COULD IT BE, that you are Inadequate and not willing to FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF = ABOUT GOD?
COULD IT BE, that you have been Turned OFF, by someone who Only Claimed TO KNOW GOD?
COULD IT BE, that you don't know what is in store, WHEN YOU DIE?
(Ezekiel 18:32) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves [repent], and live.
(Eze 33:11) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Thanks, RR

It seems that the majority of anti-Christian hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers
Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

Actually I am not in the habit of mocking anyone. I don't worship your god (or any god) because that is not my faith and I would be a hypocrite if I did. I expect that when I die that will be the end of my existence - and that's all. Consequently I try to live my life in a way that will make my life a joy in the memory of those whom I have known and loved in my life. Anything else would disingenuous, and pretending I knew something which I do not.I feel that I simply answer the questions as truthfully as I am able. If my honesty mocks you or offends you, then perhaps you do not know what truth really is...

People have different opinions and ways of coping with their existence. You are doing the exact same thing right now by mocking those who have different opinions than you do. The main reason for religion is for those who need some sort of answer as to why they are here. Those people need guidance in their lives and religion helps them. Some people feel that life was meant to live, not to spend worrying about "god's" rules. Did you ever consider the fact as well that some people scorn religion because of the persecution it causes?
I don't believe in Jesus- but I believe in some sort of god. Does that mean I'm going to hell?
Or could you just for a moment consider that you might not be correct in your views? or that no religious view is entirely correct? They are guidelines on how to live your life. Not a reason to persecute others for not believing the same things as you do.
There is no way god would allow a world where only one group of people is allowed into heaven. There are people all over the world who never had or will have the chance to hear about the story of Christianity- are you telling us that because they don't
intrinsically know about god and Jesus that they are going to hell?
You are so ignorant it's sad.

Its not that we mock you. i hit upon that maximum atheists answer actual, and christians take extensive offence. Its not basically that however, we mock you in case you offend us besides. Its a conflict on right here, its like a conflict, who can get the main thumbs up or down. i don't have confidence in god, and that i won't lie, i think of the perception itself (to an volume) is ridiculous, yet I dont mock human beings. There are people who do of course, yet on right here i think of its because of the fact its greater or much less a conflict between atheism and theism, and a few human beings insult as a ability of arguing. not all atheists are like that, purely how not all christians are closed-minded and mocking human beings besides.

WHY do you post Negative Remarks about those who have beliefs different from your own?
COULD IT BE that you are inadequate and are not willing to accept those of other beliefs who come across as superior to you?
COULD IT BE that you have been Turned On by someone who does not believe the same way you do - and you didn't know how to handle it?
COULD IT BE that you are afraid that when you die, you may be a long distance from the store?
COULD IT BE that you would rather quote the ramblings of a man who lived some 2600 years ago, than to try to understand your fellow man of the 21st century.

I don't mock god.......but you ask why I don't find out about god for myself.. exactly how do I do that?? Don't tell me to read the Bible..because that's not enough evidence that a god exists.
You are to be commended for your convictions and beliefs in your God..I'm not sure I could do what you do with all the terrible things that happen on this earth.
You quote Ezekiel: 33:11 ... your calling "me" evil and wicked, so who's mocking whom??

No, it is because every religious text claims to be written by divine intervention.
More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause in the history of the earth.
To say that a loving and perfect god exists makes as much sense as believing in Santa Claus.

Because we can. Religious folks often mock us (that don't believe in god) or make us out to be the devil.
Christians calling themselves Christians but then acting hateful towards other, acting like anything BUT a Christian. Actually I think religion can be blamed for a lot of the hate in this world.
There is also a lot of crazy religious people out there (such as yourself) that make us want to have nothing to do with religion.
Why don't you go preach to someone that cares!

It's people's nature to lash out when when their conscience is pricked. Just let the mockery roll off your back. Jesus was tough, and so are we. I think SOME of the comments are actually because they are begging for someone to say something that may give the reason to consider believing. Of course, they will never admit that, ever, but I think God is actually working on a few atheists. And you can't really tell which ones they are by their comments because sometimes the ruder the comments, the more they really want answers. We just can't tell, and we don't know who will be reading our comments. So we need to always remember who we are representing. I do understand where you're coming from.

You are not going to get answers after making that condescending statement.You just want to stir up crap don`t you ?
This religious rambling should be overlooked by anyone with a sense of fair play.
