Your not christan, so why ask so many questions about it? It seems to me that your doing the same thing YOU say we do..ya know you say we push our religion on you? then why do you argue with us about it even when we just ask a question?

Some non believers ask questions because they want believers to actually think about why they believe a certain thing. Some ask questions for the same reason that believers ask non believers questions, because they are curious. There is no reason why a person of any belief should mind being ask a question about why they think the way they do about any subject. If you don't know why then don't answer.
Debat is not arguement.
Debat and discussion is not "pushing" our ideas on others.
Christians try to get laws passed that require everyone to have to live according to the way they believe. That is pushing.
A lot of harm has been done in the name of god. Christians will do anything to put the fear of god into anyone who is of a different belief system. Anyone who thinks not is ignorant of history and world events.
What the bible teaches about tolerance and loving others is not what believers do. Most christians are intolerant to anyone who is not one of thier own kind.

I care because I believe Christians are being mislead. I ask and answer here and in real life in order to help people see the contridictions between their own faith.
I personally don't like to argue. I perfer conversations. Unfortunately, it has been my personal experience with Christians that any challenge to their faith is an attack and hence becomes an argument. Not all Christians do this - but many I have met.
And yes Christians do push their religion - becuase they believe it is the only way to be saved. Which is admirable but irritates people who see the whole picture.
I'll take my thumbs down now.

As an Agnostic I like to question everything. I am exceedingly confused by Christians and there use of the word TRUTH. I can see the point of atheist's in that there information comes from science , and to the best of my knowledge science is honest. Some scientists may not be honest ( actually there not scientists if they are not honest ) but science is. I can see your point because some of the atheists can be spite-full and rude.
Personally I abhor the teaching of Faith in the form of Facts and Truth to children. I think that by teaching children matters of faith ( dogmatic literature ) in the form of facts and truth you are robbing that child of the ability to have any real faith in God(s) , origin , or afterlife. And for them to have meaning at all it needs to be there decision. Sooo......
In stead of being apathetic I chose to come here and answer questions in the hopes of helping the future generations and that makes me feel good.
Loin of Juda - I enjoyed reading your answer. I really liked that you stated that what you wrote was an opinion. I don't agree with all of it , but I found it insightful.

the bottom line is that everyone is out to prove that their religion is better than everyone else's religion. The fact that some people are not Christian doesn't mean they are not religious. Furthermore, why do you complain about non-Christians arguing with you, when you initiate the argument by asking questions like this. You don't see atheists going door-to-door trying to sell you on atheism do you. I get a bible-thumper at my door at least once a week, inviting me to their church, trying to convince me that their religion is the right one, etc. It's ridiculous.

Because it's an open forum.
Try to put the shoe on the other foot. If you were in a predominately Muslim country, would you want the right to be able to discuss Islam? Then why wouldn't you extend that right to others?

Some people are actually open minded enough to learn about another religion instead of automatically opposing it because it doesn't fit their set of beliefs.
Gee, what a concept!

Ummm you are aware, this is not the "christian" catagory.... right?
Christians don't hold the monopoly on religion and spirituality. Although they think they do.
Perhaps you feel non chrisitans "care" so much about christianity because it's the most "in your face" religion?

Actually most of the non Christians or non believers here aren't telling you what to think and we're right and you're wrong....we're just simply asking for proof as to why we should believe like you're always telling us we should.
