Atheism is a belief (Why Atheists don't believe part 2)

Have you been reading this thread, and the one that started this one?
There are clearly terms and sayings like "pink unicorn", and "santa", which I consider dogma of an atheist.

Yes. The function of the Holy Spirit is associated with 9 gifts.
The fruit of the spirit is love.
If you knew me before, and knew me now, you could easily objectively measure those changes.I also look ten years younger I believe I can. The problem is you won't subject yourself to the test with 100% heart.

Yes, I think everything is eternal.But it's just a speculation.

Isn't it plainly clear that in a secular college you will learn about all the reasons why God doesn't exist, and in a Christian one, you will learn the opposite?Why is the Christian one dogma?

Sure...your a poster atheist. You learned from your wife, and your dad, and your 2 daughters in college? Careful there, your stealing my lines.
I hate odds. I hate surveys.
If the odds of winning the lotto are 1,000,000 to 1, and you wiin on your first try, then that wasn;t the odds for you then, was it?The odds that we shouldn't exist are made up by people like Carl Sagan, and the like, not me.When scientist make claims like that, yet we are here, it makes me wonder. Seems that way.It's not a lock that you would come up with tewrms like that in college.Either way, you are new here, and semantics are not welcome, at l;east not with me. Your best bet at an intelligent conversation with me will be honesty, other wise it will cease, I don't have time for it.If you are interested in getting real, then I will too. Your giving yourself away.

right, I never went to school.It is that way in NYC. They leave you with no choice but not to believe, or at least question it.

Prove it. Says who?
I not only accept your decsion about it, but embrace it. There seems to be some kind of mistake in thinking that I am Jesus or something.I have every right to hate, it's my nature to hate things.
I can even be righteous in hating certain things.
I am a sinner like the rest of us.

We are going back over 20 years now, but it was mostly science classes, and most likely not all. But it was the general attitude of most, and left me to figure it out about God.Couple that with the joke that is religion sometimes, and I had to return to my "default postion" (j/k) of being agnostic.

BTW, you spelled remedial, atheistic, and surrounded wrong.Well way back in Message 191 I made the assertion "Another pre-programmed response that they must teach in college these days."I did not mention your family, you did.You have no clue if I am a loving caring Christian, you don't know me from a hole in the wall. No wonder you haven't found God. You seem to be confused. Around here we do not attack the person (which you seem to be doing a lot of) we attack the subject, it's part of the forum rules. It would serve us all a little better if you would keep your emotions out of it.Now all this has been entertaining for sure, but you'll have to prove there is no God, or prove that you have never heard about, or felt there was a God, in order for atheism not to be a belief.Let's stay on topic here.I'll ask you another question, what is beyond our known universe?Edited by riVeRraT, : typing error

Let's put it this way.
"If God exists" then every one of these silly little comments about God not existing could be considered dogma.I am not making an assertion that every atheist uses it.Does dogma have to be a written rule?

At what age are we talking about, because as a child I was afraid of many things that just diod not exist. It sprang into someones mind, but I agree, not everyones mind, is a possibility, hence the default position of atheism or "true atheist". It's difficult to say exactly what happened throughout the history of man, and why all those other gods existed. Sure there is lot's of evidence, but there is much missing also. I cannot say with any authority, other than what the bible says that originally we knew where we came from. But my "belief" is not based on that. It's one of those things I am dying to ask God. I do not agree with that. I have memories from when I was 1.5 years old.But the bible explains that we are to be born again. It explains that we are first born of the flesh, then born of the spirit. Which kind of goes along with what your saying. Probably the reason why children automatically go to heaven.So I agree with what your saying, and I find truth in it. I think it matches what Jesus taught us, which I also find truth in.But I also think that we were created to worship God. This is a default position that comes to be realized when we reach our state of consiousness.Atheist look for this, and what they see is not convincing enough to believe in it, so they believe there is no God.

Let me clarify.The bible exist, that is fact.I did not believe in it first, I just read it.
After I had my experience with the Holy Spirit, I can believe in it. In an instant it became very clear to me. Well me either. Especially when I compared what I read with the behavior of those who claim to be followers. I blamed religion for years. Now I realize that religion has nothing to do with God, it's made by, and run by man.I think focusing just on what Jesus taught is the best start.

Well this is one definition of dogma:An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true.This doesn't describe atheism at all?

This is not dogma?

truth of the dogma?
What the fuck does that mean?I think it says exactly what it says. I answered your question the best I could, maybe your not asking right? I have no idea what this means, does anyone else?
