I am not an atheist necessarily, but I don't like the idea that if your not a believer somehow this involves less thought, or is easier. <br /><br />Believers are always saying stuff like this and it kind of makes it seem to outside observers that you're basically an unhappy person, with no self control outside of a daddy-God.Philosopher's Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07770394141063859023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374689825908465871.post-45759496794487226922010-01-22T00:59:03.204+08:002010-01-22T00:59:03.204+08:00Really?

Does the Christian need to "question the gods of power, wealth, nationality, and race that clamor for our allegiance" also extend to the power structure surrounding the Christian faith? If so, I don't see it. <br /><br />Don't you think it would be more accurate to describe Christian faith as "political faith"? For example, lets analyze the requirements for belief in this "thinking faith." Most particularly, it obviously requires a belief in God, and a rejection of belief in other Gods. What is the evidence for this assumption? Why don't Christians believe in Zeus or Thor? Are Christian reasons for not believing in Zeus any less relevant than my reasons for not believing in a Christian God? <br /><br />In other words, Christians and I are both atheists, Yemsee, but I just believe in one less God than Christians do. <br /><br />TEMPLETEMPLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056361427832804899noreply@blogger.com
