I am Athiest - and No You CAN not change it!

I am 22. I was rasied to be Christain- I was raised to beleive in God, to have faith, to pray- worship, and follow the Word of God, however, I don't know when exactly but I started doubt, and soon I found myself staying home from church on Sundays, and asking questions like why-when-how-who-what? I finally told my parents I didn't beleive in God, NO THEY WEREN'T happy, but they excepted it, and did everything to make me regain the faith I had once had... I now am a true beleiver that we evolved from Monkeys, and that the bible is something written by a king, or some other person with authority! Maybe even a mind reader or someone who could see into the future. I can't explain it, or why religion is here, and so many beleive, but I just know I don't.

I would like to say- I would love to beleive in God, things were so much easier than. People didn't look at me funny, or tell me I was going to hell. Beleive me- many have said --- YOU will BURN in HELL ..... When I beleived in God people were nicer, and didn't judge me. Then I realized, why on earth do I care. Im me, and I'm happy comming to terms with the fact, I don't beleive in God. There is nothing wrong with not beleiveing. I do not preach to others that I am right, and they are wrong, I simply will state the facts why I don't beleive when someone ask. I think The Bible is a good book, and it has ways of living that include having morals.. I think that it is a good set of rules to live by. I don't beleive in God, but I still wouldn't kill, cheat, lie, or steal. I think that Christains show great decipline by devoting themselves to what they beleive in. I think that Christains do good things for other people, and truely care for one another.

However, being athiest- has made me see just how rude some people can be. It is amazing how many rules can be broken when they speak with someone who doesn't beleive in God, all the sudden they have the right to judge. I HAVE READ THE BIBLE..... and I know I remember something about Thou shall not Judge, or be judged by no other than God.

Truth is most athiest will never find faith after loseing it in God. Most athiest are very educated on the bible before they make a decision. Anything that a Christain tells an Athiest -- I'm sure has been said 100 times before to them. Please-- if you are Christain- or you beleive in God, I'm asking on behalf of 99% of us athiest- don't preach to us, or try to make us convert back, truth is we were probably once a Christain, and we know both sides better than you! Thankyou,

Liz

Date: 6/26/2002 4:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 23610    Well, it certainly is hard to go against the grain and suffer the anger and persecution of those who would judge or misunderstand you. I admire a person who knows who they are and what they believe and can stand up for themself. It sounds like you've seen more than one side of the coin and have made a decision based on your own mind, thoughts, and experiences.  
Date: 6/26/2002 4:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 55363    im a christian but i do respect other religions.i mean im not considering becoming athiast or anything but there is NO way to prove any religion wrong at all.somehow every religion could be right(not a very good chance though).some religions might be right and some not.there could be hundreds of gods you can pick your religion.its not right to judje people cuz of there religion.ill admit my religion could be wrong.its your choice and i respect that you chose what you believed in not what people told you to believ in.......

Date: 6/26/2002 5:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    Applause! Very good post. Thank you. I was deeply involved in Christianity for over years, and I know very well what you are talking about. Most Christians (NOT ALL!) haven't a clue what Atheism is; and furthermore, don't want to know; and treat me like I have AIDS or some other horrid communicable disease. Most of the ignorance comes from being taught by parents and preachers in the pulpits and then it is passed on to the children, then they pass it on to their children, and thus the ignorance and lies continues. But then the whole of Christianity was built on myths, superstitions, and falsehoods of all kinds. Hooray for you, Liz. Thanks for speaking out.  
Date: 6/26/2002 5:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 820    I too am an Atheist. My family casts me out because of it. But I stay loyal to my beliefs despite how badly I am ridiculed. Great post, Liz!   
Date: 6/26/2002 5:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 32659    *Applauses for Liz and Thinker* very good post. Some (<--- not all) Christians just don't get it.  
Date: 6/26/2002 6:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 46515    OK, thats your right. I am not spiritually responsible for someone past a certain point. You need to believe how you want. Me? I'll believe like I want.  
Date: 6/26/2002 7:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 55363    the kid person i no what athiesem is but i am a christian read my other coments i made to this story
Date: 6/26/2002 7:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 55363    imad now cuz liz is complaining no one respects her
religion everyone says its bad now half the people writing coments to this story r sayin christians dont have a clue even though i respect everyone elses religion
Date: 6/26/2002 7:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 55363    thinker i already said no religion can be proved wrong no religion can be proved right you choos what you want to be you cant say any religion is wrong
Date: 6/26/2002 8:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 48525    I agree with both Liz and Thinker. I also have to say that you are not responsible for anyone spiritually but yourself, Tiger Monkey. Your religion tells you to bear witness, but not everyone shares your views.You choose to take on that responsibility.  
Date: 6/26/2002 9:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 39887    Sorry I believe in the end, you will wish you had believed. What will you say to God on judgement day?  
Date: 6/26/2002 11:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 32659    Busy, just try to think, what IF there is no God? I'm not saying "there definitely, 100%, beyond a shadow of a doubt know that there is no God" because I don't know for sure. But WHAT IF there isn't one? And System, I'm sorry for saying that, but it wasn't really directed at you. You said yourself you respect other religions, so you're okay in my book.
