A question to atheists?

Question

Why are all athiests anti Christians. Why is it that none of you, or any of the reknown atheists of our times, speaking up against the other religions. You all say Christ is not real and God doesn't exist. Why don't any of you ever say Budha doesn't exist, or Mohamed was not real? I think you all lost a very importantpart our your humanity and the fear and sorrow is making you hide behind each other.

Answer 1

I believe that buddha was real muhammed was real and so was jesus, but he was just a man not the son of "god" because there is no "god". I believe that there were great men that had great messages and those messages were distorted to the evil that is preached today.

I didn't hate christians until I started reading some of their posts on this site. Christians are angry and mean for the most part, they don't want anyone to have fun because they aren't having any and the send everyone who has a different opinion from theirs to hell. That is not a christian attitude to have. I a really non-religious person have more of a christian way of life than most of the people who claim to be christian.

So, to make a long story short, I don't hate christians, just hypocrites.

Answer 2

I don't know how many Atheist you know, but I am against ALL religion. Buddha does exist though,but he never claim to be a God. He was just a regular human being, and people decided to follow his teachings.

Now... Mohammed is just a cult leader that existed in the past, anybody who follows his teachings are just unfortunate beings.

Jesus may have existed but I doubt he was the son of God. Could have been just a guy that existed and people who documented his existence exaggerated.

Now God is truly some one, just like Allah, that nobody has proof that they exist.

And you are very mistaken, I think it is you who fear that there is no God that you desperately want to cling on to the belief that there is one.

What will all Christians do if it was ever proven there was NO God? Probably mass suicide?

Answer 3

What the heck is this?

What, you have seen a few nasty atheists on Yahoo Answers and decided on that?

1) I am not anti-Christianity. I encourage it if it helps you.

2) I think of all religions pretty much the same. In all honestly, the only test I put to religions is their ability to create or contribute to a long-term peace and and least moderately good world. You wanna know something else? Christianity goes pretty good on that scale, except that just like every other identity, people can exclude using it. (eg. thinking non-Christians are fearful or sorrowful). They just think that those without their religion are soooooo very dissimilar to them, when that is clearly not the case.

3) When Christians, like the people who are found most often on this forum, ask me what I think of their God, I tell them I don't believe in it sure. See me on a forum dominated by different views, and sure I'll tell them that I don't believe what they do either.

4) The majority of us simply disbelieve your God, rather than believe that he does not exist. It takes no faith that way.

I think that your faith is so central to you that if you think of someone without it you think about what you would be like without it, which is sadder (I won't deny that many religious people get comfort out of their religion). Therefore you conclude that atheists are sad.

Which is a pile of po o, pretty much.
Sure, you'll find a few snarky people here, and on the general internet, hearing "convert!" *10 000 is enough to drive most insane enough to be impolite.

Simply put, most atheists are more than content to leave Christianity and the other religions in peace if they would extend the same courtesy, and live good and fulfilled lives. This is not simply some illusion of happiness either.

Thank you for reading, hope you learn something, and hope you ignore the foolish answers, the end.

Answer 4

And Man made God in his own image, to oppress the masses, control the political climate of their times, and create fear to all those who oppose that dogma. Across the ages, there have been thousand of ersatz prophets, and an even greater number of fools who follow them, as if they could not think for themselves. If we trace the origins of most organized religious structures they all stem from a single source. Beginning with sun worship some 5000 years ago. Hence the use of the word "Amen" as an end to prayers, it used to be "ahmun ra". Hierarchical structures made it necessary for the evolution (pardon the use of the word) of a monotheistic entity i.e. one God. Too many gods confused the masses and made it difficult to control them. Jesus is just one of 14 different people who all suffered in the same manner, Shiva is another, as is Mohammad, Buddha, and several others if you would take the time to trace this history. It is doubtful any of them could live up to the deification they has since amassed, if any of them actually existed at all beyond the legend. Get away from the mainstream and you would learn this for yourself. However, I doubt that will happen, because it is easier to accept the lie, than to seek the truth.

No I am not anti-christian, I am anti-ignorance, anti-intolerance, anti-organized religion, and anti-anything that keeps the wheels of repression, oppression and ignorance turning. I am a very spiritual person, and believe that my life is my choice, and because of that I am doing Gods will because I am man, and man made God. How can I do anything less, for I believe in man and see no need for anyone to interpret that for me.

Answer 5

Not all atheists are anti-christian, just as all christians are not anti-muslim, but the answer is very simple..., the ones who are most outspoken against atheists (in america, anyway) about how evil they are, how they are destroying the country, how they're spending an eternity in hell, who keep trying to convert them, who force them to pledge every day to a god they don't believe exists, happen to be christians. Not all christians, mind you, but the ones making the most noise happen to be christians.

I mean, really, when they hear stuff like this..

"No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God."- George H.W. Bush, 1988

Replace atheist with any religion or race in the world, and this is a horrible, horrible statement..., then again, this is a horrible statement the way it is, isn't it?

Answer 6

Apparently you don't listen very well. I despise all religions equally. Christians get the most flack because 1) they are the dominant religion in America 2) they are the biggest cry babies when you point out how ridiculous their religion is 3) they like to act like 'those other religions deserve to be mocked' but not christianity, that's sacrilegious.
Of course this isn't all christians.
Some are nice people, like most Liberal Quakers. Nice people who practice what they preach and believe in social justice. Why don't you follow their example and you'll have less reasons to cry about how oppressed you are?

"The big questions in life are tough; Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we going? But as long as there's big douchey liars like you around, we're never going to find the answers to those questions. You're not just lying, you're slowing down the progress of all mankind, You Douche!" - Stan Marsh, South Park

Answer 7

In the months I've been on this forum I've read (and written) many answers that are generally critical of the irrational constructs of religion, not just Christianity. It would seem to me another answer is correct in saying you may take this a bit too personally. You also have to consider that a huge percentage of the "pro-religious" questions are in fact Christian, with a peppering of Muslim and only the occasional "other" (Jewish, Wiccan, Jim Darwin, etc.)

Answer 8

It is largely because we live in societies which either are or were Christian. If we were living in a Muslim society most of our criticisms would focus on Muslim teaching. However only very ignorant atheists deny the existence of Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha or any of the other prophets. They probably all lived, we just don't believe that the were divinely inspired.

Answer 9

A large number of Christians feel the need to "save" everybody and with Christianity being the majority there's a lot of unwanted proselytizing going. Most other religions don't force themselves upon you and/or say you're going to hell because your not a christian. I dread hearing the words " I'd like to talk to you about Jesus".

Answer 10

You're mistaken. We are quite happy to rubbish all religions. If we don't mention Buddhism (for example) by name, it's only because we don't generally see people on here announcing that Buddhism is The One True Religion.
