The reason why we (Christians) try to prove there is a God is because we belive it is something to fight for. As an atheist, what do you have to fight for? Why do you try endlessly to prove the nonsexistance of God?
Just curious
The devil put them up to it - they are angry people because they cannot fathom what we see and understand because it goes beyond their depth since they are still blind to the Truth.

First, let me say that while I am an atheist, I do not discount the they believe because they feel the need to believe in "something".

Oct 21, 2008 By this I do not mean the denial of rationality, but the kind of reasoning If you can get to believe that without God, simply on the basis of what the universe Let there be adverts: Christians hit back at the atheist bus ..

It's ok though - God said it'd be like this. I just really feel sorry for them - what a sad thing to think that this life is as good as it gets and not to understand the beauty of this earth was created by something far greater than us.
we dont try to prove anything.
Christianity has been around for over 1500 years and STILL no one has any evidence of God......what does that tell you?
The same reason jehovah's witnesses try to convert people.
why must they care? Because they believe the more christians there are in the world, the better it will be.
Same with atheists except we have a slightly different look on it.
we believe the more atheists there will be, the more people will come to grip with reality and start to take responsibility for their own actions, instead of asking forgiveness all the time.
Plus, I think if there's a president that doesn't believe soldiers will go to heaven when they die, he will be a little less willing to get them KILLED!
Wrong!
I would lock to lock everyone in a room til they either agree, or both agree to shut up.
I say that in a pleasant voice. lmao
One should not waste one's times on fairy tales.
If God existed, why do you feel the need to Prove Him?
I would take issue with your statement that Xians try to prove god. They do not. They mainly argue that he has to be accepted on faith. When they argue for god's existence, it is not proof that they offer but simply rhetoric. The bar has always been set at an impossible level, because god is never something that can be tested for. Frankly, I've never tried to prove the non existence of god. In my mind, something that can not be tested for, either directly or indirectly does not exist.

There's this 13 year old kid in Portland, Moscow or Barcelona. He's struggling with his homosexual feelings and is scared to come out of the closet. The moment he'll come out of the closet, he's in for a life of hell. Why? Because some ancient book tells us that some sort of imaginary god hates gay people. At least that's what billions of people believe.
I'm fighting for the happiness of that kid. Which means more to me than your fight for the existence of an amoral god.
The last time we left you guys go totally unchallenged we got the Dark Ages. We're just trying to avoid a repeat.
we fight against stupidity.
and we do not try to prove there is no god. you cant prove a negative, its logically impossible because we cant be everywhere at once. just like how you cant prove that santa clause, mermaids, and fire-breathing dragons dont exist. you just discredit them because you cant prove that they do exist.
the burden of proof always lies with the person making the positive statement, in every case not just religious ones.
I don't.
I just feel there is a need to allow people the freedom to believe or not believe.
To stop the ignorance of bigots who try to abuse human rights based on writings in an old book. You really think that's not justified?
And in case you hadn't noticed, atheists don't go out proselytizing on the streets. We just give our disproofs for God when we put up with the ignorant @sses amongst you lot who try and cram their crap down our throats. If you left us alone and stopped trying to interfere with our lives, governments and rights as human beings, we'd leave you alone.
Well, any good atheist knows thee is no such thing as proving something doesn't exist. It is up to YOU, the one making the claim, to prove there IS a god, which you cannot do.
So you believe there is a god because it's something to fight for??? So you just make up reasons to fight? So it's OK for me to murder people because I believe in comfortable bowling shoes?
You're really making the argument AGAINST religion when you say that religion gives you a reason to fight.
i don't try to prove god doesn't exist. i'm still waiting on someone to prove he does.
furthermore, i don't think it's fair that christians try to tell people how to live their lives based on something they haven't proven.
I don't think it is the job for Christians to prove there is a God. In fact, I think it is counterproductive because when we try and fail, then we give credence to the atheistic idea that proof of God is important.
When we reject God, we get to take over His role. We become the only authority over how we live our lives. We get to do what we feel like doing and there is no higher authority to tell us otherwise. Atheists don't reject God because of lack of evidence, they reject God because God's position is already taken.
What's a "God"...I have never heard of this word.
"Why do you try endlessly to prove the nonsexistance of God?"
-- I don't try endlessly because I already have proven it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
No one is trying to prove that there is no God.
All Atheists ever do is point out how your attempts at proving Gods existence just don't hold any water.
Do you try to prove Hanuman the Hindu monkey god does not exist? If you are a Christian, you fight against all gods, besides yours. Well, I just take it one step further and fight against yours too. It is important to anyone to know whether any given gods exist. Surely you can see that. I want to know the truth, not just pretend whatever I want to believe is true. Can you honestly say the same thing? What do you have to say to try to prove that your deity exists? Thomas Aquinas gave a detailed proof, but it is illogical. Richard Dawkins refutes it well in "The God Delusion". Other Christian scholars , besides Thomas Aquinas, have tried, but no one has succeeded. I fight against Christians trying to force their religion upon everyone. I fight against preachers becoming wealthy by conning people in selling them tickets to a phony heaven. I fight my sister who is a Christian and attends churches 3 times a week and then steals, extorts, slanders and even tries to kill people to take their property. Richard Dawkins proved that people are better off without imaginary gods. He is fighting harder than the rest of us. Our fight is against stupidity, ignorance and tyranny of religions.
Because you are in the clutches of a myth, and we want to free you from it so that you can live your life the way it was meant to be lived, instead of living it by the rules of ancient lunatics and drunks.
they need to feel important, like they can really have a positive affect on the world with ranting
some might need to disprove god so they can be free to an irrational lust over the same sex
I don't feel such a need. If you want to believe in an invisible man who lives in the sky, go right ahead.
 To all Atheists - Why don't you take time out and read the Bible from start to finish and come back with your
 Atheists why does it seem like you pick on Christians more than any other religions?

Atheists, why do you feel that there is a need to prove there is no God?
