Why can't Christians and atheists just get along already?

Question

So we have our differences. Why can't we move on with life already? Most of my friends are Christians, I'm not, and we're still friends. Why can't you all just get over yourself? One's religion (or lack thereof) is a poor thing to judge someone by. What happened to respect?

@aguyinthewoods: woah, sorry about you.

I take it back. I can't tell where the sarcasm starts and where it ends. That's what's so great about sarcasm.

Answer 1

They can get along, i have some friends that are atheists, jehova witnesses, catholic, etc... as long as we dont talk about religion and try to change the other person mind and faith we are good.

Its all about respect the other person faith and religion, is just that simple.

Answer 2

Who says Christian and Atheists can't get along? Many Christians work in an atheist environment. Don't tell me they argue all day long at work. I have atheist friends but I certainly don't judge them or dis-respect them because they are not Christians. Christians should not judge people anyway. Just pray for their salvation.

Christians are probably the most tolerant people around. They can accept all kinds of people as friends I mean they befriend people in prison, from drug rehab and they forgive criminals!

So what if you hear about stories of Jesus Christ and how you can be saved. So what if I hear stories of evolution and God does not exist theories. In the end, what matters is which story you are going to believe.

Answer 3

Who says Christian and Atheists can't get alongside? Many Christians artwork in an atheist environment. do no longer tell me they argue all day long at artwork. I even have atheist friends yet I rather do no longer choose them or dis-admire them because of the fact they do no longer look to be Christians. Christians shouldn't choose human beings besides. merely pray for their salvation. Christians are probable the main tolerant human beings around. they could settle for each and every form of people as friends I mean they befriend human beings in reformatory, from drug rehab and that they forgive criminals! So what in case you hear approximately thoughts of Jesus Christ and user-friendly procedures to be stored. So what if I hear thoughts of evolution and God does no longer exist theories. interior the top, what concerns is which tale you will have faith.

Answer 4

because christians from the beginning,have killed,slaughtered,and persicuted anyone who wouldnt join them.innocent people were burned as witches,children were mutilated in exorsisims because they couldnt diagnose the real cause of thier problems..and they hound atheists constantly to try to convert them.they created evil and hell as a way to control us,fear of being tossed into an eternal fire would make most men change thier wild ways,at least in simpler times.i personally believe in God and the bible,but i dont consider myself christian.i pray,believe,and live on some semblence of faith but im not preaching,and not trying to convert.i still live a normal life,and drink sometimes,cuss all the time,and have had more pre marital sex then any man ive ever met.but i dont believe we are going to hell.i dont bother with other people,and dont bother the atheists or the christians.the world would be a better place if the whole world would keep thier nosed out of other peoples lives...have a great day.

Answer 6

the bible says "what harmony can their be between darkness and light". We can't get along because atheists want to destroy us. Most true Christians look at non believers as someone who is lost and they pray for them, but atheists, or at least most who claim to be atheists, want to run religious people completely out of the country. And it is Christians who founded this country. From The mayflower compact, to the constitution, The word God is peppered throughout.

Answer 7

because we have our differences and that's what makes us unique. We have differences of opinions and we quarrel about them. Isn't America great because of that. I'm a Christian and I know that I'm right. Anyone who thinks othewise is wrong. That's just what I believe. On the other hand the Athiest know's they're right and I may convert a couple and vise versa and some may never be convinced but that's what's great about America.

Answer 8

It's because the fundamentalist Xians, (not the majority, but by far the most vocal group) think that they have the right to tell the rest of the country how to live.

Are you anti-abortion? Fine, don't get one, but don't try to prevent anybody else from having one.

Are you against same-sex marraige? That's great, don't get married in a same-sex union, but don't prevent Ted from marrying Brian.

You want your kids to learn creationism? Good for you, take them to church, but don't make my kids learn your mythology as fact.

Answer 9

" Can two walk together unless they be agreed?" However I do get along very well with one Jewish person. We have a lot in common. And he knows a lot about the Old Testament. And he doesn't "throw me out the door when I speak about Christ."

Answer 10

because christians are self-loving basterds who try to push thier religion on anyone who isn't already brain washed and athiests know this and don't like it. mainly becaue aiethiests believe in freedom of religion and speech and all that other bill of rights stuff and christians think anythign agaisnt god should be banned

Answer 11

They do in my part of the world where it is a mixture of many beliefs. How we do it - we do not talk about religion in public nor trouble others trying to show it down their throats.
