Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man’s sake.

Luke 21:17
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.
John 7:7
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
John 12:25
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Luke 16:13
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

Invitation to Choose Otherwise:
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to Me(Jesus), all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
[Pray my brother that Father God's love will overcome the deceptions.]

Wow! Im happy with you! That took lots to assert, sorry! Why subject approximately what they think of? people who're hurting, and have been harm continuously have behaviors like that... merely love them. remember what Jesus sai?. For they understand no longer what they are doing. you recognize that each and each physique which they say approximately us isn't actual. whether it became, Jesus loves us merely the way we are, unconditionally. i understand many christians that are genius and lots greater. they are Drs., attorneys, instructors, Artists and lots greater,. Be advantageous in what you have confidence, be chuffed and have fun. you have God! You now no longer experience the way you probably did. you're Born returned, you have a greater effective and a clean existence. God helped you to alter... compliment the Lord!

like Christians, some of us wish to proselytise. we wish to dispel the dark forces of superstitious medieval ignorance. to enlighten and illuminate people's lives with the good news, that there is no good news. we feel the compassionate need to rescue those trapped in the mire of despondent dependancy. we have this right as much as the people who harass us in the high streets demanding to know if we acknowledge, 'Jesus as our Savior', as the ones who knock at our door weekly, the ones who preach on TV. an insult for a christian seems to be anything that questions their beliefs, why should it not be the same for us atheists. it is not to justify our beliefs that we come here, look at us like the christian missionaries who trekked through the wilds of Africa during the 19th century, smashing idols, destroying whole social systems and the basis for tribal cohesion to spread the word of the lord. i will be thinking of you hoping you find the light, sincerely wishing that the rest of your life is not spoilt by the visions of hellfire and damnation. (now do you get why we're here)?

I see your point. I've noticed an awful lot of mudslinging from both sides. I'm an athiest, myself, but I believe that the values I hold true are mine to hold and you may hold your own - you still have my respect. Christian, athiest or anything else, if we must insult others to be heard, we have learned nothing.

If you were a true Christian wouldn't you leave the judgment and condemning to your God? Instead of telling us "non-believers" that we shall all surely go to Hell, unless we repent?
If you were a true Christian, would it matter to you if we were insulting? Shouldn't you turn the other cheek?
If you were a true Christian, why would you waste your time insulting US? You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar...or am I wrong?
Leave your judgment to your God...

I'm an atheist, i do not insult Christians. i am fascinated by theology that is why I'm here!!! i find it interesting how and why people reach out to "god", the human condition and all that. i don't want to be ignorant to religious beliefs just because i am atheist, i still want to be educated in religion!
educated atheism. yeah!

When did I insult you, or any of them for that matter? If I check my memory banks, Christians are the worst offenders on here. And I COULD talk about how religion in general has been the catalyst behind (as well as the mask covering) the worst atrocities in the history of mankind, but then I'd just be proving your inept little question here...wouldn't I?

As an Atheist I never on purpose insulted religious people. The only thing I try to do is point to the enormous flaws in religious teachings and holy books. If pointing out to people that they are wrong and mistaken to belief in gods is insulting I am sorry. Check my favorite link please; http://godisimaginary.com/

Gotta have some fun watching you reel in terror when you can't substantiate your own beliefs. Consider it a video game for atheist.
Oh, and how confident? Three guns stuck to my head. Didn't consider Jesus for a moment. I'm a foxhole atheist.
