Top Ten Signs You're a Foolish Atheist

originally posted by Danielle Kekoa on the DBC Women's Fellowship Website

10. You vigorously deny the existence of God, yet you frequently blame Him for all the "evils" in the world, all the natural disasters, and everything else under the sun that is wrong in modern society.

9. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God, but you have no problem with the evolutionist claim that we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident.

8. You criticize fundamental Christians who believe the Bible, and say that it can't possibly be true because it's just a book written by mere men, yet you never question any of Darwin's writings or Richard Dawkins' books.

7. You can't seem to understand the primary differences between fundamental Muslims and fundamental Christians (hint: strap-on TNT. Plus - Muhammad says, kill innocent people and yourself if you love me. Jesus Christ said, Ill die for you because I love you).

6. You say the Bible is full of fairytales and fables, yet you believe all life forms including plants, trees, insects, birds, fish, reptiles and mammals evolved from one species into another - As if evolution isnt the biggest fairytale of them all.

5. You laugh at the Supernatural, even though scientists have calculated the odds of life forming by natural processes to be estimated less than 1 chance in 10 to the 40,ooo power But you find nothing wrong with believing that billions of years full of random mutations would result in the impossible.

4. You accuse fundamental Christians of being intolerant, judgmental and hateful, while you foam at the mouth calling them freaking lunatics, ignorant, weak-minded, stupid fundies, and hateful bigots.

3. You ignore scientific concepts like cause and effect, and you don't realize that a closed system can be defined however the observer wants, so you throw out technological phrases to try to ignore the implications of thermodynamics by saying the laws of physics are not set in stone.

2. While all evidence, logic and reasoning point to a Creator and absolute truth, you prefer to hide behind relativism and a theory of evolution which does not, in fact, describe the creation of the universe at all, or why concepts of good and evil or morality exist.

1. Atheism fails to adequately explain the existence of eternal, unchanging truths, for it rejects the existence of an eternal unchanging mind. Atheism cannot offer man any eternal significance whatsoever. Temporary meaning in life is insufficient, for our accomplishments die with the death of the universe -- there is no ultimate purpose in a universe void of God.

9. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God, but you have no problem with the evolutionist claim that we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident.

Creationist strawman argument. Atheists do not feel dehumanized when creationists say that people were created in the image and likeness of God. We just point out that saying "godddidit" is an unnecessary and completely useless hypothesis. And although it's not exactly accurate to say "we all evolved from slime by a cosmic accident", that's still a better hypothesis than "goddidit".

Er... the Origin of Species is a good scientific book to read because it tells you how Charles Darwin came to his conclusions. However, it is outdated now. Most of the claims he made based on what he observed was true. Our understanding and science have progressed a lot since then.

Newton misunderstood the nature of gravity, but that doesn't change what he observed about gravity and he wasn't wrong in his observations. His theory was refined over the years and Einstein revolutionized our understanding of it.

But guess what, Einstein also did not have the complete picture. We still don't really understand gravity. However, that does not lessen the contribution of both men.

Science is all about questioning. Science places evidence first. There is overwhelming evidence for evolution. Overwhelming.

7. You can't seem to understand the primary differences between fundamental Muslims and fundamental Christians (hint: strap-on TNT. Plus - Muhammad says, kill innocent people and yourself if you love me. Jesus Christ said, Ill die for you because I love you).

And how many people have been killed in the name of Jesus? (Hint: Albigensian Crusade) Also, the US military is full of fundamentalist christians.

But wait, you say, those are not "true christians". Funny how Christians always they they are "true christians" and everyone else isn't. Wink

Evidence.

sorry, i only read point 4, since u quoted in red.

my views are, they (christian) started it first.
i was first told:
- u dun believe in christian, u die in hell
- u dun believe in christian, u r foolish, ignorant.
- without jesus, there is no U
- u are all sinned, no matter wad u do. but believe in jesus, then u will b spared of sins.

i dunno abt most of the ppl here, they are the ones who started the scolding first.

Huh? I thought it's the religious that think that supernatural magical being routinely violates the laws of physics.

Er... what evidence, logic and reasoning?

Also, the theory of evolution has nothing to do with the theories on the origin of the universe. For that matter, the theory of evolution makes no comment about how life came about.

How do you define "eternal, unchanging truths"? Is there such thing as an eternal unchanging mind?

Atheism is just recognizing the world as it is, based on evidence. It's not intended to offer man any eternal significance. And who says the universe must have an ultimate purpose. Just because you want it to have a purpose, doesn't mean there is one.

Phaze SG

Actually, I don't mind if christians think I'm going to go to hell... as long as they don't try to save me.

Icemoon SG

There are so many fallacies in this list, only unthinking believers can actually write such rubbish and delusional mindless followers can embrace it. Laughing

AndrewPKYap SG

...surely even believers can be thinking, and intelligent… and not fall into such depths of stupidity.

Phaze SG

Atheists are attempting a Zergling rush before the enemy can establish his base.

jondizzle foshizzle SG

Man wtf is up with atheists these days? There used to be religious fanatics, now it's the exact friggin opposite with all these atheist fanatics constantly bashing religion. Honestly people stop that shit, just because people don't believe what you do.

Icemoon SG

jondizzle foshizzle .. I thought you are another atheist? Laughing

cApitaland SG

point 7 was totally not needed brother.

gasband SG

I am a christian. And I totally do not agree to label someone foolish. I also see there is another thread that says 'top 10 signs of foolish christians' Laughing

Calling someone foolish does not really reflect well on yourself, christian or not.

We are just people who have different beliefs. I will not call another who differs from me in beliefs as foolish.

BUt I guess without people like you all who like to call each other names....the world would be so boring Laughing

laurence82 SG

U are foolish

gasband SG

Mad Laughing

laurence82 SG

I am sorry to say that, TS is reinforcing the idea that Christians are a bunch of people who like to make statements and state them as if they are true and without basis.

This is a foolish endeavour I must say.

Spartans SG

Indeed.

In fact, TS's post seems to insinuate that all atheists are ignoramus living in our self-delusional worlds.

Icemoon SG

chill it guys .. TS just copy and paste from somewhere.
