Why do some people, who claim to be good Christians say it's alright to condemn & insult Athiests or Agnostics

Answer 1

Not only that, they insult and condemn other Christians who they don't think are as "good" as them.

Answer 2

Christians are perfect only saved. Insult, definitely wouldn't be OK. You may elaborate on the definition of condemn. It is often misunderstood when Christians express what the bible has to say about something as coming from that person. Sometimes that's because the Christian may have sinned in the way they shared that information. Sometimes it may be that the person hearing it is offended and wants someone to blame for the offense and to an Athiest or Agnostic blaming God would make no sense.

Answer 3

because nobody is perfect !!!
people choose to believe in whatever. they strive to live by the 'rules' as they have been taught or understand them.
people get wraped up in their own beliefs. some people just cannot understand why somebody else feels differant
as to them teir belief has all the answers.
for some i feel it is confusion they are told on one hand to teach 'the way' but also to stay away from sinners. yet sinners have the easier path as all they have to do is ask for forgiveness (accepting their sin)and its a done deal !!
which leads me back to nobody is perfect and if you strive to be you wil fail all you can do is the best you can to follow your beliefs perfect example gay christians just because they believe and try to live their life as much as possible following the christian path but with an alternative life style does it make them less of a christian or just mortal maybe i should put this up as a question ????
the bible itself is taught but interpretation every time someone doesnt like a certain bit a new style arrives ie catholic was predominant till henry the 8th he didnt like something so along came church off england
the bible is supposidly the rules by god but written by man and enforced by man what can he expect

sorry if i rambled

Answer 4

There is no such a thing... Good Christians is just a name they give to themselves so nobody will think bad of them. Its a Mask!!!

There is no freedom of expression with them at ALL!!! Nobody can question anything cause they are the most aggressive and intolerant people I've ever come across.
In a way all that is because that is the last resource they can use to keep their Fallacy...

Answer 5

As a Christian, I would say it is not okay to insult anyone and I can not condemn you, that is God's job. However: it is my job, a commandment given by Jesus, Matt. 28 17-20, to preach and teach the Word: and Jesus said in Mat. 12: 30, "He that is not with me is against me;and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." This is plan and simple, there is no middle of the road.

Answer 6

Martin Luther (Remember him, the 15th century priest who split the catholic cult and advocated the murder of jews?) and St. Augustine of Hippo (more like hypocrites), along with many other christians, have always maintained that bearing false witness was perferctly acceptable if it "spread the word of jeezus".

Violence and lies are the foundation of all religion.

The godbot resorts to an insult. Typical hypochristian.

Answer 7

To belong to an organised christian group means that you believe that everyone outside that group is wrong and you are right. The bible is a book written by men, edited by politicians (emperors of rome) and twisted by wealthy business men (church leaders) to marginalise and critisise anyone who doesn't donate monies without question. If there is a God he will surely judge man by their compassion and understanding, man judging man (on his beliefs) is taking God's role and is therefore a blasphemy. I hope these bigoted self righteous biased and judgemental people can answer for their actions in the next life. Or perhaps they will return in a starving aids ridden Africa to see the "Christians" tell them condoms are evil while thay donate millions to churches and drive around in nice cars. It makes me vomit.

Answer 8

When i left the church after many years...had so much hate mail, i knew something was wrong with them all. All of the warrior religions are about kill;ing in verbal terms or in control,.
The true way is to get our own spirits totally in service to others only, this is helped by not eating meat and fish, and by worship of the one true spirit creator of all...no saviours
The Oahspe the true Bible tells all

Answer 9

this is one of the things i have to put up with - i am an athiest and im regualry aproached by (mainly) christians trying to use this "building without a builder" argument on me..... all im saying with my belifs is yes, something got us here, but it wasnt a "god" as such.... it could have been a dust particle or something stupid like that.... all im saying is dont belive everything you hear.

and how a christian has the right to condemm someone who isnt of their religion is a mystery to me.... it all adds up to the churches brutal history.

oh, and most racists it turns out are christian

Answer 10

Pure ignorance. They just don't know any better--yet. But, it isn't for us to judge them, any more than it is for them to condemn and insult atheists or Agnostic.

Answer 11

Are they TRUE Christians? Lots of people say that they are so that they can be okay in their own minds with all the hateful stuff that they do to others. What one says & what one does are often a contradiction.
