Normally, people become atheists for four major reasons. Judaism, with its whole “chosen people” shtick, appears to be racist, if you’re worried about such things.Eastern religions seem to make more sense because if they posit a deity at all—some would say Buddhism is Still, atheism seems to require blind faith in the idea that the universe just occurred at random, that everything suddenly decided to belch forth from the void. This was one out of perhaps a billion spermatozoa that was the capacity of the father.
In fact, many agnostics (like myself) were raised religious, and still consider themselves culturally religious.
I was raised in a fundamentalist Southern Baptist family in the Bible Belt, and while I started questioning at an early age, I also tried to do as all good Southern girls do and toe the line. Did he always exist, or was there some power back of that?
All the cruelty and error and ignorance of the period has no relation to religion.The truth is that the origin of what we call civilization is not due to religion but to skepticism. All the civilization of any period is put down as a result of religion. Lost and seeking, she arrived at university and was initially shocked to meet an atheist for the first time. One cannot believe in a force excepting as a force that pervades matter and is not an individual entity. Not one scrap of evidence exists to prove any such impossible thing.Many Christians base the belief of a soul and God upon the Bible. It defies every principle of morality, as man conceives morality. Still at Lourdes today, and all over the present world, from New York to Los Angeles and up and down the lands, people believe in miraculous occurrences, and even in the return of the dead. Another person whose life had been left vastly happier and more positive by conversion… to atheism.Under the circumstances, I felt it seemed quite fair to say that neither of these experiences could have been the work of God… which answered a key question for me. Without skepticism and doubt, none of these things could have been given to the world.The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. To say that the universe was here last year, or millions of years ago, does not explain its origin. It all began about nine years ago when I was a delivery truck. The problem is still there. This resource introduces Atheist objections to Christians, which many have never dealt with them. One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. Many asses have spoken, and doubtless some in Hebrew, but they have not been that breed of asses. As to the question of the origin of things, man can only wonder and doubt and guess.As to the existence of the soul, all people may either believe or disbelieve. I would keep on actively searching for new arguments or evidence – but, in the absence of same, agnosticism seemed by far the most fair and sensible conclusion to draw on the matter. They believe in old miracles and new ones. And Islam, with its eternally touchy and pissed-off God, is likewise nonsensical. This way of looking at things is correct! It is perfectly plain that the author thought that the earth was the center of the universe and stood still in the heavens, and that the sun either went around it or was pulled across its path each day, and that the stopping of the sun would lengthen the day. And thus, with a sense of considerable relief at having resolved this, I became an agnostic.
To recap something I wrote in the [T]here was still one category of evidence that… well, that still wasn’t conclusive, but that did seem to have more to it than the various ineffective arguments I was reading. That last sentence is the basis of scientific discovery, and why science at it’s core has no bias. Since that time, men have studied the human body, have built hospitals and treated illness in a scientific way.
Everyone knows that this story simply is not true, and not many even pretend to believe the childish fable.What of the tale of Balaam's ass speaking to him, probably in Hebrew? I would say that belief in at least three tenets is necessary to the faith of a Christian: a belief in God, a belief in immortality, and a belief in a supernatural book.
6:30. Something had obviously led her to that decision; would her reasons be any help to me in my own?No, as it turned out. To believe that is not God-worship; it is devil-worship.Can anyone call this scheme of creation and damnation moral?
You don’t need to worry that you are being pigeonholed because you are unsure, it’s pretty simple. People have bias, of course. Why I Became An Atheist is an important read, especially for Christians.
I’m a British GP (the England bit of Britain) and mother of two children. I thought over all the reading I’d been doing. While the logical part of my mind was analysing the matter, the part that went along unthinkingly with what I was told had accepted God as unquestioningly as it had accepted other beliefs.
