Why is it all these "open-minded, free" people are so scared of God?

its so funny to me that all these people who are so againts religion and God are so "open-minded." I would think open minded people are willing to try new things. what would it hurt to try praying for something one time? What would it hurt to get out of your mp3 player and read Matthew in the New Testament? What would it hurt? Are you going to burn up if you touch a bible? Doubtfull. We are all sinners. Try something new. Even if it's not the cool thing to do. You don't have to tell anybody about it. Just give it a shot. The worst that could happen is nothing. Are you scared? Just because you can't see him.

I've read the bible cover to cover three times... and that doesn't begin to cover the time I spent reading the Tanakh or Qur'an. That's just time spent on the Abrahamic religions... and the tip of the iceberg, because I talked to priests/preachers, rabi, and imam too. I debated religion at every opportunity.

Also lets not forget most atheists *were christian at some point*, 85% of the people in the united states are christian. I was raised christian and practiced for about 12 years and didn't actively reject the idea of a personal god for another 10+.

I challenge you--
Read the Tanakh (Predecessor to Christianity)
Read the Qur'an (Successor to Christianity)
Read Dawkin's The God Delusion.
Get a good understanding of the theory of evolution and abiogenesis.

Like you said, I guarantee you won't burn up if you touch any of those books. Try something new. The more you know, the better you can debate.

Most atheists are well versed in Christianity, I can't say the same about most Christians understanding of evolution and abiogenesis... in all honesty, I can't say most Christians that I've talked to and debated with over the years have even bothered to read the bible cover to cover they just go by what they're told on Sunday.

Incidentally did you know that about 75% of the christian churches in the US officially agree with the theory of evolution and abiogenesis, including the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church (They just add the caveat that god started the process or gave humans the divine spark.)

Pretty much only your evangelical, fundamentalists, intelligent design proponents, young earth creationists, and biblical literalists are out of touch with basic scientific truths that have been proven.
