To all you people out there that pick on christians grow up. There seems to be a lot of christian bashing on?

Question

here. I just wish you people would respect our beliefs like you would want us to respect your non beliefs. How can we respect your lack of believe if you do not respect our beliefs. We have faith you do not have any.Why do some of you hurt people. Yes I know this world is stressful I have been there, and getting better, but you non believers, well some of you anyways on here are just showing us christians how cruel and nastly you unbelievers really are, full of hate. At least you are wollowing in your own mud. And you are not taking the real chrstians down to the mud with you. Yes there are some christians that push their faith as I do not do that anymore I loet them make their own dessision. But mocking christians shows that you are very imature and nasty. Do you want to be labled a nasty person? Then leave the chrisitans alone. You mock them you are mocking God, and let me tell you you don't want to mock God. Just concerntrate of your own life instead of making other people miserabe

Answer 1

Usually its retaliation

Answer 2

Perhaps some of the atheists genuinely feel as if they are helping us not to be misguided, just as some Christians feel as if they're helping atheists not be misguided. It is a catch 22.
If BOTH sides would stop "picking on each other," things would be cool.

In all fairness, both sides sometimes "pick at" and "attack,"

Calling Christians stupid and asking ludicrous questions is pointless, as is forcing any beliefs on another person.
Criticizing anyone is unkind and does no good. It only makes for bad feelings.

Calling names only makes the person who does it look childish and immature. I have seen that done as well.)
It does get tiresome, doesn't it.

Atheists don't KNOW that God doesn't exist. They have no unequivocal proof. They say we have no unequivacol proof, either. It's a pointless argument.

Answer 3

I agree there is a lot of bashing. What does make a difference is how we deal with it. If every Christian would count the bashing as a blessing for witnessing for Jesus how could we go wrong? We need to consider each one of these questions and answers as an opportunity to witness and possibly reach someone who would otherwise not listen because of being trashed for their beliefs. We can present the good news without putting people off. If they do not listen or read of what good is our witness? Any who that is how I look at taking one for God.

Answer 4

It is a touchy subject which often brings out the worst in people of all religions.

Religious belief is for the individual, but surely society can get past this and unite on the basis that we are all human, only then will we see toleration, and peace, overall the dominance of religion is a means to an end

i hope humanity can rise above it eventually

Answer 5

And some christians show no respect either.. it's a two way street. Also, you assume we have no faith.. faith is something we choose to have or not and some of us do but not in the same things you do. Myself, for instance, has faith in my fellow human beings, imperfect as they are.

This is an open board where all are allowed to share their thoughts and opinions. What you may perceive as being picked on others won't. You may perceive this as such and if you do that is your perception only; not mine. I am married to a christian and have christian parents so I know the difference between good christians and bad.

Answer 6

It's not hate... it's pain. Whether Christian, atheist, or something else, we're all human and we all long for acceptance. I hope you can understand that many atheists go through a daily struggle to feel accepted for who they are in a society that is mostly Christian, and since we're not widely accepted we feel a lot of pain. Some jerks may think that pain we feel is a lack of God in our lives, but that's not the case. One way for people to deal with that pain is to lash out at Christians who they see as the "group" of people who have outcasted them. So I hope you can live by the golden rule... just as you wish them to accept you for who you are and what you believe, you must also accept them for who they are and what they believe... and honestly I think most Christians don't see that this golden rule should supersede any impulse to try to convert an atheist.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Your threat that people are mocking god isn't going to work on those who don't believe he exists.
When christians start acting like their christ is portrayed, there won't be an issue of them being mocked. There are several on here who do and are highly respected by non-chrisitians. You don't see atheists mocking Debra M, Susan J, Father K, ramjet, patrick d carpathian, etc.. because they are respectful of others. If you want respect, try giving it .. also try understanding that there are other beliefs and non-belief in the world.. and they are not evil, satan-worshipping, self-indulgent fools. You'll be amazed at how far that goes.

Answer 8

From your nonsense, we can surmise that you do not hold a high opinion of those who are not Christian or do not think like you do.

Alex the Clone basher hit the nail on the head. Throughout your smug little diatribe, you refer to Non-Christians as non-believers. In other words, according to your take on things, Jews and Muslims are non-believers, to name two world religions. Also, many non-believers have arrived at this position thanks to Christians like yourself, who have done a good job of misrepresenting the religion. In addition, many non-believers have arrived at where they are through much thought, meditation and inward-turning, three things I sense lacking in your language.

Your post was extremely infantile and unnecessary. Christians aren't happy unless they're being persecuted. Always think about what you are going to say before you make a permanent record of for others to see and remember.

Answer 9

The topic is "religion and spirituality", not the "christian happy fun club". I am here for open theological debate and information gathering.

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus”
 
 

Answer 10

Can you read? Your own statement is why you get picked on. You are arrogant and think only you are right, and no one suffers but you. Open your eyes, child. You are not alone on this huge planet, your ideas do not apply to everybody and all faiths are attacked. Stop the pity party.

I don't hate Christians, by the way. I have no name on my beliefs, I believe in God. I just don't like whiners.

Answer 11

You know, it's difficult not to mock someone who believes in fairy tales as an adult. I can't be mocking god, because you can't mock the non-existent.

It's basically frustration that religious believers won't grow up and think rationally, and instead pin their pathetic hopes on their magic sky-friend, all the while telling us rational folk that we're evil and will be burned in hell.

You might see it as nasty, but to me it's just the facts. You are deluded. I'm not. Simple as that.
