I got my first hate mail how would you rate it on a 1-10 based on hate?

Question

I feel so proud, it is not Y!A but another site.

"You know, it makes me feel good that even an idiot (yes, I said idiot, despite your previous pathetic complaints) like you is helping me. By responding to my comments, you give me a reason to respond to yours, and then increase my chances of being clicked on. And then, you go to my channel, and my videos, comment on it, then leave your e-print, and increase my hits, and my chances for being viewed by other people. Thank you, pathetic athieistic scum of the earth! You are with the kind of people that make me make more videos and become more popular than idiots like you, with your patheticly small athiest community, trying to combat the overwhelming power of the Christian community. You, with the only rocks to cling to are pathetic, undereducated fools like Brett Keane, thinking that they can disprove the Bible with a few pagan myths, and babbling stupidly into a camera, without a comic effect intended (but still existant). "

"You, who believes that no God exists, and will rot forever in the deepest pit of Hell, along with Brett Keane, and all of your freaky little athiest friends. Good-bye, athiest scum, and keep viewing my videos!"

I don't think he put enough into it, I give it a 3.. 10 being the most hateful.

sybil,
nah, I just left a comment on his video.

I did not write it.

Answer 1

Dude, this person isn't really a Christian. Any fool can claim to be a Christian, but this person obviously isn't following Christ because they obviously don't have His love in their life.

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

You are a very poor example of a Christian, Friend, you will never surpass the time I have been serving God. How long do you claim to be a christian, or are you one, I have been a Christian or over 37 yrs. So you are not dealing with a novice. This kind of language you use as a hate answer to the atheists, is not a good example as a Christian, In fact it is not any kind of example. I do not go alone with the atheists myself, But I will not call them a slim, they are a lost sinner as I was one day & as you were one day. I say this humblely, If you want to profess a Christian, act like one. Remeber we could have been left without God also, But God saw grace & mercy, by all meanings I should have been killed years ago, But God spared my life.

Answer 4

Only about a 4. But he called you an idiot does he not realize that according to the New Testament "if you call your brother an idiot it is punishable by eternal hellfire! (Okay I don't know the exact verse, I am not a Christian and I cannot remeber the verse and chapter from memory it is in the New Testament somewhere)A Christian once corrected me that I should not call someone an idiot because that can get you in trouble.

Answer 5

Most Christians mean well when they defend their faith. But, too often, many make fundamental errors when dialoguing with atheists. We need to make as few errors as possible, not simply to win an argument, but to help the atheist come to a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus.


Following are common mistakes made by theists when dialoguing with atheists.

Labeling Atheists
Some Christians have labeled atheists as evil, stupid, devil-worshippers, or morally void. Though there may be some atheists who fit these categories (as would many in the general population), atheists are not categorically evil, stupid, devil-worshipping, degenerates with no morals. Many of them are fine citizens, honest, caring, loving, and patient. For a Christian, or anyone for that matter, to make a blanket statement about atheists in a derogatory manner is wrong. It is the same thing atheists sometimes do when they accuse Christians of being irrational, psychotic, or stupid. Such accusations have no place on either side of the argument of truth.

Generally speaking, atheists are not stupid. Many of them have thought through their position over a long period of time and arrive at conclusions after much thought. Some were raised in religious homes, have seen what religion has to offer, and have rejected it. Of course, I think that atheists have drawn incorrect conclusions about God, but it doesn't mean they are dumb. Some atheists have presented very cogent arguments against the existence of God, which need to be addressed.

So, just because someone believes in God and encounters someone who doesn't, that does not mean that either side is stupid. Labeling and name-calling have no place in the discussion.

Ignoring Atheists' Questions
If you were standing on a railroad track and a train was heading your way, closing your eyes and ignoring the locomotive will not make it go away. If an atheist asks a question and you ignore it repeatedly, it would be fair for him to conclude you were incapable of answering the objection. Of course, this does not mean you have to always answer everything because dialogue flows both ways. But, it is important that you face issues. If you don't have an answer, admit it. That's okay. It doesn't mean you are wrong. It means you don't have an answer. Go study and get an answer and get back to him.
Stating that Atheism is a religion
Atheists will repeatedly tell you that they are not in a religion. A religion almost always is defined to include belief in a deity of some sort. Atheism is non-belief in a deity. It isn't necessarily a "belief that there is no God," (though it can be)but is "not believing either way."

To label an atheist as a religious person is to put up a roadblock to effective communication. It would be like someone saying to a Christian, "You believe in a mean, tyrannical being who likes to torture people." The Christian would simply role his eyes and think that the person doesn't know what he's talking about. So, how much effective conversation could there be in either instance? Not much.

Stating unsupportable facts
No one has all documentation for everything they say. It is not reasonable to require proof from an atheist on everything said. Nevertheless, if you are going to state a fact or two, it is good to have the documentation at the tip of your tongue -- at least occasionally, of have access to it. It adds to your credibility. Of course, you don't have to document everything, but if you have some illustrious fact to use, try and have it documented.
Never admitting when you are wrong
Pride is a harmful thing. It caused the fall. It ruins marriages. It leads to anger and self-righteousness. It has no place in the Christian's life. Never admitting you are wrong is being prideful. If an atheist, or anyone, proves you wrong is something, be kind and courteous. Admit you made a mistake and go on. Everyone makes mistakes, even atheists. There is nothing wrong with admitting an error. It no more proves you are wrong about Christianity than being wrong about the color of a boat means boats don't exist. But, if you never admit when you are wrong, you will not be able to convince anyone in a discussion of your position. You will simply loose the respect of the one with whom you are debating.

Answer 6

I'd give it a 4.2, but the Russian judges only give a 2.8. Them Russians are always tough. ;)

Seriously, yeah, that's kinda mild. Overuse of the word "pathetic" really loses points... and who actually uses the words "scum of the earth" any more? Finish with a poor dismount, and a total lack of an appreciable flounce? ::shakes head:: Nah, I don't think this one's big enough to keep, going to have to throw it back.

Answer 7

Wow! That is pretty pathetic. How long did it take you to write it? I'd give you a 2 for creativity and a 4 on the hate scale.

Answer 8

Yeah - no more than a 3. He's really trying, but he uses the word 'pathetic' way too often. For a 10, you need a better vocabulary. Or a good thesaurus.

Answer 9

If you are a christian what kind of example are you setting? The bible says to walk in love and to be humble. To pray for the less fortunate and be the example of Christ, what are you being? You are being very rude and that is out of God's will he would not want you to be talking like this, In the name of Jesus I pray that he makes you humble before his feet, that he covers you with the blood of Christ. That you will walk in love and be covered by the Holy Ghost in Jesus mighty Name!!

Answer 10

I think it's a 4. He certainly used 'pathetic' on a frequent basis, and he seems to have a grudge against Brett Keane.

Most of the hatemail I get comes from the semi-literate. A lot of U and UR's.
