Comments on: Why Religion is an Important Part of Personal Financepersonal finance that makes centsBy: mave- September 16, 2008 Johnson (and only Johnson, as thankfully you are not really representative of many christians I've met) - You've missed the boat: atheism isn't about a "belief" of any kind. It's about a LACK of belief. That's where you are losing track in your discussion of these issues. Just as I'm sure you don't believe that Santa Claus, Tom Sawyer, Bilbo Baggins or The Green Lantern are real, I don't believe that "God", "Allah", "Aphrodite" or "Thetans" are real. That isn't a belief, that is a LACK of...http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal...

By: Johnson Lim- September 16, 2008 To Mave and Atheists, Well, what more could I say You have deliberately chose to ignore everything I said. I don't have to prove God's existence. He is already there. There are tonnes of evidences that can prove God's existence, you just have to open your eyes to see them. But if you still failed to see them, I can't help any further. Surely I can't force my religion into your brain, for the conversion of a heart is not my job, it's God's. I salute your strong believe in the gospel of...http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal... By: Justin- September 16, 2008 Johnson, buddy, the onus of proof is on your side. I don't have to prove that your god doesn't exist, you have to prove that hesheit does. Religion is based on faith that that which they can't prove exists does in fact exist. Whether I believe your god exists or not doesn't matter to me, but apparently it does to you.http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal... By: mave- September 16, 2008 That is 7,000 shades of silly. According to your logic, not believing in Thor is a religion, not believing in leprechauns is a religion, not believing the sun will rise tomorrow as a big blue herring is a religion. That's simply absurd. Atheism is nothing more and nothing less than a response to the claim that a deity exists. That response being "there isn't sufficient evidence to support such a claim". There is no other doctrine or belief aside from that. There is no "core value" that human..http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal... By: Johnson Lim- September 16, 2008 To Mave and all Atheists, Atheism is a religion by itself. Let me elaborate that for you, if you are so ignorant to analyse that. Religion is a set of beliefs and values. Every religion has their own sets of beliefs and values. Like Christianity, their core belief is salvation through grace, redemption by the death of Jesus Christ. And their core value is equality of all mankind, regardless of believer or not. Atheism itself is a set of beliefs and values. The core belief for Atheism is that.http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal... By: mave- September 16, 2008 Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color. And atheists don't "oppose" religion, they simply don't believe in it. Religious people seem to enjoy taking that as some kind of attack, but it isn't.http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal... By: Johnson Lim- September 16, 2008 Religion or not, we are all still humans. I was a atheist before I become a Christian, hence I understand why Atheists are always opposing against religions. However, as a former atheist, I want to plea to all Atheists, stop attacking people's religion. Of course, you can choose to continue your deeds in offending people by mocking their religions, but don't come and ask people of why people dislike Atheism. Be a good religious practitioner if you want people to accept your believes. Seriously,.http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/15/why-religion-is-an-important-part-of-personal... |
