Yes, we are. However, I have no urge to “convert” anyone to Atheism, and neither do my friends. I don’t have any problems with Christianity, and I was raised a Catholic. My family is Catholic on my mom’s side, and my dad’s is a mix of Protestant (his dad’s side) and Christian Scientist (his mom’s side). I’d say my dad is probably Agnostic, my mom still Catholic.

No hatred. Just a lack of belief on my part.

Just curious, where do atheists believe that morality comes from? In other words, if there is no God (pushing his morality and holding us to account), why not just look after yourself and to hell with everyone else?

Quite the smorgasbord, while there are variant types of atheists. Those on this officially "pro-God" forum apparently share many conservative values that evangelicals and TradCaths do, yet whom we debate, but at least the latter two have their respective transcendent supreme moral sources by which they can be judged, despite a degree of interpretation being allowed. Not so with atheists.

Atheists BELIEVE there is NO god.

Agnostics ain't sure.

I can relate to this. My religious background is “complicated’ and at this point I am completely impervious to either religious or atheist arguments.

I come down on the side of religion and am thinking of converting to Catholicism because:

1) as an engineer it seems to me there’s simply too much clever design for there not to be a designer

2) I like the ritual and the incense and stuff

3) our best modern defenders of the Constitution on SCOTUS have been Catholics
