im not an atheist, but i, as an agnostic, get extremely rude and irrational behavior from christians all the time...

the difference between christians and atheists, is christians are supposed to be living by a book. their rules for life are written down. atheists arent. they arent held to those rules in your book.

so whos the hypocrite?


note: yes this is in response to that "applauding atheists question/statement"

As neither a christian nor atheist, I'll agree to an extent.
I've seen bashing from both sides, but christians (in general and on this site) historically start the flame wars. I wonder if this is really the christ in them that they want us all to see.

You look concentrated on Christians, or consistent with threat purely Evangelicals or Fundamentalist Protestants. to three volume you need to have a element, judging via the placards that was viewed at street demonstrations. a militia of intolerants? consistent with threat. however the Catholic Church for one has relatively became the nook on intolerance, under the enlightened management of recent popes. they're interior the leading fringe of scuffling with discrimination and preserving minorities. no it is common to assume whether or no longer there'll be yet another holocaust. there have been various because of the fact 1945, in Africa and Cambodia for examples. human beings are able to sizeable evil.

Not all Christians are rude, but I know that there are some rude Christians, but I know a lot of nice Christians. I also know some nice Atheists, but I also know some rude Atheists. It's not really an aspect of religion, as much as it is an aspect of personality and human behavior.

I think you're overgeneralizing. There are many Christians (such as me, for example) who think the constant bickering and lame, futile attempts to convert atheists and agnostics by posting some rant on Yahoo! Answers in completely unacceptable.

Please don't make the mistake of thinking that all Christians are @$$ holes just because a few of them are...and there seems to be an unusually high concentration of that minority using Y! Answers. Some of us (like me) will treat all non-Christians with the unconditional respect that we believe our God treats us with.

I am a Christian & I often find answers from people who claim to be Christtian objectionable, offensive & unnecessary. I'm not a goody two-shoes but I try to give honest opinions in a polite manner. Most of the time ;). Apologies for the rudeness of those who give us a bad name--perhaps one day we'll all grow up. Peace.

All of us, Christian and non-Christian have a soul which longs for God. Denying the soul will not make it go away.
The Ten Commandments are laws based upon the natural law which all of humankind, by their conscience, is bound to obey. All of us are hypocrites when we do not rise to a higher standard than the animals. Rude behavior is not acceptable from anyone.

omg, how do some people say they haven't seen the rude christians ??

here ya go: (from yesterday)
Monica L. "NO, THE ATHEISTS ARE ALL PSYCHO KILLER FIENDS. WATCH YOUR KIDDIES! HERE THEY COME! "
"TALKING TO AN ATHEIST IS LIKE TALKING TO A BRICK WALL, THEY'RE THICK! ONLY THE BRICK WALL IS SMARTER THAN THEY ARE, OF COURSE. " and she goes on and on, never doing anything but insult others.

Mahal: "You're a good example of why I constantly refer to Atheists as "sub-human", a-moral, and uneducated. It's really easy for Christians to get the best of you in any debate. It really must be embarrassing for you. "

s l "Are atheists just stupid or are they demons or working for Satan?
dont bother with your stupid atheist answers . i do know enough to know not to listen to someone that is surronded by miricles and is told repeatedly the right answer yet makes the choice to go to hell . cant waste my time reading your stupid remarks "
"After a certain point should christains help athesits by burning them say burning there hands off so they feel
a tiny bit of the pain they will feel in hell. i really want to help them but they fail time and again to listen . would it not be more loving to just burn off one or there hands or even just a finger so they know the fear they should have."
" if i were in charge now i would have cast all the athethists into hell already"

okay, I read the other question and answered it, and here is my answer to you which is the same:
No matter what group you look at, whether it be athiest, christian, buddhist or a knitting circle, you will find people who are stupid, nice,sweet, rude, ignorant, lame, and all other things you can think of....
What I see is that we are all on here hashing it out, and it can get a bit dirty, but then that one post comes in, and its clear that its someone in trouble, who really needs help, and everybody recognizes it, and all athiests, christians, everybody is respectful, helpful, kind, and understanding;
this is what I see that is consistant and refreshing. I give props to everyone for that.

As neither an atheist nor a Christian, and as an Ex-Atheist, you'd expect I'd find the atheists more rude ( Ex-anythings tend to be that way) but I find the subset of Christianity that shouts here to be far worse.

Well, if I were an Atheist, I would call christians hypocrits, too. If I didn't really have any "rules" to live by, then everything is hunky dorey in atheistland. Sheesh.
