Why do Atheists say Christians contradict each other?

Question

When it's the atheists that are wandering around in a religious section of the internet, but you say Christians contradict ourselves? Atheists also say Christians are hypocrites, but meanwhile atheists and skeptics are talking about God in a religion area.

Atheists call Christians delusional for talking to God, but meanwhile, it's the atheists that are in a religion section asking questions about a God they don't believe in.

Answer 1

that's good point. there are a LOT of judgmental atheist that say that Christians are very judgmental.

the funny part about it....they don't seem to get that they are not doing it. it's only Christians who judge and no one else.

also i get I'm very uneducated and closed minded because i don't share the same beliefs as others.

now you tell me...who is being judgmental?

Answer 2

Who's wandering? The only reason any atheist is here is because of the religious folks trying to force themselves on society (Ex. 10 commandments in government buildings). You are reaping what you have sown.

Yes, Christians contradict each other all of the time. Their beliefs are not uniform. Atheists aren't allowed to talk about religion? Well, la-di-da aren't you special.

Why do you ask questions about atheists in the R & S section? Hypocrite.

Answer 3

Christians say they are not judgemental, but assume that Atheists do not have religion, nor are interested in talking about religion.

I am Atheist. This means I do not believe in a God. It doesn't mean I don't follow a religion.
Also, religion is a highly interesting topic to nearly anyone who can be bothered to come here. It allows us to understand ourselves. Being here has allowed me, as an Atheist, to realise that there are no big differences between religions, and that generalisation is a very, very bad thing.

Answer 4

it is because they are trying to prove a point and are wondering why christians believe what they do when, as far as the atheists are concerned, they are wrong. this curiosity and wanting of other people to see their point is simply inherent human nature and isn't hypocritical or contradictory to their beliefs or lack thereof. some may also be looking for answers to questions that they may have about what exactly you believe in, not just why. and as for christians being hypocrites and contradicting themselves, i see what they are on about. christianity is supposed to be about love and acceptance, and yet so many christians are hate-mongering elitists. and of course, there are all the contradictions to be found in the christian bible as well... and the list goes on.

Answer 5

There's no hypocrisy here. I have a degree in world religions yet I do not belong to a religion. I STILL know a lot about religion. That doesn't mean I believe in a god or religion. I just know facts and religious history.

Someone who studies war history doesn't necessarily believe in war, they are just scholars.

Christians absolutely contradict themselves. "Thou Shall Not Kill" for example. But war is ok and executions on death row are ok and etc...

"Love thy neighbor" but not if they're gay or of a different religion, or none at all....

Answer 6

In my country we've had decades and decades of terrorism from scum who identified themselves as Protestant and Catholic killing each other and anyone who got in the way. The communities they lived in turned a blind eye and even backed the terrorists up on occasion. So don't tell me that Christians don't contradict each other. Infact, don't tell me that Christians aren't delusional.

We don't ask questions about God. We ask questions of believers, because we want to either challenge them, or find out what makes them believe, or even promote unity between ourselves and the more normal ones.

Answer 7

If Christian aren't contradictory, how can they have so many different sects when they read the same book?

As for the Atheist presence in this section, you don't have to believe in God to be interested in how people think on spiritual matters. I don't think there's any hypocrisy about that.

Answer 8

Actually we are trying to save you.

Your fear, need for approval and adherence to tradition cause you to overlook the harmful parts of your religion.

Most Atheists were at one time or another Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Buddhist etc... Most took an honest look at themselves and their beliefs and tried to justify them with evidence and doctrinal honesty.

For instance, as a Christian, I couldn't justify God's creation of Lucifer, or his change of heart about Gentiles in the NT after murdering so many in the OT. There are may doctrinal problems with Christianity that caused me to look at my belief and understand that I may have been wrong about the whole thing.

After doing that I realized that I had been purposefully ignoring education and understanding that the scientific community was providing us, because it made me question my faith.

Your religion causes you and millions like you, to ignore education, it causes families to split up, neighbors to squabble, and nations to war. There are some good things about your religion, a sence of community and peace that comes from the false hope in an afterlife. But overall religion has been bad for the human race.

I am hear to help you get out of your harmful thought patterns, not because I am a good person, but because I am a human and want a better life for my kids and eventually grandkids.

Helping religious people acknowledge the dangers inherent in religious believe will ultimately help my kids, so that hopefully they won't have to suffer through a 9/11 or a Spanish inquisition or a Bosnian genocide in the name of a God.

That is not hypocritical, it is essential.

Answer 9

"but meanwhile atheists and skeptics are talking about God in a religion area"

And what do you think is hypocritical about that?

I suspect that you don't know what the word "hypocritical" means. You're certainly not using it correctly here.

Answer 10

People also go see many movies that are fictional but that doesn't mean they believe it is real. It is not hypocritical if you are asking ABOUT something. Its called learning. More atheists are just open and want to learn about what other people believe in. You forget that it is also a SPIRITUAL forum too.

The Hebrew be conscious it relatively is utilized in Isaiah 40 4:22 (???, chug) does not in any respect propose a around earth. the basis be conscious in basic terms happens contained in the Hebrew Bible as quickly as as a verb (activity 26:10). In nominal varieties, an identical root happens 4 circumstances, 3 by using fact the noun ??? (chug; activity 22:14, Prov 8:27, Isa 40:22), and as quickly as by using fact the noun ??????? (mechugah; Isa 40 4:13). This term refers to a "circle device," a device used to make a circle, what we call a compass. Isaiah 40 4:13 refers to this "circle device." Isa 40 4:13 The wood worker stretches a line, marks it out with a stylus, fashions it with planes, and marks it with a compass; he makes it in human type, with human attractiveness, to be set up in a shrine. [NIV] The verbal kind of the be conscious actual skill "to make a circle" or "to scribe a circle." activity 26:10 He has defined a circle on the face of the waters, on the boundary between gentle and darkness. [NRSV] latest-day translators agree that this "scribing a circle" in terms of the international refers back to the horizon of the earth. NIV: He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between gentle and darkness. NLT: He created the horizon whilst he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night. GWT: He marks the horizon on the exterior of the water on the boundary the place gentle meets darkish.
