Question

Atheists Do Have Faith: Their Faith Is In Their Belief That There Is No ***.

Answer 1

Atheists can have faith but nothing to do with there are no sky friends **** and mystical beings.

Answer 2

Faith in science based ideas ..may not have the immortality factor ( which really. .what would be the point ? ) but is far more tangible than something handed down from ancient people that believed everything revolved around the earth. . Yeah no possibility of major mistakes there..

Answer 3

Atheists believe in their own "wisdom".
They just don't know that they don't know.

If one refers to himself/herself as Agnostic, this person acknowledges that he/she doesn't know. This is real wisdom.

If one refers to himself/herself as Atheist, this person claims that he/she KNOWS. This person doesn't know that he/she doesn't know.

Answer 4

Not true

When we examine the components of the word "atheism," we can see this distinction more clearly. The word is made up of "a-" and "-theism." Theism, we will all agree, is a belief in a *** or ****. The prefix "a-" can mean "not" (or "no") or "without." If it means "not," then we have as an atheist someone who is not a theist (i.e., someone who does not have a belief in a *** or ****). If it means "without," then an atheist is someone without theism, or without a belief in ***.

Answer 5

Wrong. I've never understood this irrational insistence by many religious folks that Atheism is in some way a parallel to their chosen religious beliefs. It seems to be a manifestation of their insecurities on the subject.

Answer 6

Christians believe in ***, & this *** exists & has always existed. He is perfect & all-powerful, & atheists believe in their ***, themselves, who are finite & full of flaws (just like the rest of us). Atheists, IMO, are some of the most arrogant people on the face of the earth, & they have produced THE most horrific mass murderers the world has ever seen, particularly under the guise of communism (their favorite political system, it seems). They are NOT "enlightened"; in fact, quite the opposite.

Man has 3 main means for perceiving their environment: empiricism, faith & rationalism. Since atheists have determined that they have no faith, that would mean they are less likely to have a holistic basis for perceiving the world around them. They cannot see things that the majority of their fellow humans see, but instead of searching for the answer to this conundrum, they begin a futile attempt to elevate themselves above the "ordinary masses" whom they believe to be "delusional", just as a bully whose feelings of inferiority cause him to lash out at the weaker people around him. A free thinker would actually see this lack of perception as a challenge to overcome, not as something to cover up & then try to bully those who ARE truly "enlightened".

Answer 7

Atheists are in fact believes ... believers in themselves and their own mental abilities. they are, in a sense, their own **** since that is where their highest trust resides. Not belittling them, just stating the obvious.

Answer 8

Not true at all.

When we examine the components of the word "atheism," we can see this distinction more clearly. The word is made up of "a-" and "-theism." Theism, we will all agree, is a belief in a *** or ****. The prefix "a-" can mean "not" (or "no") or "without." If it means "not," then we have as an atheist someone who is not a theist (i.e., someone who does not have a belief in a *** or ****). If it means "without," then an atheist is someone without theism, or without a belief in ***.

You know absolutely nothing about Atheists at all. They worship nothing, science is not a *** either. You obviously are so narrow minded that you cannot think outside of the religious box you are shackled by.

Answer 9

You know, I was with you until the second paragraph. There you lost me, or I should say I lost any interest in continuing a discussion with you. Why? You can't seem to carry on a civil conversation without being obnoxious in your replies. You remind me of another woman who called herself Tiger Lily. Hmmmm.

TY for the civil cut and paste first paragraph. After that, well ...

Answer 10

Tell me genius. How did Matter and Energy 'evolve' from NOTHING?

Answer 11

There is no evidence of creation at all. There is solid evidence of the Big Bang.

It is christians who belief that something came from nothing. You ****** your mythical and fictional ***, who suddenly appeared out of no where, created the entire universe by magic out of absolutely nothing.

Scientist never said that at all.

Answer 12

How did your *** create the universe from NOTHING.........

Answer 13

He'll get back to you on that about the same time as *** gets back to give him answers

Answer 14

lol, it looks like you both have a "faith-based" belief. Imagine, an anti-theist & Christian agreeing on something! It's like early Christmas for 2015....

Answer 15

Hmmm ..I guess *** got tired of hovering in space and then made a whole bunch of the same stuff impossible distances apart . Oh except earth ..which he sends a giant rock into every few thousand years to wipe out all his mistakes. . Oh yes and there's a devil too.. he usually has more control over **** stuff but *** is afraid of him and won't do anything about it. .so he takes revenge on the devil's victims instead. . Oh yeah and *** knows everything too.. oh except how to create beings that take him seriously. .

Answer 16

*** just said the word & it happened. When was the last time you did that?

Oh, & btw, *** DID "create beings that take him seriously". They are called Christians & True Jews.

Your ignorance of the Bible, ***, the universe & why humans were placed on earth is superseded by your arrogance & smugness, neither of which are attributes that an intelligent, truth-seeking, well-mannered person of character & integrity would wish to emulate. Pity that, because all humans have so much potential if they would only look to their Creator for the perfect plan that was designed specifically for each individual. A life is a terrible thing to waste.....

Answer 17

Wow ..you sound like you were there when it all happened..so you must know what you're talking about. I'm sure you can understand how I was a bit confused.. Before I knew you were there at the beginning of creation ..i thought you might be hallucinating on LSD. Sorry my mistake

Answer 18

That's fine. I'm used to it. ;-) Oh, & thank you sincerely for the intelligent, well-measured, creative response to my post. It means a lot to me (warms my heart) to see anti-theists utilizing thought-provoking, critical thinking skills & good manners when discussing matters for which they know absolutely nothing. Hoorah! ;-)

Answer 19

We believe in our *** who is & has always been, who is perfect & all-powerful, & atheists believe in their ***, themselves, who are finite & full of flaws (just like the rest of us). Atheists, IMO, are some of the most arrogant people on the face of the earth, they have produced THE most horrific mass murderers the world has ever seen.

A free thinker would actually see this lack of perception as a challenge to overcome, not as something to cover up & then try to bully those who ARE truly "enlightened".

Answer 20

The evidence? Creation itself. Matter and Energy cannot 'evolve' from NOTHING.

Answer 21

You have to have more faith for their view then a religious one.

Answer 22

yep, it is impossible. Which is evidence that *** isn't mythical or fictional.

Answer 23

That's an odd use of terms. I'm not sure we'd agree on all of their definitions in this context. Are you trying to be cute?

"there is no ***"" is a positive claim.
"I don't believe in your ***" is a statement of a position.

"there are no UFOs" is a positive claim.
"I don't think those UFO stories are true" is a statement of a position.

Answer 24

Answer 25

As a former Atheist (now spiritual likened to Native Americans belief in the Great Spirit. I am in no way religious), I can tell you that it does not require any kind of faith to reject the existence of ***. It is a position taken from logic and rational thought. Atheists do not believe in miracles which is the basis of religious dogma. Atheists do not hate that which doesn't exist. What they do object to is religion being forced upon them in public places in the form of displays, symbols, etc., when public places are paid for by ALL people regardless of their world view.

Answer 26

The argument that because a religious symbol is out in "public", religion is being "forced on you", is just ludicrous.

Answer 27

This doesn't make sense.

Answer 28

many do believe in ***...they just hate him.

Answer 29

It is impossible to hate any mythical or fictional creature. The ignorance of your statement is not only narrow minded it has no basis in logic or rational thought.

Answer 30

Then why are you protesting so ****?

Answer 31

we do not have faith that no *** exists. we have a lack of evidence of a *** existing and therefore dont believe in a ***.

Answer 32

Atheism is defined as a lack of belief in a *** or ****. Faith has absolutely nothing to do with it. It doesn't take faith to follow the facts.

Answer 33

You see, you have just proven my post. You have 'faith' in your belief that there is no ***. You cannot 'prove' that there is no ***. I see His Creation and I believe that there IS a ***. Because matter and energy CANNOT be created from NOTHING......

Answer 34

No, you're trying to equate an atheist's lack of belief in a deity or deities to your own unreasonable belief in the existence of an imaginary super-being. I don't have to prove or disprove your *** because I didn't make the claim that he exists; but you do because you did. All I have to do is wait for psuedo-Christians like you to provide factual, tangible, testable, repeatable evidence that your obviously-imaginary *** really exists, then, if that event ever occurs I can alter my fact-based views to fit the proved facts. If nothing can be created from nothing, then that caveat also applies to your chosen ***. What materials did he use to create everything? Please don't hypocritically try to tell me that your chosen deity isn't held to the same restrictions as humans.

Answer 36

I don't believe in "****".

Answer 37

It believes in you, & is waiting for you. ;-)

Answer 38

He's got me blocked (he could not adequately rebut my ********** in other discussions about ***), but I would like to say to him that, "It does take faith to consciously ignore the facts....faith that the atheist believes himself to be right when all evidence presented to him tells another tale."

Anti-theists are typically, IMO, arrogant & self-aggrandizing. They seem to think that they are "enlightened" because they cannot perceive things that the masses do. They do not realize that faith, like empiricism & rationalism, is one of the three basic ways that humans perceive their environment. Atheists use only 2/3 of their capacity to perceive the environment around them, which makes them actually less "enlightened", not more, than the majority of the world's population. I think it's tragic & sad.

Answer 39

They only believe in belief.

Answer 40

Now where have I heard this before ??? Oh yes..from a lot of exact replicas just like you. ..amazing some primitive men jot down a rule book thiusands of years ago..and it still works on anyone that doesn't possess the IQ to be an individual with a personal thought process even today
