Quote by: HelioPrime  I've noticed a trend. Please correct me if I'm wrong but lets start with a little back story:
For over a thousand years people lived in parts of the world as christians. While they didn't always agree many of the concepts have remained the same. One of those is unbelievers go to hell.
Fast forward to present day and suddenly people have a problem with this. The problem is that if God was real and loving then he wouldn't send people do hell, so hence God must not exist.
Atheist (secular non theists) seem to have a common ideal, they either want to be dead and thats it, or go to hell. Their logic appears like this:
1) God doesn't exist, everyone just dies
2) There is a low possibility God could exist, in which case he should be just and equally loving so everyone goes to heaven. In which case we should all be atheists.
3) God sends unbelievers the hell. He is clearly uncaring and unjust so every rational person should WANT to be an atheist and go to hell just get away from that God.
So: To (secular non theists) First would you prefer that term? And second agree or disagree with my summary of your opinions? |
I don't believe there is a god out there that resembles the god of any religion on earth so I have no problem tempting people to hell--er.. atheism.
