I never tire of answering their questions, and neither should anyone else. We need to be able to defend ourselves, with gentleness and compassion. Let them ask their questions, I say, it challenges all of us!

We should call some people crazy, just not be rude about it. Some people just are crazy and need a doctor/christian. Anyway, I am not tired of atheist talking to me, thats for sure. It gives me the opportunity to share the truth with them. Most of the time they wont listen to reason, but hey, Im not the one who is wrong. I feel secure with my self. That makes atheist mad sometimes, but not me. As long as you help build a solid foundation of truth by studying scripture, apologetics and a solid prayer life and be a good christian witness, they cant win. The Spirit of God will break through their hard hearts. And then they may realize that it was them all along,that was the crazy one.

I'm not saying I'm christian nor am i saying I'm atheist or anything else. BUT...People with different religious faiths have something negative to say about whatever faith is not their own.

For example if I said:

I worship Satan and he is the one and only God and all those who do not believe will be stricken to a painful eternity if they do not choose to follow him.

That sounds crazy to a person of chritian faith, BUT...that's exactly the way you may sound to an athiest or a satanic follower. You aren't saying the actual word CRAZY, but the implication is there.

I'm not tired of it, but I definitely do agree with you.

I don't like it when atheists do it -- mostly because it does their "cause" no favors when they use such alienating language.

It's illogical for them to think that they are going to swing people over to their way of thinking by calling those very same people such names.

I would never call an atheist "stupid" or "crazy" for not believing in God, even though I know for a fact that God is real. Because that's just not a nice way to talk to someone.

I will say, though, that atheists who demand proof of God's existence are intellectually weak.

If they need proof that God is real, what else in their lives do they need proof of? Do they go around making people prove things to them all the time? Do they go around not trusting people? Do they make their own family members prove that they love them?

It's an unsettling thought.

More of you uneducated christians keep ranting and raving that if you dont believe in their religion you are going to hell.

It works both ways buddy. Most oft he Atheists are just having a laugh, while the biblethumpers are trying to convert them.

If the biblethumpers on here truly understood religion as well as they say they do they wouldnt get so much of a rise out of it. It is the uneducated christians who have "found jesus" and who quote the bible like it is going out of style who are the most fun because unlike the real christians (the ones who actually understand their religion the way it is laid out) they do not have a sence of humor, they get bothered by others questions and they cannot comprehend how their mis-education could be flawed.

I am a little tired of it, but it helps keep my mind sharp. Every once in a while somebody will actually ask an intelligent question that requires an intelligent answer and I have to do some research. More often that not though, atheist (not all) are just asking a stupid question to make people mad and then just choose an answer they agree with. I'm thinking, "Did you REALLY want an answer to your question or did you just want to give 10 points to one of your atheist friends?"

IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD YOU ARE CRAZY. Read a book about evolution. According to god the earth and the human race are 6,000 years old. How is that possible when dinosaurs roamed the earth billions of years ago. Do you think we walked around with dinosaurs? Religion is nothing more than an old fashion form of government. EVOLUTION IS THE TRUTH, ALL YOU WACKY PEOPLE.

Actually SOME beliefs ARE crazy. And one of the defining characteristics of psychosis is belief in delusional things. The only thing that protects Christians from being declared crazy is that their delusional beliefs are not individual and idiosyncratic but are shared by many people. But that hardly makes these beliefs real.

The Bible says there's one Heaven and one Hell; but it suggest that there are levels of Heaven and Hell. I guess depending on How holy or how sinful you are in this life will determine what level of Heaven or He'll you get put into.

2 Corinthians 12:2-I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know--God knows.

The belivers think the athiests and agnostics are crazy for not believing just as they think the believers are crazy for believing.
But your right they are not literally crazy. Name calling isnt necessary They have every right to believe what they want.

Just skip their questions and ignore them, they're just trying to get some attention. They do tick me off, but you gotta consider the source, they're afraid, empty and without hope.
