Why do some Christians feel the need to be apologist for atheist?

March 18th, 2010
  • is this a requirement for their friendship?


  • Cause thats what jesus would do !


  • christians are brainwashed, bibles are fake.

    and if i see another mormon ride his bike up to my driveway with a paper that says "do you know the truth?" i'm gonna throw eggs at him.

    everyone is an athiest, there are too many people in this world who are close-minded about other religions.

    There should be no such thing as religion, it just causes problems..

    the end.


  • Seems most of the answerers so far are assuming that your question is referring to Christians apologizing for the beliefs of atheism... but the definition of "apologist" is someone who defends something in speaking or writing". A Christian Apologist is a Christian who speaks or writes in defense of Christianity. So I assume you're asking why Christians feel they need to defend Christianity to atheists.

    If that's the question you're asking then it's usually because they either want to "save" the atheist, or else they are trying to convince themselves that they believe it.


  • some people just have nothing better to do

    OR

    they wanna become the next jesus as in 'please forgive them father for they don't know what they do'


  • There are atheists here?
    Darn. I thought that there were only rather witty people and rather stiff-necked people.

    I don't know. Desperate for friendship, I suppose.

    *tsssst* Burn!


  • atheists give christians a bad time


  • None here, do as you please, I will still succor in the time.


  • First off, your question is fallicious - a loaded question.

    Maybe they recognize that rationality and common sense are things to not shy away from?

    The truth is, everyone is atheist. Christians are atheist towards the Hindu gods. Hindus don't believe in the Christian gods, so everyone lacks one belief or another.

    Furthermore, most Christians don't really believe deep down. This can be illustrated when they get sick and instead of praying to be healed, they run to the hospital and avail themselves of secular medical technology. God has never, ever made somone's amputated limb grow back. I wonder why? The faith healers always claim to be able to heal something that you can't easily prove has been healed or was their doing.

    This is because deep down, people know no matter how much faith you have, you still need an extra $1.49 to get a Big Mac at McDonalds.

    If you don't believe me, try this simple test:

    Wherever you are, stop and hold out your hand. Pray for a Big Mac to suddenly appear out of thin air without anyone else's assistance in the next five minutes. Wait five minutes. Where's your Big Mac? The same place your faith is.


  • A lot of Christians are naive when it comes to being friends with people with other beliefs. Christians are the leading cause of atheism.


  • We just feel sorry for your narrow mindedness.


  • No but it would help alot,


  • Should be the other way around for calling my great grandma a monkey!


  • They don't want their atheist friends to go to hell?


  • It is actually a sort of apology for their behavior!! Intolerant, egotistical, hate filled and bigoted!! Eschewing education, science, evolution works of fiction and much, much more. Christians are the only religion opposing human rights and persecuting gays, pro choice and so much more - but far worse whilst they demand freedom of religion they deny it to all non Christians and persecute them!!!

    They simply cannot understand why nobody believes in a loving god anymore!!



  • For the same reason Jesus said...

    "Forgive them God for they know not what they do."


  • they are sorry u got stuck into that situation, duh!!


  • that was badly worded....but umm beacuse they think they will go to hell so they will try to change them to save them.


  • technically no. but you should be happy someone like that wants to help you in such a way, even if you are atheist cause it shows what kinf of people they are. unfortunatly, most of these people are low life bums with nothing to do, so maybe not eh lol


  • They are hardly defenders of the atheism argument, hostile is the right word.


  • Because it's illegal to feed the Christians to the lions now days...
