Why does those of us with faith make the atheists feel scared?

Question

Have you noticed how angry atheists get for us expressing our faiths? They act almost intimidated by us. Shouldn't we Christians, Muslims, and Jews pray for these poor misguided souls?

I do not get angry at them. They have the right to their beliefs. I have the right to mine. It's just that they do seem to blow up and get angrier in their next post.

Who is really worrying what we are doing is discussing. The same way I have seen hundreds of others of different or non existent beliefs doing in this forum.

Answer 1

Why do atheists upset you so much? We're not challenging you or demanding that you change your views. We aren't asking Christians, Muslims or Jews to stop what they're doing. We're the only group that seems to keep you awake at night. Stop worrying about us! We'll be fine, thanks!

Answer 2

If your in the mood for praying or can rally the troops for a pray- a -thon throw a few my way, I'm working on something big right now and could really use the edge. I'm not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, I am misguided; but I'm not an atheist. So I figure two out of three and I'm good for a few of those prayers. In regard to your question I feel it is the ability of Godly people to bring down the crushing wraith of the all powerful One in an organized and unified manner, as demonstrated by the engagements in what is the central Holy place and surrounding regions for the afore mentioned religions. Heck I'm a believer in God and that scares me too. So I hope we're okay with those prayers, eh? This could just tip it over for me, oh yeah. Thank you for this question.

Answer 3

Honestly, I seen everyone fighting on here. There are some wacked out people in every group you've mentioned in your question.

Why don't we all just go about our merry ways and try to find things to bring us together, instead of pointing fingers and referring to others as "poor" or "misguided."

You're no better than anyone else ... you just have a different belief. Ever think that you could be misguided? After all, the Bible does have a lot of missing pages.

Im also a Pagan. lets face it christians and muslims have a lousy track record. the dark ages the inquisitions the crusades(both catholics and protestants funded the crusades so none of your clap trap that they were not) the IRA comwells reign of terror the witchtrials in Salem and Europe, slavery in the Civil war era, the banning and burning of books, cats and people because they dont agree with christianity. and the muslims have thier own problems like suicide bombers and forcing women into submission. Jehova is a war God and so is Allah. there are many Gods and Goddesses out there but none are/were as violent as the Gods of the Abrahamic three. You humans sure know how to pick em. Prayer harms people there have been studies that show that and prayer with the selfish intent of converting someone to your religion is beyond low class. it is despicable and will be countered with a reflection spell. Prayer is a very condescending action btw, it shows that you are very rude and shallow.

Answer 5

These kinds of questions make them angry. Why the Hell would you "pray for them", genius? Why are THEY the misguided souls? It's fine to express faith, because they express their lack of it with a distinct passion, but come on and think.

This is, by far, the dumbest question to be posted, if only because of the profusely clashing of the idea and the subject. None of it makes a lick of sense, and I REALLY hope I'm not the only one to notice it..

Answer 6

And why do some theists get angry whenever their beliefs get challenged? Not all theists or atheist are like that, y'know? Most people, theist or atheist, don't care so much and are capable of tolerated other opinions or beliefs. It is the few radicals that are yelling at each other all the time.

Answer 7

I fear you not, as one without truth has no real power.

I don't have a soul, neither do you, so it seems irrational to assume it is misguided. You have taken the easy path of blind faith. If you are wrong you will never know, but I will.

Answer 8

The atheists I know (myself included) aren't scared. We respect the opinions and beliefs of others. We just don't like it when people try to force their beliefs on us. We don't like it when people tell us, "If you don't change your ways and believe in the same god I believe in, bad things will happen to you."

Not to point any fingers at any one religious group, but I've noticed that those people who claim to be loving and tolerant of others are the biggest hypocrites out there and scream the loudest when a person chooses not to conform to their beliefs.

But that's just my opinion. And like someone once said, opinions are like a**holes..... everyone's got one.

Answer 9

The atheists play the same game of winner vs outsider that the churches play and don't want to be the one to spill the beans and get ostracized from the game.

Answer 10

I'm an agnostic. But I have no doubt the divine hand of God will sweep aside the laws of physics, the forces of nature, and all that he has created to answer the little prayers of pretentious, presumptuous, pretty little pink toed prohpets, such as yourself. Amen, Amen (in a southern accent of course!)

Did you hear... God has a southern accent. It's taw-rue. He don told me hisself!

Answer 11

because God is a tender subject to everyone

i think deep inside, everyone believes in some god in some shape or form. its just our choice to believe it or to ignore it

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. John 3:19-20
