If you look through the religion/spirituality questions on here, many more than half are written by people just looking to slam on religion. I can understand the reasons some people choose not to believe in christianity, but why the need to constantly lash out at something you don't accept as true anyway?

There is a part of them which wants to understand faith. Don't treat them like they are attacking you, treat them as they are asking questions. They're like lost children, as we all are before the universe. I was heavy into science for 20 years, and seriously depressed too. It took an amazing wake up call for me to realize I was a spiritual being. Don't be down on them, unfortunatly spiritual reality isnt something we can explain easily in words... So just don't be cruel to them, it only re-inforces their walls.
Peace

Christianity isn’t slammed enough, neither is Islam, nor Judaism for that matter.
These religions have directly or indirectly caused hundreds of millions of deaths in the world.
The biggest block of voters in the USA is the far right conservative Christian. These are the people that wanted to remove common sense from the classroom by teaching Intelligent Design. These are the same people that claim an absolute monopoly on moral character, primarily by looking down on everyone that isn’t part of their faith.
Some of us are sick to death of the moral majority of Christians and want to know why no one actually follows what Jesus taught. Things like loving your enemies, turning the other cheek, not swearing oaths (that would include swearing into the military.)
Every Veterans Day I hear some blowhard telling me how wonderful it is to serve God, and your country, in that order. I’m a Veteran and I was almost kicked out of the military because I claimed Wicca as my religion.
Trust me when I say I’m sick of Christians talking about being persecuted while doing everything they can to ruin someone else’s life. How many Christians were sought out and killed because of their beliefs in the last two hundred years? The Christians that were killed either were killed for reasons other than their faith, or because they had been the worst kind of pest. Now how many Witches, Gnostics, Jews, and Christians with a slightly higher tolerance for differing opinions were tortured, burned or hung?
Christians you have NOTHING to be proud of!

Put it this way, if Christians do not believed in no gods, why do they talk against it all the time? Why do christians slam the atheists all the time?
Why the need to constantly lash out at something you don't accept as reality anyway?
A coin have two sides, it is not a legal tender without either one.

Lashing out at something I do not believe to be true would seem ridiculous until you realise that western society in general is governed by people who follow these beliefs and impose them on me. I have spent too long swallowing the bigotry of Christians and their god. It's time those of us who can see a more peaceful world without religion and false gods had their time. We have been silent long enough. We rant for freedom.

I seldom talk about Christianity except to set some of you Christians straight on this page. Those of you who are too lazy to read your own Bible. You just go to church listen to what any fool tells you and accept it while your Bible gathers dust on the mantle. I would say at least 75% of you are Biblicly illurate. Try studying your own religion sometimes. And quit telling Atheist to read the Bible. Most Atheists know the Bible much better than you do. You poor little Christians whining about Atheists. Where is your faith?

The simple fact my friend is, not all christians are Christ like.If there are genuine queries about the gospel I do not understand why it should not be clarified. Most christians believe that being born as a christian is enogh for them to attain salvation. At the same time non-christians are labelled non-believers. The fact is very plain...anyone who is Christ like in his every action is a Christain. So I think it is necessary that one clears genuine doubts and just ignore stupid questions.

Same is true for all other religions, not only christianity.
Muslims get as great as any other religions' daily dose on "trashing", verbal abuse, and hatred. We have even a larger share of clones who take disrespect as a way of self entertainment.All of it is shocking, but what could we do?
If i could I would stop this thing once and for all. i mean stopping all the hate propaganda. The people of the world need to love their fellow beings first, and only then can God love all of us..

So that they can continue to affirm their state of denial of God and his truth and the coming judgment on all unbelievers. It's like if you were in an airplane and the engines had failed and the plane was still flying but you knew eventually it was going to crash and you were going to die. Some people might try to allay their fear by acting like everything was going to be alright and they were not really going to crash. Or someone might have an incurable disease and they didn't want to face it so they denied the truth of the doctors report over and over again so that they could comfort them self and not have to face the unpleasant prospect of death.

Out of boredom, and to possibly save one person from living a life of delusion. Let's face it, religion gets shoved down our throats in so many ways, some subtle and some blatant, every day, so why should n't we be allowed to shove lack of religion down other people's throats. After all, if they do become atheists only good can come of it.

Actually, they know that God is real. They just tell the lie that they don't believe it. They have no fear of God, because He doesn't strike them dead when they are spouting there foolishness. But on Judgment Day they will wish they had not been so stubborn and stupid, unfortunately for them it will be way too late then.
