After reading some of the posts on this forum, I thought it odd that so many atheists come out of their way to come here to attempt to discredit Christ.

If I were an atheist, I wouldn't care. Nothing like this would matter.

I mean, why would I care about what someone else believes?

In fact, some of them can get downright rude about it. But for some reason, atheists feel they have the right to do it.

Could it be they are searching for the truth?

Or maybe they see the truth, but they're fighting to submit to the one true God?

For all the atheists who lurk here, what do you say?

Part of the atheist doctrine is that there are no consequences. So an atheist will be prone to do whatever makes them feel good even at the cost of others.

My take is the atheists who visit the Religion and Spirituality forum aren't satisfied with mere non-belief, they don't want believers to believe either.

Absolutely. No consequences to anything with that belief. So who cares what happens to anyone as long as you don't end up in jail or punished here on earth, right?

Jesus is the only thing that keeps all of this in check.

Perhaps, they just want you to take some responsibility for your own thoughts, deeds and actions?

I'm not an atheist but I can play one on a message board.

Atheists do not feel the need to discredit Christ. They are however, appalled that supposedly-educated people in the 21st century can believe that Genesis is true and a Daddy-God is totally into slapping non-believers into an eternal fire.

Atheists fight ignorance and intolerance - both of which flourish in this section of CD.

And, as I scan the posts above mine (aside from Jerwade's) that ignorance is on full display.

That's not ignorance, it's reality. Atheism is the belief that there are no consequences in the afterlife, as you merely cease to exist.

This is awfully empowering because if you become very powerful on earth, you can do whatever you want without consequence.

You will realize this as automation eventually makes 99% of the human population unemployable. Then you will see the REAL atheists rise to power.

Their version of righteousness will differ significantly from yours. Christianity provides a foundation for righteousness. Humanity has proven time and time again, that it is clearly not righteous in accordance to the teachings of Christ.

I'm moving this thread from the Christianity (where the existence of God and Jesus is assumed) to the main Religion and Spirituality forum where this type of discussion is more appropriate.

Nonsense. Your view of humanity is limited.

Go read the FAQ in the Sticky thread in the Atheism & Agnosticism sub-forum. I did NOT write it. Several of the member collaborated on it and ask us (the moderators) to post it for them.

There is no such thing as an Atheist doctrine. Ask them.

Atheism, by definition, has nothing to do with consequences. The term means exactly one thing: No belief in any God. Anything further is beyond the scope of Atheism.
