What makes an atheist so scary

[Candi770]

There really isn't much difference from an athiest and a self righteous supposed christian.

Really? Atheists lack a belief in god where self rightous christians think they know-it-all about their god. You don't see the difference?

a self-righteous christian relys on self to make it through, an athiest relys on self to make it through

a true christian relys soley on God.

You rely SOLEY on god? to set your alarm clock? to do your job? to read to your children at night? to cook a meal? Everyone relys on himself to make it through a day, that's what's called being self-sufficient. If you don't do those things, no one else will.

I believe that we are justified soley by Christ, not ourselves. Yes,it is good that we can do all those things that you are listing, but it is God that wakes me up, God that causes me to breath/live. But if I believe that apart from Him I can find salvation, and a way to the Father, I'm only fooling myself.

Matthew 23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

See, the self righteous make themselves to look good on the outside, but inwardly they are dead.

man, I like your spunk.

I like your spunk too. All men are dead in Adam. Glad to see we agree on something.

but then judgement.....

I know it sounds harsh, but we do have a choice. I mean we all do.

Gee whiz, don't self-concocted "atheists" spend far too much time debating about a God Whom they say doesn't even exist? Why squabble for a lifetime over a non-entity? Shades of The Whiffenpoof Song, yes?

I agree, Arthur.

I go to atheist forums, and I have wondered for a while now why they put so much time and effort into creating sites which serve no other purpose than to speak out against Christianity.

Actually, I know the answer: Denial.

They find comfort in 'doing something' to block out the call and claim of God upon their lives, and create these sites in order to draw in and surround themselves with other people who will reinforce their stance.

They think there is 'safety in numbers'.

Sad.

Denial is apart of the answer. But- The full answer is the devil. The devil has full reign with these people- therefore they spew their unbelief and try to pull in as many as possible. The more that go to hell with them the better. They need company. As the old saying goes misery loves company.

They're STILL at it! Spending precious moments over a Creator-God Whom they don't even think exists...a NON-entity yet! Do our self-concocted "atheist" friends got here via the "decision" of their god Chance. Some GOD! Some CHANCE too! They surely owe at least a mite of thanx to that fortuitous collision of molecules on some ancient seashore which brot them the light of day, yes? But where'd the molecules come from? And where'd the seashore come from? And how'd the very light of day emanate? I get it now: EVERYTHING on earth needs a creator - but the ENTIRE UNIVERSE doesn't. Okay, alright, gotcha. Mirabile visu indeed!

As an atheist, I worry about the distrust and fear that some theists have for atheists. Because of this, I want to ask a general question.

What is it about atheism or the atheist that you find frightening or damaging to society?

I have included some information that theists and atheists alike might find interesting about the fear and discrimination in America.

According to a study done by the Sociology department at the University of Minnesota, the atheist is America's most distrusted minority.

From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households, university researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in

Hmmmmm ... atheist never scared me, I don't agree with their view of God, or not God.
