An Atheist’s View On Life I will live my life according to these beliefs God does not exist It is just foolish to think That there is a God with a cosmic plan That an all-powerful God brings purpose to the pain and suffering in the world It’s a comforting thought however Is only wishful...thinking People can do as they please without eternal consequences The idea that I am deserving of Hell Because of sin Is a lie meant to make me a slave to those in power The more you have the happier you will be Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose In a world with no God There is freedom to be who I want to be But with God Everything is fine It is ridiculous to think I am lost and in need of saving Versus A Christian’s View On Life (Now…read from bottom to top to see a different view.) I am lost and in need of saving It is ridiculous to think Everything is fine But with God There is freedom to be who I want to be In a world with no God Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose The more you have the happier you will be Is a lie meant to make me a slave to those in power Because of sin I am deserving of Hell The idea that People can do as they please without eternal consequences Is only wishful thinking Is a comforting thought, however That an all-powerful God brings purpose to the pain and suffering in the world That there is a God with a cosmic plan It is just foolish to think God does not exist I will live my life according to these beliefs ~ Author Unknown

...I found the original poster very ignorant about atheist and agnostic positions.
...The insinuation is that atheists or agnostics simply don't want to believe in this God - as if He was proven to them, but they choose to ignore this emotion because they are somehow cold-hearted individuals. ...
Benjamin Netanyahu (The Prime Minister of Israel) is an Atheist Jew. Explain to me how one can call himself this? The two words are contrary to each other. My version is Benjamin is a Satanic Jew.
I, for example, consider myself a Christian Atheist. I reject the Christian version of God.

I'm not claiming to be a Christian. I'm claiming to reject my Christian background and the Christian God, specifically. I don't reject the idea of a God altogether, but my God is NOT anything like the Christian God. I don't believe in that God, my attitude toward the Christian God is one of non-belief. I don't believe in the Christian God.

No I don't think I did. I have an atheist attitude toward the Christian God, specifically, ie. Christian atheist. I was raised as a Christian, in a Christian environment and culture, and it's the belief system that I grew up with that I reject, specifically. I don't believe in the Christian god.
See? I'm not claiming to be a Christian and an atheist too. But, I also don't claim to be completely atheist. I do believe in a god, but one that is absolutely unlike the Christian god.

My example was an answer to the question of how one could be an atheist Jew.
