Is it wrong to become an Atheist because contributing to the collection plate just isn't economically viable?

Question

I think we'd all agree, h**l IS a lot cheaper. And do the Atheists still meet at Starbucks on Sunday?

Answer 1

lol

That is not a good reason to decide what to believe, but it is FUNNY!

I usually stay home and catch up on some sleep!

Answer 2

are you still religious? that question is making me believe that you dont really believe anymore anyway. im an atheist and i dont think its wrong.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

Yes it is wrong.

No h**l is not cheap. Consindering Eternity has no end.

Answer 5

Wow....Starbucks?  That's way too much like going to church.

I agree with you though....to belong to a church sucks your soul and your wallet dry.  I prefer hanging at home with my awesome family.  Granted, they suck my wallet dry too, but I can keep my soul.

Answer 6

Sure why not.

I gave up coffee a while ago.

Answer 7

This atheist doesn't, what a waste of money that place is... Both a church and Starbucks.

But, the only reasonable reason to become an atheist is because you are of the considered view that there is no deity. Thats why I am one. If there are side benefits, well, thats fine, but thats not why I am one.  

Answer 8

you do what you can but do not turn your back on god

korkie

Answer 9

Do you really think it's that easy?  Being an atheist is being free from voodoo, liberated from delusion, owner of your own mind and brain.  It's not everybody that can doit.  It takes very strong-willed people to get there and ditching the collection plate ain't the motivation or the path to it

Answer 10

If a person is so shallow as to change his principles over loose change, he deserves a lot of "alone time" in a mental institution. =)

Answer 11

Better a cheap Christian than a Rich Atheist

Answer 12

It is okay if you can not contribute financially to charity. There are other was to contribute to the world than with just money. Many people give their time and love. If you do not believe in a higher power you still need to believe in helping those who are less fortunate. As a human being we have to be concerned with poverty, injustice, and providing a future for the next generation. Anything less is not acceptable.

Answer 13

Hah?

Way to not understand, and not care, what atheism is, Wikipedia it fool.

Answer 14

Yes, it is wrong.

If you're turning away from God just because you don't like the fact that your church is asking for a little money to fund everything, then you're doing something wrong and need to rethink the decision.

Answer 15

*spits out drink* STARBUCKS?!

How dare you. . . .  

Answer 16

Well you could just not give and still be a believer. The word says to give of your heart.. obviously, your heart is not very giving... (financially)

Answer 17

Totally Cheaper! Plus satan told me I could have all the marshmallows for roasting I want so NAH! He likes me better than anyone! MUAHAHAHAH

Answer 18

I prefer Costa's coffee.

Answer 19

lame reason to become an atheist.

Answer 20

Nope, it's perfectly reasonable.!

Answer 21

It's possible to believe in God but not go to church. So I'd say it's not wrong to become an Atheist for economical reasons, yet it's not logical. If you want to be an Atheist it should be because your views fall in line with the views considered to be Atheist.

Answer 22

That's a dumb reason to become an Atheist.  There are much better ones, but WELCOME TO THE CLUB anyway!

Answer 23

Heaven is a 'pay now enjoy later' scheme, while h**l is a 'enjoy now pay later' scheme.

h**l has added interest rates that makes it costlier.

Answer 24

Naw I never liked Starbucks, they buy their coffee beans from third world countries where the wage is so low and Starbucks doesn't have a problem exploiting them. I also don't like drinking milk that has been taken from cows that have been artificially injected with growth hormone.
