Follow up to a related Q :)
It's accepted, even expected and directed by the bible for Christians, so what if the atheists do this as well?
Would Christians be offended by this?????? How does the shoe being on the other foot feel?????

LOL at opinionated.
I'm trying to make a point about how annoying the whole spreading the "good news" thing is...at least, for me. I've had family do this and I'm not a fan.

WIRED: doing it in an online forum where you are anonymous is totally different. Christians do it here too. And Christians feel its ok to do it EVERYWHERE, but atheists do not do this. Atheists respect, in general, respect your right to do what you want, and Christians invade your space to tell you what you should believe. Please get off your victim trip.

WIRED: You're nuts! I am not saying I'm persecuted at all, what are you reading dude? I said, specifically, that the Christian practice is "annoying" and would Christians be annoyed, or offended, or welcoming to the same practice if atheists did it.
So, can you NOW get off your high horse?? And please don't try to out logic me - that sort of thing has never worked for Christians and it won't start working now. Enjoy your sabbath :-)

Good morning Sir. Have you ever heard about Charles Darwin?
He was a naturalist and he wrote these great books "The Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man". Could we have a minute of your time to talk about Darwin's message?

truly pushing faith in human beings's faces is against human rights and the form! what's greater the intolerance of refusing to settle for anothers proper to beleive what they're going to with out worry of persecution drives not in ordinary terms the non religious added away yet is using human beings out of the church homes with a view to not be linked with such attitudes! all the different religions and atheists stay in peace and are in ordinary terms attacked by undesirable christians which motives all good christians to melancholy on the wear they do! Up until approximately 40 years back Christianity became into thriving and there became into no conflict with others yet in merely those few short years the trendy christians have become illiberal, hate crammed, bigoted and persecuting ensuing in a turning out to be backlash against christianity and inflicting christianity to unfastened over ten % in below a decade with the loss accelerating! The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only element which could provide up it rather is to desert the unfavorable human thoughts, seek for to rediscover the assumption of a loving god and act like it!

I've noticed that many of the Atheists are just as Dogmatic as any Christian here, even going to questions and answering them with things as lame as, " There is no god." As if they knew.
So I am saying that they already are the pseudo religious people they complain about. They give links to Atheist sites as reliably as a Christian might hand out a tract, they repeat themselves endlessly, they think they are being logical when they are not, they act like they are born experts.

But Atheists DO proselytize! Many times I've been told things like: "Oh, come on! You can't really believe there's a God."
"Forget prayer! When you're dead, you're dead!"
"You just believe it because they put it in your head"
No, I wasn't offended, although I was startled by the man who screamed the above listed quote at me. He started off by yelling, "There is no God" the second he saw me. Before that, I had never seen him or spoken to him in my life.

I thought the atheists have been proselytizing in YA.
I read every day why not to believe in God.
Sometimes it sounds like a scratched record.

Yes. It scares me that so many people are so deluded. People need to learn to think for themselves instead of just blindly believing what they hear. If we can teach more people to think independently then I think we've done a good job.

The Christians are pretty offended by it in here... but there are atheists who like to preach a little.

Atheists should always express their views of logic for those who have not yet dropped religion in fear of criticism.
As far as just trying to "convert" people its a waste of time most of the time.

i believe people should have a freedom of religion but why are they teaching that God doesn't exsit he does. how do u think u came along . if u think we descend from monkeys (which i don't) than who created them and so on. They didn't just magically appear from nowhere. who created the universe and everything around us God did.

I wouldn't be offended at all. I thank God I live in a free country, where public discussion is encouraged. I have no insecurity about God's ability to protect those whom He has called, only sadness for those who refuse to hear Him.
