Published by Okay so there were a couple of questions that I wanted ask. Also there are some things that I wish you could explain to me.
Ok so first I was going to ask my questions and say some things I wanted to say.
-
Why are you an atheist?
I mean really because I don’t understand why people would sit there and not believe in God just because it seems impossible to them. Also I want to say that just because God didn’t answer your prayer or do something for you doesn’t mean He doesn’t exist. All that means is that he said,”No.” Maybe it was because it was you were unfaithful, or something like that.

How did the Universe and everything come into existence?
If everything did come into existence at one random moment then what made it? And if you do believe it was the Big Bang then what caused the Big Bang to occur or what caused the thing that made the Big Bang happen?
-
Why is there right and wrong?
How come we have a conscious? Even if we haven’t learned what’s good or what’s mean, we still somehow know when we are being mean or doing something nice.
-
How did the first human appear on the Earth?
I couldn’t have just appeared from no where. If we did come from fish or microorganisms then what created them?
-
Did you ever think that you might be wrong?
I mean like seriously because if you are wrong then you ARE going to hell. Imagine a place of torture of eternal flames of a foul smell. Now imagine being in that place for ALL ETERNITY. There is no escape what so ever from hell. Once you are there, you are stuck there (unless God doesn’t want you there). Of course, you could be thinking well I can just become a Christian before I die. Well when are you going to die? You could die any second while reading this article. You could die tomorrow, next week, next year, in a day, just any basic time measurement. So I would just become a Christian so I wouldn’t have to worry about that, because that is not a risk I want to take…
I’m an atheist, because while stories, fables and parables can be fascinating, nothing beats reality.
How did the universe come into existence? If god, then what brought god into existence? Saying you don’t know is OK!
Right and wrong exist because people are social animals and have to get along with each other. Those who don’t get along will be removed one way or another.
What is consciousness? Some emergent behaviour when brains become large enough? Aren’t some other animals conscious? We evolved from earlier apes with the same design errors.
What if Christianity is wrong, and some now extinct tribe in Africa had it right, so we’re all going to their hell. Why waste a fraction of your only(?) life on a myth?
You’re right. I don’t know who created God. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. Maybe God has a dad or something…
Btw Charles Darwin admitted he was wrong about the ape thing. And if we did evolve, how come we aren’t still evolving?
And are there actually extinct tribes that say that they have a hell? Because if there is I’m pretty sure it’s the same basic concept of Christainity.
Good article little buddy. These kind of articles here always trigger up a lot of debate here on Triond. If you write about controversial topics, you can get a decent amount of views.
Thanks man! I also wanna help out ya know so i figured this would be a good place to start and i can earn a lil money at the same time lol.
I appreciate your entusiam (excus th spelling) There are so many thing we don’t understand, how, what where? We will as soon as we are with Jesus.
Well, in the bible Jesus says he will return SOON: Hundreds and thousands of years is anything but SOON. Doesn’t that tell you that something in not on the up and up with Jesus?
God loves you so much that he would let his son die for you. God loves you so much that he’ll put you in an eternal hell if you dare to disagree (Where is the love?). Its a contradiction in logic. But of course Jesus made no actual sacrifice if he rose from the dead.
Life comes from the interaction of Atoms with the laws of physics (all of which have yet to be discovered) then evolution takes over (another law within physics).
If evolution takes thousands of years then you don’t live long enough to see it take place…but what would evolution look like if you could see it taking place midway(It might very well look something like gay people who are experiencing differences in their humanity which may take thousand of years to change them into whatever evolution is doing to them).
If there is something eternal in the universe…What makes you think its a God? Maybe the universe has an eternal quality to it which has always been here and the big bang was really a little bang in the midst of something that was already there and will always be there; Perhaps the energies of the atom. One thing is sure: No one has seen a God for thousands of years and the only time he seen is reported in writing. Very strange! The absense of evidence is evidence too.
There is a right and wrong even without religious belief because qualities such as fairness and Justice brings order into the lives of what has evolved to be social creatures. In order to survive we must work together with the use of our high intelligence by being ethical. It will not be wise to use religions as a moral yardstick because they are mixed with mysticism, peculiar hatreds, and superstition. Objective ethics will have none of that in it. In other words people will learn to do good because it brings about the order and positive effects needed to make progress in life.
Consciousness is merely the side effect of the many neurons in the brain which evolution has determined is a successful and unmatchable way for a living organism to identify danger and escape pain.
