Christians: Serious question--why do some of you insist on saying that Atheists are just angry with God?

Question

Or that we just want to be "sinful"? Or that we're just being rebellious? Have you ever considered how that sounds?

No, without a doubt, I know it's NOT true.

Answer 1

These are responses that have been fed to them from their religious fellows. Like many other things, they do not question these statements.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say that atheists are angry with God, but many of them have claimed that the Christian church "fell from grace" with them, that they came from a Christian background and made the choice to reject Christianity from their experience with the Church. This does not imply anger at God, but rather a dissatisfaction with the institution of Christianity and subsequently with the institution of religious practice in general. In short, it is a reaction against something, rather than a positive philosophical outlook when looked at in this light and progression. The very word "a-theist" would suggest its negative position, that of maintaining an opposition to the idea of a Deity or Deities.

In reality, there is a fatal flaw in atheism, and it is one of logic. It is impossible to prove a negative. One cannot prove that God doesn't exist or even that the Olympian Gods or Norse Gods or the Kami of the Shinto religion do not exist. You can believe that they don't, but that ends up being just another "belief system." Most atheists claim a logical and rationalistic basis for being atheist; it is very difficult to satisfy logic completely when it has this flaw. If one adheres doggedly to rational philosophy, one cannot be fully atheist but must admit that there is perhaps a small chance that one or more of these deities exist. This is why I say that Atheism is a belief system and thus has commonalities with other religions.

Answer 3

I cant answer that. I just think that an atheist has not been drawn to God for some reason of Gods own doing. Many Christians have not yet conquered sin themselves, and must renew their minds daily, as the Holy Spirit points out what needs to be changed within them, you will see very few overnight changes in Christians. I have seen very few.
Christians are still rebellious in areas they cannot see without reading the word of God, many mainstream christian churches have and PREACH wrong doctrine.
It sounds like they know they have sins to conquer or they think they are to good for others. God will knock them off their high horse, believe me, He will point out their own logs in their own eyes. Sins are not that easy to conquer, and some just get to thinking they are better when they begin to understand scripture and the high secrets it shows them. When they get revelations, they think , wow, I must be great for God to show me that, well, he will take care of that, and just know, that Christians fail also, just like you and I , and all of humanity.
Some just get angry and spout out at you, because they know and understand parts of the Bible, and cant see how nobody else can see the truth. It is the mature Christians that need to rebuke and correct those others.

Answer 4

Really, could have fooled me. What with questions like, "Wouldn't we be better w/out religion" "Why do Xians believe in their Skydaddy/Sky wizard/an imaginary friend?" "Why are Xians so blind with their religion to see the Truth of Atheism?" every single day, it's hard to tell that you're not angry or rebellious.

Or when I'm told that being religious makes me stupid and I was better off suicidal then Christian. Oh, I feel the love there. So, pardon me if I judge by what I was shown, just like you do. Go ahead, prove me wrong. I actually welcome that. But for now, I see more hate from atheists then "scientifically minded individuals" that they claim to be.

Answer 5

Here is a sad and simple truth....

Atheists mock christians... that's it. They mock them. The end.

Christians mock atheists and anyone else who disagrees but they spice it up with with things like maiming, burning, torturing, raping, stoning and doing whatever they can to annihilate non-chrstians. Take a look at their history! They say we are the sinners but when did we start an Inquisition or a Crusade? When did atheists burn witches or spew hatred at homosexuals?

Answer 6

Ignorance, plus it lets them claim that things we say are out of anger so they don't have to look up the horrible things that happened to drive me from the religion entirely. They just go on with their head lodged up the preacher's *** and praise their 'wonderful' god.

To be fair, I'm angry at Christians far more than any god there may be. At least that god isn't condescending when I've proved it wrong repeatedly.

Answer 7

God has sounded His call to the whole creation. The time is now.
Just as it was in the days of Noah people were busy doing their own thing going their own ways ignoring Noah's preaching and God's' calling. That is the way it is now. There is no time to wait.Now is the day of Salvation. Christians are only obeying God's commandments by telling you to prepare for the Great and dreadful day of the Lord which is coming upon the Whole face of the earth. Christians are only showing God's love for you and their love for God by telling you the invitation to God's plan for your
life. Plans for Good and not for evil if you will hear!!
Moses came down from the mountain with God's plan in His day and shared it with the people. Those who rebelled God destroyed.
King David in His day did valiantly and destroyed the enemies of the Lord and made plans for Building God a House which His son finished. Jesus came with all truth and because the nation of Israel rejected Him God rejected them and turned to we Gentiles.
Now if you want to go to Heaven with us you had better start making changes in your thinking and turn full heartedly to Christ before it is to late for you. God will destroy you whether you like it or not. He has only prepared two places one for sinners and one for saints. And you know what I am talking about. Heaven or Hell.
God is immutable or unchangeable. What He has said that is what He will do. God cannot lie. God will not repent.

Answer 8

Sometimes you can sense anger underneath the irony. It comes out in the hatred directed towards Christians. Obviously, some atheists are just followers of intellectuals devoid of spiritual decernment and have no emotion whatsoever in their controlled unbelief. [Vulcan logicians???]

But all are ignorant of the nature of man, although they profess to be wise, they miss the spiritual point of life.

Answer 9

Well we think you have some anger towards God because of how often many of you mock God. Why mock something you don't even believe? I don't mock Islam or Zeus simply because I don't believe them. No point in attacking a God that I don't even think exists. And I don't want to waste my life attacking the followers of false gods. If they want to live in a state of wishful thinking, so be it; I am not going to try to force them away from their beliefs. I let everyone dig their own grave, and I neither mock them or push them in their grave. I just let them do what they want to do. Why can't you be the same?

Answer 10

christians are childish, they believe what they want to believe, even if its a lie. As for being angry, it is the Pagans that should be angry, because christians killed them then claimed the Pagan holidays as christian ones, and had the nerve to bad mouth Pagans as devil worshippers and satanists, because they loved nature more than the christian bloodthisty god.

Answer 11

Some people, unfortunately, can only convince themselves of something when they use a straw man argument.

It's cute and sad at the same time. Thank goodness I have an odd sense of humor anyway, it makes me laugh.
