Imagine if people kept telling you that your roof needs repair. You say ''No, I deny that, My roof is just fine, it needs no repair.'' Now, for some reason, you seek out carpenters and listen to them discuss repairing roofs. You read and study on repairing roofs, all the while swearing that your roof needs no repair. Could it be that deep down inside, you know your roof needs repair and you just refuse to admit it???
well maybe they just want to learn how to repair their roof? what's wrong with that?

Again your analogy falls flat because one could easily look at their roof and see for themselves if it needs repair.

And in that instance someone who looks in on it is better off than someone who doesn't look at all.

Well thank you for giving us that information about yourself. The reason you are having a hard time understanding why others would is because your projecting your own disinterest in the cultures and worldviews other than one's own onto others. I have learned a lot from being here beyond just learning concepts that I don't accept as true based on the evidence. Through understand the Christian message I have been able to enjoy, understand, and respect a lot more artwork that has been made throughout the centuries.

I've visited Buddhist temples before as well. Some lovely ideas they have, though a lot of it is plagued with unsubstantiated claims.

With all due respect, brother, you have it twisted. I do not reject or shun other cultures. However, I do reject false gods, false prophets and false doctines, as i am Biblicaly instructed to do.

Is it bad? How does it affect anybody? I dont bash on atheists, I actually try to learn and understand them? So if this is a Christian site? Then Christians shouldn't go to none Christian sites?
Im partly a believer and I dont have a strong faith (maybe I dont even have faith) I can even say that Im not a believer of God? But I want to believe. Sometimes I only post things that may seem like I hate God but not because I honestly hating but because Im crying to God to give me a clue and actually believe, or how young children sometimes do bad things so our parents can notice us.

I dont find it offensive but as a christian you shouldnt be either sending people away because they are not christian nor forcing your christian ways onto others.. If I remember right as followers of Christ we should love everyone, and follow God, but that is my opinion and love means to love people even tho they are wrong in our belief system. Not really bashing on anybody. Just my opinion.

Sincerely Uriel.

This is a thread about atheists in Christian chat. It is not a thread on spelling and grammar.. welcome to my ignore bin,,,,have a nice day
You criticize people's personal beliefs and say there's a problem with them, and then turn around and put someone on ignore for pointing out a problem with your spelling?

Do you not see the irony?

BY THE GREEK GODS! Using this analogy, maybe I am just refusing to admit that bigfoot, aliens, and fairies exist. Perhaps I know the earth is flat and am just refusing to believe it because I have an interest in why people would believe in a flat earth.

...uhh.....no...because harping on spelling is just petty
I'm going to agree with you here. Your point was still clear and that is really all that matters when communicating.

Atheist chat sight..might go a little bit like this...

''There is no God''
''I agree, there is no God''
''Well I guess that's all we have to talk about''
''Guess so..see ya later''

That's actually a very funny conversation.....:)

Atheism. The belief that there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing, and then nothing magically exploded for no reason creating everything, and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself, for no reason what so ever, into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs ...........

makes perfect sense.

I was sent here by the Almighty GOD to share His words to all particularly to those who do not know Him.

It takes more faith to believe that matter can spontaneously create itself..if matter can not be created or destroyed, it stands to reason tha there was a creator

A lot of atheists don't believe in a nothing.

But matter can be created and destroyed. It can be converted into energy. If we want to say that all of that is the same thing than it can still be created and destroyed and is observed to do so in the case of zero-point energy. The law of conservation of mass and energy does apply to most situation and it is a useful tool for explaining certain systems in reality, but not all systems. It doesn't work on the quantum scale and it doesn't apply to the scale of the universe which is noted in general relativity. This is actually highlighted now that it can be shown that the universe is an expanding system and therefore is not closed even in the strictest of senses.

The laws of nature are constructs that humans come up with in order to explain what they observe around them. If it is observed to happen on a very reliable bases than we often call the representation of these observations to be a law. However, the conversation of mass was come up with in the 18th century and since then we have found examples that break that law.

I still don't think the evidence has been presented that the universe needed a designer. However I will say that it stands to reason that any being believing in any originator can be right. But if their reasons are insufficient and tenets mutually exclusive I fail to deduce how I'm suppose to actually choose between whether or not the claims are true.
