. -
He won't dare to attack Buddhists one, cuz Buddhist Monks all know Ru Lai Shen Zhang (”@—ˆ�_�¶).Originally posted by Raptured:If u are true atheist, u would have attacked other god-believing faiths as well.
Christians only have bible. Even if use it to hit his head also not fatal enough. So Christians easy to bully. -

but karl marx was also wrong about communism......Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:I only react with generalised rhetorics if any member of any religion could not keep his or her mouth shut about wrongness atheism. Karl Marx is correct to state that religion is the opiate of society.
religion in general is flawed....it assumes in a constant which unfortunately cannot stand the test of time. for those that change and adapt, they become corrupt. those that refuse to change, they become critical and possibly bitter.
fredrick the great once said, "Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand." . how apt that is.
perhaps man in his void had fulfilled what voltair described, "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." -
I'm open to views and opinions ....

I posted it here not to inflame or insult, but to present my view of things, flamers intent on stroking their own egos I'm not interested.

I can only say that our human suffering was caused by Adam's sin in the very beginning. Ppl reject God so how do u suppose God to bless them? & even if one is a good man, we are still in this world filled with sin & evil & demons, so bound to be hurt or suffer. For eg, a drunkard speeding past a pedestrian crossing killing a good man - it's the drunkard's sin not the good man's.
Intellect cannot comprehend God fully. That's why bible says we must come to God by faith bcos only faith pleases God, not good works. Certain things are spiritually discerned not intellectually discerned. Questioning & doubting are good but when one's mind actually closed already to the gospel, one wont accept the truth no matter how & will find any reason to doubt & reject God. It's no longer doubting Thomas but ppl are skeptical for the sake of being skeptical & not wanting to know the truth.
