it is not allowed for the atheist to insult other believes what if a believer insults his own religion?

Question

would the people from his religion treated(people reaction) him as they treated the atheist in that situation?

who is salman rushdi?

Answer 1

It is a capital offense in Islam, does the name Salman Rushdie ring a bell?

Edit:

He is a Booker Prize winning author who wrote a work of fiction called 'The Satanic Verses' published in the '80s. Ayatollah Khomeni issued a fatwa calling for his death and he went into hiding with police protection for a decade, at least two of his publishers in the muslim world were murdered.

Answer 2

They should question whether they really have faith if they're insulting their own religion. Since most (and almost every Western) religion has a tenet along the lines of "do not blaspheme" or "do not use the Lord's name in vain" etc. etc, insulting one's own religion is sinful - and is thus a sign of digression of true faith and conduct.

Besides which, it's perfectly fine for atheists to question the beliefs of others rationally - hopefully this will end mysticism and blind belief (some like to call it 'faith'). Mindless insults never got anyone anywhere, and whilst it is a virtue to question things, it is not virtuous to insult people's beliefs. For example, if someone believed that murdering was OK, I wouldn't insult them - I'd question their belief and hopefully influence them to rethink their attitude.

Answer 3

Atheism is not a religion, and atheists are allowed to do whatever they like. Whether they insult other beliefs is a matter of choice.

Answer 4

I'm a Christian that's been given a harder time by Christians that have differing views of abortion, feminism and evolution than I have by atheists or agnostics. On the other hand, as a Christian, I've been called a lot of things by atheists I don't agree with, "stupid" among them. People in general get very abusive at times when you don't agree with them.

Answer 5

(1Th 5:21) Prove all things, hold fast to the good.

There are FALSE CHRISTIANS, as well as Many False Religions = Caliming to Be TRUTH!

IF one states Something wrong, IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO = Quote the WORD OF GOD, as the Only Point of Reference for the Real Christian!

(2Corinthians 11:13-14-15) For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

(2Co 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?

(2Co 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

Answer 6

have you ever heard of denominations?

Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc most were formed when a group of believers in the Bible saw things differently.

as far as insulting my belief, God told us to expect that

John 15:18
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

and we know why we are insulted by non believers

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

so a Christian who rages at those who insult him is in error (dont get me wrong I also have been guilty of this) because Christ says

Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Answer 7

I think this is going to be the best solution for you.... Donot insult anyone for any reason. Debates are ok... but be wise about what you are going to say & how you say it.
Always a good rule to follow if you have nothing nice to say, dont say it at all....
Good luck...
