Non Believers in Religious Section

Religion is a very diverse topic. Another word for "religion" could be "belief system" which is why so many people flock to this section. I am a Satanist, Wiccan, Atheist, Hindu (or whatever). I come here to seek some sort of answers. I mean, what are religious people doing in the religious section if they can't even answer the most simple of religious questions? I'm not one to go out and bash other peoples beliefs, but I like discussing them on here. It helps me learn about myself and other people. There are decent people on both the religious and sacreligious sides of the fence, and there are also some ridiculously ignorant people as well. I think thats why most of us would come into the religious section on here.

Ha, ha I have seen it on other sites as well. One site I'm on, one Atheist only posts topics making fun of Christians and Christianity. It's as if they can convert us from our beliefs. They are like Atheist Evangelists. I honestly don't know very many people who gave up a true relationship with the Lord to be an Atheist. In fact, I have never met a single person. I was born and raised Atheist. I have been on both sides of the fence. And now, every day I live my love for the Lord and my faith in him only grows stronger as also does my desire to grow closer.

It is very simple. They want to turn you away from your faith. If they can get you to say God does not exist, then they would have won. Now there are those who are curious and who are searching, but they are few. So now you know why they turn out to be the first ones that answer the posts. Once they get in, and others that are also atheists and non-believers get in, then they hope to discourage any believers in except for the ministers or those who know their beliefs backwards and forwards, and can quote a bible verse, know where it is in the Bible, what chapter, and what it refers to. The one who comes to mind is Gn-- who is always telling that Abram never existed, I presume because he did not get his picture done in stone, or his business appeared in cuniform in the UR Chaldean Express in ancient Mesopotamia.

Cause they are seeking the truth. They want peace. They are looking for answers that the world can't answer.

maybe they just want to post and don't even bother if their posting is related to the topic or not.

But this is the way to convert them. All believers were non before they were converted. It is for the believers here in MYLOT not to be contradictory and work together to win these souls.

Actually this is quite an interesting thought for sure, but overall haven't we all found that there are many people who are always out there trying to or wanting to find fault with everything whether it be Religion or Politics. Just makes them happy to know that they could be offending someone as well. But personally maybe it is just due to a Bad experience in the past, or not had an experience with God in their life as well.

well just because I dont drive a car doesnt mean I dont have an opinion on driving or cars....and just for clarification what is a "non believer" as you personally define it..Some ppl think that I'M a nonbeliever because I'm not a Christian..but they are wrong..I AM a believer..it just so happens I believe in something OTHER THAN what Christians do

The point of the religious section is to discuss religion. It is not exclusive to religious users. Even us non-religious folks have opinions on religion that we want to share. It's kind of like creationists going in to the evolution section. Just because they don't accept it, doesn't mean they can't talk about it.

I am a believer! I gave up organized Religion many years ago and began to study Yoga and Spirituality. I am a firm believer in God. I am thankful every moment of the Day for the Blessings I receive from God. I see God in every aspect of my Life. Now you tell me whats wrong with that?

I think it would be great if folks could actually discuss religion here. I have tried it in the past. Folks were polite, but we did not discuss much. They just said to be careful or a religion war would start.lol I have seen othere people try the same thing and they either got the same response I got or they were attacked. Right now there is some idiot going around and tagging discussions with childish words that distress some folks. But they do not have the courage to actually write anything of substance. This is the religion section and we should discuss religion. Both the differences and the commonalities. Not how to convert though. That would just blow the whole place up.

Hi, jason1308! I guess they just want to give their opinion of their non dis belief to others. They want other people to know how they truly feel about God and religion. That would be my opinion of why they are in the religious section discussing their point of view.

ufff..im not a Non Believers, i wanna be here and join some of the discussions to learn about others. what are their thoughts about God, but it wont affect me from what i believe in Allah. i would ask the same Question with u Jason and willing to know what other will answer without judging 'em.. ;)

Jason- I am not sure what your religious preference or spiritual beliefs are, but who is to say that because people do not believe what you believe they are non-believers? Do you know just how many "religions" there are in the world? Just in the traditionally recognized world religions there is: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Indiginous/Native Religions, and Islam. Only recently have people started to recognize the broad range of Pagan religions, though in most instances it is still not considered a "World Religion" by most religious scholars. That said, there is a lot more to it then just this. You have sects and denominations within traditions. This makes for a complex diverse world. If you want to get technical there are hundreds if not thousands of faith traditions in the world today. So, why would someone not come to the religion interest of Mylot to discuss such things? I have seen some very interesting discussions in this interest since I joined Mylot. This particular interest is not just for one sect or belief system, but a general area to discuss the multitude of beliefs. You state that you support everyone believing what they wish, so it would make sense for this to be the place for people to share with one another and learn from one another. Namaste-Anora

Non-belief is just as much a religion for some people. I think that religiosity gets up their noses, so they want to argue about it - or they want to bait those who 'believe' into trying to tell them why they should believe. A great many discussions are just not worth the pixels but a few are interesting and worth debating.

An attempt to convert, I assume. By non-believer, you mean the rabid atheists who do not so much have a curiosity about spirituality and faith, so much as want to smash people's beliefs. 'Religion' scares some people. They equate religion to all the horrors carried out by people in the name of a deity or belief system. They cannot seem to understand that a person can believe in something without physical evidence and yet not be a dangerous crazy... and you can be a dangerous crazy coming from the other end. So these scared people try to 'convert' the religious (all religious), try to force them into not believing by throwing questions at them. For some, this actually works. I've known of one Muslim that became an atheist after someone simply said "but there might not be a god." He actually had never even tried to question the idea. For others, it only allows us to solidify our ideas and beliefs. Which makes for failure on the converters' sides. Of course, not every non-believer is here to convert. Not ever atheist is aspiritual (think I just made up a word)... so don't go assuming I'm talking about you, if you happen to be a curious atheist :P And we are all, in one way or another, a non-believer. There's gotta be something you don't believe in, right?

yeah1 you are right..i too have noticed this in this section....but you already have the answer for the question : "everybody has their own choice to believe or not believe"! we cannot stop anything...but we can respond to them! if they start a discussion about not believing,lets go and spread the word! nowadays,many people(especially youth) think that its a fashion to tell that they don't believe in god,religion,etc,...in real life also i see many people like this..
