Why do some atheists get so angry when Christians tell them about God?

I don’t know any Christians that get angry for atheists teaching them about what they believe.

Because we know it is hogwash and don't care to hear it.

Answer 2

Why do some Christians get angry when Mormons tell them about God ?

Both the Christians and the Atheists know the Mormons are deluded , but only the Atheist can see that all Faiths are deluded.

Answer 3

I like how people are saying they get mad at Christians for believing what a person who has studied and spent more time with God. Isn't that the logical thing to do? You take everything he says with a grain of salt, but you listen to what the 'experts' have to say on the issue. Any person can delve into religion if they want to, all the info. is there for them to. But since it involves a relationship with God, it can't be done quickly, it takes time. Wisdom isn't something you pick up right now because you want it.
My main point is, when an atheist or whoever believes whatever they hear from a scientist that is perfectly okay. It doesn't matter if a pastor went to 'bible school' and got a doctorate, the pastor doesn't know what he is talking about, but the scientist does? Not just in some cases or instances, but absolutely, every single time? In other words a scientist, as long as he believes in evolution, never makes a mistake, but if he dares to challenge the theory, even if he tries to challenge an experiment or evidence they use to support the theory, he is black-listed. It's okay to inquire into evolution and proof for it, but only if you have another way to interpret it postively for the theory. Seriously, it really sickens me whenever people fully believe whatever they hear scientists say. It's those same people who work for the FDA and produce a new drug that only kills a few thousand people and it has to be pulled back. They make plenty of mistakes, so if I am a bit skeptical, especially when evolution has flaws in its theory then gosh, I guess I'm an imbecile. Especially considering when there are literally thousands, if not millions of pieces of evidence that supports evolution, even though I never hear more than 10 at a time. Good day to you who believe in people who have fancy degrees, who think a person with a nice title knows more than the average mortal, who think anyone with the label of creationist is a fool. May you someday be unblinded from your blind faith in a bad science.

Answer 4

Most people including all of you probably don't like to be "told what to do" but would rather ask !!! and I am a 56 year long Jesus lover, but I don't want anyone stuffing another religion down my throat, Jesus didn't say stuff it down their throats and be rude, He said, make sure they know, but He never would have acted like a ton of Christians do towards atheists etc on here. Consider what you say to atheists etc. and ask first if Jesus would say it that way ? How many times do you want things stuffed down your throat, FREE WILL IS WHAT GOD GAVE US, AND EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH IT OR NOT, A MEAN APPROACH IS THE LAST THING JESUS WOULD ASK YOU TO GIVE. Think about the story of the woman at the well who said "I have no husband", Jesus didn't start jumping up and down and call her a liar, He just calmly and lovingly said "no, the man you are with now is not your husband and you've had 5 husbands" His emotions were calm and loving and accountable and she engaged the conversation. I am not saying we shouldn't let others know we love Jesus, just the opposite, but how would you like it as a Christian if every other religion was calling you or bothering you all the time telling you that Christians are wrong, free will, let them know you know Jesus, wear a Jesus pin and perhaps they may ask !!! And I have sinned on here when people blaspheme God, then my anger level rises, you can choose not to accept Him but you don't have to call Him awful names, can't we agree to disagree ? How did Jesus respond to the Pharisees, he didn't throw a temper tantrum , he said little and then let them decided

Answer 5

Everybody has their own beliefs and I respect that but don't try and change my mind and tell me there is a god and I am going to hell because I don't belief. I don't try and convert people to become Athiests so I don't need to be converted to Christainity or some other religion. I respect their views and so they should respect mine. There is only one way we know who was right and for me that isn't going to happen for another 50+ years and when that day comes I will be happy in the knowledge that I have enjoyed my life, treated others how I would like to be treated myself and smug in the knowledge that I have never had to suffer (lent, ramadan, circumcision, guilt etc) for something that I do not believe in but millions do. One of us is going to be right and I think it is me because there has never been absolute proof that the extraordinary claim there is a god or gods has been put forward. and I mean absolute extraordinary proof "Look at the beauty around you, how can you say god doesn't exist." this is not proof of any kind. I do not need to prove something doesn't exist, they need to prove that something that extraordinary exists. And don't get me started on the Bible....

Answer 6

Obviously, you don't live in the USA. I certainly know plenty of Christians who are very angry with all atheists in general and/or with a few atheists in particular. In Amerika, it's currently more dangerous to be a public atheist than it is to be openly gay.

As for why atheists become angry when Christians tell us about their superstitious beliefs -- we've heard it all before, hundreds of times, and it always ends with us being damned to an eternity burning in Hell. The blatant bigotry Christians peddle is superstitious hate speech, pure and evil. Since Christianity has failed utterly to prove the physical existence of its God, Christians have no legitimate authority when they piously condemn educated fellow American citizens to an eternity of torture.

I spent a third of my life getting the education I would need to spend half my life working very hard to advance the human condition and to improve the lives of my fellow human beings. When some snotty-nosed punk tells me I'm gonna burn in Hell for the "sin" of not being ignorant enough to endorse his Solipsistic superstitions, I do become angry. ...as every educated human being should.

Answer 7

I get annoyed at Christians who suddenly start preaching and how great everything is and how miracles would happen if I would only reconvert to worshipping him.

I was brought up as a CoE christian and personally i hated it constantly being shoved down my throat by strangers who demand i should do so.

My own mother leaves my beliefs alone, she allows me to choose my own religion (wiccan/pagan) and i am happy with this so why does others think its ok to push at me to what THEY think is right rather than what I think is right for myself.

I get wound up because I tell them I'm not interested and I know all the crap about it but still they push and its just so damn annoying.

Answer 8

If an atheists gets upset with me b/c of my answer to THEIR specific question about God, you can be sure I'll let them know it was they that asked me and should be open to my response otherwise I will not conversate further. But I believe in God and I understand the not wanting to hear loud preaching when I'm on the subway going home, it's ANNOYING and disturbs my reading time. The people quietly on the corner handing out JW pamphlets don't bother me at all b/c I just walk past them with a smile and an empty hand if I want.

Answer 9

Depends how they say it. Any sort of pre-emptive lecture is generally annoying, whether its on God, vegetarianism, or Star Trek. People don't like being lectured to. They also don't like having their own beliefs marginalized, which some Christians do. ("Atheism is wrong. Let Jesus save you.")

I've seen plenty of Christians get mad at atheists, but its generally the same kind of situation: the atheist presumes the Christian is only a Christian because he's an idiot. Strangely enough, people don't take that well.

Answer 10

I can only speak for myself personally. I am agnostic, not atheist but I don't want someone force feeding me their opinions or faith. I am an intelligent being, who has had many years to consider this subject. I still don't know and accept that I never will. Someone else telling me that something is so, is just irritating. I don't associate with closed minded people and that is just what religious people are.

Answer 11

'god bless you' to a sneeze for many folk is organic reflex, with none meaning. i don't carry this against all people. If I tell a chum who happens to be Christian that i'm having a rought time of life or want some thing, and my buddy essentially says, "hey, i'm going to wish for you..." I comprehend the teach of help it as meant as and that i'll kindly thank them. regardless of the shown fact that, if somebody shows out i'm an atheist, yells, "you are going to hell... i'm going to be praying for you..." Then i'd take it offensively. they don't seem to be praying for my betterment, they're sucking as much as the deity they have faith in hoping i'm going to get smited (smote?) by some potential. extraordinarily unchristian or the different faith for that sake. that is all approximately context. reliable will is met with reliable will. ill will is met with ill will.
