Im confused...

Because if they dont believe then they should just feel NUETRAL with what the theists are saying and not feel DEFENSIVE.

Sigh.
Pretending not to notice believers' bad behavior is dishonest of you.

There seems to be an endless supply of believers who think that they can spout this kind of nonsense without getting caught. Or is it that you just don't care about honesty and your personal reputation?

I have never seen anything that was proven to be the word of god. Perhaps it is the religious people who might want to consider being neutral. Atheists don't believe in god. Theists do believe in god. Why do you put the burden of proof on the Atheists? Theists are the ones making the outrageous claims.

THIS is a GOOD question. Someone finally addressing the belief of an atheist! It is not that they DON'T believe in God, they don't believe in the CONCEPT.
Break it down
Theist is a person who believes in the concepts of the Word
ATheist is a person who does not subscribe to a biblical theory.
What people here are calling Atheists are actually NONtheists, who have a absence of belief in dieties.
I tend to think of an atheist as being more of a skeptic. They usually require PROOF before they believe. Not that they don't, they just want to know that they know!

"while i became right into a baby I spoke as a baby I understood as a baby i theory as a baby; yet as quickly as I grew to grow to be a guy I placed away infantile issues." I Cor. xiii. 11. Why is it so annoying which you would be able to stay with the thought that different individuals have confidence in a distinctive thank you to your self? Are you yet yet another that has abandoned christianity and the perception in a loving god for the excitement of being anti atheist and indulging in all that undesirable human emotion against your fellow guy? What do you human beings call your new faith?

Excuse me, but when I am told that I don't exist and that I'm going to hell and I see "In God We Trust" on my hard-earned money and "one nation under god" is in the pledge of alleigance and homosexuals are denied their human rights on the basis of religious dogma, then I feel a bit defensive. When that stuff goes away, then maybe I can be neutral.

And for me it's both. I don't believe in a god, and I don't agree with the laws and morals written in the bible.

I just love how you presuppose the existance of something you cannot prove actually exists

atheists lack a belief in all gods

what you claim your god says is irrelevant to atheism because you have no way of proving it to be true. However in an effort to point out how ridiculous your religion is we bring up errors in your religious book

i really don't get whats so difficult to understand about this.

We don't believe in any gods. Consequently, we disagree with any document claiming that a god exists.
And where's the logic to back up the assertion that if someone disagrees with you, you should feel 'nuetral' about everything they say?

I don't believe and wouldn't care except for the actions of some "Worldly Christians". (I always thought Christians were supposed to avoid worldly things and stay out of politics, etc.)

"If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him…. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." [1 John 15, 17]

"Therefore I command you to do as I believe you are willing to do, that you free yourself from worldly affairs (Old English: woruldðinga) as often as you can, so that wherever you can establish that wisdom that God gave you, you establish it. Consider what punishments befell us in this world when we neither loved wisdom at all ourselves, nor transmitted it to other men; we had the name alone that we were Christians, and very few had the practices." - Alfred the Great of England (d. 899) in "Preface to the Cura Pastoralis".

As long as "Worldly Christians" keep trying to impose their beliefs, lifestyle, etc. on me, I will not "remain neutral" (note correct spelling).

I don't believe that God exists.

As for feeling defensive - suppose I called your mother a prostitute, claimed your sister performed several explicit acts with a variety of barnyard animals, accused you of necrophilia etc, do you not think that, even though it's not true, you would find the intent behind it offensive, and so you might get offended and/or argue back?

Atheists do not believe in the existence of any gods. There is no word of God.
The reason atheists express their viewpoints is because of the all pervasive nature of (especially) the Christian religion into our lives.
What affects us is of great importance and we have a right to defend ourselves from religious iniquity and the attempts to force religion into schools and elsewhere where it is not wanted.

There are two "kinds" of athiesm. One just is "neutral" and doesn't deny that there is a god, he just doesnt believe in god. And then there are the liberal athiests, they dont believe in any "supernatural" being.
