Atheists seems to think Christians are judging people rather than SIn?

Question

Atheists do not judge I assume because they believe there is no right nor wrong everyone can do what they want as long as it does not harm another person....

People of faith never gloat how perfect they are in fact they are proably the ones who are harder on themselves more than anyone because the walk with GOD is a daily struggle (Good and Evil) when my posts start becoming a bit more challenging bigoted as some say is when I feel myself letting my human sinful spirit block out the PEace that only comes from GOD.

When there is no right or wrong then there is no struggle you can be a jerk you can be nice you can be selfish you can be kind you can be a liar or you can tell the truth, because your life and destiny is up to you, but when you have a purpose beyond a human exsistence you do find struggle you do find right and wrong
and you do find Perfection is not attainable but forgiveness is and that is the humility that atheists do not understand
Isn't it?

Anyone that is unsaved can't see or understand

Answer 2

See ,first you say: "as long as it does not harm another person" and then you go on and say "you can be a jerk you can be selfish you can be a liar" - all these things hurt people.

I don't see very many humble Christians on this site.
If I had to describe it I would say 30% bloated windbags, 30% severely delusional paranoiacs, 20% hardcore inbreds, 10% angry ranters, and 10% reasonable people. Pretty much the same odds I give the rest of humanity.

Answer 3

This is kind of confusing, but I will answer as best as I can. I am neither Christian or Athiest, however, I believe both religions judge others. I think most people of the Christian religion are very judgemental people. People of the Christian religion tend to believe everything they do is what Jesus would have wanted. Every Christian I have ever known has judged other religions. I have never met a Christian who approved of a Muslim or Jew without hateful words. I have never met a Christian who approved of different sexuality, etc. etc.

Overall, I believe God would have wanted us to accept everybody for who they are. He created everyone so differently, and so beautifully, but there are so many hateful people in the world. Since God created these people to believe in what they believe, what right do WE have to judge them?! We are just mediocre beings. If there is a God, He would want everybody to live the life He granted us happily. Not in shame of their religion, sexuality, etc. We should accept the people He made.

Answer 4

"I assume because they believe there is no right nor wrong..."

I believe in right and wrong. I make my decisions of right and wrong based on a moral philosophy similar to rule utilitarianism, which has been extensively studied over the last 200 years. Basically, a right action is that which maximizes happiness while simultaneously minimizing sorrow. I don't need God to tell me what is right and wrong. I'm not rude to people because that increases sorrow.

The reason I don't judge other people is because I don't have all the facts, except in rare cases. Making such a judgment without a full understanding of their situation would in those cases be premature.

Since I believe in right and wrong, the rest of your rant doesn't apply.

Answer 5

Atheists do understand the humility of which you speak. I think it's more the hypocrisy and intolerance of some religious people than anything else. Some Christians do not practice what they preach. They preach kindness and compassion, yet you might find them gossiping and badmouthing others. They preach monogamy, then you find out they've had an affair. Things like this. Forgiveness is great and everyone makes mistakes, but preaching it and judging it and then turning around and doing that same thing yourself is ridiculous.

Answer 6

Atheists do understand and know the difference between right and wrong. There are rules in all societies which are very similar whether the society believes in gods or not. You don't need a mythical sky pixie to tell you that certain behaviour is inappropriate or just plain wrong.

Atheists have no belief in gods. That's it, that is what it means. There are many different gods out there, Christians believe in some of them, Moslems believe in others, Hindus believe in even more, atheists believe in none. No matter what gods you do or don't believe in, you know the difference between right and wrong, it is part of society not part of religion.

Answer 7

When someone tells you flat out," You are going to Hell" how is that judging sin and snot people?

When Christians live with boyfriends without marriage and have children out of wedlock how is that struggling with sin? It is a down right cave in if you ask me. The Christians atheists gripe about are like this maybe no that extreme but still they sin willfully and claim to just be a saved sinner.

Answer 8

I find the argument of sin a bit much.
You're using the sin to criticise the person.
Nowhere in the ten commandments does it say "thou shalt not lay down with a man".
This homosexuality thing is so dumb. If you're so fond of Leviticus, why not enforce all the rules within your little gated community? Bit too inconvenient?
I admire the Amish for their authenticity and for striving to keep more truly to the bible, even if I don't believe in their faith. And the Amish don't try to criminalise everyone else's faith either.

Answer 9

As a Christian, I feel it is not my place to judge them or their sin, because I'm a sinner , too. I try not to sin, but I fall flat on my face sometimes.

When I was younger, I was searching for answers, too. I was away from the Lord for a long time. My search led me back to Him. I have peace and joy in my life now.

Whether you believe in Jesus or not, He still loves you.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Answer 10

Your whole post could make sense if you didn't make the assumption that only people who have "found God" have an idea of right and wrong. Atheists can have the same idea, just without bringing a deity into the picture.

How many $^#&$(^#*( times do people need to explain this?!?!?!?

Answer 11

Your faith actually tells you not to judge at all. So yeah!

I make choices based on the golden rule. I want others to treat me well so I treat others that way. I'm very well respected and liked. I get along with nearly everyone. This isn't something you'll find if a person is not moral.
