Christians: Should Atheists be considered the Anti-Christ? If they don't believe, why do they target us?

Question

I've had the displeasure of comunicating with quite a few Atheists, who've made it quite clear, that they don't believe in a God.

Then why is Christianity so very fascinating? I haven't met an atheist who has not targeted Chriatians, What about 9/11? did Christians cause that?

If Atheists are collectively indifferent to all religeons, why do the act as if they are vindicating Satan's cause?

Snakeman11426, in this particular section, there are a lot of known Atheists, who shall remain nameless at this time, who've mocked and jeered Christianity. All I'm saying is if they don't believe in any specific religeon, why is their main focus of contention CHRISTIANITY?

Pascal, my "communicating" with Atheists does not mean that I've tried to convince anyone of them to believe in God, My Heavenly Father. It means simply that I've answered some of their Yahoo questions, and from what I've gathered, most of those questions, were provocative and verbally assaulted Christianity.

London_calling, thanks for expressing your opinion, but BadGod, would definately disagree with you on that, considering all the hate messages that I've received.

BluueNikki, It is a PLEASURE meeting you too! FINALLY I've met an Atheist who isn't targeting Christianity! and I agree, yes there are SOME Christians who do try to force their beliefs on Ateists, Non-believers and unbelievers, thankfully I'm not one of them.

Stacy_flutterby, Are you a Mormon, cause you certainly know a lot about them? I mean does it matter what denomination I'm from? Don't all Christians love and serve one God? What exactly do YOU know about the Anti-Christs? IF you choose to know exactly what the Bible says about the Anti-Christ, you'll find it in 1st John Chap. 2 ver. 18-27.

May God continue to bless you, and do enjoy the rest of your day.

Julie, didn't you get the part about "Christians" and "us", I am a Christian and I love and serve one God, and He is My Heavenly Father.

Answer 1

Anyone who denies that Jesus is the Son of God is anti-Christ.

This I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

Answer 2

Don't be a moron. Even I know what the Bible says about the Anti-Christ. No regular person is the Anti-Christ, and no group of people are Anti-Christs.

The Anti-Christ is a prophesied person during the supposed Great Tribulation. According to the Bible, he will come after the rapture of all the saints (Christians). He will make the whole world (not just a few people, but the whole world) think that he has all the answers for world peace.

So, no. Athiests are not the Anti-Christ. Just because you have had the displeasur of communicating with quite a few of them doesnt make them a prophesized being.

Your last question, "did Christians cause 9/11?" is also a good indication that you may be a moron.

Answer 3

many muslims would say that christians did indeed cause 9/11 - the middle east is full of people who see 9/11 as a very small payback for america's long-term and murderous war on islam.

but muslims are not atheists. atheists would be more likely to suggest that 'religion' caused 9/11 - since historically speaking wherever there have been two religions there has eventually been bloodshed.

many christians contemn islam because a handful of muslims killed 3,000 people in new york on 9/11.

many atheists contemn christians because an army driven by a born again president has murdered 43,000 iraqi civilians in reprisals.

Answer 4

Atheists should not be considered as Anti-Christ or Satanists-the word means that they just don't believe in any God or Goddess.They believe that our soul/consciousness dies with our body,that's the whole philosophy.
The thing about disliking Christians is a completely different story.I have a problem with them because they are claiming that they are tolerant,but they aren't when it gets to it;they like following rules to feel save and they dislike people who actually use their free will(given by God,by the way)and I have to tell once more that the whole story is unbelievably inconsistent.

Answer 5

"I've had the displeasure of communicating with quite a few Atheists, who've made it quite clear, that they don't believe in a God."

Yes, that's kind of the definition of an atheist. If you consider making it clear that we do not believe your religion to be "targeting" Christians, then it's really no wonder you feel the way you do. Disagreeing with you is not targeting you, no matter how much you might need to believe that it is to feed your martyr complex.

Answer 6

Clearly your knowledge of the English language is lacking. But given your choice of reading material, that does not surprise.

The Latin prefix "a-" means "without", thus an atheist is a person without belief in a "god" or "gods". The ludicrous term "anti-christ" is made up of two parts: "anti-", meaning against, and "christ" or in Greek, "christos", meaning "saviour".

Atheists are "unpleasant"? At least any unpleasantness is due to frank and brutal honesty, unlike the hypocrisy and disingenuousness one can find in 99% of christians.

Answer 7

Atheists are a little bit made at those with faith. I think because we believe there is more to life and even death then they do. If follow pretty much any faith when you die you believe that if you were good you will go someplace good (like Heaven) or something nice will happen to you. If you are Atheist then you believe when you die that's it you simply no longer exist.

So I'm walking around happy thinking I'm going to heaven in a few years mean while my Atheist friend thinks he is just going to be totally gone from the universe. He would have to be mad that I am almost happy about death and he fears it so, so what does he do, he tries to make me believe what he believes so we can be scared together.

Answer 8

I don't think that's a fair statement.

I've met people who self-proclaimed "Christian" who I thought were very bad people and they had more characteristics as the "anti-Christ".

Equally, I've met Atheist who were the most giving, kind, and socially aware people I have ever met. They respected that other people did not believe as they did.

Not all non-Christians are against Christianity - which is the significance of the anti-Christ.

Answer 9

Sweetie, not all atheists are like that. Please kindly do not lump us all in the same pot as the immature "atheists" who may not know what atheism is about. :-)

I know I don't, in your questionable words, "target christians". Ta-da! Very nice to meet you! You just met an atheist who does not want to, quoting you, "target christians". I am here to learn, not to berate anyone. I kindly ask for the same respect as I already give it. :-)

Christianity is "fascinating" cuz it is a religion with one of the largest number of followers in the world. Atheists have to put up with SOME christians berating them left, right, up, down, side-to-side, and all the way around. Sadly, some of us are reacting to the harsh treatment we have recieved from SOME christians.

Notice I said the word "Some". :-) I know not all christians are like that, and I find it comforting to know that. :-)

Answer 10

In the west, Christianity is the dominant religion, so of course it's going to be singled out in particular. It's the religion posing the greatest threat to my freedom for now, with Islam a close runner up.

Answer 11

I am an atheist and I think the problem that you are addressing is that most atheists were former Christians and in their mind they are angry at the establishment that they left. Another side of it is that society in general is more Christian than other religions and is better known.
