To Giggly Girrafe (sp?) Yeah sure I forgive them but, I'm afraid they do know what they are doing.

Some don't realize that they are insulting you. They are so full of their belief that heaven is waiting for them, that they are blind to the fact that they are digging their own tunnel to hell.
Some perfectly realize that they are insulting you and are reveling in the fact that you are feeling "oh so small". It's the only way they can feel superior since "heaven is waiting for them".
If there is heaven, neither of them will be welcome.
By the way, I'm not welcome either but that's ok. I can't imagine anything more boring than sitting on a cloud playing a harp.....for all eternity.

I can handle insults ... "Forgive them not, for they know not what they do". Ironically, it's these insults that enlighted me to realize how valuable my religion is. If it were not for the joksters bagging on my religion, well, I'd still be clueless with out someone making fun. Persecution is BIG in Christianity. This doesn't mean that we're ALL whimpy ppl (some are & this is GOOD) who'll ignore God and not fight ... but we're taught Peace first.
Basically, we're all one in the Body of Christ. As such, some will be defenders, while others peace makers ... just like your hand ... the thumb isn't equal to the index fingar ... but they function together to do our will ... same as we are in the Body of Christ. We're all made with a specific function in the Body of Christ.

Some realize and some dont.
Its easier to call a meat rotten when you cant have it ^^
similarly, I guess humans just lack a lot of understanding and are too lazy to try to be friends with people whose culture and religion they dont understand.
Personally, Im not into peoples hearts or heads, its their actions I judge them with most of the time, good actions lead to good judgement.
Also, peeps generalize in order to create safer, shorter routes for themselves. They dont really sympathize with the rest of the world, and so they speak without much thought.
Kinda like animals...hmm

Whose insulting anyone? I just call 'em like I see 'em. And I see religion as the primary cause of hurt in the world. If I'm wrong, then I'll answer to God. But I don't believe there is any god. If that's an insult, then maybe you need some more education.

I do but I would have to say so many others don't cause they insult me daily because I am a Atheist. I over look most of them cause they have mental issues and can't help their self. I try not to insult any ones religion. I just simply defend my right to believe in what I want and not have others push their religious beliefs on me.

I think they do realize it and don't care. There is no accountability here. It's reather dad but we can insult, be rude, say outrageous things - all without looking someone in the eye and having to answer for our rudness - or see the hurt we are causing---it allows people to be true a**es....at times myself included.

Yes, Godless demons do realize this that's why they are in this section to shake ur faith that's why believers should be strong and have a firm foundation in their beliefs when they are being tested by Satan's imps. BE STRONG IN THE LORD!

Maybe by believing in a religion or god without proof (only faith), you're insulting OUR way of life - logical and evidence-based. Did you ever think you even talking about religion as if it could be real was insulting US?

Yes, but in Matthew 5 it says
Blessed are ye, when people revile you and say all manner of evil things against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, - they persecuted the prophets which were before you.
