Christians, What do you really think when someone says they are an Atheist? What are some of the things that pop into your head?

A true christian would not judge, however, there'll be a few who go on a mission and become real nuisances.

I don't think we can judge Atheiist or Christians by the worst examples. I really think that we're all barbarians and the name we call ourselves is almost irrelevant, but that's just me. If we we're all that we can be, the differences would be almost and arguement over words. A rose by any other name. In Hebrew a name was a persons qualities. Arguing about words is spoken against in scriptures. It's not finally the names, it's about, but the values, character, Intelligence, love, truth. That can almost be said to be God.. So close. We're all in the image of God, if we live up to the standards. Cyrus, a pagan, prefigured Christ. He was called the annointed of God. That means he had the spirit of God. He failed to be all he could be, but sometimes so do the best Christians and Atheists. When we get to that level we can quibble about words, but the letter kills anyway,but the spirit or heart of the matter gives life. Are we proud of ourseves in relation to the best we can find? Or am I a lawyer? What we constantly look at in affect we become. I ask, do I want those qualities. I'll take a good quality where I can find it and appreciate the person for it. It's like not being prejudiced or partial. "God is not partial." I wouln't want to take on judging whose who, no matter the words. We don't have a pure language yet anyway. Can anyone say they know it all and there's no more to learn?

That I don't, and never will, understand them. Beyond that I don't really give them much thought, except maybe what words I might use to make them at least consider the truth. Haven't found such words yet and I doubt I ever will.

According to Sir Stephen Henry Roberts (1901-1971), we are all atheists.
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
- Sir Stephen Henry Roberts (1901-1971)

Save him?
I'm not that type of Christan, that just seemed obvious. Be or be assimilated, hence the Borg. Star-treks not so hidden attempt at explaining organized religion.

A bit sad, you cant help to be when you know the out come, however aside from their religious affiliation, they are just another person, that is until they start on me about how my beliefs are wrong, then it's personal. :-)

Not a whole lot ... not much more than pops into my head when I meet ANY one. God is real to me, so I think, it's unfortunate that they don't know God, and think I'm a nut. But other than that... nothing.

I love them. Atheists. Muslims. Hindus. Black, white, French, heterosexual, homosexual, liars, cheaters, child molesters and.....well, you get the idea.
THEY ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN.
Now, what follows "I love them" ranges from righteous anger to sympathy to pity....I mourn that they sin, that they refuse to know the God who loves them so deeply that someday they will fall on their faces before Him and weep for the Truth, that they hurt others, that they don't know and love the Truth....
And I know that I am no better than any of them; I just made a different choice.

Smart
Cult-free
Wow, I wish I could get out of this crazy cult and be like them!
Huh, if I was an atheist too I could be out fishin' instead of wasting people's time on such a beautiful Saturday afternoon trying to spread the cult's teachings.
Damn, if my parents were atheists maybe I would have never met Father Bob who used to like to diddle me in my alter boy robes and make me sit on his lap whenever he put a pickle in his pocket. Wow that was really weird! And where DID that pickle go? It just seemed to always melt in his pocket. Wow that Father Bob was really kinda strange.
