Christians-How do you think Atheists live their lives?

Probably the same way any one lives. Work, eat, sleep. Watch TV, play with the kids. Go out once in a while. Pay bills and hope the money makes it till the end of the month. It never does.
Laugh, cry, get mad, make love, curse the boss and hope the check gets deposited before the bills come in.

How do you think Christians live?

Well, first of all, you are one Atheist and do not speak for all Atheists. By that I mean there's no way to answer how "we Atheists" live because you are not mirror images of each other. Atheists are individuals with differing opinions on many subjects...you just happen to agree there is no God.

I imagine most Atheists live healthy lives with healthy relationships, do not have a superiority complex and do not obsess over people who after careful examination have come to a different conclusion on the subject of God...and then there are those who should consider seeking help as soon as possible...much like any other people group.

How is asking that question "speaking for all atheists"?

Sorry, Jennifer...I added a sentence to clarify that while you were formulating that response. I saw it needed it when I re-read my post.

i am a sour, depressed person. i hate everyone and everything. the biggest pleasures in my life include long walks through thorn bushes and kicking the dog for fun. i am certain i am typical of all atheists and proudly speak for all of them.

Atheists, you're welcome to comment on your daily life.

There is no such thing as an atheist. Your just trying to get
ideas to be a good christian.

One day at a time like we do.

from payday to payday.

I don't care how 'atheists', or any other tagged group lives their lives. As long as you aren't endagering society in some way, who would care?

INDIVIDUALS do bad things reguardless of the aformentioned "tagged group" heading they fit under. For me to speak negatively about all claimed atheists because of a few who have a problem living in society would be just as idiotic as an atheist speaking negatively about all claimed Christians who have a problem living in society.

You would NEVER do that though would ya Jenn???

Good christian? How so? Correct me if I'm wrong, but to be a christian would require a belief in your god. I don't need ideas from a book about a mythical being to be a good person.

A good atheist wouldn't talk back, so are you going to be a
good atheist?

In your wet dreams they don't "talk back". Yes, I'm a good atheist. Save that "don't talk back" crap for your old lady.

Funny...the thought of atheists living any different than anybody else had not entered my mind.
A thought this topic did trigger, however, would be an atheists appearance. Well, not all atheists, just a few on this forum.
I would think, that they could easily be spotted by their much larger than normal head. Maybe...twice the normal size? Ya know...to hold those "super brains"? The superior "intellegence" that you dummy christians don't have.

Did Loretta Lynn do that song "Wet Dreams", maybe it was the Blue Miner.
I don't remember right now. Good atheist = Oxymoron.

Hi Jennifer,

As several people have said, we cannot spot an atheist by his/her appearance. And, I know there are many really nice atheists -- and some not so nice; just like we have in Christian circles.

But, Cage's response did trigger a memory for me. About 7 or 8 years ago, my daughter needed one more credit to get her BA degree. So, she took a World Religion class at our local Junior College.

In the class, the professor said they could earn extra credit by doing a special project, such as inviting someone to speak to the class.

She asked me to speak on Christianity to her class. Before I went in, she told me, "The class is made up of believers and non-believers. But, there is one atheist in the class." However, she did not tell me which one was the atheist.

After I spoke with the class and did a PowerPoint presentation, she and I were in the hallway talking. I told her, "The atheist was the guy sitting on the first row to my left, in the last seat. The guy with the goatee."

She said that he was the one and asked how I knew. It was nothing he said, for he did not speak. It was just something about his attitude, the way he sat, the way he listened. Somehow, I just knew he was the one atheist in the class -- and I was right.

Is this being prejudiced? No, it was just an intuitive response I had to this man. Maybe, as Cage said, it was his head, his goatee -- I don't know; but, I spotted him right away as I began my talk.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Never listened to Lynn and have no idea who blue miner is. What in your twisted mind makes a person bad because they're atheists?

Maybe he was the one looking bored and rolling his eyes. I can spot a christian before they declare it by watching them twitch and purse their lips, and then they get all red in the face.

No, Jennifer,

He sat very quiet and respectful. After all, his professor was watching. No, there was no outward expression or action -- just something within me that told me he was the atheist. I cannot explain it further than that.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
