Is this a battle between Atheist and Christians?

Question

I've barely seen anybody from a different religion....maybe some jews, wiccans, or muslims, but for the most part I feel like it's Christians against Atheists....would you agree? why do Christians only care about defending their religion against atheist and Atheists only care about defending their beliefs against Christians

Answer 1

Freebird...I so agree with you on this. Because there are people from each side who try to antagonize. Some may not even be aware that they are doing it.

And you know what is interesting is that the atheists feel that the Christians are really nasty to them and the Christians feel that the Atheists are really nasty to them. Each side does not see that they are contributing to the fact.

So, the real question here is, can we respond without being offensive?

Walk in love because a soft answer turns away wrath.

Answer 2

In other regions, religion is more prominent. There would be less agnostics or atheists. From babyhood on, they are not given a chance to wonder about other possibilities.
What's sad is they don't have the truth either.

At least here, there is freedom of choice.
We just need to save them if we can.
And of course, peacefully.
When things heat up, back away, even 'shaking the dust off the feet', if neccessary, as instructed in the Bible.
If they won't listen to us, maybe they'll listen to another christian, later and seethe light. Hope you can use this answer.

Atheism and Christianity are the two biggest, and most out spoken religions/religious expression in the English speaking world, and the rest of the communities out there really don't care what others believe they are just trying to live as best they can. I get into the mix from time to time only when I feel up to dealing with dueling dogmas.

Answer 4

In the west, which is who is primarily participating here, 80% of the population is Christian. The remaining 20% is comprised primarily of the nonreligious (15% atheist, 5% other).

These are simply the two largest segments of the English speaking world, so it stands to reason they would focus on eachother.

That said, I actually don't feel the need to defend my position. If it fails to defend itself, I'll just change positions.

Answer 5

Christians, Jews and Muslims all hold to a belief in one God. They have more in common than Atheists who directly oppose this in their belief that there is no God.

In the Western world, Christians are in more abundance than Jews or Muslims. In a forum like this, you're more likely to get responses from the dominant group and its opposition.

Answer 6

I am of a different belief system than Christian or Atheist and participate regularly in the discussions/debates/agruements here in YA. Really there isn't a battle...it's just a matter of allowing yourself the privlege of QUESTIONING (a sin) your faith a little bit. Stretch your brain a little and LEARN something different...Check the Uncommon Denomination at WWW.UUA.ORG. PEACE!

God—an eternal, Uncreated Being? In our accepted experience, almost each and everything seems to have a commencing up. surely, the regulations of technology coach that even issues which look the comparable by way of our lifetime, such because of the fact the sunlight and different stars, are, truthfully, working down. The sunlight is making use of up its gasoline at tens of millions of lots each and each 2d—because of the fact the sunlight can't final perpetually, it had to have a commencing up. the comparable could properly be shown to be authentic for the finished universe. So while Christians declare that the God of the Bible created all the uncomplicated entities of existence and the universe, some will ask what seems to be a logical question: “Who created God?” the very first verse interior the Bible announces: “interior the commencing up God ... .” there is no attempt in those words to teach the existence of God or mean in any way that God had a commencing up. surely, the Bible makes it clean in many places that God is exterior time. he's eternal, devoid of commencing up or end. He is likewise conscious of all issues, being infinitely clever. Is it logical, however, to settle for the existence of such an eternal being? Can modern technology, which has produced our technologies of computers, area shuttles, and medical advances, even enable for the type of thought?a million What could we seek for? What evidence could we expect to locate if there quite is a limiteless God who created all issues because of the fact the Bible claims? How could we even comprehend the hand of such an all-powerful (all-effectual) author? The Bible claims that God knows all issues—he's omniscient! as a result, he's infinitely clever. to correctly known His handiwork, you will could be attentive to the thank you to correctly known the evidence of the works of His intelligence. How do we comprehend the evidence of Intelligence? Why do scientists exchange into so excited while they locate stone procedures inclusive of bones in a cave? The stone procedures coach signs and warning signs of intelligence. The scientists comprehend that those procedures ought to no longer have designed themselves yet that they seem to be a made of clever enter. for this reason, the researchers rightly end that an clever creature exchange into in charge for making those procedures.

Answer 8

lol yea it seems like all it is Christians vs. Atheists. I guess if anyone else attacked Christianity as hard as atheists do then they would probably defend it against them too.

Answer 10

It's mostly just boredom on the part of the atheists. Christians, on the other hand, actually believe that they need to save people.
