Defee, if you believe in God, you have chosen to reject Allah, Vishnu, Budda, Waheguru and all of the thousands of other gods that other people worship today. It is quite likely that you rejected these other gods without ever looking into their religions or reading their books. You simply absorbed the dominant faith in your home or in the society you grew up in.
In the same way, the followers of all these other religions have chosen to reject God. You think their gods are imaginary, and they think your God is imaginary.
In other words, each religious person on earth today arbitrarily rejects thousands of gods as imaginary, many of which he/she has never even heard of, and arbitrarily chooses to "believe" in one of them.
The following quote from Stephen F. Roberts sums up the situation very nicely:
Remember, atheism entails the absence of belief in the existence of God or other deities. One cannot practice satanism or anything that is supernatural while being an atheist.
It's always strange to note that people associate with atheists as evildoers, wicked, lost, paranoid, confused while on the other hand religious people believes in an invisible man in the sky with a white beard.
You dont understand...I only believe in one God, my Heavenly Father,
not Allah, Budda, etc. cuz that is different kind of religion, dont you
understand so of course i dont worship Allah, Buddah, etc. geez.
As for me thinking atheists as evildoers, of course i dont think they are,
I already told you guys, I DO NOT THINK THAT WAY..I realize a lot of
atheists are nice, decent people who have jobs and families..they happen
to be people who dont believe in God, that is fine with me...i RESPECT
that!! ok...I NEVER SAID THAT ATHEIST ARE EVIL, WICKED, LOST,
PARANOID OR NOTHING..WHERE DID I SAY THAT? IF I SAID, SHOW ME
THAT, GEEEEZ. It must be somebody else saying that, NOT ME.
If i want to believe in God, that is my business as well it is your business
to be atheist! ok? You respect me and I respect you!!
Have a good day!!
