Why do you appreciate Non-Believers that much?

Question

What do you learn about yourself thanks to them?

Answer 1

I appreciate anyone who does not shove their religious beliefs down my throat. It is a boring topic, everyone has an opinion about a subject they think they know something about and I find them dangerous because they are people of "absolutes." Nothing is absolute except death and taxes.

What I learned from them how intolerant I am of them. That is pretty bad because I'm and easy person to get along with. It is a bloody subject. Very bloodly.

I know of one athiest. He was a scientist and the kindest and most interesting person in the world.

Answer 2

I appreciate them because I truly believe that there is an underline wickedness in the religions today. People are very gullible and it seems that all kinds of people take advantage of that, they take advantage of their fears and their hopes; it's like con-men upon con-men. We need something new, that actually teaches common sense and critical thinking. Someday I guess; today is just not the day. I feel so sorry for those who are afraid to use what they were given. The act of faith is when you abandon the very thing that makes us human, and that is rational thought. Fear and love; both of these things promote irrational thought, irrational thought is what robs you of what it means to be human, the ability to make decisions on your own with out an out side source. You are the moral animal, the thing that makes the rules. You don't need anything else to tell you these things, its not God or some book, it's you. Make your own decisions. If you bring judgment on others because of what you believe to be true from an adopted belief which is not your own, then this is not a good thing; its harmful, degrading and breeds contempt; this is what religion is, this is not a true thing, it is not yours. If God exist, then he exist inside of you. Not in some book from the inspired words of someone else, its you. This book called the Bible is obsolete, it never changes even thought the world and the universe does. If God made the universe and it is always changing, why then would he accept a book that does not. It is not a rational way of thinking, it is not the way the universe works, and if you believe that God exist, then in retrospect; God would not create a book that did not change with the universe. The universe it self would be the true bible of God.

Answer 3

I shouldn't generalise, but usually unbelievers tend to have more heterogeneous, diverse and personal viewpoints on aspects of life concerning or somehow affecting religious interests. On the other hand, believers tend to have more similar, serially made thoughts. In those cases, it's more interesting listening to an unbeliever.

Answer 4

I can't say that I "appreciate" non-believers for anything. A lot of the non-believers on this site are just plain rude. The try to tell me that my beliefs are lies, myths, or fairy tells. They insult me and my God. I know somewhere out there exist some humans who do not believe in Christ and are perfectly able to allow the believers to worship the Lord. I might appreciate them for their acceptance of others regardless of their beliefs.

Answer 5

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Answer 6

common sense, i would say
