Top Ten Signs You're a Foolish Atheist
originally posted by Danielle Kekoa on the DBC Women's Fellowship Website
10. You vigorously deny the existence of God, yet you frequently blame Him for all the "evils" in the world, all the natural disasters, and everything else under the sun that is wrong in modern society.
9. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God, but you have no problem with the evolutionist claim that we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident.
8. You criticize fundamental Christians who believe the Bible, and say that it can't possibly be true because it's just a book written by mere men, yet you never question any of Darwin's writings or Richard Dawkins' books.
7. You can't seem to understand the primary differences between fundamental Muslims and fundamental Christians (hint: strap-on TNT. Plus - Muhammad says, “kill innocent people and yourself if you love me.” Jesus Christ said, “I’ll die for you because I love you”).
6. You say the Bible is full of fairytales and fables, yet you believe all life forms including plants, trees, insects, birds, fish, reptiles and mammals evolved from one species into another - As if evolution isnÂ’t the biggest fairytale of them all.
5. You laugh at the Supernatural, even though scientists have calculated the odds of life forming by natural processes to be estimated less than 1 chance in 10 to the 40,ooo power – But you find nothing wrong with believing that billions of years full of random mutations would result in the impossible.
4. You accuse fundamental Christians of being intolerant, judgmental and hateful, while you foam at the mouth calling them freaking lunatics, ignorant, weak-minded, stupid fundies, and hateful bigots.
3. You ignore scientific concepts like cause and effect, and you don't realize that a closed system can be defined however the observer wants, so you throw out technological phrases to try to ignore the implications of thermodynamics by saying the laws of physics are not set in stone.
2. While all evidence, logic and reasoning point to a Creator and absolute truth, you prefer to hide behind relativism and a theory of evolution which does not, in fact, describe the creation of the universe at all, or why concepts of good and evil or morality exist.
1. Atheism fails to adequately explain the existence of eternal, unchanging truths, for it rejects the existence of an eternal unchanging mind. Atheism cannot offer man any eternal significance whatsoever. Temporary meaning in life is insufficient, for our accomplishments die with the death of the universe -- there is no ultimate purpose in a universe void of God. -
Creationist strawman argument. Atheists do not feel dehumanized when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God. We just point out that saying "godddidit" is an unnecessary and completely useless hypothesis. And although it's not exactly accurate to say "we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident", that's still a better hypothesis than "goddidit".Originally posted by Ironside:[b]Top Ten Signs You're a Foolish Atheist

Most atheists however, do not blame god for anything because atheists don't believe that god exists. We don't blame anything for natural disasters. And as for the ills of modern society, if there's anyone to blame, it's probably people.9. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God, but you have no problem with the evolutionist claim that we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident.
Er... the Origin of Species is a good scientific book to read because it tells you how Charles Darwin came to his conclusions. However, it is outdated now. Most of the claims he made based on what he observed was true. Our understanding and science have progressed a lot since then.8. You criticize fundamental Christians who believe the Bible, and say that it can't possibly be true because it's just a book written [b]by mere men, yet you never question any of Darwin's writings or Richard Dawkins' books.[/b]
Newton misunderstood the nature of gravity, but that doesn't change what he observed about gravity and he wasn't wrong in his observations. His theory was refined over the years and Einstein revolutionized our understanding of it.
But guess what, Einstein also did not have the complete picture. We still don't really understand gravity. However, that does not lessen the contribution of both men.
Science is all about questioning. Science places evidence first. There is overwhelming evidence for evolution. Overwhelming.And how many people have been killed in the name of Jesus? (Hint: Albigensian Crusade) Also, the US military is full of fundamentalist christians.7. You can't seem to understand the primary differences between fundamental Muslims and fundamental Christians (hint: strap-on TNT. Plus - Muhammad says, “kill innocent people and yourself if you love me.” Jesus Christ said, “I’ll die for you because I love you”).
But wait, you say, those are not "true christians". Funny how Christians always they they are "true christians" and everyone else isn't.

Huh? I thought it's the religious that think that supernatural magical being routinely violates the laws of physics.5. You laugh at the Supernatural, even though scientists have calculated the odds of life forming by natural processes to be estimated less than 1 chance in 10 to the 40,ooo power – But you find nothing wrong with believing that billions of years full of random mutations would result in the impossible.[/quote]
Sigh. This is a misapplication of the math and a misunderstanding of evolution. Mutation is random, however, evolution is not random. Anyway, I think I saw this creationist video before where they tried to "explain" the 10^40,000 thing. There's a good rebuttal to that. I'll try to find it.[b]4. You accuse fundamental Christians of being intolerant, judgmental and hateful, while you foam at the mouth calling them freaking lunatics, ignorant, weak-minded, stupid fundies, and hateful bigots.
That's because fundamentalist Christians ARE all of the above. But I only foam at the mouth while I'm brushing my teeth.3. You ignore scientific concepts like cause and effect, and you don't realize that a closed system can be defined however the observer wants, so you throw out technological phrases to try to ignore the implications of thermodynamics by saying the laws of physics are not set in stone.
Er... what evidence, logic and reasoning?2. While all evidence, logic and reasoning point to a Creator and absolute truth, you prefer to hide behind relativism and a theory of evolution which does not, in fact, describe the creation of the universe at all, or why concepts of good and evil or morality exist.
Also, the theory of evolution has nothing to do with the theories on the origin of the universe. For that matter, the theory of evolution makes no comment about how life came about.[quote]1. Atheism fails to adequately explain the existence of eternal, unchanging truths, for it rejects the existence of an eternal unchanging mind. Atheism cannot offer man any eternal significance whatsoever. Temporary meaning in life is insufficient, for our accomplishments die with the death of the universe -- there is no ultimate purpose in a universe void of God.How do you define "eternal, unchanging truths"? Is there such thing as an eternal unchanging mind?
Atheism is just recognizing the world as it is, based on evidence. It's not intended to offer man any eternal significance. And who says the universe must have an ultimate purpose. Just because you want it to have a purpose, doesn't mean there is one. -
Actually, I don't mind if christians think I'm going to go to hell... as long as they don't try to save me.Originally posted by extrinsic:sorry, i only read point 4, since u quoted in red.

...surely even believers can be thinking, and intelligent... and not fall into such depths of stupidity.

Atheists are attempting a Zergling rush before the enemy can establish his base.Originally posted by Icemoon:lol .. Ironside's attempt backfired .. this thread is swarmed by atheists now? -
Man wtf is up with atheists these days? There used to be religious fanatics, now it's the exact friggin opposite with all these atheist fanatics constantly bashing religion. Honestly people stop that shit, just because people don't believe what you do.

jondizzle foshizzle .. I thought you are another atheist?

point 7 was totally not needed brother.

I am a christian. And I totally do not agree to label someone foolish. I also see there is another thread that says 'top 10 signs of foolish christians'
Calling someone foolish does not really reflect well on yourself, christian or not.
We are just people who have different beliefs. I will not call another who differs from me in beliefs as foolish.
BUt I guess without people like you all who like to call each other names....the world would be so boring -

I am sorry to say that, TS is reinforcing the idea that Christians are a bunch of people who like to make statements and state them as if they are true and without basis.
This is a foolish endeavour I must say. -
Indeed.Originally posted by laurence82:I am sorry to say that, TS is reinforcing the idea that Christians are a bunch of people who like to make statements and state them as if they are true and without basis.
This is a foolish endeavour I must say.
In fact, TS's post seems to insinuate that all atheists are ignoramus living in our self-delusional worlds. -
chill it guys .. TS just copy and paste from somewhere.Originally posted by Spartans:Indeed.

Atheists, please consider this before posting. The list above does not apply to all atheists, but only the foolish ones.

A topic without much thought processOriginally posted by Icemoon:chill it guys .. TS just copy and paste from somewhere. -
I did consider that at first. However, I disagree with your apologia.Originally posted by SumOne:Atheists, please consider this before posting. The list above does not apply to all atheists, but only the foolish ones.
To fundamentalist Christians, all atheists are fools.
It comes from Psalm 14:1, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
Besides, some of the points would only be considered "foolish" to a fundamentalist Christian. -
There still are religious fanatics. It's just that the non-religious are finally finding their voice.Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Man wtf is up with atheists these days? There used to be religious fanatics, now it's the exact friggin opposite with all these atheist fanatics constantly bashing religion. Honestly people stop that shit, just because people don't believe what you do.
I think for the most part, the non-religious don't really care what the religious believe. The problem is the religious like to interfere with the lives of others. -
That's really some good rebuttal from Phaze.
However, I still think that life on Earth is created not by chance from some Big Bang theory, etc... I do not believe that life came out by chance or man came out by chance. Evolution like you said is not a random event and even in randomness there is order.
Even more unfathomable is the creation of universe and the difference between the galaxy and the world of an atom.
And there is certainly a purpose of existence because life on earth, like Phaze said, is created not from randomness.
For me, there is certainly Gods out there.
