If an ATHEIST tells you "There is no God!" email this discussion to a friend?

What will be your reaction?
And what will you say to him/ her?

This discussion is for everybody to respond to, both atheists and believers.

Obviously, atheists will agree to this statement, so I hope you'll respond with your best atheistic manner. Like a "no-care" type of response.

Same goes with the believers. If you want to justify this with a Bible verse or a Koran verse, that's fine.

Ok, I'll go first.

I'm a believer, and either of these three statements will be my response:

1.) "Right, and there's no air to breathe as well!"
2.) "...and there's no explosion that has the ability to make all things unique!"
3.) "No God? So we all came from nothing? An Accident happened in the midst of darkness? Where does colors came from then?"

Air you can feel on your face and you can see it blowing away your clothes. What explosions are you talking about, I don't get it. Colors come because of reflected light and the kind of matter light falls on.
Here are your answers, but thing is I am not a pure Atheist. I feel there is some force that is working in harmony to bring life, create life, sustain it, perish it, and probably we are too little to fathom it and understand it.
God for me is the imagination of some wise man, who to control the wildness in us imagined his own version of the force and gave it a name. Somehow that name got changed in to various other religions, rituals and traditions. That way relgious sects were born.
We humans are very selfish we feel we can do wrong and ask forgiveness from some one to absolve us from our guilt, we can blame outcomes of our bad decisions on this higher self. We can bribe our way to paradise, we can do anything and justify it as an act of God. So somwhere back then we created and accepted concept of God in to our midst and we carry on with it zealously anyone saying otherwise is our enemy.

to non-believers i will ask "wait until you`re in a really dangerous situation and you will see for whom you gonna call". We all call for God when there`s nothing els lasting.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Galena (4108)   ranked 2,385 out of 38,396 in life  10 months ago

my guess would be that I won't be calling for your God, but for my own Gods, who have been there in my life as long as I remember.


myLot reputation of 57/100. Latrivia (1572)   ranked 6,415 out of 38,396 in life  10 months ago

I've been in several dangerous situtations - and each time the only thing going through my mind was, "Oh crap, I'm going to die!" God was the farthest thing from my mind.

Contrary to the popular fallacy, very few atheists turn to solace in a god in times of turmoil.

well i am an atheist...i used to be a believer but that is because of what my parents and school taught me...
but now i believe that believing in God is like relying on some false hope .... and praying to someone ( in all your cases someone= GOD ) to get you or the world around you out of trouble..i believe rather than praying or being answerable to GOD think a person should himself take the initiative to make things around him alright rather than waste time in doing all of those things he\she does trying to communicate with god.... i believe that science has or will have an answer for everything today that is unexplained

PS: 1. to answer ur question that where we came from...we came from apes...not adam and eve..."WE EVOLVED!!"
2: i m really sorry for using harsh words...i have due respect for all of ur feelings and have no intentions of hurting them..

i would say that i don't know whether god do exist or not.So i don't really got a stand.But i will say that to me,i wouldn't care whether god exist or not as i believe in myself and everything i do is by myself,not god.If i were to become a doctor,it would also be achieved through my hard works.If i were to have the money to buy foods,it would also through my work done.So i don't care at all.

It's all a personal choice for the people who want to believe or not. Just because someone says that there is a God doesn't mean that everybody should believe that there is a God. I for one, do not believe in the concept of a God, or a supreme being controlling my life. And most atheist do not say that there is no God. I for one, do not believe in religion and stuff that is related to it.

I would have to disagree with the person who said There is no God, I don't know my Bible like most people but I have read it and I just know there is a God and He created everything and everyone. So I guess I would have to say I am going by faith.

Ok, if there's no God there's no word. If there's nothing as what atheist believe in their creed... so, no word, if there's no word, there's no God. If there's no God why we're all here in this world? Why there's light, universe, plants, animals even human being that breath? Is, this because of God right?... So, If God is nothing, we are nothing as well. He is a sovereign God. If there's no God everything does not exist in this world.

I would say think what you will but I would rather believe in something, than nothing! After all what could you lose if you believe, nothing! If you don't, that could be a much more expensive gift. Take care mylotters

It is madness to trust in God..! And is it not greater madness to trust in oneself, or in other men?~ Jose Maria Escriva
