Good posts, but you'll probably get an ear full for it.
I always add, "any of the bible is a myth/lie stuff will be ignored." And then, I ignore it!
Im confused why atheists always ask questions about God, and get all made when someone says "faith" or "belief". Atheists have faith and belief that they are right too, and want to keep theirs, and take our rights to faith and belief away, just cause they dont like the answers. Its irritating.

The only questions I answer are those that are stated in an opinionated manner. If someone is asking about a bible quote I skip it.
I have no problem who practices what belief system. I never tell them they are wrong even if I am in disagreement with their theology because everyone has the right to pick the path they see fit.

I will speak the truth: their belief systems are a lie, I do not respect those beliefs, and you have no reason to respect those beliefs.
But love the people themselves. They are caught in sin and need prayer and understanding.
"Love the sinner, hate the sin."
There is only one way to God and to salvation, and that is by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. You do not get there by doing good things, and there are not multiple ways to get there.
ONE WAY TO HEAVEN: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6). Similarly, the apostle Peter said: "And there is salvation in no one else [Jesus]: for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Saying "all paths lead to God" sounds nice and tolerant, but is not true.

im not goign to defend or reject what religon is right or wrong, peopel have theri own beliefs, and you seem like a decent person becaus eobviously you dont bash other peoples questions about religon . . .unfortunetly there are christians out there that shun a belief if it is not the same as thiers, and therefore they do come down on people questions. Im not sayign anythign bad about you or your religon, just that some christians do bash people for not believeing, and if christianity has taught me one thing it is to be more accepting, as far as i knwo nowhere in the bible does it say "act like your better than non belivers and belivers of other faiths" . . .all im tryign to say is if peopel dont liek others questions, dont answer them, dont be rude, just go on to another question

Sorry... no can do. It cannot be helped. Rational people have a moral obligation and ethical responsibility to intervene and attempt to protect vulnerable minds when we see the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders being presented as some sort of 'cosmic truth' about the nature of existence and reality. We are not trying to influence you... we are trying to protect people who might otherwise be influenced BY you... in other words, we are trying to protect people FROM you.
It's not that we think you are evil, or anything like that... to the contrary, you are just extraordinarly gullible, and somehow you have been duped into thinking it is your religious duty to fill the world with willful ignorance, and eschew and undermine knowledge and rational thought.
Nothing personal.

I've had Christians tell me my life is a lie. It's good that you respect our non-belief, but not everyone from your religion is as open minded as yourself.
Christians are free to believe as they want, but there comes a time when all people suffer due to someones ignorance, this is what must be stopped.

I hear ya.
I keep hearing atheists hollering about Christians trying to shove our beliefs down their throats, but since I've been in this forum, it seems quite the opposite.
They talk about how "intelligent" they are, but, since I've been here, I haven't noticed too many of them coming up with any original thoughts...just the same old theme over and over again.
They holler about how Christians don't have a sense of humor, but...hoo, boy, poke fun at one of them, and just watch what happens! Very few of them appreciate sarcasm unless they are the ones dishing it out.
It makes me very sad for them. Especially when I know the end of the road for them.
What a waste!!

I think that athiests and satanists should look beyond the facts and take knowledge. I hear stories about them not believing in doctors and leave their family to die and all I thought was if someone was dying of cancer or something you don't take them to a hospital. God and jesus have guided my everyfootstep or have been right next to me. When I ask them ofr guidance, they help me. I believe that Jesus shed his blood in our mercy when all we did was treat him like crap, but that is what we are supposed to do. Live, laugh, forgive, and love. In times of war or hurricanes or anything god should and always be our savior.

I think it is great to specify "Christians only" in some of your questions :-)
I am so certain you are a kind person, but I have to let you know that atheists, agnostics, ... are also constantly laughed at.
I suggest you to pray before posting a question, and to sytematically specify "Christians only".
I am sure that your faith will be guiding you while typewriting :-)
You know, theists need atheists & non-theists: it forces us to evolve, to improve, to go ahead - whatever it seems.
But when you feel more fragile in your faith, please feel your faith deeply before typewriting any question.
We need one another - whatever it seems.
Don't pay attention to the non-christians who answer in spite of your "Christians only": trust your faith, overcome these pixels and only focus on the answers that bring the light you need.

"We do not come down on your questions and proclaim your life as a lie"
By "we" you mean "you"
Many do. Get used to it, and Have a Nice Day.

"Your probably right.
I haven't noticed too much because atheists and naturalists only have rationalizing and cheap reasonings (or devices) to work with. I hardly notice when they blab."
Cheap? You mean like "faith"
