If we all ignore the atheists, do you think they'll get off the religion catagory????
March 15th, 2010Lately the religious people aka Christians have forgotten that fact. They have also the statement "Under God" was not part of the original Pledge of Allegiance.
So I my be blasphemous in your mind and other hypocritical "Christians". At least I am a TRUE AMERICAN and believe in what the founding fathers had in mind for this great nation.
Besides, I would like to see one piece of physical evidence that proves what the bible claims.
And besides, whether you believe in something or not, this section of Answers was intended for people to come here and learn about different religions or to have heated debates. Granted there are disrespectful morons but you'll get those in every group....its not always atheists. So, if you don't want to be stereotyped and grouped into something that you're not, then please do not do it to others.
By the way.....and who's to say that atheists aren't spiritual? Many atheists have different beliefs.
Atheism defined: A - without..............theist - God "without God"
They are not without belief structures, moral codes, and spiritual beliefs.
I say that every time I visit here. If it weren't for people like you I would leave as well. Can't seem to break away. By just responding to you, there might be someone who reads and by the Grace of God we touch them and they repent and become one of us in Christ Jesus the Lord.
Just a little longer and we will be home. This is nothing like what is headed our way. You know this to be true. Remember always the words that Jesus use just before He ascended into the Heavens.
I will always be with you even till the end of this world age.
You can always e-mail me when this gets a bit much for you. I too, can do the same.
Hope I have lifted you up a bit. You are doing the right thing. We are to ignore them and by our example will they return to the truth.><>
Look, theres idiots everywhere. Theres idiot atheists, and, like it or not, theres idiot christians. On this site there are atheists who bash christians, there are christians who bash atheists, there are homophobes who bash gays etc etc.
Thats life hon! You gotta learn to deal with difficult people at some point or another.
I'm technically an atheist, and I can tell you with no hesitation that I've never bashed christians. I respect them because I hope that theyll be sensible enough to respect me back. So far most of them have come through on that. Of couse, some havent, but oh well. I'm not going to waste my time getting upset or offended over it.
Just ignore the christian bashers, just like I ignore the atheist bashers. Dont let 'em get to you, and then theyll go away, just like any other hateful people. Theyre just tryin to get a reaction out of you.
But please, dont lump me into the same group as the idiots who spend their time baiting people with different beliefs.
Now if you walk around saying , 'I'm a christian.' - That's great. You can be proud to be a christian. But you made the choice to be a christian, unless you are one only because your parents are - which would be a pretty weak reason. And to be proud to be a christian means you will have to defend being a christian.You say it's a distraction from the truth - well then, prove it's the truth. Just give me one tiny little shred of evidence it's the truth and I will 'sign up' to be a christian right now. We want 'real evidence'. Don't say, 'Well just look at universe and how complex it is, so there has to be a god who created it.' What kind of proof is that? Seriously? Why do you think you are 'attacked'? You better get a thicker skin. You are just running away crying, 'They're mean - they're blasphemous. Waaaa.' Because you are trying to spread faith as a truth. Faith is just another word for 'Hope'. The most you can do is 'hope' your fairy tail is truth. I can 'hope' all day long for there to be a Santa Clause but it ain't gonna happen. I know it and you know it - and somewhere down deep you have to be wondering about faith. Is it really true? You 'HOPE' it is true. Maybe atheists are trying to save you from wasting your time. I know it's none of our business, but that's really how concerned we are about our fellow human beings.
Believer to non-believer; You remind me of a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat.
Non-believer to believer; Well, you remind me of a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there.
Guess what, Jesus has come back!
He has been hiding in a cave for the past two thousand years with his wife and kid.
Thank you discovery channel.
if you run away. What ever they
say doesn't hurt the truth. It
only hurts them. Be not angry.
Be not hateful. Just speak the
truth. Then one day the truth
you spoke may spark a little
light in a poor dark soul. Never
forget that you were that way
at one time. :)
Light versus darkness. I guess the unbelievers are darkness.
Unequally yoked. I guess the weaker of the pair must be the unbeliever.
Some christians use their beliefs in a very ugly way to justify their attitudes toward unbelievers.
.
Not to be mean, but prove me wrong without using God in your proof.
Religion affects my life just as it does yours. Being an Atheist is my choice, but being killed by someone that believes that they are supposed to kill me because I do not believe as they do is very important to me.
If the pagans, agnostics and atheists ignore the xtians preaching and promises of doom will you all go away too?
How bout you take responsibility for yourself, grow up and walk your talk.
It's a public forum, where ANYONE, regardless of faith or inclination is invited to respond to questions that people ask. Furthermore, the section that you've posted this in is called RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY, not The Christian Feel Good Section.
Being an atheist doesn't mean that one doesn't have questions/concerns about religion and faith. Now, add to that the fact that there are some atheistic religions and philosophies (Buddhism and Satanism spring readily to mind) that have a spiritual aspect to them.
Like any other forum online, there are going to be some trolls...and remember, this bridge has them on both sides. For every atheist saying "it's a fairy tale", there are those of faith who tell atheists "you're going to hell". A christian claims to be saving souls, while atheists are trying to free minds.
Beliefs, regardless of what they are, should be able to stand up to questioning, and be strengthened by it. If your faith is so easily offended, this may not be the right place for you to spend your time.
And even if you were to ignore Atheists, they will not go away. The Atheists have just as much right to be here as you do. I fail to see what you think you are going to accomplish with this public declaration. If you want to not be bothered with "blasphemy" might I suggest going to an all Christian forum where you can ask bible questions to your heart's content without being fettered by us "non-believers".
FYI, Just because Atheism isn't a religion per se doesn't mean it's not a religious choice, hence it's applicability to this board.
spirituality doesn't require theism.
and save your "pearls", we're not interested in them.
See ya.
Yahoo did not set this up as a christian only site and if that offends some then they do have the choice not to use it.
You probably have a light on in your home right now right?
Well it takes the positive and the negative wire for the light to come on right?How does the glory of God shine in this world if it isn't by the positive and the negative.
We are a candle lit on a table so all can see in the room.Jesus parable,remember.
I tell you I thought the same thing but realized that would be blowing my own light out.
Yes there are some I ignore on here but if one person is helped with the truth then all of it is worth it to me.Jesus also said freely you have received freely give.
Cheers.
If you are really distressed about all of the "attacks" why not find a message board that is devoted to Christianity and is also monitored. There are many out there and since they are heavily monitored rude and belligerent posts aren't allowed. You could try beliefnet.com although it can get quite nasty there if people want to debate there are special forums for it.
And by the way there isn't anything that says that you must pay attention to every post that's made here. If you don't like the conversation, just don't join it. If someone is rude or dismissive of something that you post, give it the attention it deserves or just give it no attention at all. But as many have said here, everyone has the right to post here in any thread that they like.
I don't try to agitate anyone. The answer is to only show love towards one another, and hope they give that in return. You can ignore or correct them, but if you choose to correct them, do it in a Christlike manner, and do not be condescending.
I hope that makes sense, I tend to not to sometimes.
