If Atheism is so "right on" then....

[-Cp]

you ever notice..

When it comes to the idea of "Atheism" that atheists are NEVER saught after in moments of tragedy? they ALWAYS seek out religous leaders / chaplains etc..

I can't recall hearing about ANYTIME someone about to die on death row cried out to the "god of self".... or anyone in serious emotional trauma... or about to die in a plane wreck.. etc...

I'd LOVE to hear from dp's self-professed "godless ones" why that is....

The answer is as plain as the nose on your face. Why would a person who doesn't believe in a deity make an appeal to one? You don't hear Christians calling out for Santa Claus when the shit hits the fan, do you?

Religion is personal and should remain that way. Instead of whining about others' lack of religion you should be practicing yours to the letter.

You've both misses his point, which I take as this:

When faced with hardships and disaster and Fear, the Vast majority of folk cry-out for God, or to God. Even athiests, perhaps?

That is because man created God in his own image.

How illogical is that? God is not portayed as selfish, scared, stupid, impotant, little wimp.

My bad... misread that... was actually about to agree w/ you :P

Now I know why you have negative rep....

Here's the good news.....

There most definitely is a God.

Now here's the bad news for those who cry out to God in times of trouble (or when they want something).....

God doesn't micromanage the creation. When you're faced with a life-threatening situation, or you're about to lose your job, or your marriage, or your stock portfolio, you're on your own.

So suck it up and take responsibility

Like for example Cat Stevens was drowning and he called out to God, saying he would work in His name if Stevens was saved. So he became a Muslim, changed his name, and called for Salman Rushdie to be assassinated. Religion is wonderful!

You lost me there. Islam is fake. God is REAL.

Who's "whining"? And by making this post I AM practicing my belief in God....

I have never sought the help of a religous leader..

and which athiests do you recall crying out to god when faced with death? and if by chance you can name some answer me this......What harm did it do?
