As long as they don't act better than me because they think I'm stupid due to my faith, I'm fine with them. Just no condescending atheists. Those are annoying as hell. Dane Cook anyone?

wow.... -.-

Atheists are fools... the fool hath said in his heart.. there is no God,
they will be enlightened one day, so again they are entitled to there
own beliefs.

The more ideas about where we came from, the better.

(Just so people know, I rarely talk about controversial stuff in real life. This is my outlet.)

In all religions there are some really annoying evangelicals that can't shut up about how great their religion is and they can't help but try to convert others. The religion of athiesm is no different.

The Heavens declare the glory of God. the world did not create itself. Atheism is against common sense. You cannot have effect without cause.

How do they know?

I have said before, I'm a christian...... however, ppl do have the right to believe what they want......

Sadly....this is on the rise all the sudden. If your of the christian faith this is kinda scary.

I am not an atheist, but it doesn't hurt me that other people are. That is their decision, and their belief (or lack thereof). So I don't think that it hurts or helps anyone in general.

lol. everyone has a choice but some religions are just plain ridiculous
okay would you follow the word of a hamburger if someone said it was the almighty creator? well if so idk about you.... but just think beyond the things your sold and choose what you believe.

i think anyone who says the've never doubted their being a "higher power" is truly a lier. at one point everyone does question everything,even their religion and beliefs not to say that they result in being an atheist. me myself i am christian but cause of hardships in life i have at once questioned the thought of their being a "higher power",sure i found myself and stuck to my religion, however ill never push religion on anyone its your choice & someone that judges you for it goes against one of their beliefs because "only God can judge".

I suppose by definition they would be hurtful to a Christian Society, or an Islamic Society, but that's what the Spanish Inquisition and the Taliban were put together to deal with.

...no atheist has ever affected my life for me to feel that they are a huge problem in society--just like no other religious group has either--again it's not the belief or lack there of, it's the hate of the people...

I'm a Christian and I do have some Atheist friends. I wish they believed, but obviously they don't. It's not my job to convince them or force them. So....in some way, it hurts. But in the end, it's their decision.

I think Atheism, is fine, i think anyone who doesn't want to believe in a 'higher power', and still has good moral judgements, has my respect fully.

Murder is also a choice so do you agree with that?

its a choice

YEEAAAYUH!

It's not hurtful, some atheists are annoying as hell but so are many Christians and atheists at least don't believe in fairy tales.

Who cares what someone else believes

I'm not trying to insult anyone because I do know of some people that are atheist..but my true feelings about Atheism is split...I understand why anyone would think that there was no God especially if they are having nothing but hardships in their life..but at the same time I don't see how a person could say there is no God...I see God around me everyday and there are times I feel like he has abandoned..but honestly You will never hear me say that there is no God...God is the reason I'm alive today

It's a personal choice. How could that even affect society?

how are they sure theres no GOd?

There is no God, Gods, or anything.

Without it most people who are of faith would never take a look at what they really believe in and as a result faith would diminish somewhat

None of these answers fit. It's a persons right to chose. In my opinion all religions are praying to the same god just by a different name.

what does it matter....live and let live..

I don't think atheism if harmful to society...you have the right to believe as you choose...

to each his own but I feel we benefit from believing in a higher power.

Religion is mental poison when it is inflicted on the young...it should be regulated like tobacco and voting (must be 18 to be preached to)

How can atheism be helpful or hurtful? Am I naive to think that it's not a matter of state opinion?

i believe in God, and people who are atheism hurts me because they say non'factable information about God that they can't prove. God works in mysterious ways. I know because my little brother Joey is in Heaven right now chilling with the the Lord!

they are going to be getting eating by grub worms, sucks to be them

WHO CARES??

I'll say it hurts only in that ANY with strong religious beliefs tend to filter their decisions based on those beliefs.

Its a personal choice, nothing to do with anyone else but that individual...

Without God the world is nonexsitent. God made the world and us.

Sometimes the religious wackos do more harm than good.

everyone is entitled to their beliefs and the athiests at least arent starting a holy war

There's nothing really wrong with it. People could believe in one God, many Gods, or they don't have to believe in any God.

It doesn't matter.

Everyone has different beliefs.

freedom of choice

WORKS FOR ME.

As a born again Christian, I think many will be surprised to see me place that there. I think oftentimes a person has a better chance of discovering a personal relationship with God by trying to figure out why He is unnecessary, such as the Apostle Paul, who started out as a staunch opponent against Christianity. I'm not saying to stop spreading the Gospel, but sometimes preaching or disapproving another's lifestyle will cause alienation rather than understanding.

Ignorant people pollute the minds of others and harm there chances on getting to heaven because atheists work for the devil!!!!

I pray for atheists.I feel they are ignorant to what the good word of the Lord has to offer.

i don't judge anyone.
but i wish everyone could find the lord and accept him in their lives.
it's amazing.

IRRELEVANT! THEY WILL PERISH AND BE FORGOTTEN!
