Why do atheist get so rude and angry........?

Question

Why do atheist get so rude and angry when you question there dis-beliefs? Is it because that all of them have no real basis to there dis-belief? Is it because they know that they are a minority through out the world and just feel inadequate?

Answer 1

we as christians have been saved thru Jesus Christ we should or we do go to him for all things good or bad. i go to Jesus when im angry when i sad, happy etc so when someone upsets me or makes me mad i know what the christian or right thing to do is and im talkin to God about in my head and he gives me that sense of calmness. weather you are trying to witness to and atheist or just talk to them God is always guiding you with the words to say but when an atheist is talking to you about what ehy believe who is guiding them? in my opinion satan, satan has gained control over this persons mind and he LOVES it he laughs everytime you try down christians and God bc he knows that they are wrong. satan believes in God as well. so i think that they are so confused weather they may know it or not that they are so defense about everything.
i would not turn away from being someones friend at all bc i could be a witness to them and not even talk about Gd at all. marriage may be a different thing tho. husbands and wives are supposed to join together in all ways..prayer being one. if you marry and atheist when the preacher is reading all these scriptures from the bible when is he or she going to think being God did give us the privilege of marriage in the first place.
anyways im sure i could go on and on but thats just some of what i think

Answer 2

It's interesting to me that you are phrasing your statement as an absolute. You didn't say "Why do SOME atheists ..." and you did say "Is it because ALL of them ...". You really believe that 100% of all atheists get rude and angry when we are challenged?

Are you basing your experience with answers from atheists by the answers they give to your questions? Because I find that I generally answer questions with about the same tone and respect that I am accorded by the questioner. You seem to be going out of you way to provoke a rude response. I've answered a lot of questions here directed at atheists. Quite a few of those questions were worded reasonably. Those questions generally get a half dozen or so respectful and intelligent answers. True, there are some bitter atheists who are rude even to those questions, but I've seen bitter theists who respond rudely to reasonable questions from atheists too.

I suspect there are members of both sides who feel persecuted by the other side. But by your own admission, it is the atheists who are the minority.

Answer 3

They have a right to be rude and angry if we press our case for why they should go with our lord Jesus and worship God.

They have no proof as far as they are concerned. They see death and murder daily in the news. They read about insane atrocities from history books. They all know about the holocaust and that certainly made them wonder where was this God that the Christians seem to revere so much while this was all happening.

I don't blame the atheists for being rude...I would be if I were an atheist. Matter of fact I was one at one point in my life. But I saw and experienced something that changed my whole world view. I'm not going to say what it was, but it made me without a doubt commit my life to Jesus.

Back off the atheist and let them make their own choices. When God wants them they will be ready, and they will receive.

I just shave my hair off so I'm in a really bad mood right now.

Answer 4

Why do (some) Christians (on Yahoo! answers) get angry when we question their beliefs? Don't they have a solid basis for their beliefs?

Seriously, you are only talking about a small minority of atheists, like the statement above is talking about a small minority of christians. be more open-minded.

Answer 5

I have know a couple of atheist and they never got angry at all. For them it was a very simple argument/ decision, one that did not merit anger or frustration. I guess this question is just like everything else: it depends on the personalities of the people in question. There are some people that become all flustered about nothing, and people that are calm and collective while bullets are flying all around them.

Answer 6

Grundoon <----------- YES EXACTLY!!!! I AGREE. I could not have put it in better words. I was going to type what you just said I have typed it before when it comes to questions like this.

But I was to tired to so instead I will back yours up.


I am an agnostic atheist. I may admit in a higher power but not in the way we see it. I do not believe in an afterlife but I do not care because when I die I will find out or not if I am correct.

Daniel <--- Nothing is meaningless being what I am and with my beliefs I try to act as good as I can and obey the law. Love is something that matters no matter what your beliefs our I think you need to rethink your non-religious beliefs.

Answer 7

The US Constitution and the government it created are 100 percent secular:

“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion”

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/barbary/bar1796t.htm

If Christians would quit trying to rewrite the Constitution and turn the US into a Theocratic state (a Christian Saudi Arabia) no one would be rude to them. However, when you try to force your morality, beliefs, and lifestyle on everyone else you bring the problem on yourself. And, it does not help when people like Falwell and Robertson say that the Christian God is responsible for 9/11 and that he did it to punish us.

Answer 8

It is because most atheists don't have a real basis for their disbelief. Their being atheist is a reaction against different communities at war with each other. Many atheists get attracted to Science - but soon they find out that Science too is like any other religion/community, with its own set of dogmas and unanswered questions.

By branding themselves as 'atheists' they are becoming yet another community - which is at war with every other community. It is their desperation which gets them to be so rude and angry.

Now the question is - what/how to think, if you don't believe in neither the prescription of Science, nor that of any Religion? A basis is needed - otherwise man is like a stray animal. That basis can be existence itself, and the human needs to be at its center (as against some mysterious God or ideology, or an instrument - meant for giving some bodily comforts). When man studies existence this way - the logic and reason can be unified.

This unification of logic and reason is the need of all humanity - irrespective of their present associations. The people who live with logic and reason united - will realize co-existence with all others, and will not be rude and angry. They will not be blind followers of a faith. They will live with reality, and will display self-confidence.

Answer 9

Just as you would likely not want to be thrown in with radical Christians, perhaps you should lump together all Atheists. Some here are rude, yes... but there are Atheists here that are not. Perhaps you could word your questions more directly to just those that are offensive without the group label.

Answer 10

Alot of us really dislike Christians. You are usually way to judge mental when you say you are not, confused though you swear you are not, bigoted, and extremely arrogant, and the Christians swears they are never like that.
I would hate speaking to a christian in person concerning religious matters. They are just way to condescending, and play way too many word games.
I know this doesnt justify the rudeness, but its probably how you have been perceived. And seeing by your comment "Is it because they know that they are a minority through out the world and just feel inadequate" you are trying to be deliberately provocative.
so my points is proven huh

Answer 11

An atheist is just a theist without the 'a' in front. The belief 'There is no reality beyond matter' is just as arbitrary as the belief 'God exists'.
The problem with atheists is that they like to believe that they are the only reasonable people around because of this belief. They don't like to be reminded some of their beliefs may not be **Gasp!!** rationally justifiable.
I'm an agnostic myself, which means I'm willing to admit there are things I simply don't know.
See what I mean? I already got two thumbs down for my rather mild answer.
