any atheists or agnostic's willing (Page 4)

Point5andahalf: Richard Dawkins: "Religion is for those who are afraid of the dark."
John Lennox: "Atheism is for those who are afraid of the light."

Drain_Bammage: "When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself." - Peter O'Toole.

kritz0: "No one torments religious people into fumbling and doubting their own faith. If they have doubt they have festered it themselves. If they were so true in their faith, there would be NO faltering or doubt in their minds. Ever.
Just like in this scenario that an Atheist has no doubt in their beliefs and will not "pray" to a god they do not believe in."

I wanted to point out what I said again.
Why should we doubt our beliefs and for a second lose what we believe in to pray to a god that we do not see as existent?
It is the same scenario you are trying to explain but explained the other way around.



Would a god-fearing person not believe in god for a few moments, even if it is in the sanctity of his/her mind?
If they could honestly do that, that to me sounds like someone who is weak minded and not faithful in their own beliefs. As I said, for one to have doubt of the beliefs that they themselves, inside their own minds, believe, it would be of their OWN doing.
No one else's doing.




So let me get this straight, so because someone has faith in themselves and holds their beliefs inwardly, this automatically make it dark energy?
To care about oneself and one’s own beliefs and have the strength to not let others seed doubts in their minds....makes them dark or evil???
LOL. That is a riot.



>>>"your belifs are your beliefs, but, prostelitize? by harassment, humiliation and manipulation. taking advantage of weak minds. this is the dark energy of which i speak, the infringements on others free will, freedonm of religion and such for what??? sharing your believes in a constructive, civil manner, gaining attention thru kindness."<<<
Did you mean proselytize?
No one can make ANYONE feel inferior unless the person themselves lets it happen. If they have a weak mind and cannot fathom the fact the world is NOT a kind place and not everyone here are all sunshine and peaches....well I've got bad news for them. They really are not living in the same reality as everyone else.



Everyone has free will, everyone has the freedom of speech. Just like you, I can express my own opinions as freely as I chose. If you doubt any of your beliefs, that is YOU who has caused it to happen, not the person who has the differing opinion to yours.



Btw, I do not get how I haven't discussed my opinions in a constructive manner.I've built up my beliefs and my opinions as how I see fit, if anyone here is not being constructive, it is you and that other broad who made this thread in the first place.
Fyi, it isn't some dark force that has taken advantage of weak minds. It is the weak minds who sit here and try to argue a point they so very obviously cannot back up properly, logically, or intellectually.





I'm sorry, before you decide to make a comment about my last line....I would have to say, even if this is an online forum and not school. Your spelling is atrocious and the fact you are trying to sit there and tell me your differing opinion. Trying to tell me how apparently it is more correct than my own, when you cannot even wrap your mind around simple English, is just a riot.

Maybe you could find yourself a spell check?
Maybe also, someone else to proof read what you write to make sure it is comprehensible and in legible English?

Harlet: P.S. before i jet off too join other threads or start new ones,GOD is the name of "THE CROWN" not the personal name of the wearer....................... some of you must not have much expereince, holding the hands of someone dying, i have a little expereince with doing so,when i finished my emt training and what all else and recieved my license,i did not enter the field, i knew it drive me insane to come accross people as road kill, murder victims and what all else, so that when i reached a age where i asked myself "if' because i do have a gift or two, i entered into a nursing home where i took care of strangers who could no longer take care of themselves, and when i mention how when they are fixing too pass they glow in a warm soft yet bright yellow light i mean just that. and you can hear soft music. ta ta ,toodles.peace and tranquiltiy too you all.

kritz0: I've held the hand of a few people who have passed.
I've also held my friend as she died, from an overdose, in my arms. I did not pray to a god. I hoped the ambulance would make it there in time to save her, but if it was her time to go. It was her time to go.



I'm not a heartless deranged b#~&~. I just do not believe to let go of my beliefs to pray to a god that will never answer.
You people are the ones who are heartless. Over the past week, two of my close friends have lost their fathers, they prayed and mentioned on their facebook status about how god could not help them and the praying did not do them any sort of justification.

Some god-fearing axzwz#*y replied with some VERY insensitive things to them. Is that right?
To push god on someone who very clearly was not heard by some imaginary person up in the sky, instead of showing some empathy for the feelings they were feeling at that moment. Not even a morsel of sympathy was shown to either woman about their fathers passing, only mentions about how god shouldn't be looked over.

Wtf is that noise? Sounds like a bunch of crap and useless info when someone is in grieving.

ProfCandyRivers: Funy you should start this topic because at 10cm dilated I did yell Jesus Fucking Christ.

harlett: LOL
