for that Q asking if you know your time is coming to an end. As a Christian I'm asking that you accept my apology for that persons ridiculous Q & ask that you not think that most of us are like that? I will always respect everyones right to believe or not & in return if I don't preach to you, I'm sure you won't belittle me for having my own beliefs. Right?

Please understand that I'm not the one who asked the idiotic Q. I'm just apologizing on his/her behalf because I don't like being hated because of people like that

it's cool Christian dude...
I've asked ignorant questions about Christianity and I learned that we all just have to accept one another's beliefs

some individuals will accept your apology and respect your honesty and might not have belittled you in the first place.
some individuals will belittle you no matter how honest and nice you are.
and it matters little whether that person is religious or Atheist. it's a matter of character ... not belief or a lack thereof.
PS. hmmm well gee ... you really can't apologize and make amends for idiocy of someone else. nice of you but responsibility can't be deflected. it's sad that your rude Fundy brethren are making being a decent person (however Christian)
difficult for you.

It's a nice gesture but I don't think too many non-christians care about what christians say. It's like if I asked you whether it bothered you that you are wasting your life worshiping a god that doesn't exist. You believe there IS a god so you wouldn't care. I don't believe there's a god that's going to destroy the world so I don't care about that other question.
I do have to point out though that saying you " respect everyone's right to believe or not " isn't the same as saying you respect everyone's right to believe what they believe.

I am in total agreement! We can't all believe the same thing. America was built as a Christian nation, and those of us who don't choose to be Christian, have to fight an uphill battle to disentangle ourselves. For me, religion make no sense, but for the believers, it may just be easier to give in an accept what they have been taught all of their lives, and that's Ok, too.

You should know it doesn't really bother us deep down. How would you feel if I told you that you were going to be trampled by unicorns? I can only equate it with that. Any reaction you would give that could be mistaken as anger about this statement would come after you had heard this a thousand times and when the person telling you this told you with glee in their eyes, otherwise it is not really all that disturbing.

i take advantage of mockery in a humorous way, not in a honestly derisive one, and that i like it that way, yet I settle for that human beings of distinctive traditions are going to disagree often times. The trick is to disagree without being unsightly. i discover it is trouble-free to do once you look into this communicate board as an substitute of recommendations fairly than a contest. i will enable you comprehend what i think of, and additionally you tell me what you think of. That works far greater beneficial than belittling one yet another. regrettably, there are some people who might desire to make each communicate a contest. somebody has to "succeed," regardless of if it skill degrading their "fighters." unhappy. Very unhappy. And greater beneficial than slightly petty, too. yet back on your suggestion. It would not be appropriate for me to declare that i'll desire for god-believers to grow to be atheists for 2 reasons: i don't pray, and that i elect each man or woman to be happy to maintain on together with his very own experience of right and incorrect, not mine.

I appreciate the gesture. I am agnostic, so I accept your apology and glad you have realized that christianity isn't right for everyone. It says mountains about you. Some atheists will refuse their apology and say rude things, but you must ignore them, my child.

nice to hear---but dang, things sure are getting mean and spiritless again on Saturday night. And I know it is not John Travolta and the Scientologists.

that's very nice of you, but I must say I suspect that best case scenario is that SOME of you are not like that. personal experience and the postings here would suggest that more than half of you ARE like that.
I won't hold them against you, though.
