Do atheists EVER try to tell others what is right or wrong?

Question

Isn't that "judging" others?

Answer 1

Jay Dee atheists trying to tell others what is right or wrong is not new, they were spoken about by Jesus himself. Jude (and others ) talk about those without fear of the Lord (because they have given themselves up to the world) who creep-in and put judgment upon Christians by their artful seduction of lies or outright scoffing at their ludicrousness "turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness".

BUT alas even their judgment is part of God's plan to be used for His valuable end: to test personal faith, as an invitation to earnestly and publicly standfast to the truth, and by manifesting His Wisdom and Power and Grace .

BTW, JayDee you do work in a lab, right?

Answer 2

That is a crazy question. Of course we do. Everyone does at some time or another.
No it is not ''judging '' others. The whole idea of judgement is in relation to god and judging whether or not someone is saved, redemmed,on gods side etc. I don't believe in god so I do not make these judgements. I judge who I want to be around and who I do not.
Have you not ever told a friend or relative or co-worker when they do something wrong? Good grief

Answer 3

specific. I do each and every of the time. Assuming which you mean morally incredible or incorrect, right this is an occasion (under) - a topic wherein a believer has perplexed ethical with immoral, and that i've got suggested her undesirable habit. And endless circumstances i've got suggested to believers that they are mendacity, and asked them why they do no longer seem to entice the obtrusive end from the indisputable fact that they might desire to lie plenty to guard their ideals. specific, i'm judging others. needless to say. i'm especially good at it, too. you will word that throughout the time of contrast to a marvelous form of the believers right here, i do no longer deceive help my judgments. That dogged honesty ought to count quantity for something. i think that it does. Are you assuming that atheists must be "workstation"? we don't. I have not have been given any activity in pretending that incredible and incorrect are equivalent, from now on than i think of that actual and fake are equivalent. it is not atheists' fault once you're perplexed approximately the thank you to decide human beings. i might think of that straight forward honesty may well be a especially good beginning concept, and the indisputable fact that this form of good form of Christians tend to think of in any different case needless to say shows that the fault lies with the believers, no longer the nonbelievers. as long as believers carry such unfastened ethical criteria, they are going to discover themselves judged harshly with the aid of those people who've a more advantageous experience of morality.

Answer 4

PEOPLE tell others what is right or wrong. Religious beliefs have nothing to do with it.

Atheists have a very strong sense of right and wrong that is inherent and doesn't come from a book. Religious folks have their book to guide them and it contains rules to live by.

So we all feel the need, occasionally, to tell others what we believe is right and wrong. Yes, it's judging, if that's what you want to call it. Some call it concern for our fellow humans, be it body or soul.

Answer 5

Yes, they do tell other people what is right or wrong. These people are called "children".

Other times atheist find themselves in charge of group where they must tell people what to do, such as the military.

Other than that, most atheists are pretty quiet, and let other people find out what works for them, morally and spiritually. It's unfortunate that other groups do not operate on this principle.

Answer 6

Of course, ya can tell another if they are 'right' or 'wrong'. They are only perceptions based upon was is being held as true.

Its the ICKIE side of christians that take a step further, saying that others will go to hell for being 'wrong'.

Answer 7

I fail to see how someone's lack of faith in a deity has any effect on right or wrong. The very concepts are societal, and cultural. There is no 'universal morality'.

Answer 8

That's a strange attitude Lab Rat.

I'm sure atheists have some absolute moral sense of right and wrong.

Answer 9

Have you been reading the answers? Yes, they always try to tell us what is wrong or right in their opinion...just as we Christians do to them.

Answer 10

Morally, no. We don't believe in sin...so would never judge along those lines. But if anyone says something that is not true, I will say if they are right or wrong.
