What do Christians and other religions REALLY think of atheists?
capt. I dont see where she said anything bad towards anyone.
That's because you haven't been around very long.
why do you try to turn what people say and make them think its bad ???
There's no turning involved... all I do is POINT IT OUT. And it usually IS bad.
My prayers are with you and hope that one day someone would help you in your misery.
...who said my life is miserable? Are you assuming because I'm not christian, that my life sucks?
...No one forced it on me and No one pushed it on me . See you all speak as if most push it on you and your right some try too , but that is not the way a True Christain is .
Well then, there are several 'false-christians' on this site that you can scold .
Just as last night all these people on here I prayed for the so many of the confussed and the non believers that they get their answers and that they find some peace in their hearts and lives . It is sad that you have so many troubles in your lives and no peace .
Once again... you assume... bad christian, BAD CHRISTIAN. ((shakes finger))
I'm FAR more at peace now, than when I was just another theist. That sense of peace and solace, came after months of religious research, when I ultimately realized that ALL religion has but ONE PURPOSE: they're just poorly-written explanations for the unexplainable.
A large percentage of the global population NEEDS this 'explanation' in order to function and be happy... case in point. But fortunately, people are becoming smarter.
Mankind DOES have limitations. And to accept that there are certain things we just do not and cannot know... has opened my eyes and my mind far more than ANY man-made excuse ever could.
nice copy and paste Capt. and no point has been made sir . God is the only peace you will find . I am sorry you feel that way . I pray for all who dont believe . Maybe you should ask God to reveal hisself to you and see . I have one friend that nearly lost her life to a croppling desease and should of been bedriden but she is up and praising God for this miricle he gave her she is enjoying her grandbaby and just living a life God has given her . There is another Mother I am friends with her son was shot 2 inches from his heart he should of been dead but he isnt and almost died in the hospital God answered her prayers and Now she will stand for him as I do . He worked in my life big time . I use to drink a lot and smoke a lot of drugs , one would of said I was a alcholoic but , once I got back in church and started strightening out my life God took that taste of all that out of me and I dont drink no more or smoke any more . so tell me , I am at real peace with my God .yes I pray everyday and read my bible . I have troubles but I know my God is in charge of my life and he handles all my problems . He is the Head of my house hold and will always be . And to let you know there are bad christians here . Their actions show it . Just pray for those who dont believe cause I am and my life will always show I am a christian . if you like we can talk and help each other . but remember to bring your bible .
capt. I dont see where she said anything bad towards anyone . LOL why do you try to turn what people say and make them think its bad ???
My prayers are with you and hope that one day someone would help you in your misery . I had chances and times that I could of blamed God . Thinking he hated me and the hard times I went through just give up . But once I got my life right and started studying more my life has been a lot better and yes I have become closer to God . My own free will . No one forced it on me and No one pushed it on me . See you all speak as if most push it on you and your right some try too , but that is not the way a True Christain is . Christains pray for one another as we as those who are not saved . If someone { one of you asked me a question in person } I would sit with you and talk to you yes but only if you wanted to talk with me about it . I dont hate anyone I dont care if you believe or not . Just pray for those who seem to need it . Just as last night all these people on here I prayed for the so many of the confussed and the non believers that they get their answers and that they find some peace in their hearts and lives . It is sad that you have so many troubles in your lives and no peace . I am just glad I finally do and someone I can go to talk too. Hope you find the same peace and love I have . my prayers are still with all of you .
nice copy and paste Capt.
I know. Its the best way to address each issue. You should try it.
and no point has been made sir
...yes, it has. Its proven by your inability to contest or respond to hardly ANYTHING I've said.
God is the only peace you will find
WRONG. Just because YOUR life was screwed up, and YOU made poor decisions, before you decided to find God; doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.
**There is another Mother I am friends with her son was shot 2 inches from his heart he should of been dead **
What's your point? God curved the bullet? Or did he make the gunman a lousy shot? Tell me he was shot THROUGH the heart, and survived, THEN I'll be impressed.
...so tell me...
Soo... tell you what?
**And to let you know there are bad christians here **
You're a little late... I already knew that, and I have to point it out regularly. There are some 'good' ones too, but they are indeed a rarity...
capt here ya go how would you like to have been shot in the chest and only 2 centimeters from your heart and still live ??? Well my son has a Football buddy that lived through a Hunting accident and plays football now to live to tell about it ??? you know we sadi a lot of prayers for this young man and I will never doubt how God worked in him . you pick and break out what silver wing said and you still did not show me what was wrong with her answer she gave ... You might try confussion on someone else but it still will never work for me I know my religion and I read to get closer to my God and by faith in him I will never have to worry of someone who just tries to confuse himself when you need to open your heart to God and not one what man has written and wishes it was true . ya know I do pray for you and hope God opens your eyes to his word and not others . hey all you would have to do is put your faith where God is and you can truely be at peace .
*** you made no point ***
Yes I did, several. You merely lack the intelligence and maturity to acknowledge them. That's another ''low-level christian'' characteristic.
*** Just cause you think you have the answers dont mean you do ***
That goes DOUBLE for you.
I have true peace . we'll see how peaceful you seem to have it soon you will be wanting what the Bible says you can truely have .
You are fully deluded. You've already proven in your comments and in your profile, that you lack the knowledge of your own religion, to discuss it intelligently. Threatening divine attacks on people, TOTALLY contradicts the idea of true peace, and what it means to believe in god. I'll add that it's also totally pathetic.
You should seek the council of some ''real'' christians, because you've got it all wrong.
They think they're rather odd because they don't look at life the same way If you think about it, if you subscribe to a single religious belief, you subject all your actions, choices and thoughts toward it so anyone more free thinking and not so tied down to one establishment is considered a bit different and I think everyone knows how people who are different are treated like CRAP its human nature, looking at the ones who don't think the same results in instant discrimination I'm an athiest but I live in a rather large religious community my best friend is a Christian I think if one wants to be religious, thats a lovely choice but sticking their lifestyle in anothers face is just plain rude
agree with foxxy and sooitca, I believe in god...yet I can't be considered a christian...nor do I belong in any religion...and people believe I am wrong...but thinking and feeling the way I do right now...has made me happier than ever..my question to you is do you not see god the same ways as others?? or do you just not believe in anything??...either way..there is this satisfaction you get by helping one antoher in the way...when you get, you might believe in this energy I call God...PLUR (peace.love.unity.respect)
I had god damn johovas witnesses knock on my door on christmas day morning - at about 9 am - how god damn dare they! seriously, normally I am very polite and like 'no thanks' this time I was like "are you kidding me? it's christmas day morning and you have just made me get up, tell my kids to stop unwrapping their gifts becuase you know you're gunna cathc people in"
this is the perfect example of people enforcing their beliefs on others...with no regard for them either...
grrr...
"It makes me sad that they choose to reject Him."
It makes me sad that you continue to frame our religious (or irreligious) views this way. It's like you think we sit down and say, "I can either choose to follow God and be righteous and go to heaven, or I can reject God, and lead a life of rebellion against him. I'll go with option B."
Have you learned nothing from talking with atheists on this board about why we think the way we do?
Most atheists think about religion far more than religious people who go to church everyday. Since most atheists (atleast on this site) grew up in households where their parents/guardians were religious, they obviously thought about it and decided against it... most religious people on the other hand simply follow their parent's beliefs... dont pressume people dont think about something simply because they choose not to agree with you...
LOL I see the pasting still no its not worth the pasting lol you made no point all you seem to do is point a lot try looking at yours . Just cause you think you have the answers dont mean you do . I might of made choices out of the will of God but acting like the world didnt work for me . I have true peace . we'll see how peaceful you seem to have it soon you will be wanting what the Bible says you can truely have .
I'm actually a spirualist, which is a great religion in my opinion, no burning in hell, just learning! anyway...thats my choice.
why is it the above comments, assume that their life is so much happier, simply because they believe in something.
believing in yourself, your actions and the effects on others should be the only truth. relgion is dangerous, as is this subject!
im christian and a lot of my friends are athiest or just dont care. and I accept them for who they are. im not going to neglect them. my boyfriend isnt christian and I accept him for that. but I always encourage them to think about it more because evolution is just fu*kin retarded and whoever made it up should be smacked =)
As filletofspam mentioned, atheists - who percentagwise are the least likely to be in prison than any other significant group, are also the least trusted.
An out-of-the-closet atheist has a zero chance of being elected to the Presidency.
I think that people should stop and take the time to think about there religion and if they dont have\on they should because im a proud Christian and when I see atheists its makes me sad as well :(
im chrisitan, I feel bad for those who reject him but I wont turn them away, I just pray for them...I dont think thet are bad or anythin I just think they need a new direction
Doesn't affect me either way. Can't change the way a person thinks, I'll offer information if provoked, but beyond that, I let people live their lives the way they choose.
I am a Christian, and I don't despise anyone. I feel that as long as there is breath in ones body, the chance still exists to come into faith.
Blessings...
I think a lot of people are spiritually inhibited by religon.
I think free-thinkers are uninhibited in so many aspects and levels.
xox Sika
silverwings, you don't despise anyone... you could have fooled us...
Yeah, they throw Jesus blood on people they 'like'
Getting back to your question, Atheists are the despised and distrusted group in America. Every poll I've ever seen confirms this.
THANK YOU COOK111
& dude, you don't want to know, they're cruel cold hearted people(if you can even call them that)
why do you not say gods name. if god loves you say his name like you would family member. I AM
I don't think Good or bad for the Atheist as a group I just feel sorry for them.
silverwings, you don't despise anyone... you could have fooled us...
It makes me sad that they choose to reject Him.
Terrible isn't it. . . . :)
