Why do most Christians refuse to give atheists any kind of credit?

Question

I ask questions that was set up for "Atheist" to be the obvious answer just to see what Christians would say. Every Christian refused to say "Atheist" because it would have given atheists credit. That's insanity.

Here are some examples

Which child is less likely to believe that there's an angel on top of the roof if a stranger told him.

A. A child being raised an Atheist
B. A child being raised a Christian

Note: Not one Christian chose A

Which child is more likely to grow up being good relying on these circumstances?

A A Christian child that is taught he's born a filty rag and god will forgive him and love him no matter what he does?

B. An atheist child that is taught he's born good and he's expected to have a high standard of behavior

Note: Not one Christian chose B

Isn't the answer obvious

This is why I dont trust Christians who know im an atheist

Answer 1

Yes, that's a real problem you have there, you give excellent examples. Be sure to keep taking your medications.

Answer 2

First of all....give you credit for what? What sort of credit/justification are you looking for?

Secondly, you are testing your friends or people that are Christians. That is not the way to answer your questions.

Thirdly, why are you an Atheist? What makes you believe in Atheism?

A Christian would not answer the questions you asked the way you want them to ask. They will always choose the Christian answer.

Are you questioning your own beliefs?

Additionally, if you raise a child to be an Atheist, and teach him/her they are expected to do the right thing, what are you teaching them about what will happen to them if they DON'T do the right thing?

Are you teaching them they are like animals when they die? They just cease existing? What if you are terribly wrong? If you deny the existance of God, God will deny the existance of you and you will not have everlasting peace. You will go to...you know where...for ever; never ending. Are you will to risk that for an eternity?

Hmmm....you need to examine why you are what you are; why you are asking these "testing" questions; and whether or not you are actually confident in your beliefs.

Answer 3

You have got to be kidding! Do you think you conducted a a scientific study?
How do you KNOW, "most Christians", have anything to do with the answers on this forum?
If you load a question or answer with ,"most", whether it be atheists or Christians, you have already polluted the pool!
Regarding the so called 'Christians' on this forum, there really are very few actual Christians here. A simple comparison with what the Bible says and what they say shows this to be true.
The fact you say the question that was a 'set up', and that atheists do not get 'any credit', shows you are just pompous enough to be looking to stroke your ego.
Do you maybe believe that stroking your ego 100 times a
day will make it beautiful and shiny?
How about reversing your inquiry, and testing the atheists?
As we have all seen, "most atheists" are standing on the same soapbox as "most Christians".
You have proven nothing bar the fact that you might be the mirror of what you are attempting to debunk.
Try again.
As the soup Nazi says "NEXT".

Answer 4

I use "atheist". We all just believe what we believe. Most Christians are going to answer the way a Christian would answer...and most Atheists are going to answer the way an atheist would answer. I would have chosen A to the first question and I am a Christian. And I would have chosen A for the second question because that is what I believe ( not that we are born a filthy rag, but that we are born sinners)....an atheist would have chosen B because that is what they believe.

Answer 5

Do you believe in a creator? Past whatever they it? Do you believe that a single entity created the earth? If so you are considered a Sabian. All that means is that you believe in the oneness of God. Which is funny cause it makes you less likely to burn in Hell than Christians. God said he will FILL the gates of hell. If God made something that last an eternity. Why would he only put a few into it. How many chrsitians have their been? Just remember that. Know there is only one god. and you are good.

Answer 6

First question~ Christians do give credit where credit is DUE!

Second! Why would a Christian chose contrary to their own beliefs? and why would an A-theist, believe in Angels? They are heavenly beings as well, and are GOD'S messengers.

Third! Because Christians know, it doesn't matter how "good" we are, we don't make heaven on our own merit, it is only through the shed Blood of Jesus. AND if people are inherently "good" who teaches the toddler to tell his first lie?

Answer 7

First of all let me say that most Christians give the atheist all the credit that is due them which is not an awful lot --granted--but really it's all that's due them

Next--it's extremely interesting to me that in this one brief run of diatripe you have accomplished A--an admission that you Set Up questions for a desired response B--engineer your questioning to lead people and C--admit that you yourself "don't trust Christians" after accusing them of not giving credit to you

For someone who evidently has an ajenda---running around with the ID---Atheists Rule---to speak of getting credit from the people that they so rabidly and consistently hack on is literally pathetic---and as far as your rule is concerned it is about 4 inches short of a full foot--if you need the full foot --my advice would be to look in your mouth

Answer 8

Christian children are more likely to believe in spiritual things than Atheist children. Duh.

But question 2? The correct answer IS B. When children learn from an early age that they are responsible to God for their actions on earth, they will have a greater incentive to "be good" than just "oh,well, there's nobody out there watching but be be good anyway."

Answer 9

Well when you twist and turn your questions so obviously you loose respect almost immediately. But hey I was an Atheist at one time myself and now thank God I'm a Christian. And as you see I give all that thanks to God and not myself or to correct you my righteousness or good works or deeds which are as filthy rags. So what was your complaint.?! that we wouldn't use the word atheist oh well whatever dude.

Answer 10

Why do most Atheists refuse to give Christians credit? It works both ways.

Answer 11

First of all, if you were a true athiest, you would be totally against all gods---not just the Christian God. Personally, I think you are just too afraid to admit that the Christian God is the true god, so you are just trying to put us Christians down. I think you know the truth, but you're too afraid to admit it.
