dislike atheism

[syo]

atheists deny a creator god but they don't deny their own being. why and how do we exist then, if not for a creating power? so atheists believe that only themselves exist, and the creation power is imaginary. atheism is totally wrong. they deny the creator god, and they think that only their own temporary being exists. how atheism has followers is strange.

One cannot deny that which does not exist. Starting out your post with a strawman only guarantees chaos at best.

Holy field of straw men, Batman.

Or just lack the belief in any. It varies.

but they don't deny their own being. why and how do we exist then, if not for a creating power?

By accident, perhaps. Hard to tell for sure.

so atheists believe that only themselves exist,

Uh, no, we do not. Why would you think such a thing?

and the creation power is imaginary.

That we mostly do. Don't you?

atheism is totally wrong. they deny the creator god, and they think that only their own temporary being exists.

Uh, you are not being very coherent here.

how atheism has followers is strange.

"Followers"?

I can see that I was not the only one to spot the obvious strawmen.

i mean, atheists think that themselves are real but what created them is imaginary.

My parents are not imaginary.

"What created us" being...?

 

[syo]

My parents are not imaginary.

our parents grandparents sons and daughters are all creations and we are all temporary.

"What created us" being...?

god

We all die sometime. And?

we can't suggest that our short lifespan is all there is. there must be something greater than us that lasts forever.

god

There are many conceptions of gods.

The ones that focus on the idea of a "creator of existence" tend to be quite unsuitable to actual belief, frankly. If you have a problem with people realizing that and acting accordingly, then you have my sympathy, but not my support.

The most succesful ones are almost without exception illustrations of teachings and virtues.

How do you know that?

god

How do you know that?

No, we don't believe there was an intelligence that created the universe.

By definition, one's lifespan is "all there is" to each of us.

We can and do have lifeprints that transcend our individual existences, of course. But it is not like existence owes us that and we have a duty to believe in a creator god in return, if that is what you are suggesting.

Acceptance of reality is a good thing.

there must be something greater than us that lasts forever.

Uh, no. There is no such need.

Well, stars last a great deal longer than any human. So?

creator of existence is a strong reason why god exists. we didn't create ourselves.

And nobody says we did. But that doesn't mean an intelligence created us. We are caused, but not created.
