Is it because the bible says in Matthew 24 verse 9 that they will be angry?

I guess I did lump all athiests together it just seems like most are angry. Sorry to those who aren't. I guess mostly I was asking one particular Angry Athiest. I wish other christians would also realize that God does give free you all free will.

Glitter kittyy and Mr. Taco (what the hell is a perfectly edible taco doing hiding from me in someones name-i will hunt it down after i answer this question). We atheists (Christians all around the country shudder as the word is typed) are in general happy people, but we don't like stubborn Christians (just keepin it real like that other dude said) trying to force their ways upon us. We think you have idiotic beliefs, but do we try to convert you to atheism-HELL NO! If you think we do, ok, there's probably a few atheist nut jobs out there, so sorry about them. We atheists just want to believe what we do and be left alone. As someone most eloquently put it: "i know that i am right and they (atheists) know that they are right. It is a vicious cycle until we agree to disagree." If you still think atheists are evil and angry let me ask you this: Why are atheists more excepting of agnostics than Christians and other believers of God. And no offense, but maybe that's because agnostics aren't imposing of their views and shut the f*** up. See atheists can censor their anger while religious nutjobs (dunno if you are or not) just straight up cuss you out. Ya, that's a real "Christian" thing to do. The way i see it there are two options. The first one is good for everyone, the second is bad for everyone.

1. Christians and atheists (see you get capitalization, we don't, shows you how tolerant of us you are) while disagreeing and admittedly having some hate for each other, basically let each other have their own beliefs left alone.

2. Christians and other believers in God (and i have already admitted that some atheists do this to) try to impose their religion and beliefs upon others and the others get upset and take the imposers "good Christian (i know not all are christian but many are) values" and their "Lord and savior Jesus Christ" and shove them deep up their @$$es. Correct me if i am wrong, but i believe that option #1 is more agreeable for both parties. I hope this answers your question (even though your bound to at least disagree little and most likely a lot with it).

Well i am glad you admit that you were stereotyping and that is a hell of a lot better than other Christians, so i commend you good job. However, (and trust me overall, just doing that was more than i expected from you, so this isn't like one of those you did pretty good but i'm still going to have to kill you things) it has to be "God" that is providing us with our free will. This is in my expert opinion (NOT EXPERT, but that's what all the psychologists and other people that 90% of the time end up being retards say) your subconcious inability to give into the fact that (****, i already sound like a psychologist) you have been stereotyping and perhaps trying to unfairly bestow your values (but you don't sound like one of those imposing values f***heads, but the stereotyping part fits) on atheists or other religious groups. All i'm saying is do you know understand where the hate comes from? Even when admitting wrong, (and yes as i've said like 20 times that atheist can be sh*theads too) Christians still can't be completely fair. I thought the concensus was option 1 was better, so why head for option 2 like that? See, again i don't jump all over you for one thing/mistake i see as complete %@$#@#% (don't know what word that's supposed to represent but it must be pretty bad.) Atheists (most that is) are perfectly fair and Christians should be too. My agnostic example was bad so here's a better one: Why do Christians attack Jews or Muslims for example who are a hell of a lot closer to their beliefs than to atheists, and yet atheists do not?

So to recap today's lesson:

1. Most of the hate that atheists have is for good reason and no one should hate on others for religious purposes.

2. I hate Sauerkraut. Do hate on others if they don't like Sauerkraut. Remember i said religious purposes not Sauerkrautical (is that right? Sauerkrautical?) purposes. MUHAHAHA!

And that's all i have to say. Until next time, i'm Jeremy Schaap, ESPN. And he's Jewish (oh no! scary), except hopefully not cause i didn't type (i'm gonna guess) 1,000 words for nothing.

Aloha l-o-d-tiger,

You ask a valid question. My guess is because Christianity condemns 4.5 BILLION of the earth's population to eternity in the fiery pits of hell for not believing their fantasy.

The piety of "having a personal relationship with Christ" ... is alien to the New Testament... [but] evangelicals elevate it to the shibboleth of salvation! Unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus, buster, one day you will be boiling in Hell. Sheesh! Talk about the fury of a personal savior scorned!
— Robert M. Price,

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you.
— George Carlin

Time and again Christians insist that atheists are angry, and time and again, we atheists insist we are not angry.

Are you aware that atheists often view Christians as having a persecution complex? It is generally impossible to offer honest constructive criticism to a Christian without them feeling persecuted. Perhaps it is your persecution complex that causes you to interpret criticism as anger?

I honestly think neither knows the mind of the other and never will. The realm of the believer is subjective (spiritual) experience. The realm of the atheist is objective (physical) reality. The disciplines two are mutually exclusive and always will be.

Why do you believe that all athiests are angry? Athiest or not, when someone tries to get you to do something you do not want to do, it will anger you, period. People need to stop trying to to force feed their beliefs on others because if it is about "free will", then let people believe what they want, even if you do not believe it is right.

What kind of BS question is this? Atheist's aren't angry, they're just fed up with christians shoving their beliefs down their throats. It's disrespectful, and i'm sure "god" didn't want it that way.

You only think we're angry because either someone told you atheists are angry or you think anyone who disagrees with you is angry.

I'm very happy, more happy than I ever was believing in such a bloodthirsty, cruel and angry god.

I'm not angry about anything. But many Christians seem to be angry at me for not believing-I get these barely literate hate mails on a daily basis. It doesn't upset me, though. Mostly I find it hilarious :)

No!!!

We are angry only when some members of some groups tell us:

that we are bad,
that we are going to hell,
that the only way to be good is to do exactly what they say,
that we are fools,
that we have to follow their rules,
that we have to teach their beliefs in our science classes,
and that we have to go certain kinds of medical research because they find it objectionable.

Other than that we are not angry at all.

Probably the same reason religious people are angry, you have obviously introduced yourself to the wrong people, or are intent to connect religion with everything negative!?

I was fine. Then someone suggested that every atheist in the world is angry right now.
