I'm not atheist I'm agonstic so I guess by the rules your lay out I can answer. Maybe people just bascilly don't like being told a "truth" about there religion or spiritual, they don't like being told that they could be wrong.

Hmmm do people really think we are upset or angry at them? I can't think of a time I've ever truly been upset or Angry with somone for not believing in God. I live in a "split" home (me and my Mother being Christian and my Father is Athies) I've seen both sides for so long. I guess my best argument with my Father who thinks when you die thats just it "poof your gone", is that I say "Dad what would it really hurt for you to believe in Jesus?, I mean so you live a christian life , your kind, you pray , you ask someone for forgiveness or strength when you do wrong or feel like you can't go on, tell me the harm and If I'm right and there IS indeed a God you go to Heaven in the end, the way you are now if I'm right you go to hell. BUT say I am wrong and in the end we all just go poof, and here you wasted your time living such an admirable life, being kind to others, loving people, not speaking bad against others etc, etc and you see believing in Jesus as bad because? So I'm not mad at them just wondering WHY they would take a chance when believing in God really isn't asking you to do wrong or hurt ANYONE, its basically the "outline " of a loving , caring human.

I am christian, if I were born muslim I would be muslim, If I were born buddist I would be buddist. My point is that I don't think it matters so much what religion you are, but that you know there is a God, and the underlying message for all these religions is the same... to love.
That is why we god-believing people get upset with atheists.
You are not god-fearing, you have nothing that you truely believe in, nothing to hold onto when there is no explaination for events in life. It is scary to us. If you do not believe there will be a God to answer to for your actions in life, then who is to stop you in life? Why not go about and do as you please, no matter the consequences and effect it may have on others or yourself. Why should you care, if you will never have a God to answer to? I am not saying atheists are bad people, but the potential is there. Also, who do you turn to when all else is lost? When there is nothing left in your life to believe in... it is so sad.
God is salvation, he is your to ticket to spiritual freedom from this physical world, he is eternal love.... he is the the love inside you.... by finding God, you find yourself. That is why we worry for atheists.... those who love God, and love themselves, also love others.... and wish others could feel the same grace they feel by having faith in god.

I don't get upset with them, I am just concerned about their souls. I know that they believe in a higher being just not God. I have always wondered what that higher being was? I don't think that they understand the fullness of our Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe we don't understand them and what they believe. I try to sympathize with them but their beliefs are just so unreal. They have an explanation for everything....just not the correct one. Let me not be judgemental of anyone...because that is not me nor is it cute, I would say to them, read and try and understand God's word. Everyone can't be lying when it comes to God...

Their motives on this site is to mock,scoff and ridicule religions but they are more bias towards Christianity than any other religion.
They are trying to demonize this forum by spewing false notions of evolution and to mock the Holy Bible. I'm not upset nor offended but I pray that judgment will come upon them now and I believe it has already on some of them.

I don't get upset at atheists: I just feel bad for them because their lack of a decision isn't good for their eternal future. They need to accept there is a God & accept & ask Jesus to forgive them their sins.
Atheists have got a lot of faith to trust in nothing.

I get upset at myself all the time. That So many people want to kill me because I do not believe in their god as they do. If you think about it, religion is a disease. It is passed from human to human and the only proof that is used is cyclical in nature. That is to prove God exists, God is used as the definition. Hardly proof to me. Right now middle eastern countries are refining uranium. These are the same people that follow the death to not islamics. I'm ashamed that more Americans aren't scared sh$tless over it! Religion will kill us all when people like these start making nuclear bombs.

I dont get upset with them... I even sometimes entertain the things they say. I think they get upset with me when I tell them they wont go to heaven cause they havent made a choice. But no, Im not mad at the atheist I love them and wish they would dedicate their lives to God so we can all have fun in heaven together! and leave SATAN to rot alone but.... many dont think that way so what Can I do?

we should not get upset, for christ alone is the one who will get his revenge, but even then christ is still reaching out to them, because he wants no man to perish. so if christ is reaching out to them with love, then we need to as well
as a christian, I have a different view on life now, and the world hates christianity because it does not understand christianity. satan has taken lies of christianity and make them appear to the the truth. it is just frustration because I have a burden for the lost.
