I see way too often atheists have trouble understanding how serious God is about sin.

So serious that...? Hmm, what has god done to show how serious he is.
Because your disbelief is based on a the ridiculous presumption that atheists actually believe in God, they just refuse to admit it.Atheists do not believe in God. Structure your arguments and statements to reflect this, please.
How serious is he? I mean, your god used to kill people just for being displeasing to his eyes. He smote people for fibbing. Where's all that been for the past, oh, 2,000 years?
ATHEISTS. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. IN. GOD.
It's kind of hard to be frightened of something you don't seriously believe in. It's like expecting someone over a certain age to seriously be afraid of the monsters in his closet. You have to actually prove that God exists, and that sin is more than just a way of making people feel guilty about being human, before you can expect to be taken seriously. Okay?
You see atheists having trouble understanding how serious God is about sin?
I've known plenty of Christians ignore their conscience and empathy because it suits their feelings and they can pick the Scriptures that back it up in spite of other Scriptures or even common sense.
Bottom line: Too many Christians are only serious about whatever makes them feel good. Or bad. It's a good thing I know plenty out there who try to make up for the damage.
I said it before, and I'll say it again...who's God gonna look more kindly on? Those who dod good because he had a thunderbolt charged and aimed at their heads, or those that genuinely did it for the good of their better man? Hmmm?
THIS IS SERIOUS GOD.
SERIOUS GOD IS SERIOUS.
>O
Yeah, just like how christians have trouble understanding how serious Allah is about women not covering their hair in public.
Looks like someone doesn't understand what 'atheism' means...
I just feel that way too many of his "sins" are wholly arbitrary, out-dated, and without merit. Not to mention at the time the Bible was written, it was FAR too easy to edit it to meet an agenda, as even if one of the followers got ahold of it, there were good odds that he would be illiterate anyways, and wouldn't understand what he was reading anyways. If you could prove to me that it is the whole, unadulterated word of God, I'd listen, but it's impossible to do so, without him coming down and confirming it, so unfortunately, I see no reason to follow your dogma.
Just as much trouble as you have of understanding how serious Quetzalcoatl is about human sacrifice*.
Who was it who put the underage child bride Mary in Le Club Pudding? Frankly, committing Adultery with the betrothed of Joseph is the least of said being's - and your - problems.
Or - in the case of Josh Buggar & Roy Less : and how so many of your ilk were prepared to condone the latter's behaviour, purely for political reasons - for the whole concept of 'Sin' as a whole.
So I'm afraid that we Atheists understand your so-called concept of 'Sin' only too well. And that's the problem.
For your right to think the way you do. Or your very religion's right to exist.
Because as late last year proved, the Religious Reich - once all-powerful during the Raygun Era - no longer has the right to exist.
Seriously.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
