Lazy people become Atheist

Hi..

yesterday i went to the temple to offer prayer, there the priest was giving sermon and he said that people become atheist because they do not do time management and cannot take out half an hour from their daily affairs to remember the Lord. The feeling of God slowly vanishes from their mind and as a result they say that they are atheist to cover up their absence in Church or other religious places.

Do you agree with the priests statement that laziness causes a person to become atheist.

 

No. It may be that way for some but tarring all atheists with the same brush is too simple. MANY atheists are that way because they've looked at MANY religions and have come to that conclusion after searching low and high for the right answer. Many atheists are smarter than us (in other ways).

I could argue that Christians and Muslims come to their conclusions too because they are lazy. They stop at their books and don't move on beyond that to learn more about God. That's surely lazy too, which defeats the purpose of his sermon. Tell him he needs a new diatribe on that.

 

The rising popularity of atheism is, in my opinion, due to the progress of science and the increasing separation of a person from their family's culture and traditions.

Science allows people to explain events through the physical properties of the universe. Many people find it to be pointless to believe in a deity when they can rely on what seems to be a more logical approach of using known information to explain what they come across.

Also, individuals are beginning to become more and more separated from their families, especially because of the recent rise in personal electronics. This separation allows someone to feel distanced with family traditions and culture, which includes religion. Before, when people were more dependent on family ties, they usually followed what was taught by their parents to be correct, meaning if your father said to go to church, no matter what religion, you usually went to church. But, with teenagers, young adults, and children becoming increasingly separate from their parents, they choose to also loosen the obligation to adopt similar lifestyles.

The bond between parents and children are broken because of technology, so the bonds in family obligations are weakened as well. So, kids may choose not to go to church because it's "a waste of time" or "they don't want to wake up early."

xD

 

Or maybe they have better things to do than get on their knees and wail like a servile dog to an imaginary sky man. Maybe an atheist would consider it to be a waste of this life to spend it pointlessly begging for another one.

 

Therefore the atheist waste time on forums trowing bull and form organizations to waste time and money on lawsuits . Such a superior activity compared to finding inner peace or doing charity .

 

Religion instills fear in people and it counts on that fear. Fear of after life, fear of judgement day, fear of hell. "If you don't follow our religion you will burn in hell" that's the argument. And people are too gullible to question it.

An atheist sees past the lies of religion. I don't need to waste half an hour of my life everyday on something that doesn't exist. I can do something more productive in that time.

 

Being an Atheist is not necessarily an exclusion from religion and therefore the premise for the sermon is without foundation.

 

And we always 'Hope for the Best' and when there's Hope there is Faith.

 

absolutely not! There're ones who were born to think like an atheist. You know, they just categorically deny the existence of God.

 

Like posting in forums arguing about the existence of something you you allegedly believe it doesn't exit . Yep totally productive .

Most people become atheist either because they don't like the rules (feasting and sex being the biggest demotivators) or because they expected God to grab their hand and pat them on the head and since that doesn't happen they find a alternate explanation . The easiest one is atheism which has somewhat of nice appeal thanks to people like Niche and due to the fact that atheist fool themselves that they're backed by science therefore they're a bit elite themselves when in reality they would go insane if they would meet face to face with non-linear equations or the live implementation of a simple algorithm .

 

That must be why you claim to not be a muslim then. You obviously believe in Allah and his prophet, you just don't like the rules (not eating bacon and mutilating your penis being the biggest demotivators). 

Do you see and facile that pathetic argument is now?

 

Did Apoc quote me? Would you do me a favor StOx, let him know that he can stop quoting me, I have him on ignore...

 

He spends his time talking to an imaginary man who can't hear him, so talking to an actual person who can't hear him is a step in the right direction. 

 

You forgot one thing genius . In order for someone to move from A to B it must be in A to start with . Do yourself a favor go get your brain next time you post ... unless you enjoy being a clown

@The Webby - awesome display of intelligence and reason . In order to prove your point you put your fingers in your years and go "la-la-la i can't hear you" .

 

No no, you claim to disbelieve in islam, therefore, by your facile cretinous logic, you must really believe in it, but just disagree with the rules. Isn't it funny how the "religious" never hold themselves to the same standards and reason that they apply to others. If i was a more cynical man i might call you lying, deceitful hypocrite.

 

where did you deduce that he believes in islam?  ApocolyspeXL has a point about science and atheism not being the same, i forget that also sometimes.  

 

I didn't deduce it, he did. His logic is people claim to disbelieve in god(s) because they don't like the rules. Which must mean he claims to disbelieve in allah because he doesn't like the rules.

Here's some news for you guys. i disbelieve in your god, and every other god, because it's infantile nonsense and i am a grown man who doesn't need to invent magical friends who will look after me if i beg hard enough, like a servile dog. 

 

he's referring to atheists most likely not believing in a religious deity of some form.  some atheists want to throw religion away completely.  religious do not have to like each other's religions' rules or religion but can believe in the same God, which the big monotheistic religions do.

 

Well that is easily proven false, because if what he was saying was true atheists would just pick a god that doesn't impose any rules. Is it such a strange concept that someone might find the notion of an invisible, magic sky daddy to be a frankly infantile thing to believe in?

 

some find it comforting and it's alot of people, it can keep a person "honest" with themselves, easier to check yourself without worrying about the law.  atheists can have those qualities also, having comforted, "honest" with themselves and check themselves.  religious like that extra with a God protecting them.  and it's a nice wonderment that after-life and all that i guess.
