Dear athiests and "scientists" [Spirituality & Religion]

You guys are really annoying, Not only do you guys just bash on everything that your peers haven't written, you are so quick to say "oh that doesn't exist it can't happen" as opposed to what a real scientist would do, and inquire. NOTHING shall be said no to, even if current stuff doesn't show, as no one knows this world 100% to say such a thing. Quite foolish to keep spouting the "oh that's not real" crap when you're not even going to take a look at it, instead rely on the stuff people in the past wrote.

Most of the atheists and so-called scientists here are usually spouting about things they have little or no knowledge of whatsoever and are often quoting things from idiotic atheist websites. They are also often as fundamentalist in their views as any religious fundamentalist who accepts things without thinking about them. They also tend to be intellectually as narrowminded as they accuse other people of being . Quite sad really

You got that right, brother. One thing though, there are no such people that are atheists or a cult known as atheism. As long as they're alive, they'll believe in some type of god and have faith. The only atheists are the skeptics lying 6 feet under their headstones. They are not only narrow-minded but the only things they know how to do in a debate is ridicule, mock, act worse than a jackass or spoiled brat, and refuse to support their claims afterwards. You're right, it is quite sad.

@Speedyman as far as I concerned you’re committing a bit of a straw man argument. I am an atheist. I have never claimed to be a scientist. I like discussing and learning about science but again I have never claimed to be a scientist. I’m also an exchristian. I find usually I know the Bible better than most Christians. And there have been many times I’ve had respectful debates with people who disagree with me.

@GodSpeed63 I am an atheist and a exchristian. I have never ridiculed, mocked or ascted like a jackass in a debate. I’m sorry that’s been your experience. But I’m happy to debate you in a respectful way all you like just to prove you wrong.

I respect your honesty. Why do you say that you were Christian at one time. Can you explain that?

Speedyman · 70-79, M

What straw man? A straw man is one that doesn't exist. Look at the posts you will find plenty who doubt their opinions but haven't a clue of what they are talking about. You obviously thnk you do, but assuming because you don't believe that the historicity of the faith is wrong doesn't prove anything. @Bandit2398

@GodSpeed63
Sure, I used to be a very devout Christian about 18 years ago and for a short time I was even a Mormon. Now I’m an atheist.

What do you mean by devout Christian, if I may ask? What religion were you before you became a Mormon?

Bandit2398 · 51-55, M

I mean whenever the church doors were open me my wife (now ex wife) and kids were there because I made them go. I didn’t curse. I wouldn’t let my step son listen to music with cursing and violence. I picked my wife because I prayed a lot and married the woman I thought god wanted me too. I read the Bible a lot and prayed a lot and did my best to follow a god that I don’t believe exists anymore.
I was a Christian then I converted to Mormonism for about 6 months then I went back to a Protestant Christian and now I’m an atheist thinking I was so stupid for dedicating my life to a lie. I think I was basically brainwashed just like any good cult member.

@Bandit2398 Have you ever received Christ as your personal Lord and Savior or did you just go to church to be a good person? You see, I grew up in the Catholic church and was scare to death of God because I didn't know Him on a personal basis. Later on, I married my first wife and went to a Baptist church. Still didn't know God. I also went to a Mormon church and a Jesus Only Church but still didn't know God. After my divorce from my first wife back in '85, I was living back home with my folks when I met Jesus through other brothers in Christ, and asked Him into my heart and life. He's been there ever since.

I can't tell whether you are brainwashed but I know either I wasn't and that I investigated carefully the truth behind Christianity and realised it was true. Please don't involve us all on your own experience brainwashing. Some of us have actually thought things through. @Bandit2398

I was answering a question that was asked of me. @Speedyman
