Christians- How do you handle persecution from stupid atheists?

Question

Get this, I went to a meeting regarding my 10 year old daughter Sarah today, and in the meeting this atheist bully, told me that I am not allowed to talk about Jesus or God at my access, or they will cancel it. I ripped right through her. I told her that she is hell bound and if I want to talk to my daughter about God I will do it. That wound me up. Christians how would you have handled that situation? I am sick ofChristians being persicuted. It is about time us Christians took a stronger stand for Jesus and not let bully's walk all over us. We need a stronger voice. I told her that she is evil. She is, she is telling me that I am not allowed to talk about Jesus so that means she is listening to her father Satan, because Satan does not want me to talk about God. Stuff Satan and all the people that want to listen to him, I am standing up for God, and so I should. Telling me that I should not talk about Jesus, wants me to talk about Jesus even more.

Christians do not take any crap from those who persicute you. Stand up for Jesus and his Father and do not let anyone stop you, unless you live in China or Russia where the persicution is great. And even in that situation still talk about Jesus. Do not let any one hold you back. And I mean it

Answer 1

Now I'm convinced!

I can no longer respond to your rantings. You just put the icing on the cake. Not that I feel good about you being mentally ill. However I am relieved that someone that writes some of the outlandish things you write that the Australian social services system disn't miss you. Here were the original clues.

1. Way too angry for a Christian. The Pious, religious Christians I am friends with are cool people and are not condecending and mad all the time. They may believe I am going to burn in hell for not being a believer, but they don't shove it in my face. You are just over the top.

2. You change your timetable regarding judgement day on a weekly basis. Even most mildly unstable folks I have encountered seem capable of some level of consistency in their rantings. You appear to be all over the map.

3. After making wild assertions and accusations, when people answer you thoughtfully and ask rebuttal questions politely, you don't seem to respond and instead appear to ignore them as if you are having a one-way dialogue.

4. You correspond and seem to find common ground with David T from the Jews for Jesus/Messianic Jews (a cultish quasi Christian group that masquerades as Jewsish). He may have a better sense of humor than you and will ask and answer some questions outside of the Religion category, but exhibits many of the same scary traits as you. He doesn't answer his critics, is maliciously critical of other religious groups and has an axe to grind much of the time as you do.

***5.*** (again I am not gloating about this but it explains alot)
Now that you have written about the state-supervised visits with your 10 year old daughter and that you do not live with her it just completes the profile you have worked so hard to develop over the last 4 months or so. The fact that they demanded that you not discuss religion with her is not because they are anti-Christian as you have asserted but rather because you have most assuredly scared your daughter witless with previous rantings. I really hope she is with a family member rather than a ward of the state.

The joke is on me though. I have responded to you in the past as if you were sane and attempted to reason with you and engage in some type of Q&A not realizing the whole time that you were officially "a few sandwiches short of a picnic".

So David T found religion 7 weeks ago after a past where he described himself as "a danger to others" and you are basically a mental patient for a lack of a better term.

I am not a Christian but I have a feeling this wasn't what Jesus had in mind when building a following.

Answer 2

You are acting as though you are being inslaved, or under the command of hitler and your a jew or something. Maybe it is late and you need to get some sleep. Okay, so the women was an annoying menace who should be yelled at as I am sure you did, but for crying out loud why get all defensive about your religion and feel the need to wage a verbal war against people who don't like to hear about jesus 24/7. If you need help than turn to jesus. Nobody persuecutes christians. It is the christians who persecute others and I am sick and tired of it.

Answer 3

Christians persecuted That has have been given to be the funniest and maximum ridiculous declare christians like to place declare to. beneficial your persecuted interior u.s. the place the rustic is 70+% Christian, The President and his cabinet are virtually one hundred% christian The congress is around 80% christian maximum folk of the outstanding courtroom is christian How precisely are you being persecuted? through fact some persons right here disagree with you - OMG boo hoo. What do you think of the opportunities of an Atheist being elected to any workplace is? A Muslim? stop being an fool and open your esyes

Answer 4

I think any extreme religion or belief system is completely bizzare and not necessary in the slightest.

In your example, you have the atheist extreme, as well as the christian extreme (which would be you), lashing out at eachother because of your own insecurities. You can't handle the fact that the other one could have a very strong point.

The truth is, there's a strong point in every religion. What's always important is to keep an open mind. Guess what? Neither of you are wrong or right from a neutral, level-headed standpoint. I think you both need to grow up, and be able to have a civilized debate about belief, instead of namecalling. She's not evil, but you're no saint either. Don't be hypocritical, either, or else you're just showing her that you, in fact hardly believe your own religion.

PS - Isn't christianity supposed to be about love, and not spite? Jeez... you really need to re-evaluate yourself.

Answer 5

If by "your access" you mean some form of government assistance...then he's right. God and the government are seperate by law. Save the god talk for outside the office. Even Jesus said "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's."

Calling that "persecution" is ignorant. In the real world, we call that "having a tantrum because you can't have your way".

Answer 6

Uh...you told her she was hell bound? Since when do you have a hotline straight to God that tells you who is going to hell? Granted, she shouldn't have told you what to tell your daughter or not but, I'm pretty sure Jesus said to turn the other cheek. You would've gotten further if you had just walked away.

You weren't really persecuted, the woman just said something a little out of line. She didn't kill you for your beliefs.

Answer 7

I used to get upset too, this is what works for me....You must keep reminding yourself that judging is not our task. God will take care of these folks when the time has come. Grin and bear it my friend for the lord will prevail.Don't react, that is what they want, an argument, there for lowering you to their level. Teach your 10 year old the same ways of thought and you will take care of more situations of this sort without even knowing. Besides, Who did Satan die for?????What has Satan done for you lately?? give yourself a smile and a laugh with thoughts that this person should ask them self. Hell was created for them. See you in paradise.

Answer 8

that's funny,.persecution,...... haven't the Christians been trying that one since the beginning of their religion. I don't recall millions of Christians being killed, imprisoned or treated differently than anyone else lately. But, i can recall a lot of mistreatment of groups of people by the Christians. I would look up the definition of stupid it i was you. I think you may be guilty of both of the things you decry so loudly.

Answer 9

Maybe you should have held your tongue. Sometimes the reaction they want is for you to lash out. Next time practice peace. Atheists need Jesus just as much as we do. They are just as lost as we were. Romans 2 says that it is through God's kindness that draws us to repentance.

Matt 5:10
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I want to add this. notice that the atheists are responding to you saying "aren't you supposed to love."

Answer 10

Told yet another person that they were hell bound, huh. If someone approached me like that I would of simply said, This is my daughter and I can talk about God to her if I please. You don't say, however, what kind of meeting this was. The bible does tell us that there is a time to speak and a time to remain silent.
