Comments on: My Atheism Is Not A Rejection Of Your God http://uniformvelocity.com/2009/01/08/my-atheism-is-not-a-rejection-of-your-god/ Atheist, Skeptic, Rationalist And Secularist From A Scientific Slant Traveling At A 'Uniform Velocity' Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:43:23 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: JCE http://uniformvelocity.com/2009/01/08/my-atheism-is-not-a-rejection-of-your-god/#comment-4914 JCE Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:03:00 +0000 http://uniformvelocity.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/my-atheism-is-not-a-rejection-of-your-god/#comment-4914 Allan, comments such as yours have always confused me. Did your parents do such a poor job instilling morals in you that you honestly feel you should give credit for being a good, decent person to a religious belief? <br/><br/>Do you ever question the fact that you may have simply been brainwashed to associate good behavior with god? <br/><br/>Atheist or no, I would have done the same exact thing as you and returned the money. It isn't really something I would have thought about - it is just the right thing to do. I am not patting myself on the back because it is hard for me to take credit for something I feel everyone should do. It is simply living up to my own expectation of what I feel should be normal human behavior. Allan, comments such as yours have always confused me.

Atheist or no, I would have done the same exact thing as you and returned the money. It isn’t really something I would have thought about – it is just the right thing to do. I am not patting myself on the back because it is hard for me to take credit for something I feel everyone should do. It is simply living up to my own expectation of what I feel should be normal human behavior.

If believing in God makes me a better person then I will continue to do so.

FYI … when I finally GOT IT and connected with God I absolutely knew it. It is a very personal relationship that I hope you all come to have someday. I left my church because I agree that organized religion can be a disaster (not all …) …

GOD indeed exist dont act in prejudice. my email addresses are jackochieng@yahoo.co.uk or jackochieng@gmail.com. be blessed all of you i get this to be interesting bit of discussion and it will go on and on. lets look at history and judge for ourselves if all that is written in the bibble is fake. am a christian to start with so this means that before i start my argument am already inclined in my reasoning. just a simple question why is the calender is divided into BC and AD that is after death of christ Jesus and before christ came into the world as a man. you find it so convenient to BELIEVE that there is not God or any Deity who influences things and things just happen and there is no controller of the universe. how can you xplain the prophesies that were prophesised and are now being fulfilled? in the gospels, jesus gave us the signs to watch for before He comes to to take us home…..there will be wars and rumours of wars, kingdoms shall fight against each other, earthquakes famine , people will be lovers of money rather than lovers of God, children shall turn away from their parents and all sorts of evil shall come to the world. there will be emergence of false prophets those who will use the name of jesus christ and the Father for their own good. and so on and so foth. you tried to believe but you didnt have enough inquisitiveness and the thurst for the truth to make you know the truth. jesus said that the gospel shall be preached to every individual and to every nation and at least you know the GOSPEL but DECIDED not to believe that is your decision. my advice to you all read the bible with an open mind and compare what you believe with what the bible says. look at history and judge for yourself. archaelogists are working round the clock to confirm if what the old testament says is true and they are amazed with their findings.
