Why do Agnostics dispise Christians?

Question

I have heard that Agnostics believe that there is no God. I have noticed that they are always spitting hate at Christians. Can someone tell me why?

Answer 1

Other than your facts and your assumptions, you're absolutely right.

Agnosticism is the position that God's existence or non-existence is ultimately unknowable for whatever reason. Atheists believe that no god exists. And most of the hate-spitting that actually goes on is in reaction to a culture that says it's a virtue to butt into other people's business and tell them how they ought to live and which God they ought to worship.

Answer 2

Well first of all... It is Athiests that despise Christians... Agnosticism isnt really a religion... it is more like the lack thereof...

Agnostics believe that they will do what they feel is best... without faith... they cannot prove nor disprove a god... so it is faith that they lack...

I am Agnostic...
I will not say that there is or isnt a god...
That is not my job as a citizen of this world...

I do not despise christians as a whole... I despise not one religion as a whole...

Although, I despise the people that try to shove religion down other people's throats... I despise the religions that hate on gays, and lesbians, when there are people that go into amish paradises and murder several innocent children... yet gays are obviously higher up on the sin list than murderers... RIGHT?

I despise hypocrites... The ones that talk of no sin whatsoever.. But then they are posers... They are nothing but conformists...

I do not like religion... I think personally, that it is just another way to separate people... by faith... a nontangible object that some do not posess...

It is christians that bash everyone all the time...

It is christians that have no tolerance... Most of them do not support the war going on.. I see their views... But what happens when Iraq gets hundreds of nuclear weapons, and randomly picks a country that it doesnt like.. America being the biggest... and decides to nuke us with everything it has.... Would you still say that the war shouldnt have happened?
Isnt that being hypocritical?

IDK about you.. but ive stated my views... I bash noone except hypocrites, and non tolerant people...

Actually, agnostics don't necessarily believe that there is no God. They say that they don't know whether there is a God(a soft agnostic) or that you cannot know whether there is a God(a hard agnostic). Maybe they hate christians simply because christians not only say that one can know that there is a God but we say that one can know this God personally and have a personal relationship with this God. We say that the God and creator of the universe yearns to have a personal relationship with every living human being. But to have a personal relationship with God you must repent of your sins and ask Christ to come into your heart and then give you the power to live for Him. There lies the real problem. They have their own life and they don't want any God coming into their life and telling them how to live. They want to be free to live any way they want, with as much sin as they deem necessary and they don't want any God with any law of Moses or Christ telling them how to live. They want God on their terms. They have drawn a line in the sand and said "God, you stay on that side of the line and I'll stay on this side of the line". Ultimately, most agnostics and atheists don't have an intellectual problem with God. They have a moral problem with God. Jesus Christ himself gave the real reason why men reject Christ(whether they call themselves agnostics or atheists). He said in John 3:19 " And this is the condemnation, that light(Speaking of Himself) is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil".

Answer 4

Do you even know the difference between Agnostic and Atheistic? Have you noticed how much hate Christians spit at them? Maybe they spit hate at you because you are a moron.

Answer 5

Agnostics make no claim as to whether there is a God or not.

People of all belief systems, including Christians, spit hate at Christians, and everyone else.

Answer 6

First, agnostics do not necessarily believe in god. I don't.

Agnostics believe that it is impossible to know if there is a god; This is a position/view that you can hold whether or not you believe in god.

As an agnostic that does not believe in god, I offer this reason for feeling angst toward christians.

Religion, of all types, is based on a belief in supernatural things & beings.
The evidence does not support this view, which is why religion, ultimately, is taken on 'faith'. ..because it can not be proved.

This means that religious people, by definition, allow themselves to believe in things that are not supported by evidence...not shown to be real...not commensurate with reality.

Thus, religious people are, by their natural, in the habit of making decisions that are not rational...not in tune with reality, as we know it.

Making irrational decisions is both dangerous for the individual, and for the society in which the individual lives and interacts.

When there are large numbers of these irrational (crazy) people running around, making irrational decisions, they are very dangerous to society and all of the other individuals within it.

I don't like to be put at risk by crazy people, which is the main reasons that I feel great angst in dealing with christians, and all members of religions/superstitions.

Answer 7

I don't know that ALL Agnostics despise Chrisitians.

I have found as many, if not more, Chrisitans that despise and "spit hate" at Agnostics and Atheists. Can you tell me why SOME Christians do this? I know that all of them don't, but tell me why those that do, do.

Thanks : ) (I already know it's a choice they make, but why do they choose that path?)

Answer 8

Atheist don't believe in god.
Agnostics either aren't sure if there's a god, or they believe if there's a god, but no way anyone could know it's personality.

Atheist don't hate Christians, we hate their religion.

Answer 9

Well, sorry to break it to you, but to non-Christians, Christians have made a bad reputation for themselves. In your eyes, you didn't. In just about everyone else, you did.
But those who hate are dumb. And I think that you're over exaggerating. They don't all hate them.
And they probably hate them just as much as Christians hate Muslims. So it all works out in the end.

Answer 10

same the other way round pet Christan's hate anything that does not obey their religion. i found that most Christan's are so filled with anger hate and aggression its very sad, you'll find alot of questions basted on hate from Christan's to atheist or agnostic or anything that does not believe in there faith.
