Example: Not Trying to Offend any Atheists :D
MYSPACE has a room titled "Christians", There are other rooms to go to like Hindu, Catholic, Philosophy, Waiting Room, Judism etc. and over 50 other Places to chat outside of Religion and Philosophy but they are always in Christian Room and get mad when we talk about God. Why is this? Im just curious because it doesn't make sence.
Please, no bashing answers from anyone including Christian. I just want honest, respectful answers. Thank you, God bless

PAUL:
What do you mean, "Given your history".
As a Christian, i have not been on a bashing rampage like alot of others. And yes, people do get upset when we talk about God. We aren't their to bash on atheist but only share the goodness of God, yet you just to assumptions an think that we are only in their jumping on Atheist. Bro, Please don't assume before looking yourself.

I agree with you -- if an atheist enters a chat room SPECIFICALLY targeting a Christian audience, then they are seeking trouble.
HOWEVER, it's not like Christians don't make appearances in atheist chat rooms, LGBT chat rooms, Muslim chat rooms, etc. The door swings both ways.

Because most christians would get mad at them, and they like to argue and debate, as other religious people would just be open minded and ask you questions as of why you don't believe in god etc...
Christians think that they are right, when we all know that religion is about faith, not about truth... NO ONE knows the truth, not the atheists, not the christians, NO ONE !!!

" I just want honest, respectful answers"
Given your history, you don't have the right to ask that. If you want respect, you'd better start acting respectably.
As for an answer to your question, as you've surely noticed, Christians online spend a lot of time lying about atheists. Why wouldn't atheists want to respond to that kind of childish attack?
As for your "and get mad when we talk about God", I think you're making that up. I'm sure that atheists point out that the things that the Christians are saying about their beliefs are silly, but I doubt that atheists are showing up in a Christian chat room and then just getting angry at the fact that people are talking about gods there.
You'd get a lot further if you'd start being honest about this, kid.

"What do you mean, "Given your history".

I mean given your history of bashing people who don't agree with you. You're a liar when you claim not to have done so.
As I said, you'd get a lot further if you'd start being honest, and falsely accusing me of jumping to conclusions doesn't help your case either.

They do this for the same reason we go to shopping malls and hand out leaflets. Do convert us to atheism. Interestingly enough neither works very well at the moment but may plant the seed of doubt/faith. It is done to shake things up. But usually just angers everyone. The christians feel attacked and the atheists are frustrated

I went to a Christian chat room when I was feeling confused about several Bible verses. (I was still a Christian myself at the time.) They kicked me right out for daring to even slightly question the Bible. Just lovely.

Why ask why? Why do Christians only insist on chatting or communicating with other Christians? When it comes to chatting with all other people, it's not chatting, it's always preaching, or pushing their ideals on non- believers. And then you wonder why Christians get so much flack. Just be normal and people will want to hear what you say. Love them and they will open up when you are not preaching. Your life, not your mouth, will do the best preaching, and teaching.

Well you have to understand that your own beliefs can offend anyone. Its true they shouldn't probably go to those rooms though if you're talking about R&S, that includes anyone who has a belief. Some will say atheists don't believe in anything. Thats not really true, they believe that when you die, its game over. Even my opinion right now, will probably offend someone.

yWe should pray for those atheists because something made them go to that chatroom. They may insult left and right but just as long as they are exposed to God thru the chatroom, there is always the chance that they might be unconsciously filing away what they read in their brain.
There are alot of people that go to chatrooms like sleazeballs. But just as long as they are exposed to the Truth(unwillingly, of course) God bless them.
I admit that when trolls are in chatrooms(or on yahoo answers) my patience is thin but I try to remember that they are being exposed to the Truth.

Probably because a lot of them are evangelical and nosy. They identify themselves strongly by their atheism, as opposed to by whatever other traits they might possess.
Not a lot different from Christians, by all appearances. Evangelical busybodies, putting their noses into the spiritual choices of others.

I guess the same reason Christians go to forums for other beliefs and try to convert people. Just a guess
