Sounds like you're feeling tempted by atheism.

Forget it. you're not our type.

Besides no one is recruited to atheism. We all make up our own minds. No one will come to your door to give you the good news or threaten you with eternal damnation.

If atheists make up their own minds, why do you feel the need to ask believers to justify their faith? You've already made up your mind, correct? You don't recruit people, correct?

Because it is a discussion in a discussion forum? Because it is an interesting question? And lots of other reasons?

Why do you feel the need to ask what you asked?

See what a silly thing that is?

No sillier than an atheist asking a believer to "prove" what he/she believes in.

Sigh... man you miss the point yet again, on purpose I am sure.

It's a discussion forum dude. If you don't enjoy discussing the topic I don't know why you are here. The fact that you don't have a good justification for your belief is your problem. The theist who admitted they don't care what is true or not is the most honest one, and you will note no one took issue with them. Maybe you should try that?

If your best answer is " because this is a discussion forum" then you are being no more honest than you are assuming I am to be. You want an honest answer? I do care whether or not God exists, because He is the whole reason for the Faith in the first place. If you don't think that is an honest answer, I dont know what else to say.

So you do care if it is true or not?

Great.

Then why is so horrible to be asked why you think it is true?

Whether or not it has happened, what si the problem of asking for evidence of a claim?

Do all unsupported claims demand to be accepted silently here? Homeopathy? Conspiracy theories? Religions like Scientology?

I am asking seriously.

You could have left off "like Scientology" and just left it as "Religions"

Mine: If I follow a Religion that believes in the existence of God, I should also care about whether He exists or not.

From what I've witnessed on this board they're generally an angry miserable bunch. I think while they don't know it or even realize it they might be driven by the devil to pull people away from God. They might be being used.

Think about this: when on these boards have you seen believers trying to covert atheists into believing in God? When have you seen them pushed, shamed and antagonized for not believing in God? Never. Why is that? Does that seem strange to you? It's one way. Ask yourself why is it one way? Food for thought.

+1M Atheists are indeed very angry and combative to try and "prove" the religious people wrong on here. Things that make you go hmmmm.

You can take as many personal shots as you like. I don't think any atheists here are angry, except maybe about one thing:

How you believers often won't answer simple questions.

I am not saying your beliefs are wrong. I am asking how you justify them since there seems to be no significant evidence for them. If you take that as "trying" to "prove you wrong", well, that's your issue. This is a discussion forum, after all, and if you're not prepared to discuss things, maybe you should not participate in discussion?

I would encourage you to grow up and if you are going to engage be prepared to explain your religious beliefs the same way you might with someone who disagreed with you on any other topic on DCUM. Gardening, colleges, investing, health, and yes, politics.

Talking to people like you is a waste of time. Telling people (insulting) people telling them to grow up all the while not understanding the basic concept of faith is ridiculous. Perhaps it's you that needs to "grow up" and find other things like gardening, colleges, investing, health to discuss with others in a non-combative manner. Your position as it stands, is lame.

Of course you should. But, since you don't follow such a creed, I'm assuming you don't care whether or not Santa exists.
