If those were his opinions before he became a Christian (there are no values, no meaning to anything, etc), he was as much a fool when he was an atheist as he is now.

If you are not a Nihilist then you are just a pretend atheist , also known as a "Christian atheist" or "western atheists". When you begin to study Philosophy or western thought this will begin to dawn on you , then you will wish you had not typed such an ignorant comment for all to see.

Many atheists are religion professors because they love to study religion and discuss what people believe and why. They love to be challenged, challenge, write, dialogue, and debate like anyone else. It can be very intellectually stimulating, invigorating, and a great way to live.

We also want to oppose the dangers in religion especially when it gains cultural influence. We might even care enough about people that we don't want to see their lives harmed by false beliefs.

In my college experience I was told to keep all my religion beliefs to my self most of time, Was told in speech class I could talk about anything but God. My philosophy proffesor liked being challenged except when He was wrong then my papers suddenly were graded down a step, It seemed to me the message was question all authority but the proffesors, and dont ever dare win an argument unless you dont care about your grade.but im sure it was more stimulating for

you Paul.LOL

[PaulHarrison1976]

I barely made it through high school! No, I don't disagree with a thing you said.

[grandconjunct]

yeah same here !

[fmmetamc]

@grandconjunct exactly, he cannot live life without violating his own worldview at every turn.

So being just molecules makes everything useless? With all respect but that's bull. We atheists believe in discovery. The universe hold secrets we need to explore. U believers look at the world and say: "gosh what a mess, but let's just believe there's something better after this" . Why we atheists keep trying to convince U? Simple, we are all on the same planet, and we are interdependant. We don't need supersticion, it's harmfull and dangerous, just like, as u mentioned, opium is.

Greg Koukl is a fantastic thinker and communicator. Thank you for adding this!

regarding Horus and Egyptian gods, you should research Gary Habermas (even on YouTube).

And you are agreeing with this jesussatanallah guy's bullying attitude? Why would you want to use capital DESTROY for someone's beliefs? I thought you said that it was Christianity that killed lol.

I find this an odd oxymoron (for lack of better word)

[larry1961]

Christians trying to run your life? No one's calling you a Zombie lol.

Destroy Christianity? If it is real (and it is) do you think you can destroy it?

And you say Christianity is militant?

You want to destroy? Lol please tell me you are kidding.

I personally think atheists have lots of purpose. I think they really feel sorry for we who believe. But I disagree with your premise that we are sitting around waiting. The Bible is against that attitude as you are. Real Christians labor greatly for mankind....feeding the poor, building churches and relationships, teaching the poor how to build and harvest.

I know personally of many thousands of people in Calcutta, the Congo, Russia, etc., who have been fed and clothed by Christians

[larry1961]

N1K1mom Why you think that all Christians are the OPPOSITE on the stewardship of the earth? Who have we trampled on?

How many people in the 19th/20th century were killed by the religious vs those who were atheist?

Most Christians who ARE true Christians are true ladies and gentlemen who would give their lives for friend or foe. Do you hate religion because what you have seen fits your view? If so, why not search till you find a loving God? Or do you just hate religion in general?

[N1k1mon]

Or just prove that he is the exact same person as the Egyptian Horus, they have EXACTLY the same life story except Horus was way before Jesus....and the rest of the OT and NT stories can be found in mostly Egyptian and other pre-existing cultures and religions....the biblical authors were plagiarists and sophists, it is ABSOLUTELY, 100% PROVEN FACT THAT THIS IS TRUE....but the biblicist will argue that somehow these people had access to prophecies and thats how they knew...or that its all a plot
