Religion, specifically Christianity, is a cornerstone in the foundation of Western Society.
Religion is a way we can express ideas, philosophy, and morality.
You cannot have a fruitful society without religion, look at the USSR for example.
Atheism often ignores this aspect of religion and only focuses on "muh science", without understanding the politcal and social impact it has.
This is most likely due to said atheist not having regular social contact outside certain instances.
They were never exposed to the positives of religion, because they lock themselves in their room all day.
Therefore, they tend to focus on the self indulgent part of their belief system, instead of the good of the whole.
This then leads to thoughts such as "Muh philosophy, muh star dust, muh 4 billion years".
They never got involved with their Church. They never attempted to connect spiritually. They can only focus on what they have been exposed to.
If you're an atheist, not agnostic
but hardcore "There is no God" atheist, Take look at your life.
In the past 6 months have you tried to be proactive and outgoing? Have done anything besides the daily routine and watch children's cartoons?

I fail to see how that is at all relevant to the validity of belief. The prominence of a belief has no correlation with whether the belief itself is true.
There are a lot of ways to express ideas besides religion. It's not necessary.
Atheism has no goals. It cannot lead to anything except "disbelief in god or gods". You would be looking at other ideologies.
As the number of people who believe in a God goes down, the quality of life goes up.
I am having a hard time thinking of a good use of religion for "political impact". Can you list some?
Yeah - most/all atheists are just sad losers who need to experience the real world
It's just that it's positives are just not unique to it and their are alternatives to it that do not have the unnecessary baggage along with it.
You say atheism is a belief system. What pronouncements does it make?
Suck "muh" dick.
A lot of atheists used to be Christian. I used to be.
I used to deliberately pray as a kid and teen when I was going through immense hardships.
This caricature of atheists is about as bad as labeling christians as too stupid to see their way out of religion.
I'm not sure if you're doing it here, but figured I'd bring it up anyways; there is no distinction between atheist and agnostic.
Define hardcore.
Yeah, pretty successfully too.
>Implying religion is only a belief system.
>Implying I said Christianity was true.>Implying I said any religion was true.>Implying I said I believed in a religion.
Okay? Did I ever say it was the only way to express ideas and values? It's just one of the many ways, and that's important.
Inaction is action. Atheism does not mean you will be a Communists state, but the prevalence of Atheism allows the rise of Communism to happen easier.
It's like AIDS. AIDS doesn't kill you, it just weaken's your immune system to allow a common cold to kill you.
Ayy lmao, got any numbers to back that up? History would disagree with you.
Russia.
Name one system that has done a better job of promoting and keeping together nuclear family than religion
That higher deities or powers do not exist. No existing afterlife.
10/10 rebuttal, really fired my neurons.
Proving the point I was saying earlier.
I bet you didn't attend Church because you wanted to.
I bet you never prayed unless your were sad or wanted something.
You never tried to connect spiritually to others.
It was just there in your life, you didn't actively participate. It was crutch for your problems, but then you ignored it when things got better.
Generalizations are based on prominent facts and behaviors.

There is no implying. I explicitly said I failed to see how your first point was at all relevant.What else is it?
Why is that important?
2. Atheism is not political.
That would imply that there is something about atheism that leads to communism...which you said wasn't your argument.
It's simple really. Are there more atheists in America, France, Canada, Sweden, and Britain than there were 50 years ago? Yes. Is medicine better than it was 50 years ago? Yes. Duh.
What about it?
Here, I'll respond like you would>Implying I give a shit about nuclear family>Implying nuclear family is the only metric for positivity
Where did you get this pronouncement?
You misunderstood if you think that proves your point. When I said I prayed during immense hardships, it was because at the time, I truly believed he was real.
But going to church because you want to isn't what defines being a "true christian" or whatever your point is you are trying to make.
I actually said the Lord's prayer every night.
Still, since when is it considered bad to pray when you are sad?
I mean, your original post didn't seem pretty serious but it just seems like you are trying to argue for the sake of getting a rise out of people.
I can't do the impossible.
I am tired of correcting your false narrative of my sooooooo
First, show me some facts then that the majority of atheists are depressed losers.
Maybe you should something besides a google search to see how the words are actually used.
Agnosticism as some sort of third way is just a bullshit label closeted atheists/theists use to avoid having to defend their beliefs.
atheists/theists
You're convinced or your not. It's a binary question. Believe or not believe.
And that has fuck all to do with whether I am "proactive".
Please refer to and read the previous posts in this thread before typing.
>Why is it important that people find outlets to express themselves through
especially those that support a nuclear family.
Top fucking kek
>Implying there's a correlation.
More blacks are on welfare than than 50 years ago, and computers are better than they were 50 years ago. Obviously we need to oppress blacks through the welfare state more in order to get better computers.
It's a christian nation now, instead of an atheist nation like is was during the Cold War era.
Nice non-argument, got any facts with you?
Everyone who claims to be an atheist.
Proving my point further. You only relied on religion to focus on the negatives, never the positives.
But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! John 15:7 NLT
Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7,8 NLT
For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. Psalm 66:17 NLT
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22 NIVQuote
QuoteBut going to church because you want to isn't what defines being a "true christian" or whatever your point is you are trying to make.Someone's defensive about their beliefs. Does getting reminded about you old religion trigger you?
lmao, a child's prayer is not prayer. That's something to get your 3 year old interested.
It's not, and I never said it was. Turn off your projector. It's only bad if you pray only when you're sad and want something from God.
It's a "I'm an edgy lefty, so if someone disagrees with me, they're a troll!11!!!!" episode. They should really stop showing reruns.
>He thinks this means a literal connection
Stop watching anime, it's warped your perspective. Go outside an talk to people in the sunlight, it's quite fun.
So you don't deny that you only used religion for a crutch during bad times then abandoned it when it was over? Okay.
This is most likely due to said atheist not having regular social contact outside certain instances. They were never exposed to the positives of religion, because they lock themselves in their room all day. Therefore, they tend to focus on the self indulgent part of their belief system,
>It's a "Dictionary definitions aren't real definitions, only my personal definitions are" episode.
Let me guess, you also think racism is defined as prejudice plus power?
"This word is just for this type of person, or this completely other different type of person. It's not a real thing!"
ayy lmao
kek
You must be a middle-schooler
if you think an answer to a question that grandiose is just a simple yes or no.
