Atheists, would you try to convince a religious person that there wasn't a God for the hell of it?

Like for no reason at all, you just do it.
Atheists could try, but it wouldn’t work. I believe in God and will always believe in God because of personal experience. Just wouldn’t work.

I'm in the camp of letting people believe what they want...you know live and let live. 🤷‍♀️

@Peaceful Good, and completely opposed to Paul McCartney's approach of:

"What does it matter to ya,
When you got a job to do you got to do it well,
You got to give the other fella hell"

I'm an agnostic but if people get comfort from whatever religion they believe in I'm all for that.

No, I'm not a jerk. And I have better things to do.

lol, matters of "faith" are rarely overturned by logic. Think of all the theology and Divinity schools churning out PhD ministers.....one would assume they at least had a smattering of science in their educational history.

I think what becomes the biggest influence in rejecting a faith or religion is a person experiencing the sheer hypocrisy of his leaders and actually studying the Bible critically and discovering how it is littered with thousands of contradictions.

As my granddad likes to say, "Lily, you don't need to throw any stones at a person who already has his pockets full of them while treading in deep water."

@lily88mercy well yes, but I also know there was stuff that people didn't want to get into the bible. What's in it was chosen by random people, not God.

I'm an agnostic, so these aren't really that bothering, as questions. What is, is. What is not, is not. It's not up to me.
Billybob2 · 26-30, M
@ZonkeyBalls I respect that.
ZonkeyBalls · 46-50, M
@Billybob2 Cheers.

Nope. I'd put forward the arguments in hope of young people not making that mistake. People already set on God needn't convert.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
I'd put arguments in favour of young people thinking, something you don't appear to gave managed to do yet! @PrivatePeeks

Absolutely not. Religious people say Atheists are close minded. Well, Vicey Versy.
Ask a Religious person, "Would you be open to the idea that God does not Exist"?

Voltaire was a deist. He believed in God as a first cause but not in a personal God. @Abrienda
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@Speedyman I know that thank you. I just didn't see the need to state the obvious.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Yes but there are those who think Voltaire was an atheist which is not quite true. @Abrienda
Speedyman · 70-79, M
If someone is stupid enough to be an atheist then it would have to take someone equally stupid to believe them
Speedyman · 70-79, M
I'm sorry but you're the ignorant fool as you ignore the obvious . Statement like you make absolutely pathetic based on total ignorance . Instead of calling other people fools why don't you try stop being such a fool yourself?@PrivatePeeks
Speedyman · 70-79, M
@SW-User The fact that the universe with all its fine tuning and design has the hallmarks of having been created . The problem is I do not believe in magic and I do not believe nothing created something like an atheist does
PrivatePeeks · 26-30, F
The design argument is stupid. Things fall within ranges, and if the range is occasionally beneficial to (e.g.) life forming this doesn't mean that there's a magical and intelligent being with super-strong wishing power.

I'm tired of your stupid ignoring of facts just so you can live in your fantasy world.
