You counted how many times I posted on this site?
Originally posted by @romans1009Yes, I’m sure. I can tell you’re pretty set in your ways on this question and I was hypothesizing why. I think I nailed it, though some atheists I’ve encountered don’t not believe in God; instead, they hate God. But I don’t get that vibe from you. I think deep down, you acknowledge to yourself that God may exist and it terrifies you. Some of your “disbelief” may have to do with pride (you don’t want to admit that an entity so much smarter and more powerful than you exists,) but I think you’re professed “disbelief” is mostly a coping mechanism borne out of sheer terror.
Set in my ways.
Not hate.
Something terrifies me.
Pride.
Something smarter and more powerful than me.
I won't admit something.
Coping mechanism.
Sheer terror.
You think you've nailed it.
OK. I know where you are coming from.

Oh I think it takes longer than that.

You’re not as stridently mocking and obnoxious as a lot of atheists are who actually hate God.
And your obsession with debating God’s existence leads me to believe that you’re not satisfied in your own mind that God does not exist.
So you don’t hate God and are really not sure whether He exists. You’re searching for the truth, and I applaud you for that. But the best way over your stumbling block of terror is to read the Bible - I’d suggest the Gospel if John in the New Testament and Psalms in the Old Testament. The more you come to know and understand God’s nature, the less frightened you’ll be.

Originally posted by @fmfAnd like I said, I’m not proselytizing. I’m trying to help you get past your terror. There’s no logical reason why someone who didn’t believe in God would spend this much time and energy debating His existence.

Originally posted by @romans1009Start a thread about it and maybe some logical reasons will then be presented to you. There are lots of atheists here. This is not a 'Christian site'.

Do you believe extraterrestrials exist? Do you believe in intelligent life other than on earth?

But I’m not that interested in hearing why “atheists” spend so much time debating whether God exists. It’s pretty clear to me, based on numerous past conversations with self-professed atheists, that they really either hate God, or, like you, are terrified of Him.
