If you don't believe in God why do you argue with one's who do

If you’re going to preach to others, you gotta expect a rebuttal.

Mmmm, partly because I think a world where people's beliefs are more grounded in reality tends to be a better world. Partly because back when I used to do that shit, I had some unresolved trauma around religion and arguing against it was very satisfying.

Thats why i love carazza and ladygrace like it makes them happy why be mean

I actually believe that some beliefs are pernicious and should be countered and opposed (and better alternatives offered)

Certain beliefs (for instance an [i]exclusive way[/i] that is the [i]only[/i] truth, and the belief in the eternal/perpetual conscious torment of any human being) I will continue to argue against.

I definitely make a distinction between people trying to find fellowship with other Christians and people saying "god is real and this is the proof!".
The former is just people seeking community. The latter is an invitation to debate.

I stay out of people's personal beliefs. It's not my place to question or insult. I've done my own reading, searching and thinking, so have others, so I respect that. I don't feel insulted when people tell me to go to church or pray, because I know to them, that helps and they're being kind.

I see no reason different religions can't get along. We're still people.

Because religious myths have done untold harm to the world and millions of its inhabitants, either by driving individuals or groups to extreme acts, or by preventing people from living their lives to their full potential.

Those of us who are acutely aware of the dangers feel a strong responsibility to try to limit the damage.

That’s why.

Depends on who you’re dealing with. There is one user here, for example, who made a claim that he has evidence of the one true god.
This god, is totally independent of any religion or cultural dogma. A creator god, that runs the universe and us.
When questioned on some basic details, he first became evasive. Demanding we take him at his word, which was according to him self evident. Then he became obnoxious and insulting.
I decided to continue pressing for this conclusive evidence, and am still chasing him through over a dozen such post.
I believe you’re entitled to believe what you do , but if you are going to preach, and treat others as ignorant, then you need to show the courage of your convictions.

It's always funny to me when I hear atheists or agnostics use the "oh my god" expression.

I don’t argue with theists, but not all of them respect atheists.

Because those people that you argue with are the ones who initially try and convince you that you are an amoral degenerate if you don't accept Christ as your Savior (and it is only Christians who are guilty of this).

I’ve said on many occasions, I’ve never shown up at anyone’s door suggesting what they should or shouldn’t believe.

I have, however had many turn up at [b]my[/b] door with religious doctrine. The existence of missionaries would indicate who generally wants to invade whose space on the subject of religion.

It’s a topic I don’t initiate because I [b]do[/b] respect differences.

Why do theists think that atheists need to be converted to their faith? Just turning your question the other way round.

When people shove it in my face. Try to convert me. Or say I'm going to hell for being a fag. Then there's a problem.

[i]Go forth.... to bless the many, to bring happiness to the many, out of compassion for the world; go forth for the welfare, the blessing, the happiness of all beings.........Go forth and spread the teaching that is beautiful in the beginning, beautiful in the middle and beautiful in the end.[/i]

The Buddha

If we find something fulfilling it is only natural to share it.

Maybe it is how we go about sharing it. Perhaps just being yourself.

🤷🏼‍♀️ Whatever floats your boat, but don’t go ramming mine or attempting boarding actions

Hey, if it works for you, knock yourself out.

God Schmod let's rumble!

I'm actually not an atheist myself.
People can follow any or no religion, my problem comes with someone tries to shove it down my throat or turn a country into theocracy.

You can't be called racist, anti-Semitic, "homophobic", Islamophobic,cetc. if you hate on certain believers
