Thanks for the conversation. Please feel free to reply.
Is it theists or atheists who have committed the worst atrocities in history? Does it matter? And if atheists are not theists, does that mean that they can be just anything? Or nothing?
After years of watching and participating in religious debate, I’ve found 16 common misperceptions that believers have about atheism and atheists.
I can’t speak for all atheists, nor do I believe that all Christians hold these myths, but I do my best to explain and debunk them from my own experience.
16 – We really want to know Jesus and believe in God
15 – We don’t ever experience feelings of awe and wonder from looking at the physical world
14 – We see our criticisms of the Bible as criticisms of God
13 – Our objection to religious proselytizing comes from a fear that you will corrupt our beliefs or make us face our doubts
12 – We reject each and every moral teaching in the Bible
11 – We argue in order to get you to agree with us or to jusify our beliefs
10 – Our beliefs are inherently pragmatic or emotional, and that telling us about the practical or emotional benefits of belief will change our minds
9 – What you call logic is the same thing we refer to as logic
8 – We are monolithic in our philsophical and political beliefs
7 – We view our beliefs the same way your view your beliefs
6 – We are miserable, afraid, and unhappy
5 – We have the same spiritual experiences you have, but deny or suppress them
4 – We became atheists because of some traumatic experience that turned us away from God
3 – We hate God and fear his judgement
2 – We believe that human, animal, and plant life as we know it today came about through random chance
1 – We hate Christians
