Best play it safe if we're dealing with a super-force who can send you to the pits of hell for all eternity, eh?
True Atheists have absolutely no inclination to attack people who profess religious belief.
...who fully understand the power of God
Most of the time, these reasons center around that person's life choices. They have totally abandoned the God they very much believe in, so they can be unaccountable for their moral behaviors. As long as there is "no god" to judge them, they can do whatever they please and there are no consequences. It's important that we understand, any time someone is doing something immoral or wrong, they had rather have company. This provides a codependency, a way they can somehow justify their behavior to themselves.
If nothing else, it is 'therapeutic' for them to vent their anger and vitriol toward the God they know is real, and they are almost certain to meet up with others who are doing the same thing.
Your words not mine. Oh, and what about newly converted atheists? This is why I'm here. Just like someone who just found jesus, it's liberating and I want to share this new insight. Got a problem with that?
And I do see the harm in religion. You don't? Wake up.
And I too heard Neal Degrasse Tyson say he hasn't the time nor the energy to argue with religion. That's his polite way to say no matter how dumb people can believe whatever they want.
You think we fully understand the power of god even though we don't even believe god exists? So what you are saying is you believe the stories that a god is sitting, watching and caring what you do? But he didn't come down and start Christianity or the Muslim faith? All that is made up but the part about a god caring about you and sending you to hell is real? I love it how everyone who's religious has their own definition. Some say non christians will go to hell, some christians disagree. Some muslims think only they go to heaven, some disagree. Forget about what the Jews, mormons and jehovas believe.
Know what I believe? I don't believe any of them or you. I can't put my faith in your logic.
Yes this is like therapy. Once you realize man made up god you want to tell everyone. At least you don't think it's Satan making me do it. Or do you? Please clarify. Your opening comment suggests you believe in hell. What's up with that? Very hard to talk intelligently with someone who believes in fairy tales. You pretend not to be a christian but then talk about hell? Don't deny Jesus 3 times stupid!!! Better to be safe. Why don't you convert to all the religions. Devote your whole life to religion. Waste your time.
Now if you do good things with your time like feed the poor and cure the sick then cool, but that doesn't mean god is real. It just means a lie got you to be good. Just like Santa. He knows who's been naughty and who's been nice, ******* retards.
