Guest on_chanymc Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I am an atheist. I want to ask you "Does God exist? Who is the true God? Why do we have to believe in Him?" Because I am doing a study about atheist's opinions on these questions. Please state your personal view...Thx!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skankboy Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Are you sure this is in the right forum? Most christians that would respond won't be found under "Ex-christian life", that's kind of the point. You probably want to try the Colleseum. (ps, the answers are: 1. yes, 2. Mick Foley, 3. Cause he fucking rocks!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythra Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Let me get this straight. You are asking atheists their opinion on who the true God is. Do I have that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'm an Agnostic, weak Atheist, so you know what colors my answers will be in. "Does God exist?" Don't know, but I don't think so. I don't have a belief in God, but we can't prove that he exists, neither can we prove that he doesn't, even though most logical arguments rather point to the non-existence of God, making it the most likely answer, still it can't be proven. I hold the position that we can't prove neither today, but there might be some ways of doing it in the future. "Who is the true God?" God is not necessarily a "Who", but could be an "It". God could be a collective name for a group of gods, or it could be the word we use to reference a machine that creates and runs universes. So who or what is the true God is impossible to answer. You can make up your mind on your own, but there's nothing that can point to one kind or another. But in every humans life, even the most fundamentalist Christian there is one god that goes above and beyond the Biblical or Theological supreme being called God... the Ego. Every Christian and any other human being, everyone goes back to one source for every decision they make, themselves. For instance, if I would follow the commands in the Bible, it would be because I choose to do so. And this "I" that made that choice, was not the God in the heavens, but the "God" that is inside me, my consciousness and my own trust in my own decisions. I would believe in my own capability of making the right decision, so I have made myself to the highest authority for deciding where I will put my trust. It's the Ego that's the one and true God for every human being, even if they can't see it. "Why do we have to believe in Him?" A question that only requires an answer if you do believe in God, and you believe that this supposed God requires your faith. And faith is built on trusting ideas rather than proofs or evidences. That question can't be answered. **edit** Unbelievable! I'm above 6k posts. Now I'm aiming for the magic 6160, then 6660 and lastly 6666! Muahahaha!

Purple Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I'm not an atheist, I'm an agnostic. "Does God exist?" Possible "Who is the true God?" Don't know, no longer care. Why do we have to believe in Him?" Uh, is that like asking "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksand Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I am an atheist. I want to ask you "Does God exist? Who is the true God? Why do we have to believe in Him?" Because I am doing a study about atheist's opinions on these questions. Please state your personal view...Thx!!!! 102126[/snapback] Before I answer you, what is a God? If it is "Jesus" then the answer is no. as Jesus never accepts the mantle of god which would have been antithetical for a Jew. Great for a pagan god, but for a real Jew... ha ha ahhaa. So your question presupposed the question, and as an no-theist, you'll know the discussion is pointless amoungst those that have decided not to make the choice, the premediated action to believe in th's "G-Man."

spamandham Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thank for all reply about my questions....The God means Jesus Christ...... That doesn't help much, since "Christ" means "annointed", implying there is a power still higher that sanctifies the annointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I am doing a study about atheist's opinions on these questions. Please state your personal view...Thx!!!! 102126[/snapback] Surely you mean "Do gods exist ?" Your question "Who is the true God?" presupposes that there are gods ! Your question "Why do we have to believe in Him?" Presupposes that there is a specific god to worship !! In other words, your second and 3rd questions are entirely redundant/meaningless once an "atheist" predictably answers your first question. You don't seem to think much like an "atheist".

Jose Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 1. Does God exist? Absolutely! 2. Who is the True God? Me, of course. 3. Why do we have to believe in Him? Because I will save you, My child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willybilly30 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 You are asking atheists about whether they think Jesus is the true god Do you know what an atheist is? Atheist believe in no god so the answer would always be no on all three questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We are not all atheists here. You are making an awfully big assumption. This is the forum for former Christians, not the athiests only forum. I suggest doing a Yahoo search on finding atheist forums and groups if that is what you are really looking for.

Skankboy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Now come on everybody, let's get this straight: There is only one god and he is Mick Foley. He appears to us in the holy trinity of Mankind, Dude Love and Cactus Jack. Let no one doubt his awesome might or surely you will have the smackdown laid upon you!

willybilly30 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Im still confused why someone would ask an atheist that question. That would be like asking a vegetarian if they liked the monster bacon burger at hardees. In addition, he seems to have disappeared what is up with that. Why start a topic if you are not going to stick around and talk to people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
