If you are atheist, should you be considered the anti-christ?

I fail to see what atheism has to do with christ... Why are christians always so self-indulgent?

 

There is a group of people out there that spread the idea that anything that is not christian is an attack on Christianity. My grandmother believes this, she and my aunt are hardcore conservative religious types. This is where Atheism as an attack on Christianity comes from.

 

My grandmother and aunt sounds a lot like your grandmother and aunt. Are you me from the future?!

What I know about the AntiChrist:

• He claims he is Christ.
• He's trying to take over the world.
• He fulfills several prophecies, whatever they are (I always full asleep in church, so don't ask me)
• Apparently there's a bunch of lesser antiChrists that form a central antiChrist. Unholy Trinity or something?
• Denies that Jesus is the real Christ.
• Always referred to as a he, so probably doesn't have boobies.
• A lying cheating bastard that sounds like he has a real bad case of NPD.

I'm assuming your friend doesn't claim that he himself is Christ?

 

You forgot that he will be handsome/goodlooking.

Btw anti-christ doesnt just have to claim he himself is Christ. It can be somebody who just doesn't believe in Christ/God

 

Well, that's not what I was taught. Not that I care.

Handsome, good-looking... Crap. I must be the anti-Christ. Well, it doesn't mind if I get to fuse with all those of handsome good-looking guys XD

 

No, The anti-christ is not just any person who doesn't believe in Christ/God. The common archetype of the anti-Christ is one who is believing in these things, but is evil, tricking the followers into following him rather than the true Christ. He's a specific entity that brings about the Apocalypse.

Painting atheists/non believers as the Anti-Christ is what these certain groups I mentioned do to discredit anyone who has different beliefs and to stop their followers from questioning their faith or listening to ideas that may be opposite of what they want people to believe.

 

well i dont consider my self as anti-christ, but i do consider myself as anti religious moron.

 

Posting so I can have more lulz show up in my "new replies to your posts" list.

I was going to explain my own beliefs on the matter, but doing so bored even me. My belief system encompasses several seemingly conflicting schools of philosophy that I must reconcile through further study and introspection in order to avoid cognitive dissonance.

 

ie "I'm so smart it would destroy this topic". tl;dr

 

Hell yeah, that's the way I roll, baby.

 

Atheist is the person that refuses to believe that an omnipotent being exists in a pure plane of life.

 

Actually tehuber seems he doesn't even know what he believes xD getting into various philosophies is a maze I wish you good luck in tehuber.

 

I'm pretty sure he's content.

 

I seek only the truth, growlth. To that end, I shall continue to question and refine my own beliefs.

Of course, I must be aware of my current beliefs if I wish to refine them, no?

 

I would prefer to use the word doesn't instead of refuse, but whatever floats your boat.

How long do you think it took them to work out what you said?

 

For someone to acknowledge that they are an atheist, they must first be aware of the idea of God so they can decide they don't believe it. This is a case of active rejection, no? Therefore "refusal" seems a sufficiently appropriate term.

Nowhere near as long as if I had actually explained my beliefs in full...

 

Did you guys know that if you say "Jesus" backwards it sounds like "sausage"?

 

Did you know that God backwards is dog?

By extension, dogs are a little bit of God.

 

Yeah but this is me, I don't believe in anything remember

 

True true
