Atheists&Company, do you like the example or representation that some people are giving here to your beliefs?

Question

I am talking about all of them in general. Do you think they give a good example of what an atheist, agnostic, etc truly is?

Answer 1

Not always, Many people give rude/unintelligent arguments, or simply attempt to piss off Christians with saying mean things like "Jesus raped me last night" and stupid things like that. However, this is a minority, and when I come across them,. I tend to respond with something along the lines of "Please stop representing Atheists in this fashion and making us all look like idiots." The majority of my brothers and sisters on this site seem to be very well versed in what our beleifs are, and it also seems that we all tend to think alike or have similar beliefs/ideas, while many Christians will provide several differing ways of looking at scripture, etc.

Which makes me wonder.....why are there so many answers in Christianity? Why so many denominations? You dont see that in Atheism.....

How DO YOU feel about your fellow Christians and their representation of YOU?

Answer 2

I think there are many good representations of Agnostics and Atheists. And then there are the ones that aren't so good--that arrived to their beliefs because they felt they were wronged by religion somehow. Most Atheists and Agnostics I've seen here are pretty intelligent--and are probably more versed on the Bible than most Christians here. That's logical since most of us arrived to our beliefs by first being religious.

Answer 3

Personally, I do not. I believe everyone has a right to believe (or not believe) as they see fit. I think atheists that sue to remove religious symbols are totally wrong. If I don't like or believe something in the public view, I can easily ignore it without removing it. I think atheists and religious believers alike would all be a lot better off if they chose to abide by their own beliefs and not try to push their beliefs and opinions on others.

Answer 4

What I don't like most about your question, is the way you've managed to group Atheists into a group themselves, as if they're some kind of religion aswell.

An Atheist isnt stereotypically anything, no single atheist represents another like those from the same religions do. We are not "truly" anything, so if you're judging me based on what some other Atheist is doing, you just dont understand it at all.

Answer 5

Im a Christian and no I dont like the example of representation to being a christian is given on here. So many claim to be christian and blatently act like idiots and are mean and cruel. Same goes for all that you asked about.

Answer 6

I've seen some very good answers from Skeptics and Realists.Look at Slickyboys question,or maybe whine,
that "why do atheists attack christians".VERY good rebuttles there.

I myself am great at "atheist reasoning" sometimes.
Also consider:

1-God is perfect but
2-God creates a Lucifer that defies him
3-God lets Lucifier enable man to defy god
4-Man is now so corrupt he must be sent out of the garden
5-All men now condemned to Hell
6-THEN,rather than just stop making men condemed to Hell,
God continues to make man as is,sin and all,and MUST send
a savior to convince man away from Hell.

Why doesnt god just make man without original sin IF he has the power to do it? See what I mean?

And some christians with long paragraphs come off as so scatterbrains the baselessness of their theories and attacks explain themseleves.

Answer 7

Grouping all Atheists together is like grouping all people with blue eyes together. That is the only similarity in most cases

Answer 8

1) My "beliefs" are only mine and I don't expect/wish everyone to "believe" the same as I do.

I don't belong to any kind of movement & label and I definitely don't wish to.

So, I don't feel influenced by others' beliefs/non-beliefs. Everyone expresses whatever one wishes.

2) Noone holds the "truth". Everyone expresses whatever they want. I only see animated pixels on a monitor, that's all.

A few dozens of people interacting with others, even though they feel like to spread their message to the whole world.

Answer 9

It is an equal representation of the one's here that claim Christianity but obviously have no concept of the word......

Answer 10

I don't generalize about groups of people like you do. You are a poor representative for Christianity. I know good decent Christians and they don't play games like you do little girl.
