Curiosity a gentleman has stated that I am attacking others beliefs, How am I doing that?

Question

I have questioned atheists and evolutionists beliefs using their own logic. Prove it to me. Questioned them based on actual books and articles as well as my belief. I am just curious how is that attacking their beliefs?

Also if I have offended anyones religious beliefs then I apologize as I was not aware. Please tell me so so th at I can be more careful next time but questioning beliefs is not insulting them.

I have no problem with them quoting their books and articles I just choose not to always agree with them.

If you find this debate boring why enter into it?

Dear Don I am not actually trying to prove anyone wrong as I said previously I don't care How God created me I just believe He created me. I actually wanted to see if atheists took their beliefs that they say they don't have as seriously as us Christians. I actually enjoy a good discussion and do consider their comments. Do you think they consider us Christians? I personally think not I think they think ALL Christians are dumb and uneducated as many have alluded to.

Dr. Mr. McGeezy, when have I forced or tried to force anyone? I saw no violence. I have taken no offense by those who say they do not believe in God or Christ. That is their choice. I may pity them but then if you wish you may pity me for my lack of faith in modern science.

I questioned evolution mostly this time because it is the biggest argument I have seen atheists use to try and convince theists that they are wrong.Who knows who I will debate with/about tomorrow.

And Dear Radio if you have a problem with Religion and spirituality questions why enter the forum? That is why it is here is it not?We all have the free choice to debate or not debate.

Answer 1

Go right ahead and question. If what they believe in is real it can stand up for its self.

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Answer 2

Well, I had a look at your other questions, and you DO seem to have a bit of an obsession with evolution. I mean, you're not questioning buddhists about their belief in reincarnation, or Jews about why they don't accept Christ as saviour, just question after question questioning evolution, and expecting people to come in and defend it. If you respected others beliefs surely you would just let people believe what they wanted. But you've got a real bee in your bonnet about this, haven't you. You would be more dignified to keep quiet.

Answer 3

Athiests don't think of all Christians as dumb.

Blind is a better term. They have all the facts before them. But refuse to see them, as they want a more shiny answer.

Athiests can respect the blindness, as indoctrination is a tough thing to wrestle with, but they will always ask questions and make Thiests question themselves in order to break the mold.

Its a form of therapy.

Answer 4

Maybe because you try to force everyone to believe in your story book of fairy tales and myth rather than let other people observe and learn from the actual REAL world around all of us.
Get this through your head, as violated and threatened as you feel having me here bashing the Bible and challenging your belief in Christianity, so too do the people that YOU bash feel threatened by your ideas.
People naturally feel threatened when what they believe in is challenged by those who believe in something else.

Answer 5

An honest question deserves an honest answer, and an honest attempt at listening to the answer. I suspect that those you question discount not your questions, but your motives for asking them. For instance, why is it so important to you to prove other people wrong? Can you not instead make an example of your faith driven life and let that be a witness to your belief?

Answer 6

The Bible itself says that nature conjures up concept, some thing about mountains and stars. I actual ought to believe that because after being interior an similar room even as my daughter became born I purely ought to no longer believe that this became an twist of destiny. i understand it isn't any longer everyday, in spite of the indisputable fact that the better I realized about technological information and biology as a youthful guy, the better I felt that some hand had to be in it- issues were truly too proper to be an twist of destiny. ingredient is, it is why nature is proper, because even even as it isn't any longer perfection it suits into the plan- one way or the different.

Answer 7

Questioning someone's beliefs is not attacking them. If they are strong in their convictions and beliefs, they will relish the opportunity to defend them. The only reason they would consider you attacking them is if they are wavering themselves, and your questions make them second-guess their beliefs. This goes for Christians, Muslims, atheists, you name it. Part of the fun of religious or "non-religious" (i.e. atheism) discussions is that they cannot be proven out of hand.

Answer 8

The same way the are attacking Christian beliefs when they quote actual books and articles.

Answer 9

Being attacked is in the eyes of the beholder. Truth never has a disagreement with truth. Light never has a disagreement with light. It is only when darkness comes in and the energies are in one arena that something gets offended. Truth never gets offended.

Answer 10

Usually those that would take offense are insecure to begin with. Questioning things around you is what leads to understanding. Just ask questions with respect, and let the chips fall where they may.
