I don't care how much you dislike theists, when you resort to hate speech like this, it's just shameful.

What, almost as bad as being called ignorant, academically below average and prone to violence by theists because were atheists. Read through some of GreatTechs posts in this thread.

1) Atheists have different thought patterns: rarely does God enter their mind for the cause and effect of any event.
2) Atheists have different vocabularies: frequently they score a little above average on "standardized tests" but these tests frequently have little to do with Sacred, Spiritual, and religious texts. They are more concerned with knowledge rather than wisdom. They frequently take part in the "selling of the soul syndrome."
3) Atheists' mind's eyes are underdeveloped: they frequently cannot associate the Creation of something as magnificent as the Universe to anything but a human or an atom of hydrogen.
originally posted by Royal76 They lack faith, and the courage to believe in something bigger than themselves. It real easy to say I don't believe, its alot harder to have faith.

They are way to rapped up in themselves to believe in the possibility of a higher power...higher than themselves.

When I was an atheist I was a graduate student at the University of Chicago and I was arrogant and self-absorbed and wanted to conquer the world. I would give the smallest and most fleeting care for the diseased and less fortunate in the world.

Are atheist Presidents more likely to start nuclear war because they feel no Afterlife consequences

No, the cause of atheism is greed.

Can the USA or any other nation elect a President that is an atheist? I am afraid that if it did occur the consequences for the nation and the world would be dire.

I believe that atheism prevents us from being truly creative. How can we be truly creative and not believe in the One that created it all?
originally posted by GreatTech
Atheists show an under-appreciation for what they have. They show an over-appreciation for what others have. The cause of atheism is greed.

I think because they arent intellegent enough to have a spiritual side, or they think too highly of themselves
originally posted by RomanianDacianHun
Just basing it on most athiests, and I really dont care if you help the less fortunate, an athiest to me is either too stupid to phathom a spiritual side or think theyre too good for a religion. You can hug as many tress as you want and feed starving little kids, still wont change my mind.

This all makes me think of Ezekiel 25:17
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeange upon you.
The way I see that passage is the "poisoned" ones and those who attempt to "destroy my brothers" are athiests. I see myself as the righteous man who shephards the weak through the valley of darkness by opposing against them. I dont believe in spreading God because my belief is very unorthodox and those who choose not to awknowledge any religion should be at war with the believers. Kind of like being a new age crusader under my own banner.

mojo4sale, the claims you have made are unsupportable. Especially outrageous is that you think that I stated that atheists are subject to violence by theists. I pray for atheists each day and treat people equally.
Love and peace for theists and atheists!!!
originally posted by GreatTech The biggest threat to the existence of this world is atheism.
originally posted by GreatTech 3) Scientists tend to invent weapons to kill people, not spiritualists or people of religion.
originally posted by GreatTech The future that atheists see is so bleak and uninspiring that I do not see how any true leader can be an atheist

Our belief system is one of the major foundations for our actions. A stronger belief system frequently defeats a weaker belief system.
When your belief system is open to God, all things become possible in every possible human endeavor, from Spirituality to science to arts...
Communism is not an ideal form of government; it has been proven that citizens in communist nations live shorter lives than those that have more democratic governments.

here's something about scientists. in the USA only 7% of the members of the national academy of sciences believe in god
out of all the scientists in our country, only 40% believe in god..
how many nobel prize winning scientists have believed in god?

Until someone can connect to a source (knowledge) for verification this will remain allegations, contradictions and elements of unknown.
To call what I have said 'hate' is ridiculous. I don’t hate GreatTech or anyone else. I do however pity GreatTech, and view his/her responses as definite signs of mental instability (and I'm sure any mental health professional would agree with me), so I stand by what I've said, and if you think that a serious recommendation to seek mental health assistance amounts to an insult, well, it just shows that some people will never take any advice or council from anyone, I guess.

Are you kidding? you really think you can say diagnose someone with mental instability just because his view doesn't agree with yours?
What responses has he given that would make you think something like this?
I think your being outrageous.

List one or more reasons. I will list three:
1) Atheists have different thought patterns: rarely does God enter their mind for the cause and effect of any event.
2) Atheists have different vocabularies: frequently they score a little above average on "standardized tests" but these tests frequently have little to do with Sacred, Spiritual, and religious texts.
They are more concerned with knowledge rather than wisdom.
They frequently take part in the "selling of the soul syndrome."
3) Atheists' mind's eyes are underdeveloped: they frequently cannot associate the Creation of something as magnificent as the Universe to anything but a human or an atom of hydrogen.

Quite correct, people, my posts are not what you want. The last thing you want is someone who is prepared to speak the truth!
I was not attempting to insult anyone, merely pointing out that GreatTech's purpose here is NOT to be enlightened by any answer to his/her question, but rather to disseminate religious fundamentalist propaganda (and I don’t care whether it is Christian, Islamic, or any other kind of fundamentalism).
Literally, you might just as well be having such a 'discussion' with Osama Bin Laden, as all GreatTech is doing is preaching at everyone. To call it a discussion is a farce.

If that be the case with GreatTech, then I guess that also nullifies any belief they may have, because they will only listen to their own inner feelings.
Therefore it is ridiculous to continue any such 'discussion', as GreatTech is not in the business of listening. End of story.

It is very easy for atheists to say theists are mentally unstable, and vice versa. Labeling a person as mentally ill when he or she is not, is wrong.
Many atheists can see, but lack vision and I find it tragic.
As a former disbeliever myself, I led a godless life but later was resurrected by the Greatness of God.
