Fellow atheists: I have a friend who is a militant Christian, meaning, she thinks it's her job to convert everyone who isn't Christian into one, including me. She knows I'm atheist, but it really bothers me when she tells me that I'm going to hell for not believing in Christian ways. I've told her many times that I don't believe in a god, afterlife, or book of worship. Yet, she still has the nerve to constantly bring up "god" and how I NEED to be a Christian. Other than that, she's cool. Are there any ideas on how to get through to her that I really don't want her help when it comes to religion? I'm going to snap if she comments to me one more time.

There's really nothing you can do. Perhaps you can take solace in the fact that if she didn't care about you, she wouldn't care about you burning in her hell, anyway. What can you do? I can only imagine pretending to be converted would help, but that would certainly be a violation of principle.

Why do atheists believe there is no God? I hear a lot of arguments against organized religion but I don’t hear many actual ‘reasons’ that there is not or cannot possibly be a God? So what are thier reasons? (link)

Atheism is not in fact the disbelief in God, it is actually the lack of belief. Atheists do not necessarily actively disbelieve, they just do not believe. Why? Simply because most of them don't see any reason to believe in God. They do not find any compelling evidence to believe so. Also, as atheism is not an active denial of God(I speak of the inherent definition, not the colloquial dictionary version), there is no need to prove that the idea of God is impossible. After all, it is impossible to do just that. I hope this answers your question.
