Do Christians know deep down there is no God

Christians say that all we need to believe is faith. We need to have faith that God is there, that he loves us. If we let him into our hearts, he will enter and it will be glorious.

But this isn’t what Christians really believe. They aren’t motivated by their so-called love or belief in their particular, cultural god. No. What motivates them is a hatred for science and rationality and reason. They refuse to let any of these things into their minds.

Deep down Christians know there is no God. They know that science has shown the world, for all intents and purposes, to be an atheistic one. They really do know that the Universe is 13.7 billion years old, that it is governed by understandable laws, that because of quantum mechanics and a law like gravity, there must be a Universe. They really do know that life is 3.9 billion years old, that it came from a simple replicator, that the why behind life is that genes will necessarily replicate as a population so long as they are able to do so. They really do know that humans are incidental, that natural selection does not demand we ever exist, and in fact, that it says our odds of being here would virtually disappear if the tape of life were to be re-run. They really do know that all that matters is what we do with the lives we have now because these are the only lives we will ever have. They really do know that things like love and sympathy and empathy and values and morality and all those special connections so many of us have with one another are what drive our goodwill. They really do know all these things and more.

But Christians will deny. They will deny it until the very end. The idea that science and reason and rationality have prevailed – not may prevail or will prevail, but *have* prevailed – hits at their very core. It destroys them to know that what they fundamentally hate is king of all. As H. L. Mencken once said, “The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe.”

Okay. So are you offended? Does this all seem horribly polemic, horribly hateful, inaccurate, and unfair? Even if you aren’t a Christian, do you find the preceding paragraphs to be wildly stupid?

I hope so.

Now maybe we can stop hearing about how atheists really deep down just hate themselves, happiness, love, God, and everything else under the sun, hm?

To start, i was raised as a southern baptist church member by my grand mother and mother. When I grew up and became enlightened by going to college i started requiring proofs of things. I became a scientific person believing only in what can be proved. I researched the whole Bible thing and the other books. They all were written interpretations of “gods wil ” written by men.men who were considered lasers and the cream of the crop of their time. Their interpretations were little more than Thier imagination. And since they were powerful men, no one questioned them.. That is the dogma that still plaques humanity. In order to “not go against the grain” we don’t question our family or friends or preachers. To believe in God is to choose to stay ignorant. Church us nothing more than a business playing on peoples emotions to collect money by making then feel good about them selves. Israel “gods people” are some of the most war bound people in the present world. They fight and kill and occupy militarily other peoples country in the name of God. Give me a break. Every thing is about money and war is the best way to make money. The world will be better when humans put this silly stigma down and, focus on science and realize that its not about one person but a whole. We are all human beings from Africans to Asians with the same biological make up. The differences we see on the outside are generic differences caused by environmental differences over a period of time. Some would call it mutations. What ever you call it, its a clue to the awesomeness of of the human body to change.remember religion is a till created to control the masses.

When one lumps an entire group of people into one group they fall into the age old problem of stereotyping the group on the basis of the few that he or she may personally know or may know about. While I am not claiming to be religious, because I am not, I find that atheist are just as obnoxious in their vitriol toward the believers. Atheist criticize the Christians for their professing their way as the only way, the atheist retort with the same type of rhetoric.
I know many Christians who have accepted that the Bible cannot be literally interpreted in the face of science but it does not mean their their beliefs are wrong. Atheists who claim to be the more intelligent can’t seem to be content within themselves without feeling the need to allowing others to believe as they please. Some Christians DO believe in God. Some may not. It is not my job, nor anyone else to convince them they are wrong. Maybe they are trying to reassure themselves.

We don’t like religion just because it promotes hate and murder, but because it’s based on lies and delusions. It promotes the idea that if you believe or have faith in something that somehow that’s enough to make it true. We like science for a reason–because it is based on facts and evidence.

I apologise to many atheist for feeling persecuted for their beliefs by not so christian christians who did not practice what they preached which is love and forgiveness. Im sure most atheist have come to hate relegions because they are sick of being told they are going to hell for every sin. We as christians need to practice what we preach which is loving our neighbor NO MATTER WHAT, Forgiving the tresspasses against us, and realizing that hating the sin should not mean to hate the person. Love your neighbor christians, pray for ourselves as a whole, realizing god is greater then us all and thinks higher then any human being. There is a reason for everything. One thing science cant explain is the concept of faith. FAITH being key word. This time we live in was told many years ago, Im not sure there is an explination for that?

John 15:18-21

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you… If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you… because they do not know Him who sent Me.”

Prepare to be persecuted as christians. But look forward to this world to pass and it will be a great day for us all when the messiah returns.
Do not persecute atheist, Love all people not religion. Be more spiritual in christ not religion. Keep saying our prayers 🙂

Like a small neive child who keeps asking why why why and your parents finaly yells because I said so and in time it will all make sense! Now is the times for christians that is is making sense for doing what there father told them too.

I will not deny god before any man because he is real. In time keep your faith, no matter what you believe in. God will surly give those who do not want him a place without him.
