We see creation all over and we conclude their must be a Creator.

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.

You know pp’s inner thoughts? How?

What drives you to think and speak for pp?

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

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.

Pp doesn’t need your assistance. They are a separate, thinking adult.

Why do you think you know what pp thinks and what their perspective is?

Presumably, everyone here is a separate thinking adult. This is a public forum. People can respond as they wish.

And then rando anons can translate what other people really meant and explain what other people really think.

That’s mansplaining.

It’s toxic and ridiculous and rude.

A great way to show how intelligent and kind you are is to let people speak about their thoughts and refrain from speaking for them or telling others what they really think.

Again, you must be a troll, or a person who has no social skills or emotional intelligence. The only person you speak for is yourself.

People express their personal points of view here, as pp has just demonstrated.

It’s just an objective observation on a topic we are all discussing.

Your explanations are lacking any meaning. This thread is trashed and no one should continue participating in this trollfest.

No one is forcing you to participate if you aren’t interested or capable of discussing these topics.

According to the rigid rules of a certain PP, a believer better not come onto the thread and honestly share their views and participate in the discussion. That would make them a troll.

Thank you for that explanation, I was under the impression that participation in the dcum religion forum was mandatory. I am finally free.

You do seem oddly compelled to post on a thread you don’t like.

Maybe we should give it a try to tease out the hypocrisy.

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.

Ok. That still isn’t “bashing god”.

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

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

And perhaps…not lying?

Of course no response on this. Very odd how PP only criticizes certain people.

^^^ atheist troll trying hard to derail from the thread topic

Not a troll. I’m just an atheist trying to help you understand why I do t believe in your Christian god. I’m sorry if that offends you and you don’t think I belong in this discussion.

You’re derailing to talk about your own pet issues on a thread with a totally different subject. And you’re flattering yourself if you think anybody cares about your “help”/arguments.

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.

I’m a different poster.

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 atheist twins. They’ll trash any thread to call God “wishful thinking” and trash believers with the sort of bigotry above. They’ll never start a thread of their own when there are other threads to hijack and destroy.

And then they wonder why nobody likes atheists.

+1. Even the moderator said in his daily recap that this thread isn’t asking atheists any questions and they should “probably skip it.”

Actually, it is. The subject line question is what do you really think of atheists?

My answer a few pages back: I like you, I enjoy being around you, working with you, etc., but I see a giant hole in your life that is unfulfilled, and will never be by anything other than God. And thus I feel a tad sorry for you that you can't get out of your own way to find what it is that you are looking for in life.

I think it is you that doesn't want to hear this answer.

^^^ clear trolling

You two atheist trolls have trashed the thread. Congrats? Next thing you’ll play this martyr about your ot “opinions” not being appreciated. It’s so sad (I agree with pp) that the pair of you had absolutely no insight into how you’re contributing to the annoyance with atheists that OP is concerned about.

So when a topic is asking opinions about a certain type of person, that type of person is not allowed to post and explain their views?

As the moderator himself pointed out, “This thread itself is an example of a thread in which atheists really have nothing to offer and probably should just skip the thread. After all the original poster requested answers from religious people.“ Here, read it yourself: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/weblog/2023/05/05/update050523#comments

If you’re a troll, what a very sad way to spend practically your whole life.
