Look how MOST of them answered, and how they ignored that I said SOME. See how you guys condemn yourselves? Guys, mere insults, accusations, those are not evidence, not is the force of your hate. Grow up already, think scientifically. You know what science is right? You know what science is right? You love to use it against Christians all the time, talking about it but apparently not knowing what it actually is (and interestingly it was Christians who invented modern science, but of course you knew that too, right?).

Come on, out with your ole standard ranting and insulting tactics. Come on, make your false reports, that's all you can do. That's atheism for you.

Answer 1

Kyle is displaying his renowned persecution complex and vast intellect once again. Well, at least the sermons are shorter. For now...

Answer 2

Oh great, here we go again. You must be new here.

You know it wouldn't take much more searching to find a question where all the answers from Christians were rude, short-sighted and condemning. In fact, you'll find just as many if not more. Or a question where all Muslims answered in "mere insults, accusations."

The bottom line is that this is a fast-paced forum (which means it's hard to moderate it, and answers don't stay in view for more than 10 minutes), in a Q&A format (which means it's not set up for "discussion"), it's on a very touchy subject (religion), and it's on the internet (which means you have people trolling, hiding behind anonymity, etc.). So of course things are going to get nasty on occasion. You think THIS place is bad? You obviously have never used usenet.

And most importantly, you can't expect one measley thread on some randon internet forum to represent an entire group.

Answer 3

I don't use anything but reason. If someone doesn't want to hear it then they don't have to. I am open to the possibility that i could be wrong and not many theists can say the same thing. I am amazed that you would start out a question by trying to offend people and then get mad when they respond.

"What shameful shameful hatred you are filled with, what shameful chidlish stupidity. Grow up already unless you want to remain children of Hell forever. "

Can you explain to me how this is in line with the idea of brotherly love and open mindedness. Maybe the world would be a better place if you let god do the judging and tried to be more accepting of other people. I think that's the "Christ" like thing to do.

Answer 4

I fail to see how a belief in God or a lack of belief in God has turned anyone toward or against peace or intelligence. It seems that people have their personality styles and then at times use their philosophical stance to justify their own patterns of behavior.

Your behavior could hardly be called exemplary of Christians, and I wouldn't go so far as to say that I expect all atheists to behave as I do.

So I don't think you've analyzed your data very well. As a matter of fact, if you replaced the term atheists with the term Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, etc., then you would reach the same illogical conclusions. So your logic seems to condemn the entire human race.

Answer 5

I wouldn't dream of reporting you because I think everyone should have the opportunity to read you views and make up their own minds about what you say. Just as I have.

Your views have done little to convert me to being a Christian because I believe your arguments are irrational and completely false.

You have prolonged this rant over three questions now, so I think you have had a good stab at making your point.

Answer 6

That is really insulting to lump me into the category of hateful people just because I am atheist. I can lump you into the category of hateful people for you being religious, but that would be inaccurate.

I am not religious yet I am accepting and understanding of all people. I do not appreciate those hateful atheists that you pointed out, but I can understand them, just like I can understand Christians who say "EVEN JESUS DOESN'T LOVE YOU F@GS!" I am tolerant and forgiving, I believe that everyone can change.

You can point out all the disrespectful people you find, and I'll point out all the respectful people I find. If you hate, you will not be able to live life to the fullest. You must focus on love and loving, not finding ways to put others down.

Answer 7

I wish people wouldn't assume that because some individuals in a group are immature, every single one is. I know that although some christians are homophobic, but i don't judge other christians on their wrong actions.

Sometimes atheists get frustrated because the answer seems so obvious and yet religious people still deny it. In the end it is up to what you want to believe.

Answer 8

I was raised a Catholic and cannot stand the religion. It's hateful if you ask me. Anyway, my niece was raised in Catholic school in her early grade school years and because of the way she was treated, she no longer believes in God. I believe in God 100% but it makes me sad that my niece feels otherwise. I don't bash her for her beliefs and she doesn't bash anyone for believing. Seems to me you have stirred the pot, just like the atheists supposedly did, and that makes you just the same! Take advice from my 14 year old niece and stop judging others because they DON'T believe. I don't have that right either. No one does. It's a stupid fight and no one can convince another to believe or not to.

Answer 9

i'd really like to help, but you are spinning rapidly out of control-i can't make heads or tails out of your links to links to profiles to questions and back to links...i'm GUESSING you have gotten one too many dismissive or insulting answers, and been reported unfairly...okay, i get that...but you really need to consider logging off, taking a walk to 'cool down', maybe read a book or something, and get some perspective-it's JUST Y/A...you are not being assaulted-the most that can happen to you is an insult or a hundred...it happens to just about everyone here...chill-you can't control the actions of others, but only you can control your REACTIONS...try to remember why you are here in the first place...

Answer 10

Did the rant make the christian feel better? *wipes away the tears* Now for the real world, I think that false reports is more for some (notice I said some) christians.
