It's simple logic, friend. Without God in your life, you are incapable of knowing good from bad.

For the director of music. Of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
Psalm 14:1

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:10


In other words:

God + 0 = Good
Good - God = 0

Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

Atheism is a form of ancestor worship, like the chinks practice. They think their great-great-great-grandparents were monkeys, so they make up things like evilution to justify their monkey-worshipping occultism, which is really nothing more than a cover for their addiction to sin. Deep in their black little hearts, they know that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and LORD of Lords. Try as they might to postpone their inevitable and unavoidable confession of His majesty (Romans 14:11), they persist in self-delusion, all for the sake of justifying their perversion and total depravity. They are all stupid and ridiculous people who think they can take advantage of Jesus' kind offer of Redemption by postponing their conversion until they find themselves in either a foxhole or on a deathbed. Far more often, however, they find them flailing about in torments, in the fiery pits of hell!


II Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power



The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony

First of all I already mentioned that I don't like labeling myself as an atheist as I don't like to be grouped together with any particular group. I find this inhibiting since if you are in a group and the group decides to do something you disagree with it puts you in a tough situation. I would describe myself who doesn't believe in the existence of a God but I do not rule out the possibility.

Where do I begin with your question (its a very broad question)? I'll give you some examples of things I believe in and you can ask for more specifics. This is going to be disjointed.

  • I believe that humans are incredible in their ability to solve problems and are curious about what we don't know.
  • I believe that humans are inherently good and seek to help each other and better the world.
  • I believe that everyone should be allowed to believe what they want, practice whatever religion they want, say and do what they want as long as it doesn't endanger other humans.
  • I believe I am a good person because I know what is morally right and wrong.
  • I believe that redemption is possible for anyone.
  • This one's corny, but I believe that the best things in life are free. Spending time with a loved one, hiking to see a beautiful sight, a good long night of sleep, etc. The list goes on but all of the most enjoyable things in life are free.
  • I believe that only 1 of ~7 billion people on this planet in this infinitely vast universe. I believe that I truly am insignificant in the scope of all history but that doesn't mean I can't make significant differences for the people around me.
  • Following from that, I believe that one of the most significant and special things I can do is show the people I care about that I do love them and care for them.
  • I believe the universe is beautiful in that it functions perfectly to foster life on Earth and to sustain the stars and galaxies that we see at night.
  • I believe there could be other life forms somewhere out in the universe.
  • I think that there the advances in science and technology that we've had are amazing but there is still an infinite amount of knowledge that we don't know.
  • I believe since we are curious and intelligent beings we will continue to solve the worlds mysteries but since the unknown is infinite we will never be able to understand everything.
  • For a less abstract belief, I believe that education is vital for everyone as it allows us to achieve progress and gain knowledge.
  • Lastly, since it pertains to the forum that we are in, I do believe in the possibility of a God and I also believe in the possibility of the big bang or some theory that we haven't figured out yet which would explain why we are here.

I tried to organize that list in some sort of discernible order. Sorry if it seems random. I could go on listing beliefs forever. If you have any specific questions about that list or about any specific topics that you would like to know my beliefs on I will try to answer them as best as I can. Again, I will ignore rude comments. Thank you Destiny's Blunder for showing genuine interest in what someone who doesn't believe in God believes in.

Why do you refuse to call yourself an atheist if you are without theism (God)?
Please read my short list of beliefs that I came up with off the top of my head. But to answer your first question, I believe that it is possible to have morals without believing in God. I know inside of me that it is wrong to murder, steal, rape, be dishonest, etc. I don't know why I know these things are wrong but I believe we all have some sort of moral compass inside of us no matter what religion we follow. When I was little I remember lying to my mom about something inconsequential (whether I got a bad grade in school or something else that kids will do) and even at a young age I remember feeling bad lying. I believe we are just born knowing that certain things are not right.

I don't like calling myself an atheist because I don't like being put into a group. For example, if I called myself an atheist and tomorrow someone like Richard Dawkins or some other self-proclaimed atheist "leader" said that all atheists must take up arms and kill Christians. I would never want to do that. Obviously that is an extreme and probably stupid example but I hope you understand the point. I don't want to be in a group where I feel like I have to act as the group does. From my experience groups can become worse than the sum of their individuals (think teasing in school, alone one kid might not do it but as a group 5 or 6 kids might tease someone).

One other thing I believe is that everyone in this forum has the best of intentions. I truly believe that everyone here wants the best for each other and even for an outsider like me. Even though I don't have the same beliefs about God as you I do appreciate that I see you do want the best for everyone.

An atheist is like a horrible little child who is not grateful for all his father does for him.

His father gives him life and food. His father gives him love. His father corrects him with the rod when required.

The little brat just screams and bangs on the floor shouting 'I HATE YOU!!'.

The atheist acts in the same to his Father.

I know God wouldn't let me believe in Him if He didn't exist.

You know these things are wrong because God has written the law onto your heart,

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another

I know God wouldn't let me believe in Him if He didn't exist.

I understand you dislike labels, but would 'agnostic' be a fit for you?

Quote:
Where do I begin with your question (its a very broad question)? I'll give you some examples of things I believe in and you can ask for more specifics. This is going to be disjointed.
Okay.


Quote:
I believe that humans are incredible in their ability to solve problems and are curious about what we don't know.
Yes. The Lord placed us above all animals and the abilities you cite above give us mastery over the earth.
Quote:
I believe that humans are inherently good and seek to help each other and better the world.
I'm not with you there. The history of humanity is a bloodbath stretching from the distant past right up to this very minute. Armed conflicts are raging across the Earth right now. Everywhere people are stealing, lying, cheating, committing adultery, abusing,raping, murdering - the list of what we do to each other is endless. Humanity is a walking horror show and I'm rather surprised God doesn't wipe us all out and start over like He did in Noah's time.
Quote:
I believe that everyone should be allowed to believe what they want, practice whatever religion they want, say and do what they want as long as it doesn't endanger other humans.
That's believing in a fairytale. Every group seeks to push their views on others. Look at Gay Pride parades, for example. What's that all about? Why do I need to see nancies prancing around naked in the streets? That's why we need the KJV Bible. Humanity needs Truth to replace all the nonsense.
Quote:
I believe I am a good person because I know what is morally right and wrong.
How can their be a moral right or a moral wrong without God? Morals are absolutes and they have to come from somewhere. God is that somewhere. Without God their can be no morality. Morals are a great proof of god's existence.
Quote:
I believe that redemption is possible for anyone.
100% agree. Even Dahmer and Hitler, if they came to Christ in their final moments.
Quote:
This one's corny, but I believe that the best things in life are free. Spending time with a loved one, hiking to see a beautiful sight, a good long night of sleep, etc. The list goes on but all of the most enjoyable things in life are free.
Again, I agree. And the very best free thing is the gift of Salvation. It has to be free because we have nothing of equal value to pay for it. That's why the price was paid with Christ's blood. All you have to do is accept this gift.
Quote:
I believe that only 1 of ~7 billion people on this planet in this infinitely vast universe. I believe that I truly am insignificant in the scope of all history but that doesn't mean I can't make significant differences for the people around me.
I agree with this as well. After all, that's what i'm trying to do here with you.
Quote:
Following from that, I believe that one of the most significant and special things I can do is show the people I care about that I do love them and care for them.
What more significant thing can you do for those you love than show them the path to eternal Salvation?
Quote:
I believe the universe is beautiful in that it functions perfectly to foster life on Earth and to sustain the stars and galaxies that we see at night.
God's creation is a magnificent thing.
Quote:
I believe there could be other life forms somewhere out in the universe.
Of course. Angels and demons.
Quote:
I think that there the advances in science and technology that we've had are amazing but there is still an infinite amount of knowledge that we don't know.
Yes. our knowledge compared to God's is as that of a bacteria to a human.
Quote:
I believe since we are curious and intelligent beings we will continue to solve the worlds mysteries but since the unknown is infinite we will never be able to understand everything.
Yes. There are things only God knows and only god will ever know.
Quote:
For a less abstract belief, I believe that education is vital for everyone as it allows us to achieve progress and gain knowledge.
Absolutely. That's why you can ask for a free copy of the KJV Bible at any Baptist church.
Quote:
Lastly, since it pertains to the forum that we are in, I do believe in the possibility of a God and I also believe in the possibility of the big bang or some theory that we haven't figured out yet which would explain why we are here.
So you're on the fence. Okay, at least your mind isn't closed. Do remember though, you don't have forever to decide which side of the fence to come down on. Jesus could kill you at any time, and you do want to be on His good side when that happens.

Quote:
I tried to organize that list in some sort of discernible order. Sorry if it seems random. I could go on listing beliefs forever. If you have any specific questions about that list or about any specific topics that you would like to know my beliefs on I will try to answer them as best as I can. Again, I will ignore rude comments. Thank you Destiny's Blunder for showing genuine interest in what someone who doesn't believe in God believes in.
You did fine and I hope you found my comments edifying rather than offensive. God Bless.

I always thought agnostic came with the connotation that one isn't spiritual or doesn't care or hasn't thought about religion. I do think a lot about being spiritual and religious so if it carries that connotation I wouldn't accept that label. Strictly from the dictionary definition below I could agree that I am agnostic.

Quote:
ag·nos·tic (g-nstk)
n.
1.
a. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
b. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
Thank you for putting the time in to actually read my post and respond thoughtfully. I didn't find your comments offensive at all and I hope you haven't found any of my comments offensive either. I'm not going to respond to many of them because we agree on many of them and the slight differences are not anything worth arguing over.

There are two that I wanted to clarify/add to.

The first I want to clarify on the belief that you called a "fairytale." I wouldn't call them a "fairytale," rather idealistic. However, I think beliefs can be completely idealistic and impractical. That's why they are beliefs and not rules or facts. Everyone has some "typical" beliefs and some crazy, far-out there beliefs. That's why I think its so much fun to meet new people and learn what interesting ideas and beliefs they have.

The second point and my final comments will probably get me banned as they are blasphemy but I have to say them if I want to explain my beliefs fully, which I do, because you have shown a genuine interest.

Here is my definition of morality. This is taken straight from a dictionary.
Quote:
mo·ral·i·ty (m-rl-t, mô-)
n. pl. mo·ral·i·ties
1. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
I believe that one can have morals even with no belief in God as there is no mention of God in my definition of morality. Morality is simply having right or good conduct.

To truly understand my beliefs and viewpoints you have to realize that as someone who does not believe in God, I do not see the Bible as the infallible truth. Even though the Bible has a definition of morality, that doesn't mean that I automatically take that as my definition. Even though the Bible says everyone is born with morals because God put them there, I do not automatically assume that's why I have innate morals.

More generally, since I don't see the Bible as the only source of valid information. I analyze information from the Bible with the same critical mind that I analyze scientific studies, political policy, personal experience and everything else with. I think the Bible is an incredibly important text, but it does not receive greater weight when I analyze its information as anything else. I apologize if this blasphemy offends you but this is my belief.

This will probably be my last post as I think I have added as much as I can to this discussion. I have learned a lot about myself and my beliefs doing this. Thank you for that. I hope you can understand that even though I do not believe in God I still have a ton of beliefs and most of the beliefs I listed you said you agree, at least partially, with. I think we have many similar beliefs, but we disagree on some of the details and I am completely fine with that. In fact, I would completely fine if you said you disagree with all of my beliefs as one of my beliefs is that it is your right to believe whatever you want.

I don't want to leave by saying God Bless since I think that would inappropriate given the discussion, but I sincerely hope for the best for you and everyone here. I hope you have good health and fruitful, prosperous lives for yourselves and everyone you care about.

Probably because so many "not lonely and depressed" atheists insist upon joining this Christian church's discussion forum to prove how wonderful their lives are without God.

Who exactly are you folks trying to convince? Surely not us, because you invariably attack and insult us.

I think you're trying to convince yourselves that you're not miserable without God.

An agnostic is just an atheist with no balls.

But seriously, Bobby....Denying the existence of God is not unbelief but an exercise in self-deception. You may know things, but you cannot account for anything you know. Arguing against God's existence would be on par with arguing against the existence of air, breathing it all the while. You use the universal, immaterial, unchanging laws of logic, mathematics, science, and absolute morality in order to come to rational decisions, but you cannot account for them. These laws are not the only way God has revealed himself to you, but they are sufficient to show the irrationality of your thinking, and expose your guilt for denying Him.

There is a reason that you deny the existence of God and it has nothing to do with proof. I can show this to you. Do you think that you can continue to deny God because surely somewhere, sometime, a philosopher or scientist will come up with an explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws apart from God?' Did you ever try to come up with an alternate explanation on your own?

Hoping that an alternate explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws can someday be found apart from God, is a blind leap of faith, or wishful thinking. Isn't it interesting that this is exactly what professed unbelievers accuse Christians of?

Please examine the real reason why you are running from God. It is my prayer that God will open your eyes and change your heart so that you may be saved from your sin, embraced by His ferocious love, and that you will tithe robustly immediately using the Paypal button at the bottom of this page.

It'll be bad when Jesus kills you and sends you to hell. Real bad.

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, the church you grew up in, and how you came to hate Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

But it will be.

2 Chronicles 15:13
Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

John 15:6
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

We, too, choose to assist in others' lives, to bring them to Christ and eternal lfe. We don't stand in judgement of you, God does. We simply point this out in the hope (often vain) that you will realize the folly of the path you have chosen and instead choose worship of Christ and the eternal life in Heaven He wants you to have.
