Why are Atheists proud?

Seriously, I would think that not beleiving in anything is depressing.

I am not trying to troll, mock out Atheist's way of thinking or undermine them in any way. Just looking for an answer.

I'm not proud, it's just the way I am.

It's like saying why are religious people so eager to believe in eternal damnation? Isn't that more depressing?

"Not believing in anything"

Wow. Are you trying to say that just because I don't believe in a God that life should be depressing? Au contraire.

Please don't impose how you would feel onto others.

Most people here are depressed, most people here are atheist, therefore most atheists are depressed. Fact.

So Christians are aloud to be proud because they think they got a free ticket into heaven?

ok...

Why are Christians/Muslims/Jews proud about believing in something for which there is zero evidence?

I think it's depressing that religious people devote their lives to something that does not exist, when their time could be better spent elsewhere, like making the world a better place.

Why shouldn't one be proud in their beliefs TC?

Don't know but they sure pick on other religions alot. Leave us alone :cry:. MgamerBD

Pot calling the kettle black... or something like that.

Maybe I'm proud because I sat down and thought long and hard about what I believed and what I didn't, and after a lot of introspection I came up with my own view of the world instead of the one my family wanted me to have. I'm not sure why I'd be ashamed to be an atheist.

Atheist here and i'm wondering the same question about religious people. What could be more depressing than living your entire life in fear of spending eternity in hell... or what could be more depressing than spending your entire life not living to the full because you're scared of going to hell or think you're going to heaven or think you'll be reincarnated. Atheists realise this is the only chance we get :) Brainkiller05

You are generalizing all religion,I am a Christian but believe more that positive acts and a positive state of mind directly affects the outcome in certain situations. I also do not believe heaven is a place just for Christians, I believe its a place for people across all religions and that its more how people live their life and treat others rather than going to church every weekend is how people are judged. I know its not a popular belief among Christianity, but its the way I feel.

Just because youre Aetheist doesnt mean that you live a depressing life... doesnt mean that youre going to hell or any of that. Maybe the end is just the end for you guys, and thats ok too.

The thought of being an atheist doesn't make me proud. I just see it as the way I am but hold no emotion to it.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"] But that's the problem with religion, you can't do everything that makes you happy without the threat of going to hell.Famiking

Yes, but that isn't the difference between depression and happiness.Famiking

yeh, dont even try to understand religeon. just hate on it, that makes the world a better place; because believing you'll suffer for eternity if your not a good person wouldn't make the world a better place. People like you who say ignorant statements like that dont give your beliefs a good name

Doesn't Christianity include Lutherans and such..?

And if so...I thought Lutherans believed that only God chooses who goes to heaven and who doesn't...

[ But if making the most of your life is being successful, helping out others, and doing all those other things like drinking and partying in moderation then religion is for you. MgamerBD

[QUOTE="Miroku32"] Oh, yeah; almost all christians think that because they believe in god, go to the mass then they have a free ticket to heaven they go to heaven even if they do bad things. Atmanix

From what i have read of Lutheranism...they believe there is a chest of merit...in this chest is the merit of all the good deeds done by the saints...and no one has the key to this chest except the Pope...who may dispense merit if necessary...otherwise they believe you'll go to Hell unless God chooses to save you...as far as i know at least..
