I had more judgments made by people here about myself, all of whom have never met me; when I posted the question about athheists ragging on peope with a faith.
It only proves my point: ALL people are guilty of it. Not just people with a faith; and not just atheists! So how is one better than the other?

And I notice a lot of personal abuse here, too. My goodness. Just ask a simple question!
For those of you who make domments without knowing what I asked. Go look it up and stay out unless you know what you are talking about.
And one of you has been reported for personal abuse.

Yes, Murasor most were good reasonavle answers. But I am talking about the ones that were not.Obviously; that is what the question was about in the first place. For those who think that twisted hateful way; and not just those who disagree, which is certainly fine.

I don't want to be: because I do not know anyone anymore.

You're exactly right. EVERYONE has the tendency to be judgemental, not just Christians.

By your own admission most of the answers you received to that question were good answers. That being the case, I do not see how you construe that to have proved your point. Your prior question was presented in a rather confrontational manner and yet you received mostly answers that were neither confrontational nor displaying the hate you claimed existed.
This statement you make here (it's not a question, by the way) is also a bit confrontational. Perhaps, if you want less "ragging," you should think about how to present your ideas in a more neutral manner.

Religion, as far as I know, doesn't USUALLY figure in how people treat each other or judge each other. There are total idiots who believe in Christ and wonderful people who do. Same for atheism. Christians have done bad things and good things, and vice versa for most other religions (I think Buddhists generally have the best track record.)
I think being nice, tolerant, and understanding does not come out of faith, but of your own personal spiritual journey. And no, people act like it all the time, but no matter how much smarter you are you aren't better than others. Religion is not necessarily unique to all humans, but love, compassion, and peace are (although some people, like the US president, are fairly blind to those values, that doesn't mean that they are innately evil. We ALL know those values, even if we have forgotten them; we can remember them.)

Of course. It's one of the wonders of the human mind. Given limited information, it's easy to come to conclusions, even though they are often false. Judgment is easy, and human. We all abhor it, and then jump into it.
But I bet you knew that before you asked your question, didn't you?
We're all human. Being atheist or deist does not make one inherently better than someone else. Only a truly arrogant person would think that. It's actions, not ideas that count.

I wish I had seen your previous question. No one should judge that is not our job. You will get negative comments from atheists and theists alike no matter what you post. Many theists dislike atheists because they see them as close minded and ignorant. Many atheists dislike theists because they see them as close-minded and uneducated. Granted there will be some on both sides that fit those descriptions we can not generalize one because of their beliefs or philosophies when we do that we only show our ignorance. God Bless.

EVERYONE judges. I don't care what they say, you can't get through life without judging people. Can I trust them? Do they have a degree? Will they pay me back? Judging is perfectly natural and very important.
It's nothing to be guilty about. Judge! And keep judging, or the first person who says 'thou shalt not judge' is going to take off with your wallet.

i didnt see your previous question. but im an atheist, i just cant generally believe that 2000 years ago there was a carpenter with magical powers and only one natural parent. i actually believe that th life of brian is a more accurate story than the bible, thats right, the bible is a meer story that was writen by the fremasons (who are actually satanists) as the bible does have subliminal satanist messages in it

one side being better or worse does not make what it believes right or wrong - you're question in a idiotic forum like this is pointless since many here are the worst examples of different persuasions.

Studies consistently show atheists are by far the most looked down upon group in this country.

In situations such as this. You need to go on a person by person basis. Grouping is unfair.
