Atheists and conflict resolution (view source)
Revision as of 16:00, September 24, 2019
, 16:00, September 24, 2019→Atheism and forgiveness/unforgiveness
{{Cquote|At least [[Christianity|Christians]] have to pay lipservice to [[forgiveness]] because they believe it’s what [[God]] wants from them. Do atheists have any such compunction? I fear that we have no mechanism which compels us as a community to be kind to each other, to speak to one another with respect

The [[Saint Paul|Apostle Paul]] taught about love that "it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered.." (1 Corinthians 13:5 NASB). See: [[Atheism and love]]
The ''Christian Post'' reports about the Christian philosopher James S. Spiegel's book ''The Making of an Atheist'':
{{Cquote|Spiegel, who converted to Christianity in 1980, has witnessed the pattern among several of his friends. Their path from Christianity to atheism involved: moral slippage (such as infidelity, resentment or unforgiveness); followed by withdrawal from contact with fellow believers; followed by growing doubts about their faith, accompanied by continued indulgence in the respective sin; and culminating in a conscious rejection of God.<ref>[http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-philosopher-explores-causes-of-atheism-44353/ Christian Philosopher Explores Causes of Atheism]</ref>}}
