Atheism is a term used to describe people who believe there is no god, and like the term Christian it covers a wide flavour of views. Many religious people believe atheists are complete non believers, not very good people and go around denouncing christ / god.
That view is about as accurate as those non believers who believe all Christians are bible bashing sandal wearing loonies.
The term Atheist is unfortunately used to include those of us who believe that the bible may be a very innacurate publication, based on distorted reports.
The term Atheist should be considered a derogatory term because it's use implies that god is fact and the Atheist is a non believer in fact.
Back to the advert, I believe they will make people give a thought about the whole subject, in fact it may even make some who never give it a thought take an interest in religion and possibly gain some much needed new members at church.
I am safe to post such things at this time on a Sunday.  |
Excellent post sir.
I find it hard sometimes to understand why when i say i don't believe in the Bible or an all powerful god
i am automatically seen as a bad person who should be converted to the good book
. I believe what i believe and at this time in my life i have not done time in jail or been in constant contact with the police or robbed some old ladies and i certainly don't worship the devil
.
However I do like a bit of gratuitous violence in Cod4 at a night time at NTHWGaming.co.uk . maybe that's what not believing in a story book does to you.
