Answer 1

I have seen a great many Christians do the same to their questions. what was it "let he who is without Sin cast the first stone"

"judge not and you will not be judged, condemn not and you will not be condemned"

Answer 2

Insulting, or what a person finds insulting, can be construed any number of ways. Lumping all non-believers into a single ignorant pile can be construed as just as insulting as what some non-believers have done to you.

Also, despite the very logical basis of Christianity that Jesus attempted to infuse (by way of parable and metaphor) many Christians/believers tend to use the bible very illogically and irrationally, using passages and contexts in whatever fashion suits their particular agenda, even if said opinion is not even in keeping with the supposed faith they are meant to be conveying.

This post, for example, does not keep in the spirit of "turn the other cheek" or "when a man steals your wallet, offer him your cloak" so when a non-believer mocks a Christian for not being able to follow the very basic precepts of a religion to which they willingly follow, some responses can be very easily understood to be insulting, and rightly should be. Jesus revealed his strongest criticisms towards hypocrites, especially those meant to lead.

Answer 3

I think the mocking happens because of the frustration some of the non believers feel- its similar to seeing someone walk off a cliff.

You know its foolish, i know its foolish, but they (believers) just don't get it!

Its like you know that they're making a wrong choice and being foolish and you cant stop them, and you try and you try, but its like hitting your head on a wall that just doesn't give. You eventually feel link this person is a mindless drone. Some give up, some reduce their attempts to poking the person repeatedly (i.e. mocking)


Does this description sound familiar to you? This might be how you feel about non believers. That they are the ones walking off cliffs and you are the ones trying to stop them.

Same thing. except that you guys have a lesser sense of humor about it.

Lovely how humans are isn't it?

Peace.

P.S. You have to admit i sound pretty darn intelligent ;)

P.S. again- Congrats ' mom again ', all differences aside, Cheers to you and your family.

Answer 4

I'm a non believer and the phrase "can't answer one question with an intelligent answer without being insulting" is probably a good place to start. So many mock for the same reason you generalize us as being unintelligent and immoral. If people simply accepted each others beliefs, there wouldn't be a problem.

Answer 5

And with the insult is a false accusation.

Who is the false accuser & slanderer since the beginning of time?

I challenge all those non believers or self righteous out there. In all things give thanks because this pleases God.

Especially this Thanksgiving day. God bless your day sooo special. That you recognize all the things to be thankful for.

Today my husband is sick, so I can't share Thanksgiving with my family back at my childhood home town. But then my Thansgiving prayer thanks is that "Thank you Lord that my husband is making the right decision to quit the alcohol before it is too late!". Also that my daugter (pregnant & working four 12hr days this Thanksgiving) will have many Winged hospital angels to help all patients able to do more & be healed above their expectations (to not overburden my daughter in her final month of pregnancy & a special Thanksgiving blessing for the patients & other doctors, nurses, etc.). That all patients will give thanks to the Lord for the extra Angel help in the hospital. For He is able to abundantly above all we can imagine, ask for or think.

Answer 6

Hello,

Well I see no problem in mocking people so long as they can also take it themselves. I have seen some of those who make insulting questions squeal like hogs and rat out their opponents to the moderator when they are taken down a peg or two.

Cheers,

Answer 7

Since George W Bush has become president by selection (NOT election) people have become more divided, more divisive, more hatefull and less tolerant, less accepting and more fear-oriented. People on this Yahoo forum are only expressing the frustration and disappointment they feel each day knowing that things are getting worse instead of better and they're looking for someone to blame. Unfortunately, Bush is to blame for all of it, and yet when you're answering a question from the "R&S" catagory politics is not supposed to be part of the answer. Nevertheless, the answer to your question is: there has been a deliberate wedge driven in between people of different faiths, beliefs and unbeliefs by the political atmosphere generated intentionally by GEORGE BUSH for the purpose of dividing and conquring the hearts and minds of an otherwise united country that has always held the belief that people are entitiled to their opinions. We used to say, "I may disagree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death your right to say it." Well, thanks to GEORGE W BUSH, nobody says THAT anymore. Now we say, "I disagree with you and I will insult you until you shut up!" That's the new America we live in now. Our enemy is not each other. Our enemy is not religious people or atheists. OUR ENEMY IS GEORGE W BUSH AND NEOCONS.

Answer 8

non-believers can answer a question without mocking. Why are Christians so thin skinned that they think any doubt of their religion is mocking? And just tell me why 'born-again
christians think they have the right to MOCK those people who don't believe? Shouldn't it be a bit of tender mercy???

Answer 9

Unfortunatly its a human element. I'm a christian but I have to be honest. I have seen christians act the same way. When christians don't act Christ like, it opens the doors to (comin back at ya)

Answer 10

Um, I've seen a lot of non-Christians actually give serious and intelligent answers to Christians about various topics.
However, if the Christians are going to be insulted by serious and intelligent answers, then that's not anybody else's problem.

Answer 11

I've always answered in a civil manner unless I've had reason to respond to a Christian displaying aggressive behaviour.

There are some that are bombastic you know and I don't see why I should be civil to people like that.
