Why Is Atheism So Important?

What good will atheism do when it's only a temporary condition?
It offers no hope for those who claim to be its follower; as a matter of fact, it takes away hope from those who need to have hope. It's a wonder why we have so many suicides.
It'll never win against the Truth of God being that it's a lie from the very beginning knowing that no lie can win out against the Truth of God.
Those who claim to follow it refuse to support it giving the lame excuse that they don't have to support it. Why? Do they know deep in their hearts that it really is a lie? If that is so, why do they keep following it? Do they really hate God that much?
Atheism is for the dead and not the living. As Jesus said in Luke 20:38, "For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”
Understand, I'm seeking answers and not arguments.

i KNOW nothing i say here will change your mind, but you should at least have some understanding of those you oppose.
here are some answers

1) atheist's love life! it is precious, it is finite, and you only get one.
so embrace each moment of it, revel in the glory of living, share of yourself that others may also be happy and thrive.,. They will not give it away for the profit of others, usually those of privilege and authority by trading it against some un provable afterlife

2) the Faithful SEEM to hate life, (unless it is a fetus) doing all they can to transcend it, yearning for the death of all people and the destruction of the world. the "end of days" is sought as a great value, to be encouraged and embraced

3) Un believers do not require YOU to belive as they do. they may suggest you will be happier if you let go of these religious urges, but except for the desire to live in a world where they are not reviled, there is no point in trying to get others to believe as they do

4) The Faithful ( with the notable exception of the Hebrew faith) seem driven to get others to be "converted" YOu must be as we are or suffer eternal torment or possibly just non existence. Like The Borg, on star trek
You will be assimilated, you purpose will be to service US

5)

Those who claim to follow it refuse to support it giving the lame excuse that they don't have to support it

You are mistaken. if you ever listened to such persons ( links on request, and I know you will not want such) they will tell you of the mountains of human suffering caused by religion, rape warfare genocide slavery and every Human Cruelty is supported by religion, even if only for "special cases" the lose of the Finite Life as mentioned above, is a horrid waste in service to these abusive ways. So too, they offer more complete explanations as to the nature of the universe, every discovery revealing more of what you would call "creation"

6)

Do they really hate God that much?

NO! You cant hate a thing ii do not believe it exists. what do they hate? the cruelty of religious practice, the millions of lives wasted in service to spiritual authority

7) that the only truth yo know, is descended from Mesopotamian Empires of the early bronze age tell it clearly, Big Guy In charge is the thing!
the only thing! all must bow to Sargon or Lugalbanda or be crushed and damned! lets take that and make a religion of it. Great way to keep peasants in the field making the owners and ruler more wealthy

8) YOU ARE AN Atheist,,, at some level. do you believe that Thor is real? or Ammon Ra? or Mars or Kwan Yin? NO! you deny they even exist So do we?!you just have one more to go
not believing in your bronze age sky lord is to us no different than not believing in Set or Astarte.

I understand that no source of information no idea that does not come from a collection of books you cant even read, can be considered
you are un interested IN evidence. will ignore the very nauter of the world to support what you belive

science changes its views, depending on what can be observed
Faith ignores observation, so that belief can be preserved

Why is atheism Important?
because it resists the oppressions of the human race
because it stands against slavery
because life is precious and finite, and unique
because Bowing to Idols, even Invisible ones is a waste of the human mind and dignity

and because, as you state in the image above
ALL WILL OBEY or be destroyed

@SatyrService

1) atheist's love life! it is precious,

Do they know where life comes from? Do they know its purpose?

2) the Faithful SEEM to hate life,

On the contrary, we love life and have the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. You may not understand this now and I pray that you will some day soon: Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

3) Un believers do not require YOU to belive as they do.

Neither do we but we do share the Truth of God and pray for those we share it with that they believe also in the Truth of God. If what we believe does not line up with God's Word, then we must change it until it does line up with His Word.

4) The Faithful ( with the notable exception of the Hebrew faith) seem driven to get others to be "converted" YOu must be as we are or suffer eternal torment or possibly just non existence.

You may not understand this right now but we're not a religion. Salvation is the good news we share and God desires that none be lost but have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

You are mistaken. if you ever listened to such persons ( links on request, and I know you will not want such) they will tell you of the mountains of human suffering caused by religion

Man made religion offers no hope. They honor God with their lips but the hearts are far from Him. Read Matthew 23 and see what God has to say about this.

NO! You cant hate a thing ii do not believe it exists.

Like it or not, choosing not to believe in God is hating Him. This kind of hatred can apply to anyone, including you.

7) that the only truth yo know

The Truth I know comes from God and not anyone else.

8) YOU ARE AN Atheist,,, at some level.

That's what religious people called us being that we're not affiliated to any man made religion.

science changes its views, depending on what can be observed Faith ignores observation, so that belief can be preserved

Science points to God and not away from Him. He's its Author and ordained it to benefit mankind.

Understand this if not anything else: Man made religion is not a relationship with God who desires to restore relationships between Him and us and between each other.

@GodSpeed63 volly!

Do they know where life comes from? Do they know its purpose?

well yes, we do,, the clear evidence showing the path of life on earth for three billion years, is always expanding, with ever more detail. and No there are not Angel fossils.. more we can see out in apace the furnaces where the very elements are forged, the building blocks of life are every where. and givine teh wyas such things intereact life, will always arise undee3r the right conditions. some would say they have already, but there is yet no good evidence for extra-solar life
but you are asking what is the very first cause of all things.. very nice for philosophical discussion but of no practical application, unless you are building a religion

Do they know its purpose?

the purpose of Human life, is whatever we make of it.
for good or Ill it is US that give purpose, not a Sumerian Sky myth

On the contrary, we love life and have the hope of eternal life

Eternal life! what a horrific con job! "Do this and outlive the very stars and galaxies"
to the contrary you offer only death or eternal torment for those that do not follow you and your ideas. thhis seems a threat, and a most angry one

the study of Reality shows there is not eternal anything. what monstrous Hubris to assume WE are the pinnacle and cause of the entire universe.
and we and only we are to exist for eternity? this is the bait by which fools are reeled in to the collection plate, whether of money or some of form of power.
A hollow promise, and one that cannot be proved or shown,.
and quoting Jesus, is not evidence of anything other than someone somewhere says he said these things in a language 4-5 time removed from the originals
would you like a scholarly article on WHO wrote what parts of the Bible?
do say yes, and I will provide.

Man made religion offers no hope. They honor God with their lips but the hearts are far from Him. Read Matthew 23

were these books not made by men? on one hand you decry "Man Made Religion," I must assume you mean the various established religions, and that there is some NOT man made path instead? was not even Yeshwa ben Josef
יְהוֹשֻׁעַ A man? so if not YOU or HIM what is the Not man made religion you seem to suggest

Like it or not, choosing not to believe in God is hating Him.

how do you know ti is a HIM anyway? does god have a penis?
hate is an emotion, a feeling, not some force of nature, I do not HATE what does not exist. it seems like you are saying if you do not believe,, you are insulting and thus hating this being. it is like saying if you do not belive in Santa Claus, then YOU hate him and he will be very angry. there is no santa claus
outside of beloved fictions. i even LIKE some things i do not believe in. There are NO UNICORNS, but I like the idea.

The Truth I know comes from God and not anyone else

this suggests you are IN contact with this ostensible being . how does he speak to you?? and NO if you reject Man Made religion, then you cannot site the bible, as it too is Man Made
so how do YOU Know what god thinks, why are YOU so blessed. is on one else?
it would seem YOU ( a man) are Making a religion, with yourself at the top

Man made religion is not a relationship with God who desires to restore relationships between Him and us and between each other.

again, what religion is NOT man made
the bible is man made,, why dop you quote it

thanks for the polite discourse.
we certainly disagree,, but we are not enemies
