Christians, Why is it so hard for you to understand Atheist? Why is it so easy for Atheist to understand you?

Question

Christians are easy to understand. You just can't understand how the universe came about on it's own. Also, you dont want to take a chance on going to hell. Unexplained experiences fuels your beliefs.

Answer 1

if you understood them so well, you'd just give it a rest instead of trying to provoke them. I have Christian friends, and they don't try to convert me, and I don't try to dissuade them.

Answer 2

I feel that I have had experiences with God, and those experiences shape my beliefs. I have prayed for sick people and I have seen them healed instantly. I dream about people before I meet them. I have seen God do things only God can do. I feel that my beliefs are more experientially based then you assume. I know that is not very common for many Christians, but it is for me. I don't think you understand that aspect of my religious experience.
As for understanding Atheists, I believe that a western worldview is actually a handicap for you. There are three epistemological paths that dominate the west: Empiricism, Philosophy, and Math.
Math has little religious significance.
The scientific method is based on the idea that you observe a natural phenomenon in a controlled environment to falsify a hypothesis. There are not any spiritual “tests” one can do.
If you look for God in philosophy you might build an argument against his existence, but if you see him do things that only he can do the argument falls apart.
Try changing your direction, I know this may be a leap, but why not ask God, "If you are real show me in a way that I will know that I know that you are?" You could be talking to thin air. I thought that I was when I first did. But God revealed himself to me through acts of power.

Answer 3

I don't understand how atheists, who claim to be so logical, stand by a logical impossibility. You cannot prove a NEGATIVE. You can prove something does exist, you can be unsure whether it exists or not, but you absolutely can't be sure something does not exist because you can't be in every place at every time and observe all things that have ever occurred in order to prove that something ISN'T. Atheists are the most illogical people in the world.

And just because you don't want to believe the explanation for something doesn't make it any less an explanation. Things are what they are whether you're willing to acknowledge them or not, and God exists whether you are willing to acknowledge him or not.

If you can actually explain how the universe came about on its own I'm all ears. But I really don't think you can. If things came out of some sort of cosmic sludge, how did the sludge get there? If it was the big bang, something had to make things "bang!" Laws & theories of physics & biology still lead to the need for a Creator in order to work, they just don't get all the way to the beginning on their own.

Answer 4

I find that to be a very narrow point of view, and an indication that you don't understand christianity as well as you may think.

I understand the atheist point of view quite well, I was one for quite some time. I thought everything made perfect logical sence.


There was one thing a christian friend of mine once said to me that I never understood until I accepted Christ, it was this, "You say that you must see to believe. Christ says believe, and then you will see."

From an atheist point of view, christianity does look easy to understand, but what I learned was that it's absolutely impossible for an atheist to really grasp christianity ... or any belief structure for that matter.

Answer 5

The conceited a-theist only thinks he understands a Christian just as he only think he understands anything and everything else. That is the definition of conceit. It is delusion.

A Christian on the other hand cannot grasp the foolishness of unbelief. Never will be able to understand that. Personally I don't really want to. To not believe in a Creator is very very unfathomable to me. So there it is not the same between us because of pride. Your pride.

Answer 6

there's a asserting; there are no longer any atheists in foxholes. i do no longer think of that there any absolute atheists or on the main extremely few people who're authentic atheist in spite of what they could declare. maximum so called athiests merely choose actual evidence that God or a miles better being exists as did the Apostle Thomas himself who walked and talked with Jesus for the time of his mortal ministry... whilst he mentioned that he does no longer have self assurance that Jesus rose from the lifeless till he touched his grasp's hands and ft. If confronted with an extremely dire subject, i think maximum athiests might to coach to a being they disdain for an answer in that 2nd. they only close thier hearts and minds to the forged interior the worldwide around them, so as that they concentration on the wicked issues that adult adult males do interior the worldwide. yet I see and be attentive to God is everywhere, hear to the birds sing interior the morning, watch a father swing a guffawing little lady or boy around, see the liliacs swaying in a medow or seem on the celebs at evening with your loved ones and you will start to attain that he does stay and watches over us. All it demands is exercising somewhat faith.

Answer 8

As long as you think that hell is the reason for believing in God then you don't understand Christians. You however, fear going to hell but see yourself as an Atheist and evolution as the excuse to disbelieve God; so you feel you can't part with your delusion. You should learn to think for yourself.

Answer 9

When I look at the human body.So beautiful,with so many parts,movement.The perfect way the body fits together.The heart,lung ,live, kidney.Then all the other little parts.Fingers ,toes,a smile,tears.Then I have to lift my voice in praise to the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
I know with in my heart ,we are not a mistake or an explosion or evolved.We are a beautiful creation,created by loving hands.<><

Answer 10

Each of us are so committed to our own beliefs, it is impossible
for either of us to see and understand why anyone could think or feel differently than we do.

Answer 11

When you have faith, understanding is useless, it's the whole point.
Only if you are lacking faith then you question for understanding .This leads to knowledge and science which in turns leads to heresy and we all know where that might lead to.
