The Top 30 Atheist/Agnostic/Skeptic Blogs

Hey, you left out Unreasonable Faith! Oh wait…

But seriously, there’s also Enemy Combatant Trailmix Society (blog by Tiana, She Of The Casey Luskin Incident). I also enjoy The Urban Farmhouse, and Letters From Abroad (an ex-mo blog). Stupid Evil Bastard is also quite good. There are so many…

I second the recommendation for Atheist Revolution. It really is a top quality blog.

I also really like to read:

Thanks for the list, Daniel! I will be sure to check out some of those which I had not previously encountered.

…made them think and reconsider how silly and retarded their beliefs are.

I can’t imagine that this would help the process along.

Thanks for the list. Several here I haven’t seen.

A second vote for “Atheist Revolution”. One of my top 5.

Another good one not on the list:

“…made them think and reconsider how silly and retarded their beliefs are. ”

elemenope:I can’t imagine that this would help the process along.

mark: Its a lot more civilized and kinder than believing and expressing the idea that billions of humans and specifically children are going to burn in hell for eternity for not believing in Jesus when they were never ever exposed to the concept of a Jesus in the first place.

If the holy rollers cant stand the heat well then they should stop making exclusive claims they cant even provide a decent argument for. Until them I dont give a f#ck about thier feelings in the larger scheme of things.

Personal Failure, I like your quote:

“I’m an atheist and I have cookies! Delicious cookies”

What makes one atheist blog better than another?

Why does it catch your attention?

Its not a blog but Pat Condell is a LEGEND for reason

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=patcondell&view=videos

There’s loads of them (us, that is) over at Planet Atheism and on Mojoey’s atheist blogroll.

Vorjack has a blog of his own?

Well blow me down.

*adds to bookmarks**

Oh, wait, is vjack vorjack? Or is that just coincidence?

Also, to toss one anecdote into the mix:

Mockery of my beliefs led to me entrenching, just as nope points out. However, my version of entrenchment led to me doing ever more study to defend my beliefs. That study led directly to my de-conversion.

You never really know what will work.

You never really know what will work.

Fair point. I think though that most people retrench emotionally rather than take the (IMO superior) intellectual road of searching for better justifications that you did.

Also, I’m being a little selfish here. I don’t like reading/hearing insults regarding people’s beliefs because those insults make *me* cringe. There’s something about it that makes me deeply uncomfortable, and want to defend whoever is the target almost out of reflex. It’s not logical, but there it is.

Wow, I’ve got some more reading to do. I would also suggest these:

@ Philip

True, there are a lot of people who just like to yell. Period.

However, that shouldn’t be a serious obstacle to determined, persistant pursuit of answers.

Ignorant atheists or theists does not an argument make.

@ Phillip

” Perhaps it’s in part who you ask? As often as you can find a believer who has no idea why they believe what they believe and can’t answer a decent question, a believer will run into an atheist who can’t either.”

mark: But thier is a difference between an atheist who says I have seen no evidence of god and therefore I dont believe and a believer who says not only is thier a god but out of all of the thousands my concept of god is the only one that is correct.

When you ask them what proof they have or if they can give an argument for why they believe in god. The only case they can make is an emotional case. Somewhere in thier argument they end up stating how moral and just thier god is.

When you ask them a specific question such as if god is moral and just then exactly why would god give instructions on how to sell ones daughter into slavery they pretend like they cannot read.

Lastly believers are the ones making extrodinary claims and an extrodinary claim at least should have a decent argument if not extrodinary proof to go along with those claims.

“I’ll assert that there are many many many more religious folks with no idea what their religion is about than there are atheists who can’t explain why they don’t believe in god/s.”

mark: Ditto. Most christians I know havent event read 1/4 of the bible and yet only thier fantastic beliefs could possible be true.

christians should get the exact same treatment they give to other non christian believers.

that’s my friend Jake’s blog.

mine is kind of atheisty also. but more just random drunken rants and music

14. Mid-West Humanists

That one threw me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the term “Mid-West applied to any country but the U.S.

Someday I’ll make the list!

Thanks Ken, always interesting to see what atheists in the rest of the world have to say.

I’ve always wanted to travel to New Zealand. Back when I was still religious, people in my religion would brag that you could go anywhere in the world and be assured of a place to stay, since you could call on the hospitality of any of the brethren.

We need an atheist version of that. :)

@ TY

“I defy you to present any evidence that this equality you assert is actually the case.”

I can only speak anecdotally in the same way that you can only speak anecdotally on this topic. If there is a study or stats then so be it but i don’t know any so i can only speak from what i’ve experienced and that’s what i’ve experienced.

@mark

First off i’d like to say i’m very much enjoying our discourse.

“Christians disrespect and mock people from different denominations and religions all of the time.”

It’s true, doesn’t make it right but it’s true. It actually speaks to the Golden Rule if you will. Treat others as you would like to be treated so mabye the name calling Christians are asking for it and that’s why they get it.

All i know is that name calling is not very loving and Jeues calls us to love everyone so, i don’t know where they get it.

I only read a couple of atheist blogs other than this one, I don’t know how you people have time to keep up with all these blogs! One of the others I read that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is An Apostate’s Chapel.

I’ll try to get around to checking out some of the others listed here.

Elemenope, you get to make that comparison after the first time an atheist knocks on your door at 8am Saturday morning to convince you that you will be killed by god at Armageddon if you don’t agree to take their literature.

I’m about as much of an aggressive jerk as any atheist is, and I’ll never street evangelize to you. I’ll never claim that you deserve to be tortured for eternity for disagreeing with me. I’ll never try to pass laws legislating my brand of morality. And, for Cthulu’s sake, I’ll never go trolling blogs and forums dedicated to Christian conversation looking to pick a fight.

*Looks around*

Can’t say the same for the Christian folks, sorry.

“does the fact that you cannot prove that a god (who may or may not want to reveal him/her self to humans assuming that a god figure is an infinite being) doesn’t exist any more than i can prove that he does exist matter?”

Inability to prove a negative is never evidence.

Sorry.

I’ll never try to pass laws legislating my brand of morality.

I’ll give you the rest, but not this one. A legislative proclivity for *avoiding* morals-based restrictions is legislating a particular moral viewpoint. (One, being a libertarian, I happen to agree with, BTW.) There is a decent countervailing moral argument that states that if someone is doing something wrong and you have the power to stop it, you have a duty to use that power in order to prevent or punish the wrong act.

By preventing legislation that allows the use of such power (like, for example, the power of the state to tax, punish, prevent, regulate, etc.), you are writing your legislative viewpoint at the exclusion of another. All you can really claim is that your moral standards of acceptability are different than the average Christian; you can’t claim that you have a preference that you don’t believe should be reflected in the law. You seek simply to allow some thing that they wish to disallow; allowing a behavior has as much moral consequence as disallowing the same insofar as there is a disagreement about whether allowing an act or preventing it is the more moral course.

@ null

Exactly, that is my point. Can’t prove it one way or another.

@Elemenope

“I’ll give you the rest, but not this one. A legislative proclivity for *avoiding* morals-based restrictions is legislating a particular moral viewpoint.”

I do agree that your general viewpoint is correct in saying for example allowing gay marriage you are in passing laws for your own brand of morality. The real difference is in the general nature of ‘laws’ that religions wish to be in place. These can best be described as I don’t agree with it therefore nobody should be allowed to do it compared to it’s allowed but isn’t mandatory. So the key part is liberal vs. religious viewpoints and not atheist vs. religious view points. It could be argued that atheists have a more liberal viewpoint in general but it’s not a requirement.

So my real disagreement is from a purely liberal viewpoint i.e. yep you may disagree but I’m not forcing you to do it. Now of course there are certain grey areas, for example not having Sunday as a rest day makes it much more difficult for believers to follow there own faith — most people need a job. Another example is the great debate over teaching ID (or god as the creator by the back door) vs. evolution. Is this is case of morals or maybe just good sense?

I am thrilled to be considered among such impressive company. Over the past few years, we have witnessed an explosion of growth in the atheist blogosphere. Best of all, I think we’ve also seen significant improvements in quality. Congratulations to everyone who has been a part of this positive development!

I’d like to second Norman Doering’s request for the criteria used to decide popularity. Knowing what makes some blogs more popular than others would help the rest of us make our writing more relevant to readers.

What catches your eye, what engages your interest and makes you want to follow one blog over another?

Daniel ,

Thanks for including my blog in your list! I’ll definitely post the graphic in my sidebar.

My favorite is

and there is also

The title is a little over the top, but the author is literate and thoughtful and will suffer fools gladly.

Well, in yet another vain effort to toot my own horn, I’m one of the few African Americans who’s an atheist who runs a website. That makes me rarer than water turning into wine.

My site is:

http://www.threeriversonline.com

It’s mostly about politics but atheism comes up quite a bit.

Also please check out the Acid Jazz Channel (attempt at an online music/politics channel) at the top of the site which features best bits from the likes of Harris, Hitchens and Dawkins.

I’d add Mano Singham’s blog to the list. http://blog.case.edu/singham/.

Professor Singham, a physicist and defender of evolution, writes on science, history and philosophy of science, religion, politics, the media, education, learning, books, and films and has written several essays exploring belief, explaining how evolution works, etc. His writing lucid, educational and thought-provoking and he takes great care to not only follow the rules of logic but to explain them to his readers.

His book, “The Case of God v. Darwin: Evolution, Religion, and the Establishment Clause” will be published later this year.

Philip, I once had a fever induced dream that I was being chased by gigantic eye boogers (this is not a joke). It was so vivid in my feverish state, that I actually ran down the street in my underwear at 3am trying to escape. Fortunately, I was 11 at the time, so unlikely to be arrested for indecent exposure.

Does that mean that giant eye boogers exist, and mean us harm?

Your subjective personal experiences mean diddly squat when determining what is real and what isn’t. All it means is that you ‘felt’ like something was real once. If that is the new criteria for determining fact, then literally everything is true, since at one point surely someone somewhere believed it.

Now, you are free to believe anything you like. But it seems silly to think that with only your personal experience as evidence anyone else will buy it.

And that’s not even taking into account that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you came on this blog to let everyone know that you saw a black dog chasing a white cat down the street, you’d probably get very few skeptics. Black dogs exist. White cats exist. Dogs chase cats. Nothing in your claim is extraordinary.

If you claimed you saw a green cat chasing a purple dog, you might be asked for evidence, since those things are less likely. But even a simple photograph or second witness would likely be enough, since we can imagine someone painting a cat and dog as a prank, and the angry cat maybe chasing the dog away. It’s less likely than the first, but not totally outside of our experience.

You see, it scales up. The more extraordinary the claim, the greater the evidence a skeptical mind will require.

But you are claiming that an eternal and uncreated being personally created the entire universe which is a truly extraordinary claim. We’ve never seen any evidence that any gods exist, much less this specific one you pray to. There is no evidence that the universe requires a creator. There is no evidence of purposeful design in the universe. In fact, the universe looks pretty much exactly like we’d expect it to look if it was just all one big mostly random mess.

And the only evidence you put forth is that you have a strong feeling it’s true, coupled with some personal and untestable experiences.

Why do you feel this is a compelling argument to make?

“The complexity of our planet, atmosphere, central nervous system and how things interact speaks to me of design over random but i think thats an issue with the lense in which we view the world.”

All of which have naturalistic explanations. None of which are different from what we’d expect based on our understanding of the universe. And understanding that does not include nor require supernatural agencies to function. Arguments from incredulity don’t carry much water.

“So why is my experience which has not only been repeated for me but thousands of other people not count? Because you cannot determine the stimuli?”

Nope. It has nothing to do with ‘determining the stimuli’. It is because those experiences have no testability, make no falsifiable claims, and have no predictive powers. They are, to be honest, useless for determining what the facts are. If they’re good enough for you, fine. I already said that. But you have to recognize that for skeptics, which is what the large percentage of atheists are, they are not compelling in the slightest.

Lots of people have believed lots of things. Thousands of them. Thousands sacrificed to Zeus, who had oracles who claimed to hear his voice directly. Is that compelling evidence to you that Zeus is true? Of course it isn’t, and it shouldn’t be. The problem is that you fail to apply that same healthy skepticism to your own beliefs.

But you keep inserting these claims into conversations, which means one of two things. Either you are beginning to question your beliefs, and are using us as a sounding board to test this one. Or two, you really do believe that your personal subjective feelings make a compelling argument that has some likelihood of changing an atheists mind.

If it’s the former, keep it up. I’ve been there. The world is a marvelous place once you free yourself from bondage to superstition.

If it’s the later, I fear you are wasting your time. If those arguments actually worked, most of us would still be theists.

@ ty

Sorry to disappont but I’m not questioning. My faith is based on my relationship with God.

What I do find is for me it’s hard to find a good discussion and ifbi don’t continue to challenge my beliefs and test them I’m being irresponsible. To not look at your beliefs is silly i’m just comfortable with a different critera. But thank you for your thoughts I need them to keep my faith real and vibrant.

My hope is not to convert you but just to have good exchange.

sorry for the multi posts, my internet has been cutting out and i didn’t realize that i had posted the thought already.

@Ty

as i read my last response i don’t think i explained enough of why i’m here. i’m here to learn. for me to ignorant of what other believe is irresponsible. So i want to learn what other think and believe. I haven’t had interactions with people like you and the others here who can answer my questions so i’m very intrigued.

To that end if i become or have become a bother or annoyance please tell me and i’ll stop. this is your space and you are all gracious to let me be here and i don’t want to abuse that. My hope is to be gracious, respectful, and not abusive or aggressive and if that’s not how i’m coming across tell me and i’ll do my best to change.

If you’ll indulge one last question i do have one.

“It is because those experiences have no testability, make no falsifiable claims, and have no predictive powers.”

so what would have to happen for an experience with God to be real in your terms? Would a number of people both believers and not seeing, touching and hearing God count? I’m hoping to understand what makes things real for something like yourself so i can speak about my faith and God in your terms and in ways you will respect, if that is possible.

As a Christian I was confidently state that many parts of the Bible AREN’T meant to be taken literally. That’s how people communicated their history back then, with stories. That doesn’t lessen its message or impact.

“herald7, if it isn’t to be taken literally, why DO so many? Furthermore, HOW are we to interpret it? Did you get a magic decoder ring? Isn’t it a much more reasonable explanation that they are fairytales just like the Greek and Roman myths (or Norse,or take your pick really)? And bloody inaccurate tales too, not to mention misogynistic, slavery endorsing, and full of hate. If you want to live your life, try doing it without the bible as a guide, but rather your conscience as a thoughtful and loving human being. :)”

Many Christians do take it literally, but many do not. You can’t generalize Christians, any more than you can generalize athiests. ;)

And the ones that don’t take the Bible literally realize that the bad stuff in the Bible is stuff of an ancient world and should not be imitated now. The Bible also says to love thy neighbor and your enemies. It also bashes the upper classes for oppressing the common people. That is where the Bible truly shines. :)

My blog is pretty new… but I hope people check it out and like it! http://zackfordblogs.wordpress.com

… oops that was just for herald7

@herald7

You think all religions are equal yet have stated that:

“In addition, our culture’s idea of what makes a “thoughtful, loving human being” originally came from the Jewish and Christian beliefs laid down in the Torah and the Bible.”

That does not make me assume that you believe that all religions or lack of religion are equal. Please explain what you meant by the comment. Would ‘our’ culture not support the idea of a thoughtful human being of it was not for Jewish and Christian beliefs?

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for including me in the list. I was away when it came out, but it was a nice surprise to come home to.

As much as I hesitate to use Wikipedia as a source, lol, this is good for explaining my statement in a pinch:

“Judeo–Christian (sometimes written as Judaeo–Christian) is a term used to describe the body of concepts and values which are thought to be held in common by Judaism and Christianity, and considered, often along with classical Greco-Roman civilization, a fundamental basis for Western legal codes and moral values.”

Nice list, gonna add most of these to my favorites. I too am a blogger and an Atheist (and former Christian)…but im the new kid on the block…

my site is at http://ragingrev.com

and, my site!
IntolerantFaith.com

“i still don’t understand…the unreasonableness of Jesus’ commands (for example, if a wicked person sues you give all that you have )…”

Jesus was just trying to say don’t seek huge revenge on someone who has wronged you. To be humble, be the bigger person. It’s similar to turn the other cheek.

Could http://www.badpsychics.co.uk be added to the list? Probably the biggest UK skeptics site.

For all those Atheists out there,

Please believe there is God.The true & only God,that is the God of Moses,Abraham,Jesus(real) & Mohammad.Don’t believe those ‘Big bang theories’.Those theories are only meant to mislead you from the right path.Think again,if the beginning of the Universe happens in a big bang,then everything will be in pieces,not what you see around you right now,beautiful scenaries & beautiful people.The ‘big bang’ will only happens at the end of the world where everything will be destroyed.God muticulately create the heavens and the earth in six days.Then he rest on his Arasy.How come a big bang create a such a complex living things & universe with its complex systems.Look at your fingers.Can a big bang create such beautiful fingers.A ’small bang’(dynamite )might have blown your head off.

sierrafaith1,
How thoughtfull of you.May God shows you the right path.

Sorry Francesc,
I will like to correct this mistake
[Or Richard Dawkins must have witnessed when men becomes apes??] to
[Or Richard Dawkins must have witnessed when ape becomes men??

Kodie,
[@Solomon: “I talk in simple English”No, you really don’t.]
Is this the only thing you have to say?
Are you afraid to elaborate?
If my God is telling me lies what you see around you,including yourself is also lies,not real.

I just want to say : Naughty-Nun-Fun. Cum and get me boys !

Dear Francesc,

All the books or knowledge on science, chemistry or biology that you are suggesting me indeed contain
surplus of information which men have painstakingly search or compiled.But God knows more than that.
He create us and the Universe.He knows everything,the things you see or cannot see.The
things that are real or hidden.But nothing can surpassed Gods words that is the Qoran.

[No one gave me life. Why should be a “who”? Life is “only” chemical processes working together.]

What??…Do I hear it right? No one gave you life??!!
Have you or anybody ever wonder or think how they came about to be alive?Is it a dream or is it real.
A black man may ask…..Hey..maan…who brought me here maan…I don’t want to be in this hectic world maan…
I just want to be coool…maan..Everybody and in some parts of their life would think of this,how they came about
to exists. Earlier you said…
[“does this wondrous intricate creation around you will simply pop itself?”
Yes]
You said Yes.If youre not just only speaking can your ice-cream just pop itself?
That’s where the question arise, who prepare my ice-cream?
That also pose the question who gave me life?
Its not wise or smart to say why there should be a “who”.
And what nonsense life is only chemical processes working together.
Bring me the hydrochloric acid,mix it with some gel,a spice of sodium chloride,wow..now it
have grown into a jelly blob..But wait…Can it just ‘only’ crawl on it’s belly?

[They have a more decent answer because they agree with your fairy tales. Great argument.]
If they were all fairy tales then I’am not here to tell them.

Iliad are only epic poems on the Trojan wars,though claim as the masterpiece in Greek Literature,
but depict heroic & timeless themes.It also talk about Gods, Zeus and its familys.Even though
its writings is way behind Mohammads periods but its contents is way behind the truths contain in the Qoran.

[The scientific and logic part… bullshit. Give me an example of a thing mohammad said -and it’s true-
in the Qoran that we can’t find in previous philosophers/scientists.]

Theres plenty and one of it says God creates everything, and that includes your Shitt !!!
Can you find anything close to it in the previous philosophers/scientists Francesc?? CAN YOU???

[No, it’s not. Evil deeds are result of our humankind and natural causes.]
Do you claim that raping,robbery,treachery,genocide are results of mankind & natural causes?
Are you on their side?They should get themselves a job rather than robbing,get themselve a wife
rather than raping & stop killing innocent women or children for their political or personal interests.

[You can’t use the existence of god to prove the creation and the creation to prove the existence of god;
I’m pretty sure that’s not the logic Mohammad explained to you in the Qoran.]
I can also imply it this way;
You can’t use the existence of the Carpenter to prove that Table creation and the Table creation
to prove the existense of the Carpenter.Now does that make sense?

[They are a lot of unexisting things you can’t imagine.]…(is this again the slip of your mind?)
Of course..how can you imagine things that does not exists.I could understand that.
But God, the purest,the highest,exists, yet nobody can imagine what he’s like, even the Prophet
who have met him.Caught you again….
Solomon:2 vs Francesc:nil (just for humour)
God is the most and the very most intelligent Francesc.If Gods image is depicted like those idols you see
around, or it might even be Thor or Zeus,…not forgetting Ra(sorry Ra, I almost miss you),
someone may have put a piece of shit on his nose, and he will not be able to wipe it out.
And one more thing,no one or artist came across their mind to depict a potrait of Mohammad during his lifetime,
& if that happens, his enemies might have set on fire or stepped on his photos today.

First you imply that previous species have extinct.
Then you say the previous species does not dissapear!
[But it’s not necessary for a previous specie to dissapear].
And now youre saying it’s not necessarry for them to dassapear!!
Which one is final Francesc?
Am I the one who fails to understands ones slip of the mind OR
are you the one who have become inconsistent with your uncoach views?

If your ancestors is the ape Francesc,why have your ancestors forgets to fuck their ‘wifes’
front to front?Oh…nevermind,they may prefer what have been the practice of other or all
of their animal friends don’t they?And do the humans have forgotten how to use their feets
to hold things or put their food into their mouth?Animals will always be animals don’t they.
And why other animals does not evolve into human?Why only choose the ape?
You may probably answer the ape is much close in appearance with human.
Is that so difficult for God to create, an animal which looks so close to human?

[But that’s a childish argument you are doing here. The fact that his image has not been crafted doesn’t
mean that the idea of your God wasn’t created by human minds.]

Let me see…how about start imagining God with the ‘ nose’ I presumed.Is that what you mean?
You can imagine anything you like, but not the slightest is equivalent to God.

[If he want recognition he should have offered me proofs, or have done me a religious fundie, without the
ability to use logic. I’m mind-opened, when he speaks to me I will answer his call.]

Who are we Francesc to make the rules around here.We are no more disdain than the dust compared to God.
It’s already too fortunate God supply us with oxygen.God’s gifts are aplenty.If all the water in the seas & the oceans were ink,
and another world of sea water is added,it would still not enough to write the amount of Gods gift .
Even in a country,or community or institution we are
subjected to certain rules & regulations.This is the kingdom of God were talking about.It should run according to his system.
Yes you may have proof about the existence of the functionless christian God, Zeus, Thor or Ra.
Do you expect Zeus, Thor or Ra to create the Universe,to run its systems.They can’t even create themselves.They
are motionless idols created or crafted by men.What a silly God one would depend upon.
Allah address himself to humans through his messenger Mohammad.Is’nt that enough of proof or religious fundie?
I don’t thing a King would go through that rigorous details as in the Qoran to address his subjects.
But God laid it all down…For US,and for YOU!

Now do I sound like a fundamental religious fundie or a troll having fun.(have you anything to say Jabster?)

We have been so much indulge in a heated argument Francesc.Let me tell you, truth will always resurface.Its
in the system,like the earths movement,the laws of gravity,which will always fits regardless time or space.We
cannot challenge it.And we can’t find any contradictions.This argument is not about who wins or who lose.It’s all
about finding the true path.Try to find Gods path.He will answer your call or prayer if you exercice a little bit patience.

Now let me tell the brighter side of it to cheer everybody up.Today I like to tell a little bit about heaven.
The inhabitants of heaven will be dressed in green thin or thick silk.They will be circulated with glasses
and jars containing the water from the spring call “salsabil”.The water is whitish in color & have an excellent taste,
They are shaded by the trees of heaven which bears fruits which is easy & convenient to pluck.And below them
flows a river.There are four rivers,the river of milk,wine(non-intoxicated),honey and non-salty taste.
They will be surrounded by forever young ‘Bidadari” or beautiful young women.Thats for all in these session.
More of these stories will come later

I will off on weekends,see in another 2 days.

Thanks for this website. I view many of these blogs and wanted to submit my blog to you for consideration. Any comments to help improve it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Francesc,

Today I can only answer the other part of your queries,the rest God willing I’ll try to finish it off some other time.

{[Have you or anybody ever wonder or think how they came about to be alive?]
Part of it is called “abiogenesys”. It’s still far from being the final answer, but science is working on finding it.}

Abiogenesis, or origin of life, is just the study of how life on Earth could have arisen from inanimate matter.
And they won’t find the answer they are trying to work out “lets say give them a billion years”than
accepting the answer that God had laid down.
You can borrow any word from abiogenesys to aborigenys or whatsoever,but the bottomline it will
still poses the ultimate question,who gave every living creature ‘LIFE’,whether it’s a microbe,a micro-organism,
a germ, a bacteria,a virus or any living things from the smallest to the biggest & that includes the angels & the Satans.
The answere is God.God gave them life when he puts the “Roh” into every dead body.And you will even wonder to
know that in every, yes every living soul there is a ‘being’ that is always on guard to that living soul.That
being is Gods angels.So be aware, someone is eyeing on you.

[Can your God just pop itself? Who created your God? I suppose your answer is that God existed always.
My answer is the universe existed “always” in some form.
Or should I pray GGod, who created God? Because anything come from nothing, ya know.]

Oh my…Ahh…That is difficult #@*!….No….just kidding.The answer is very simple Francesc.
That’s the speciality of God.
I think I have told you a few times and I bet you still remember that
“God is nothing what you see or what your mind can imagine or thought of. God is different from everything or anything.”
So you cannot compare the existence of God with the existence of other things.God exists before the existence
of the Universe or anything else.And the Universe will not existed ‘always’.It has a beginning & it will have its end.
The beginning of the Universe is when God builds it and the end of the
Universe is the ‘Kiamath’ where everything will be destroyed and that includes his angels except Allah.Allah existed on his own.
Theres no beginning & no end to Allah’s existence.Now its difficult…..ain’t it.Gods different from everything &
anything.I’ve said it earlier Francesc.You can’t imagine it…..

[I agree, the problem here is who has the truth? Me, you or christians?]
If you agree,neither you nor the Christians have the absolute truth.
Only God has the truth.And I am with God.And to know what is truth is for sure truth
will not contradict.
[My answer is the universe existed “always” in some form.]
There again you can’t answer in what form it existed.Humans are very weak in every aspects
compared to God.They cannot grasp let say a minute fraction of Gods knowledge.Thats why God
told them as in the Qoran.

[Solomon:2 vs Francesc:nil (just for humour)]
Lol, that’s your opinion, I don’t agree.

Ahh…I don’t have to comment on this.

[They will be surrounded by forever young ‘Bidadari” or beautiful young women]
I always have asked myself if those “Bidadari” were humans, with free will, or not. Can they choose his partner?
What happens with your wife when she dies, how is her heaven?

In heavens each man is granted with 72 bidadari’s.Not to say the bidadari’s can chose their partner,every bidadari
will be full of love to this one man.And the man can choose which bidadari he wants to be with(I will choose all at one time)
What will happen to our wife or wives?Women may happen to have more than one husband at the same or different time on earth.
If she is destined to heaven she will choose only one of their best husband to be with.
Men also may have happen to have more than one wife on earth.In heaven he can be with any of their wives whom
chooses to be with him plus the bidadari’s.And also sshh…let me whisper..in heaven men have the sex drive equivalet
to 70 normal men on earth..sshh..
While bidadari are women God creates specially for men in heaven & of course they should be human.
And before you ask,all that I have told you is Prophet Mohammads words,not mine.

Francesc I think all this while you have been turning & twisting around with your views and questions
hoping to find loopholes or contradictions in my(let say it God’s) views.I bet you can find any.You
are just wasting your time & others.But if you did’nt know or want to know or did’nt know yet its ok.
Get back to truth Francesc,to God’s path.Anyway we are all humans,brothers.
I can’t bear to know any of our brothers burned in hell.You know what is hell Francesc?It is ‘Fire’ which is very Hot.
But if you still deny, then it’s true what God says “And they will produce offsprings which will become defiant & even more infidel”

Good News for you my friend.

ALMIGHTY GOD LOVES YOU with an EVERLASTING, UNFAILING AND UNCONDITIONALLY COMMITTED LOVE FOR YOU. There is only one such God (Just One True Living God over and above all). Around 2000 years ago this God became a man. His name is Jesus. He is also called Christ which means he freely gives you never ending life and makes you part of his body if you believe in him. He also says that a person who believes in him will not be suffer any condemnation. Everyone who believes in God Jesus is eternally safe and absolutely secure as part of his own body. His/Her destiny is changed forever; He/She passes from death to life irrevocably, unchangeably, eternally. Nothing present or things to come will separate the person from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our God, the moment He/She believes in Christ for this everlasting life. This is the promise of God Jesus, for he says ‘whosoever believes in me shall never perish, but have everlasting life’. ‘Believing in Jesus’ MEANS ‘Believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God’. Will you believe in Jesus alone for this everlasting life and thus escape this impeding doom?

What is the Gospel (Good News, Objectively factual, a real event 2000 years ago)?
This very same Jesus who is Christ, the Son of God, the savior of the world, saved us (the world/human race) by dying on the cross for our sins, he was buried, and he rose again from the dead on the third day, and seen of six groups of people and individuals. (500 people at one time, most of whom were alive when 1 Corinthians 15’s gospel reminder was written.).
What does it mean?
2 Corinthians 5: 19 In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation.
Which means: God, in Christ, was reconciling (receiving back into favor) the entire world (the entire human race) by not imputing (not counting our sins unto us). To whom did he count our sins to? On Christ, The Lamb of God, His Own Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who died on the cross for our sins 2000 years ago, around 30 AD. This is the only message of reconciliation. This is God’s doing. He alone did all to save us. He saved us, yes all of us. Our Salvation is a done thing. Jesus actually, really, factually saved us, for he said on the cross, ‘IT IS FINISHED’. He in fact saved us, and made us heirs to eternal life. Our salvation is an accomplished fact already. He saved us so that now we can freely (without any cost to us) enter heaven. This free gift is on us, upon us, for us, to us right now. So that without fear of death WE can freely (without any cost to us, but at the cost of the death of Son of God) joyfully enter heaven. Jesus has perfected us by the sacrifice of his physical body through death, for 2000 years ago, the Human Race has been made Holy through the sacrifice of the Body of JESUS CHRIST once for all.
Romans 3: 23, 24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrate his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:18 Yes, Adam’s one sin resulted in condemnation upon everyone, even so through one act of righteousness (Jesus’ death) there resulted justification of life upon everyone.

Jesus did all to save us from his Father’s just wrath/anger against our sin. He did it all; our salvation is an accomplished fact. Nothing can be added or removed from it. It is over, 2000 years ago. Because God the Father loved us he did this for us. He is also just and holy and he has to punish our sin, so he sent his Son Jesus, in his love for us, to take our place and He punished Jesus for us. Thus because of Jesus’ Grace (he willingly became one of us, and died for us), and his righteousness (sinlessness/perfection), and because of God the Father’s Grace, we are saved certainly, actually, really, factually, absolutely, infinitely, irrevocably, unchangeably, perfectly, completely, and for all eternity. JESUS HAS DONE ALL FOR OUR SALVATION AND HE HAS BECOME FOR US OUR ALL BEFORE GOD. Because Jesus is God in flesh he can do this for you and me (bear our sins, the wrath of God the Father, die for our sins, and rise again from the dead) He is the only Real God-Man, fully God and fully man, our last and final representative. Jesus did not sin, he died for our sins, rose again 3 days later on Resurrection Sunday around 2000 years ago (Luke 24:34 ‘The Lord is risen indeed’.) Jesus is our only hope. He is our only substitute in all of what God demands from us.
What does Apostle Paul, or Prophet David say?
Romans 4:6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 4:7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 4:8 blessed is the one against whom the Lord will never count sin.”
Non Imputation of our Sin (Not Counting our sin against us, that is putting it into Christ Jesus’ account as he was hanging on the cross) in verses 7 and 8 describes/says/declares the imputation (Counting the Infinite worth of Christ Jesus into our account) of righteousness to us in verse 6.

So the Gospel means this: God the Father forgave us (took away our sins/separated our sins from us /carried it away from us and put it on the account/head of Jesus his son) and not only that, but also at the same time, God the Father declared us righteous by putting into our account the infinite righteousness of Christ. Then His Son died as our substitute, bearing our sins, thus sealing the transaction. This He did around 30 AD, 2000 years ago. In other words God, because he loved us, put to death his own precious Son Jesus because of our sins, and raised his Son Jesus from the dead because we have been justified (Perfected: Forgiven, Not-guilty of any sin, Reconciled to God, and counted infinitely righteous, and thus having full rights and privileges of entering into heaven).

Further References (These references can be found in the bible)
John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. 1 John 2:2: He himself is the atoning sacrifice (turning away God’s wrath) for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world 2 Corinthians 5:19 In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation. 5:20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His plea through us. We plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God!” 5:21 God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God. Hebrews 4:14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. 4:16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help John 3:16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. Colossians 1:15-20 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
God placed the blame for everyone’s (the world/entire human race) sins on Jesus who suffered and died for them. God gave to these same sinners the credit for Jesus’ holiness and righteousness. Jesus took the blame for what we did wrong, and God gave us the credit for what Jesus did right. Jesus is our all; all of what He is, and what He did, is for us. It is not what you do or not do, BUT what Jesus is and did that saved us. This Salvation is all of Grace (Not what we do or don’t do, but what God IS and what HE DID that saved us). Now, my friend, you do not earn or work for this gift; All of what Jesus is and what Jesus did is God’s FREE GIFT upon you. This is the Gospel/Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1: The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes (the Gospel). John 1: To all who RECEIVED/ACCEPTED JESUS (who BELIEVE IN HIM (who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God)), he gave the right to become children of God. Rev 22:7: Jesus said, ‘Behold, I come quickly.’ Jesus says that He is the Christ, the Son of God. He gives everlasting life, and the Holy Spirit to all who believe His statement that He is the Christ, the Son of God. (John 11:25-27, & 20:31)

Prave,
I bet you still have doubts & confusion in your mind regarding religion & that ‘no god’ stuffs.That’s a good sign,it means you haven’nt found the truth yet.Search for truth,don’t run from it.It’s not easy but it’s not too hard.One things for sure truth does not contradict.Not contradict with logic or science or your heart or proofs or whatsoever. Search for it.The clue is in the holy Qoran.

Three reasons why not to be a Christian anyway. Watch I Dare You.

Just passing through, Bye bye from Drunken Atheist.

Man, Inherently Human Blog has a long way to go to even touch up on that list. http://blog.atheist-r-evolution.com

What if there was God?? What if after we die, there he is, God.. Shouldn’t that be a problem to atheist?? Even if God doesn’t exist, nobody lost anything by believing in him.. All his messages to humans were to improve their lives and help them live in this world with a certain harmony.. Think of Him as someone who asked u to be good and told u that u’ll meet again then left u alone to see whether u practice this advice.. We will meet again.. Every test must be graded.. and life is a test… I so do respect catholics and muslims and everyone who believes in god.. and i do respect atheists as i believe they have a point, but should have a stronger statement for proving that point of view.. Im sorry if i upset anyone but we should all accept each others opinions..

Regards,
Mohamad Abdel Razzak

Cheers for the rec, Stephen. :-)

No – I agree with elemenope. What we have is a culture war, which is escalating, between Christians and Atheists. You won’t convince a Christian that their beliefs are wrong by telling them that they are stupid and silly (they don’t think so) or that the Church history is an abomination (everybody makes mistakes.) And – as we all know – convincing a critical majority of Christians to adopt a more inclusive paradigm is fundamental for the betterment of society. What skeptics have on their side (sometimes) is a little bit more understanding and wisdom, which should let them see how important being sympathetic to Christian is for actual dialogue; but what is too often produced is an angry tirade, which makes them (us?) no better than fundamentalists ourselves.

Oh…… the infamous Lee Strobel. His book made me wretchedly mad. He interviews (only) Christian scholars, and then writes how astounded he is by the amazing evidence. Like page 91 – talking about a statement of Jesus, whether or not it is ‘historical’:

“That is stunning corroboration for the most important assertion by the most influential individual who has ever lived.” There’s an almost laughable bias here; but it’s not funny because tens of thousands of otherwise intelligent people have been drawn in by this farce.

On a cosmological level: I have no doubt that you experience God. I happen to believe that the universe responds to our expectations so strongly that we can experience what we believe in (and, it is easy to use that experience as proof…even though, given this theory of the universe, it is not.) Good luck in your quest!

“I have a serious problem with the belief that they are going to Hell – and this is only out of the Graciousness of God – God’s ‘gift’ to humanity.”

Man, can I exchange that ‘gift’ for a PS3?

Roger,
God does not simply throw his creations to hell.He throws them to hell for those who find other God’s they create themselves rather than only him,those who create mischiefs,those who are cruel to others,those who sway others from the true path.In fact he promises good afterlife & Heavens to those who follow his path.He just want some recognition & credit for his graciousness,thats all,but most humans are ungratefull for what God have given them.Don,t make a joke out of him.

Solomon
then you are going to hell too
for all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God…(romans 3:23).
BUT that’s NOT the ONLY news…The Good news immediately follows it…and are Justified freely by his grace…(romans 3:24) (Old Lutheran teaching: Objective Universal Justification…but the lutharans Logically would not go further…Universal Salvation is the logical end to universal justification (already happed 2000 years ago at the cross) )
so you, me and all have been saved so that God will be all in all.
Romans 3 21-26 : But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,[i] through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

But this does not help my sincere, intelligent, full of integrity atheistic friends who all have a very valid set of arguments – both sound and valid (Given the set of premises they hold). But as Kurt Godel said in his second incompleteness theorem: For any formal effectively generated theory T including basic arithmetical truths and also certain truths about formal provability, T includes a statement of its own consistency if and only if T is inconsistent.

So even if my atheistic friends logically would develop a rigorous formal system (with symbols and axioms) they can come up with false statements. (thats how i think…if i am mistaken or someone is a better mathematician please correct me in the implication of Godels second theorem. )

So we are back to the beginning: either we become epicureans like kirk or stoic like Spock……
Please pardon my ramblings…But this gives me the greatest Joy: all my atheistic friends on this website will be with me in heaven because of what Christ has done for us.

1 Corinthians chapter 13: 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

So all our limited knowledge and understanding will one day pass away and we all will be one. Till that day occurs let us love one and another and make this world a better place little by little. Let us not fight, but show compassion. Let us not be neither a Christian fundamentalist NOR a atheistic fundamentalist. Both are not nice to be around with.

Why suddenly everybody is so quiet….
