Why do Christians throw everything they dont understand into the God box?

Question

Me being an Atheist, I throw what I dont understand into the thinking box.

Answer 1

You are highly simple-minded and need to be more complex than your moronic question demonstrates.

Closed minds always lead to ignorance.

By the way, Atheists tend to be the most closed-minded people I have ever met.

Answer 2

I'm an atheist myself, and I must say I don't think that statement is true. Most Christians I know ask questions about the real world, and aren't afraid to look at things through their own eyes.

That said, it is true that Christians tend to view the world through the lens of their faith. That's their right to do so, and I wouldn't try to take that from them.

The truth is that I don't know everything, so I have no right trying to persuade anyone to any point of view. All I'd ask in return is that anyone who thinks about trying to persuade me understand that they don't know everything either, no matter what their faith tells them.

It is true that some Christians will "throw things into the God box," as you put it, but you can't generalize that point. Many devout Christians live their lives on practical terms, but in a way that meshes completely with their faith.

All religions have their radicals (secularists are no different). But you can't generally say that all Christians refuse to acknowledege things like science or logic any more than you can say all Muslims are terrorists. Just because a few radicals might be like that doesn't make the generalized stereotypes true.

Answer 3

I'm more concerned that Christians put God in a box rather than the other things they cannot understand.

Personally, I think things through when it has applicable significance to the lives of those around me or my life. I put thought into the things I'm curious about, but I don't HAVE TO know everything. I decide to let God be God since my time on earth is limited and precious. I enjoy thinking, reasoning and debating immensely. But acting upon what I believe is a much more important venture that trying to convince others what I believe from a purely intellectual standpoint.

Jesus said, "If you don't believe my words, believe me for the works sake," and, "by this shall all men know that you are my disciples, that you have love for the brethren."

Answer 4

The GOD box is an easy out.

Of course many of you Athiests like the DARWIN BOX

or the BIG BANG BOX

Don't jah!

Christians are actually supposed to use the thinking box too, but they are supposed to apply the rules of God and Jesus.

Love

Tolerance

Peace

Understanding

Not being jealous

Not aduterating things

Do YOU have problems with those things?!

Answer 5

a million. The Bible says God created the earth and all beings. 2. My purpose, subsequently, is to glorify God. 3. life is a ultimate present from God, and we ought to apply it properly. 4. i decide directly to glorify God in all circumstances. 5. God is physically powerful. 6. God does no longer make undesirable issues happen. 7. God is on top of problems with the destiny, subsequently I even have peace. 8. dying does no longer frighten me; after dying i would be God's presence. 9. God is on top of problems with the previous, besides because of the fact the present and destiny. 10. My God isn't in a field. ok, I basically responded all your questions. Now, how approximately you answer the questions in accordance to what you have faith. Do you have solutions? in case you haven't any longer have been given solutions to those questions (and a few of them are needed) than i've got faith very unhappy for you. you will desire to not at all have peace approximately something.

Answer 6

We ran out of room for boxes.

why do Some Atheists throw everything about religion in the Fear Box?

Answer 7

All religious preachers just pump their one theory (God exists) down our throats.

When the science community makes a discovery or modifies a theory they publish a paper for all to view, speculate on, and debate. Invariably such discoveries open up our simplistic minds and expand our horizons. Examples would be the works of Einstein and Hawking, to name a very small sample.

So why do preachers have to continually pump their one theory (God exists) down our throats. Why do they stand on street corners and hand out leaflets, yell at passers by, gather huge crowds and push unsuspecting victims over in the belief they will be cured of whatever mental or physical ailment invades them, if they just believe in the theory of God.

Why can’t the believers of religious theory just behave in a decent manner, in much the same way as the scientific community does. The answer to all of these questions is simple. They know their theory of God is wrong, and saturation mental and verbal bombardment is the only way they can convince people, and they do it directly or indirectly for money.

Answer 8

I'm Christian and I don't throw anything into the God box. Maybe some do.

Answer 9

Why dont atheists stick to their ideas and let others live with their own. Isn't it interesting how atheists are always attacking those with faith all the time? Dont you have better things to do, why do you even care? Go back to worshiping ur thinking box...

Answer 10

It depends on the Christian... personally, I try to understand everything I can, and if I get stuck, I put it on the shelf to look into later. God gave us intelligence for a reason. To abuse this would be disrespectful to the gifts we have, and it's to my understanding that we're to learn all we can. If a religion can't hold up to the facts, then that particular religion is false. If one has a true belief in their God and their religion, they won't be afraid to learn about what's out there. You just have to be open-minded, and ready to experience the unexpected. True faith can't be shaken.

Answer 11

Oh.. wow! You are a legend in your own mind.
Belief is a matter of faith.
With any wisdom you would respect the beliefs of others, rather than the arrogance you express.
Your condescending attitude goes a long way toward discounting your "thinking box".
Even so... God Loves You.
