Anyone else a bit pissed off about all the stick athiests are getting on here every time they bring up something that questions faith? Were not saying your wrong if you believe in God, just having a nice discussion!

I guess I must have seen a bad lot of questions, it just seems a bit of a contradiction to belong to a faith that promotes good will and love, but tell someone theyre gunna rot in hell just becuase they dont believe in god.

A good discussion would be refreshing. Unfortunately, there are some people who can't stand being the only ones who know what's right, and they just have to straighten out the rest of us.
A lot of them call themselves Christians (which really embarasses real Christians).
Some are Jews that have been taught to despise Christians, (but I don't think they represent most Jews, thank God.)
And a whole lot are people who are just full of hate and enjoy mocking the things that other people believe.
Here's where I'm coming from......I believe that all of you have the right to choose for yourself. And as long as you sincerily believe in something, I will not mock you for your faith, even if I disagree with it.
But when your faith requires you to mock my faith, I don't have to tolorate it.
Fair enough?

Seems to be and what Ive observed the ones who really get ticked off when "god" is questioned are those that profess Christianity.
Frankly, to each his own. If it makes you happy and at peace then so be it. Stop trying to down those who dont believe quite as you. Thats something I know the Bible very much says is a "no no". Judge not that ye be not judged.
As humans, it can be hard to do but just because someone doesnt believe in YOUR "god" doesnt make them bad or a sinner or worthy of condemnation.
Lesson everyone could remember.

I have always wondered this about "certain" Christians.
I have seen REPEATED posts of Christians saying, "God cannot be questioned!" or "Stop trying to judge God, God is above all human judgement."
But when a Christian wants someone from another faith to convert, they ask them to question and doubt the validity of their beliefs and to also question the Diety they worship.
How come, the same approach cannot be used with the Christian beliefs and Diety? Why when you question or doubt it, you are told, it is a sin or wrong to do so? Or you get offended when it is YOUR Diety or scriptures being questioned? Isn't that a bit unfair?
If we are to use that process to decide which faith to reject, why can't we use that same process to decide which faith to follow?
If we cannot use our God given faculties to weigh the differencesare we to know we are not just following another according to some Christians "false religion or false God" if we cannot judge and question YOUR God and his actions and what you say are his words?

I ask God questions all the time....and sometimes, things that are very "sticky too!" He has never condemned me for it..although He has answered them...and now, i am less ignorant than i used to be..."What a concept!" "Peace!" :)
