It’s not anyone’s job to figure out your personal thoughts about the Christian God and Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods.

You don’t believe in any gods- why do you feel you must ask others to justify their beliefs while you don’t believe in any of it? Don’t you have things to do that are productive and bring you joy?

It’s a discussion. If you are not interested or capable of discussing these topics no one is forcing you to respond. DP.

It’s a discussion forum with rules. One rule is that each thread should have a topic. Your question about the difference between the Christian God and Roman and Greek and Egyptian gods is extremely off topic. This topic of this thread is in the title- What do people think about Atheists?

Your question should have it’s own separate thread.

You should respect forum rules.

Yup. And they lash out when you “threaten” them with facts or logic. (Or basic definitions of words)

I’m a DP and I have posted above. I responded to the OP’s question saying I have very neutral thoughts about atheists. You do you, and I’ll do me. I can respect you, and it would be nice if you can respect me.

I am not threatened by your facts or logic. I’d argue that you have no facts, however. You can’t prove there isn’t a God any more than I can prove there is one. We simply have two different beliefs.

We see creation all over and we conclude their must be a Creator.
You see creation all over and conclude it just happened.

We see creation all over and we conclude We don't know yet how it happened, but will continue to try to figure it out.
You see creation all over and conclude a supernatural being did it.

Exactly. You are not comfortable with uncertainty so you attribute unknown causes to a supernatural power.

Q:How did this thread go from op asking what people think of Atheists to Atheists bashing God and the beliefs of Christians?

A:all threads here end up bashing Christians

Sorry - the above is not atheists bashing God -- just someone expressing their very cogent views. You don't believe it? fine.

Sadly , some Christians react badly to having their beliefs challenged.

Nope. PP raised a very good question about why the atheist above went off-topic to bash faith instead of answering OP's question. Your attacks on Christians are simply new ad hominems. You guys need to stop the gish-gallopping and stick to the thread topic.

You need to stop misrepresenting what PP said. PP said “atheists bashing God”. No one is bashing any gods. Facts.

Anybody can go to the top of this exchange and read where an atheist wrote “God is a man made story …. Sorry.”

That is the Fact, and anybody can see it. And that’s why pp asked why atheists always go straight to bashing religion.

That you try to pretend this never happened is just one more example of dishonestly from an atheist. And then you wonder why some of you have such a bad rep.

Again, that is completely misrepresenting what the PP wrote.

“God is a man made story” is NOT “bashing god”.

Stop lying.

It’s disrespecting millions of people’s religious beliefs.

Again, simply saying you do not have religious beliefs and being a baseline decent person and respecting the religious beliefs of others is not hard to do.

You know pp’s inner thoughts? How?

What drives you to think and speak for pp?

Ok. That still isn’t “bashing god”.

PP should try to make a point without lying. Happens frequently on this forum.

So there are two posters defending the off topic posts. Why not create a new thread, as manners and forum rules dictate?

It’s the nature and source of religion. A way to explain the unknown to people who need an answer.

Being a decent person is respecting other people in a polite and decent manner.

There are many people posting about many various topics related to the OP but perhaps not explicitly answering OP’s question. This is common on DCUM. You seem new here.

You should clarify your post is your opinion. It is not the opinion of the pp you are speaking for.

Not sure PP has the perspective to see that.
