Why do God Believers hold Atheists to higher standards than God believers?

Question

1. In a debate, Atheists have to have all the answers or else they would claim we're wrong

2. In a debate, God believers dont have to say anything but "I have faith" They're not expected to have any answers

3. If a God believer does something wrong, it's because nobody's perfect.

4. If an Atheists does something wrong, it's because he doens't believe in God(That's what some God believers will claim)

THANKS FOR HOLDING ATHEISTS TO HIGHER STANDARDS

Answer 1

God bless you, my atheist friend!

Charlie, you must realize that you are making me love you even more and my faith even stronger because I know that you will come to know GOD sooner than you think.

Shalom

Answer 2

1. In general atheists claimed to have the only right answer, and anything other than complete absolute agreement with them is stupidity.
2. Anytime a believer says that they don't know, atheists then claim that shows they are absolutely wrong.
3. If a believer does anything wrong in any way shape or form ever there held up to incredible amounts of ridicule and mockery, where as atheists always get a free pass, what was last time you heard Leno, Letterman, or any news anchor make fun of an atheists versus how many make fun on a routine basis of Christians.
4. Some believers may claim that, but most held that it is because you are human.
5. Hopefully you will become better and smarter people, so that your ideas and thinking improves, and hopefully someday will extend to something other than hated and killing.

Answer 3

Well,
1. If you don't have the answers or most of all possible answers - you are wrong. Because that means you don't read the Bible and That in itself is wrong. For example if I asked you - an atheist -what Romans 10:9 says - do you know? If not then you are wrong by default. If you were in a game show and they asked you that question you would accept it. Why don't you accept it when a believer tells you that?
2. Believers do have faith. We don't know ALL the anwers. God chose to reveal only what was important enough for us to know. If God chose Not to reveal it - it means it's not that important. And we walk by faith not by sight (proof)
3. This is true. Nobody is perfect except God. Even Christians aren't perfect.
4. Christians arent' perfect. Just forgiven. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior - how can you expect Him to forgive you?
5. The Bible says in Psalms 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is NO God. So who is smarter? You may think you are now.. but in the end it won't be that way.

Answer 4

In a debate honest believers and atheists will have to both admit at times that they don't have all the answers.

Believers and atheists do wrong things for the same reason. We are all fallen, self-centered, and so tend to rely on our own wisdom and understanding.

I believe in God, and personally, I hold those who profess to follow Jesus to a lot higher standard than I do atheists. For example, I have no reason to expect and atheist to live by the morals, standards, and values in the Bible. If you don't believe, then the logical thing to do is live life the way that makes the most sense to you. But if one claims to be following in the ways of Jesus and yet is or her life is characterized by things that are in direct opposition to the ways of Jesus, I take issue with that person. I would rather that those people keep their "faith" to themselves.

Answer 5

Your tone is antagonistic, but I don't mean to respond in kind...please clarify your question in the following areas:

1. I'm a Christian, and I KNOW that I don't have all the answers. Then again, I don't expect atheists to have all the answers, either. Therefore, I don't hold you to any higher standard that I hold for myself. To do so would be unfair and unreasonable.

2. My atheist friends (yes, I have many friends who disagree with me) have as much faith in their disbelief in God as I have faith in God. I see clear equity there...

3. Define "wrong"...

4. See number 3, above.

5. Again, what is your "higher standard?"

Answer 6

I don't, but I do expect anyone I have a discussion with to respect my right to have views that differ from theirs.

If anything, your statements have lowerd my standards for atheists. I just want an atheist to make a valid point without insulting someone else's views.

As for debate, I had said this earlier, but it is NOT possible to prove OR disprove the existence of God. A debate on this topic is about as useful as a debate where both sides tells each other that they are wrong about their favorite foods.

You do not like cheese!

Yes I do, it is you who do not like pasta!

I like pasta, but you hate cheese, you only pretend to like it!

LIAR! I love cheese, but you secretly dance on pasta's grave!

Nice, very reasoned, very mature. I read most of your other questions and they sounded a lot like this.

Please, for your sake (not salvation, just to make you sound smarter) work on reasons, not insults, ok? You asked one good question, then I found out the rest were a bunch of junk.

Answer 7

There is no such thing as "we are fallen" or "we are inherently sinners". Every single second of every day you CHOOSE to fall or ascend. f*ck jesus. Stop hiding behind a dead middle eastern dude to cover up when you want to be a bad human being. It's okay, some dude suffered horrendously and bled to death, I now get to be a douche. The world would be a better place if people believed they had to EARN heaven. But guess what, there is no heaven, this is heaven. We need to MAKE IT. We die, and that is all. So live in hell then die. Or MAKE IT HEAVEN. With the technology we already have no human being on earth has to want for anything. And it's not some bumbling bad tempered little brother of god's that ruins it. It's people putting blame EVERYWHERE THEY CAN EXCEPT THEMSELVES. That's the story of the bible. A whole religion of petty insecure people who couldn't own up to their own shortcomings and needed someone better then them to take the fall.

Answer 8

It doesn't matter what other people think about you. What matters is what God thinks about you. God loves each of us the same. He has the same 10 commandments for everyone.
Don't judge people by what they say as much as what they do.
Just because someone says that they believe in God doesn't mean it is true!Don't judge Christianity by Christians -- judge by Christ! Jesus didn't condemn people -- he helped them. There are people out there who like to point out others faults to make themselves feel good about themselves or to take away the attention from their sins by pointing out others mistakes.
If someone sits in a garage and calls themselves a car -- that doesn't make them a car. Just because someone says that they are a Christian and sits in church doesn't make them a Christian.
Don't blame God for idiots that tell everyone that they love God and then sit in judgement on everyone else! God loves you. Seek God's face -- ask Him to make Himself real to you -- Deep down inside everyone knows there is a God. There is something missing inside -- invite Jesus into your heart -- what have you got to lose except your eternal life? Don't depend on people -- Seek God's face! You have a choice --- Eternity is too long to be wrong.

Answer 9

each guy or woman thinks that distinctive adult males and females persons ought to truly proportion a similar morals as they do. i'm an atheist and that i think that too: i think each guy or woman will would desire to truly have a similar morals as I do, that are incredibly recognize for all times, liberty and the happiness of others. in case you probably did no longer think distinctive persons ought to have a minimum of extremely the equivalent morals as you do, which will mean you will have not got any predicament with adult males and females persons questioning this is okay to homicide. Edit: i do no longer see how perfection is in any recognize serious or adjustments the situation. the perfect is the enemy of the sturdy. every person although thinks each physique else will would desire to truly have faith them on ethical subjects. Edit 2: nicely you have an exceedingly dazzling ingredient in that sparkling-cut back strains of sturdy/risky are of direction unsuitable. Morality isn't a binary element, it fairly is a huge spectrum from in simple terms nicely suited to risky.

Answer 10

Your reasoning doesn't make much sense, but I don't hold anyone to a higher standard. I don't judge anyone because they don't believe in God, either. That's His job.

PS Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven!

Answer 11

When a bible thumper is asked a question, he can always say, "God did it."

When an atheist is asked a question, he has to admit he does not know (if he does not know).

At which time the thumper claims he won the argument since he has the answer.

See how easy that is? Why do you think so many thumpers claim they have all the answers?
