Why do atheists get mad when they're corrected on Bible/spiritual matters?

Answer 1

lol

look, some of them even gets angry when you told them that they get angry...


Ah well, seriously, a lot of Atheists go misquoting the Bible saying things like: "see, there are a lot of controversies" or "see it says its OK to mistreat your wife" and other things that simply aren't true. Than you ask them to see what the context is and they think you're just making stuff up to fit your own beliefs (again its not true). Its a complicated book (most Christians are aware it is 2000 years old and more), still we believe it to be the word of God. And some atheists here on R&S do not have the open mind to view interpretations different than the "oh God is evil and mean" interpretation, that are much more reasonable and historically acurate

Answer 2

I have yet to see an atheist be CORRECTLY corrected on Biblical/spiritual matters. Most atheists know more about the Bible than the people who are supposed to be following it.
The only time I've seen believers try to correct atheists on a matter involving the Bible, the believer has completely taken the quote out of context, or re-interpreted it to the point where the original meaning is completely lost. And they think they're doing their religion a favor in doing so.
I never recommend that a believer challenge an atheist on the subject of the Bible, because I've never seen a believer win the argument.

Answer 3

1. Could care less about the Bible; I only know the basics about it, that is all I want to know, as otherwise, my life is shortened by the amount of time wasted in learning more about an essentially worthless, baseless text.
2. Anyone corrected in any fashion will feel as if they have been slighted, and thus get snippy in reply. I have yet to see an atheist who was corrected in such a fashion regarding spiritual (as compared to religious) matters, at least in a legitimate manner.

Answer 4

No one can ever correct me with bible/spiritual matters being that I never make claims about those 2 things. You can't disprove something I said when I said nothing.

Answer 5

I don't get mad. But then again I've yet to be corrected on Biblical/spiritual matters. (I guess my Doctorate in Divinity is worth something on R&S.)

Answer 6

You have your religious beliefs and that is good, for you. However you need to understand and respect that they are your beliefs, and for the majority of people do not apply. Not knowing your religion I feel confident is using the word majority, because everyone of us have belief that are in the minority.

Look at it objectively. How would you feel if your neighbor criticized the way you dress every morning you left your house?

Answer 7

Maybe they're frustrated that you corrected them with quotes from a book they don't believe in and called it fact. Just a guess. You didn't give any examples so there could be lots of reasons. You may even misunderstand them, thinking they're angry when they're not.

Answer 8

This question doesn't make sense. If an atheist gets a "factoid" from the Bible wrong, they shouldn't get mad...but do you mean atheists get mad because they don't believe what's in the Bible even though you know it to be true?

Answer 9

Why would we care if we're a bit off in regards to the Bible, it's not like we really read the thing. I didn't even read much of it when I was a Christian.

Born Atheist, what does that recommend? Born atheist. On one point, this is a literal fact. Atheism ability a loss of perception in deities. All infants are born without perception in deities, hence they are born atheist. yet religionists can factor to option dictionary definitions that say atheism ability a perception there are not any gods. That definition calls for cognition, previous the scope of maximum newborns. yet returned and forth arguments with reference to the definition of "atheist" forget approximately with reference to the wider implications of the term "born atheist." in simple terms as Nietzsche did no longer recommend "god is lifeless," to be taken actually–that a deity existed, he grew to become into mortal and he died; so too, the term "born atheist" has meaning previous its literal definition. First, "born atheist" is a fact of atheist satisfaction. people who use it are out, loud and proud atheists. further, "born atheist" means that atheism is a organic state. If all and sundry is born atheist, then faith is discovered and can be unlearned. people who use the term "born atheist" will in all likelihood be amused to hearken to faith defined as a social virus. finally, people who use the term "born atheist" are prepared to stand as much as the religious majority. Believing that atheism is a organic state and faith is a social virus, born atheists actively project the assumptions of the religious majority.
