If you read my answer, youd see that i'm not christian. However i still think its slack how that get discriminated against.

Answer 1

It's the Atheist Mafia. They have a large and organized syndicate.

Answer 2

I'm an agnostic.

I do not hate Christians. As a rule I do not hate at all.

I do not like religion, I think it is poison.

I'm a moral person and my morals are the result of my humanity, not a scriptured dogma.

I do not post lies on this forum, and I do not make statements that I am not certain about. Therefore, when I post comments, I make sure people know that thumbs up means they agree with me, and thumbs down means that they are pissed off because they know I'm right.

Answer 3

I had a look over there; it seems everyone got thumbs down for some reason or other - I gave you a ‘thumbs down’ too – you sounded like a whiny fundie.
Agnostics are cowardly xians and xians are just cowards who live in FEAR of the realities of life and death without the security delusion of the invisible man in the sky ... which tautologically means that agnostics are just cowardly cowards.

Answer 4

Everybody seems to have gotten thumbs down. That is common here.
Wen this place still actually had trolls in it they used to have competitions to see how many thumb down points they could get on an answer.

Answer 5

The first guy who answered said he had no religion, and got 5 thumbs down vs 1 thumbs up.

Answer 6

EVERYONE gets thumbs-down on those kind of questions.

I think it's dumb. On those questions, I give thumbs-up to the people who share my religion, and leave everyone else alone.

When I see thumbs-down on questions like that, I can't help but wonder how insecure about their own beliefs the people who give thumbs-down for that are.

Answer 7

I don't mind. If I get a thumbs down for telling the truth, it's worth it. Besides, there are so many more questions to answer. Jesus said that the world hates us, so where's the surprise? I believed Him, so it's no shock to me. I would however like to thank you for asking the question, it might cause some fair-minded and logical people to question the motives of those who simply hate the God, Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

It's because we don't get "thumbs down" from God and most people don't like that about us.

2 Cor 2:14-16

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 15 For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.
(from New International Version)

Answer 9

Everybody had at least as many thumbs down as thumbs up, many with more thumbs down than thumbs up, regardless of their response.

Answer 10

Everyone who responded got thumbs down. I particularly enjoyed the cheese religion guy.

Answer 11

God said that we would get ridiculed for HIS honor!! The frequent "thumbs down" is to be expected!! Doesn't bother me any, because I am trying to do my part and explain what God wants from us as Christians....if those who don't believe don't want to listen...that's on them...my conscience is clear!! I still pray for people, no matter what!! ( :

God Bless!
