Why is no one talking about how mean atheist are to Christians?

[Sweetener_]

It's always "respect all religions" till it comes to Christianity. Hypocrites.

My problem is not you not respecting the religion, my problem is you disrespecting the Christian as an individual and expecting them to even give you the time of the day by trying to prove themselves to you. Most atheists are not receptive, they don't listen to understand, they listen to reply. And most of their replies are full of insults. These are people who are bitter and angry at life and need hugs and prayers.

[Terrell070]

The problem comes from religious conservatives. If you'd back off and leave people who don't subscribe to your particular religious values alone you wouldn't be disliked. The problem is that you won't. You are willing to try and change the laws to prohibit "sins" you don't like, while refusing to see your own sins.

People who disagree with your values don't want armed men threatening to take their money, property, or put them in cages for not bending the knee to your religious beliefs. Any time you advocate for something to be made illegal, or required under the law, that's an endorsement of using said force against anyone who is noncompliant.

The gay marriage debate would be an example. You are not materially harmed in any way shape or form if 2 guys, or 2 gals marry one another, yet conservative Christians tried to prevent them from marrying in the eyes of the state. Your church is under no obligation to perform the ceremony. State workers are but your side backs Kim Davis, a 3 times adulteress, when she didn't want to issue licenses to gays wishing to marry when she worked for the government & claimed "religious values". Remarriage after divorce, as long as your ex-spouse lives is considered adultery in Christianity.

Remarriage after divorce is always labeled by God as a sin or specifically as an act of adultery
(Deuteronomy 24:1-4, Malachi 2:14-16, Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:3-10, Mark 10:1-12, Romans 7:1-3,
1 Corinthians 7). God says clearly in Romans 7:3 that a woman “will be called an adulteress if she
lives with another man while her husband is alive,” explaining that only the death of her husband
releases her from the law of marriage and permits her to be remarried

Another example would be prayer in public schools. What the courts ruled was that you could not coerce students to pray, whether it was by school mandate or social pressure. Your side represents this as an assault on your rights when it's really the protection of others from your assaults on their rights.

[AlexanderAnttila]

And when you confront them about it it's all denial and "What, no, I've never seen any meaness from atheists, pfft. It's Christians who are mean".
And in the same week literally anywhere you express sincere faith: "Hahahaa stupid theists believing in magical sky daddy, Bible is a fairytale".

[Sweetener_]

Exactly.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I don't know which crowd of atheists you've been around, but speaking for myself, religion is the bane of my existence. I don't necessarily like the topic because... I don't like it. If it's something that's not life related, don't lecture me about it.

I did believe that there were many gods instead of just one, but after reasoning with myself about what proof I have and could possibly find, I just stopped believing because it's pointless to believe in something that has no valid proof.

I do believe after death, there is an afterlife, but there's no heaven nor hell.
I believe the reason why we can't communicate with our dead loved ones or a few dead in general, is because they are no longer here. Which means they are unable to feel our contact because they are gone from the afterlife.
Had you ever wondered that there may be other people out there? Outside this galaxy? Outside this milky way? That there's another Earth similar to ours? I really wish I can confirm that. Maybe the reason why we couldn't contact those few dead people is because they are in the other milky ways, reborned or reincarnated.
The reason why we could never feel our loved one's presence is because they are somewhere else other than this Earth.
The phrase, "Your loved ones are watching over you." Is just a saying with no meaning behind it. If you can't feel their presence, then there's no way that they are possibly watching over you.

You religious people pray to nothing and wonder why you never receive a response. Even as a kid, I knew I felt the vibe of bullshit every time my Christian aunt drags me to church with her. The pastor always yells like he's trying to manipulate and scare people. We have religious people, fanscinated, thinking, "woah... The Holy Spirit is in our pastor. He's now our Savior." Then y'all end your day by walking out the church, seeing them as a human being and act like y'all didn't see the Holy Spirit.😂

[Sweetener_]

I've seen the miracles God has done in my life, when I pray I do receive a response, a very positive one at that. My relationship with my Father is strong but you wouldn't understand that because you're not In the spirit. Many people lack understanding of spiritual things because they've been forced to believe in it. That's what's going on with you. You're lost and searching for answers. I pray that God grants you peace that you may be ready for what He'll reveal to you, and gives you the humility to accept His will and His way 🙏🏾💛

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I might've been forced to believe, but I'm the person who focuses on logic.

I find it odd how many religious and unreligious people view god in many different ways; it's fanscinating.

[DaisyM23]

I think it could go for any religion. Also, it does kinda depend on where you live and the dominant religious ideology there. For example, in the west, christianity is dominant and atheism as a social study or whatever historically has been based on disputing christian claims. Either way, monotheistic religions are quite similar so really, disrespecting one religion is disrespecting all

[worldscolide]

I respect most any religion until they try to shove their religion down my throat. And trust me on this, it happens to atheists more often that atheists do it to religious people.

Its not your place to convert me, its not your place to teach me, its not your place to shun me or judge me for my lack of religion. And there is a VERY good chance that i know more about your religion, and its history than you do. I Studied most faiths in college, and have read the bible and Koran cover to cover several times.

But when i have people telling me that i can't celebrate Christmas with my family because im not christian, Don't whine to me when i call them on their bullshit. Most christian holidays were pagan ones before Christianity co-opted them and stole them from the people that created them. And trust me this type of conversation has happened more than once.

Personally when it comes to religion, I have a live and let live policy, Dont talk to me about it and i won't have any issues with it if that makes sense.

[worldscolide]

Typically when i see religious posts on here i ignore them.. But when i see a post like this, deliberately saying things about atheists which is untrue i feel i must respond.

[Anonymous]

Not at all.

Let me clarify the situation for you.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam can all go and fuck themselves.

Why?

Because they are all exactly the same religion for a start, thats why they are bundled together and they are all religions of hatred and intolerance of others.

So it is in fact you, if anyone who is the hypocrite here.

Now I know that you want to think that your beliefs aren't hateful because you tell yourself you are a good person and therefore all of your beliefs must also be good.

Trouble is that none of you agree with each other about any of this nonsense and so we must look to the book and to history to see what it is about and its very clear that the book is wall to wall hate and death to non believers and women and gays and all that stuff and there is a long and bloody history of fiery persecution to be seen whenever religion has been dominant in a society, as you can see in the middle east today where religious law is backed by the violence of the state.

The fact of the matter is that there is not a single piece of evidence to support your false claims, its all bullshit and you should pull your head out of your ass and start living in the real world.

[Opinion Owner]

Nothing you have said alters the fact that what you believe is bullshit.

Why would i respect someone who is willfully ignorant?

How dare you speak about whether or not people are receptive or are hypocrites when you yourself reject the mountains of information which demonstrate absolutely that you are wrong?

[Not_Average]

Even when I was an ashiest, I was always taken aback by how rude they were to Christians. All the Christians I had known at the time were some of the kindest loving people I knew. To see people just attack their way of life with an excuse of "I'm just honest." was extremely off-putting. I don't believe in the spaghetti monster is one I've heard. It's as if these people don't even have the social aptitude to regulate themselves in a scenario of realizing it's wrong to insult somebodies way of life.

As Christians, we need to realize that these people are being led by Satan and culture without even knowing it. I was at that point in my life too. They don't know the truth, and we need to detach the sin from the sinner. Also, there are some bad Christians that make the rest of us look bad. We need to be especially careful on how we present ourselves to the world because people are very quick to point the finger on your faith as soon as you get caught up in the moment.

[Dchrls78104]

Jesus Christ said to his disciples:
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember... that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also." (John 15:18-20).
Jesus Christ once said to his fleshly brothers: "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil." (John 7:7).

[Derekk]

I tend to notice that those who have the worst experiences with people of different ideas, tend to be the worst equipped to actually communicate in a healthy and reasonable way with them. Have you considered that perhaps some of that hatred has less to do with other Christians, and more to do with the fact that you're rude and condescending to people? That will often trigger a nasty response.

You talked to one woman on here about being lost and needing God. How would you feel if an Atheist talked about you as being brainwashed or in a cult? Pretending to care about the "poor lost girl" doesn't make you any less of a dick.

[Sweetener_]

I always try to be respectful to everyone and show love. But don't expect me to be a doormat. There must be a reason why I said she's lost and needed God.

[Derekk]

Ah actually you're correct. I read her last response to you and it seemed much more polite than her first one. My apologies.

[Sweetener_]

Apology accepted :)

[God_of_Thunder]

See, that I don't understand.

I'm an athiest, and have been since I was six years old. Personally, I couldn't care less about what religion people are. That's their choice, and I respect their decision to believe in something like that.

Assuming they also respect that I don't believe, and don't want to be "converted," that is. Those are the only times I have any issues with people who are religious. As long as they don't try to force it on me, I'm totally cool with their religion.

[slatyb]

Mean atheists? Here's mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Ahlquist She pointed out that it was inappropriate for her high school to display Bible verses. She received death threats. Billboards or any public atheist messages are regularly vandalized by Christians, but you never hear of atheists vandalizing churches or church advertisements. Christians proselytize constantly, but anyone who questions their beliefs or asks government agencies to follow the law and remain religiously neutral is being mean? People who file suit demanding an end to proselytizing in public schools are regularly granted anonymity because of the risk of violence from their loving Christian neighbors.

Why are Christians such snowflakes that they can't abide anyone questioning their dogma?

[collie22]

God haters are threatened by Christians so when they come across a Christian they attack usually verbally. In person there are mean people i've meet a few. They come at you out of know where spewing hatefulness. These are people I've never met before. If your a Christian you know what i'm talking about. This statement probably will attract a God hater.

[Sweetener_]

It already did lol 😂😂

[DJB72]

As a Christian of 35 years I've learned to have hide like a rhino wearing body armour.

Christ said the world would hate us because it hates Him. It's reassuring to me when someone gets so bent out of shape just by me mentioning I'm a Christian. It's even more fun when I share my full testimony (not enough space here).

Remember Jesus was still being meek when he braided a whip out of leather cords and used it the drive the ungodly out of the Temple. That was as meek as raising Jairus's daughter or the widow of Nain's son.

I love the look on people's faces when I say "I respect your opinion, but if I joined you we'd both be wrong"

[TheSpaceGnome]

I don't respect any religion, or any other kind of assumption or lie thats claimed to be fact (including your question and it's update, lots of people don't like other religions too, and if you think calling out bs is mean, well thats on you.)

If what you believed were important enough to defend, you would have evidence, logic, or math to back up your claim, and then at that point, it wouldn't be a belief.

Grow up, not everyone has to respect, nor defend your childhood fantasies, people can think what they want, and point out bs when they see it, and demand proof of a claim, and not want to put up with door to door harrassment, or cultists telling them how to live, if they so choose to.

If you don't like that, then I advise not being on the internet, or anywhere in public where that is bound to happen, and maybe not knock on stranger's doors to spread your bs.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Your update is basically slander.

[Floppy2112]

So you noticed, from the Bible post, that there is some abject hostility towards Christians, huh? Yeah, it's not an easy life, there are a lot of people who want to destroy you just because you are Christian. It's part of the deal, stick with Christ.
You missed the brunt of this onslaught. During the 2000's, the new atheists rose to prominence and they were vicious. Richard Dawkins telling his tribe to publicly humiliate Christians. It seems a more moderate tone has been adopted lately. I can write a book about this topic, but I would be behind many great thinkers like William Lane Craig and Ravi Zacharias. Look these guys up and listen to them because they were the defensive wall against the new atheists and were very effective. They can teach you how to defend yourself and your faith.

[Laciandmaci]

I agree as a Catholic I get so much hate on here, like why? If you don't like it don't follow me, or respond to my religious questions or opinions!! They can insult me all they want, but I AM NOT changing my Catholic beliefs!

[Laciandmaci]

@Iron_Man

[Iron_Man]

Awesome girl way to fight for your religion

[Laciandmaci]

@Iron_Man Thanks!!!

[Laciandmaci]

I do not preach or go bonkers with my religion! I also don't bible bloop!

[Iron_Man]

No it’s OK to preach the Lord wants us to witness about him

[Laciandmaci]

@Iron_Man True!!!

[Iron_Man]

Yes...

[CountessSarah]

Where is this happening?
I never see atheists being mean to theists.
What I see a lot of are theists starting conversations, then being evasive or deceptive while the atheist gets annoyed at their dishonesty.

Christians have this awful victim complex that they need to stop trying to push. It's not bullying to expect them to be honest.

[NoManTwo]

Go to any university.

Listen to most cable "news channels".

To them God forbid if you are a Islamaphobe.

But if you are a Christophobe your are one cool dude.

[7771999]

Black people have a victim complex

[CountessSarah]

@NoManTwo
WTF is a 'christophobe' - What would I need to be saying in order to be labelled as such.

@7771999
That is also true, but not the point here.

[Sweetener_]

@7771999 Lol, I see

[7771999]

Hey girl! 😅👋

[Sweetener_]

You're racist so don't "hey" me. Do a deep self examination and get some psychological help.

[7771999]

I see you've gone down that route. Lol 🙄😂

Boring

[silvermoon84]

I’m Christian and I can answer why many non christians are mean to us. It’s because many “christians” are very angry and judgmental and don’t accept people. I’m accepting of everyone so I’m definitely not like that. I’m not saying you are, but there are a lot of christians that make the entire faith look bad

[007kingifrit]

well you can't accept everything. a person who accepts everyone has no integrity

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Oooohhh imma tell Jesus on you. He was friends with all kinds of sinners. Even died for them. His dad is gonna be so mad at you.

[silvermoon84]

@007kingifrit I understand your point in some cases, such as murderers, prison convicts seeking work in the outside world, or a convicted rapist dating a close friend or a relative however what I was referring to was the fire and brimstone type christians passing judgment on people for stupid reasons. Perfect example, I have friend who is very strong in her faith but is also a goth, and she gets judged every week by people in church because apparently if you engage in the goth subculture you can’t possibly be a Christian 🙄 (and I quite a few christians who are also goths, so hopefully you recognize the sarcasm in this last sentence).

My fault though, I should have been more clear.

[silvermoon84]

*I know

[crmoore]

I know there's a lot of atheists out there like that, but I'm of the opinion those are the loud, bitter ones with a superiority complex. I feel like most atheists are pretty normal about it. Like it's not something they obsess over and really feel particularly compelled to openly express. If it's of any relevance, I'm atheist (technically agnostic, but practically athiest), and I don't go around being mean to Christians or any other religion.

[BlackTealLazer]

I'm not sure if I can call myself an atheist because I'm sure there is a God, but I don't really care to follow what the Bible says. I was raised to, but nothing I did was ever enough for my family, and even then, they called me an atheist, so I just stopped trying.

I respect Christians and I don't shame them for things they believe. Sometimes, I can help others understand christianity, but I just don't follow it myself.

[Leavesbound]

I'm an atheist and I am not mean to Christians per se. I don't single out any specific religion. I consider all religions to be fairy tales. If you want to believe in fairy tales that's your business. I draw the line at being coerced into participating though.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I think it is frustration they are experiencing from those with religious leanings (regardless of religion) who try to condemn them and push their beliefs on to others.

I am agnostic myself and still believe in a higher power, but I am not trying to force that on anyone or require my beliefs to be mandatory in schools and government functions.

Nobody should be kept from practicing religion but nobody should be forced to practice either.

[Wowie101]

Well when you make the choice to become an atheist. At that point you believe that everybody else is crazy and suffering from some mass delusion... at that point I believe they just think they’re better than everybody else and the treatment becomes just part of it... That’s what I gathered anyway

[The_Maphio]

Agreed on the hypocrisy.
Albeit I gotta give some territory on people being mean to extremely religious people, who are so in a rather grotesque level for somebody living in the new millennium.
At the very same time, lots of self-appointed atheists are only so because it's edgy. They know fuck-all about anything tied to teology nor the books they so harshly talk down onto.

[TurboKid]

I think that is a subset of militant atheists who are like that. I am from Japan which is just generally atheistic and so I have no hostile intentions towards Christians. The last thing I want to do is ban Christmas trees. I think people who want to do that are just a bunch of asses who want to ruin things for everyone else.

[TurboKid]

Sometimes I think Christianity is so pretty too, like the Renaissance idea that music and art were devoted to capturing the beauty of what God created. I sometimes wonder if any atheistic mindset can rival such beauty:
https://youtu.be/nEjFIiGMXOk

[TurboKid]

I think a problem is that we live in a very cynical age right now. It's not just religion that's under scrutiny. It's also marriage, romance, love, art, poetry. I think it's very easy for a STEM type to think religion is so incredibly stupid. I fell into the same trap in my university years. It can be quite sophisticated if you move it into the realms of the arts and humanities and not the sciences. And even if we fail to develop an appreciation there, there is stupidity around us... in the form of radical feminists who think we live in a patriarchal rape culture, for example. If people think the religious masses are stupid, they are in for a rude awakening with the secular ones as well.

[just_a_potato]

I have been friends with a few athiests. But I had to stop being friends with a couple them for that reason. I never even tried to "convert" them, I briefly talked about what I believe in and that was enough for them to go off on me LOL

[BentAssassin99]

Hmm why are people so mean to my religion? Or any for instance. Because they don't know Jack about it. People put down my religion all the time. Literally don't even know what it's all about like if you take the time to look at the 7 tenets people would realise so stop thinking its "only" Christianity. It's all religions

[Archerer]

What are you talking about? I say fuck all religions... I'm not mean TO Christians, their religious beliefs are just stupid, as with all other religions. Brainwashed and stupid, I refuse to respect poorly formed beliefs with no rationality.

[Archerer]

To be clear, I mean nothing against the individual, until their religiosity starts coming out, it's their religious beliefs I am against, not them as a person. Not to say there aren't Christians who are horrible humans beings, because there are, many of them. There are also many horrible Atheists, and monks, and jews so yeah, its the belief, not the person, that is a different conversation. It's like Talking to someone who believes the earth is flat, you know is it respect their beliefs? Like no, you idiot, it's a sphere. You are crazy.

[FlySwimmer]

Same here

[Archerer]

Also, I’ve debated enough christians in an actual formal setting, I’m over it, they are bad. Always bring up the same arguments that have been disproven, sometimes hundreds of years ago. Muslims are better debaters, although just as wrong.

[Archerer]

(To your update)
Really? Because I remember our conversation going like this:
You: How does the bible contradict science?
Me: *lists like 12 contradictions*
You: There's no point arguing with someone who is closed minded

[Sweetener_]

*Lists like 12 contradictions and insults my beliefs calling them shitty and calling us brainwashed.

So again I was right you're close minded. I don't know about you or the people around you but I rather talk to someone respectfully withouth insulting their point of view or them as an individual. Have a nice day.

[Archerer]

Usually it is the brainwashed people who are closed minded.

[Deathraider]

I mean I don’t know about you, but most atheist don’t want to be bothered with. The thing I do have a problem with is how atheist are perceived by society as negative. It isn’t right to have preconceptions on a person’s moral based on a belief they happen to hold.

[Christsdisciple15]

yeah I totally agree; I don’t really understand why they’re so bothered? If they don’t believe in anything that’s fine so why talk about it

[Gabbledegak]

I am a Christian, but what I don't like about Christians are there ways of trying to convert anyone who doesn't believe as they do. Even I can argue against my own beliefs. The only person I ever get angry at is God, but He can handle it.

[Floppy2112]

At 42 years old you should know better than that. Most Christians don't walk around trying to convert people. You have a few bible thumpers on street corners, big deal. Out of over 2 billion Christians, there are very few actively recruiting.

[Gabbledegak]

@Floppy2112 your right most don't. But it's the ones that do go over the top.

[Jersey2]

Not in my experience.

[Kas19]

Because Christians are annoying. No one cares that Christians are getting shit except Christians. I grew up listening to Christians talk shit about atheists and it was just normal.

And so is this. Sorry :)

[Jack9949]

I agree. I’m sick of atheists being so dmn rude all the time. Like just fcking leave me alone btch

[Sweetener_]

Oh my goodness, I can relate so much to this, sometimes I wish I could say something like that^ but then I remember that I'm a Christian 😂

[Jack9949]

Yeah its just. I hate them so much honestly. Not even because they haven’t found God but because they have such a superiority complex.

[Sweetener_]

1 John 2:9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. We are called to love one another not to hate. Just keep praying for them because they're lost.

[Jack9949]

Alright fine. I hate their attitude towards me. Not so much that its anything personal

[Sweetener_]

Ok 👍🏽

[Jack9949]

Like they have their own beliefs and I don’t hate them for it. But I’d appreciate if they respected mine

[Gosceewual]

because theyre stupid, and we can't jus watch stupid people say ridiculous things, it annoys and provokes us to the point we must call em out for their bullshit... if someone said the sky was green would u sit back and let them make that acusation like its reality? us realistists can't take that shit, we must express that they are wrong, and also stupid

[Gosceewual]

religions are fucking stupid and if u believe a magical man sits in the sky, u are a fucking gullible idiot, im sorry but u are

[007kingifrit]

the fact that you think religion is stupid makes you a bitter child. you don't know what's true and what isn't. religious people are happier, give more to charity, produce more children (aka, soldiers workers and taxpayers) and are in general more productive

you're the useless one

[Gosceewual]

@007kingifrit the only people offended by my comment is idiot christians thereself, if anyone had a brain n some sense around here you would see upvotes, but dislike all u want dumbass christian boy, all it says to me is u have inferior iq... if being smarter and seeing reality makes me a child... then yes i guess i am dumbass

[Gosceewual]

@007kingifrit believe in a fairy tale all u want if u think it raises u to have good values, if u secretl;y know he's fake then fine, but if u actually generally thinks its possible for a magical man to sit in the sky.. im sorry but u really do have 40 iq thats jus how it is

[Gosceewual]

@007kingifrit fucking idiots, the bunch of u, u fucking retards should all be burned to death jus for being so stupid

(mad face (

[jshm2]

Because dogs will always bark - it's what they are evolved to do. Atheists will always bark, but will never be much of anything else.

It's why we pity them as petulant adults who refuse to grow up, and the spiritually disabled.

[TonyMetal___86]

I'm open to everyone as long as they respect my faith and do not force their beliefs on me...

I'm a christian and believes in god and jesus and this will never change...

[123lucy]

Because we're not lol. Well some are, but it's the kind of thing that will apply to some members of any group.

But what exactly is your definition of being "mean" to christians?

[007kingifrit]

no there is a definite trend of religion hating hypocrisy among atheists. you can't dismiss that with individuality

[123lucy]

@007kingifrit And there's also a trend of 'atheist hating hypocrisy' among religious people. I think it's more about humanity in general rather than atheists in particular. There's always going to be people like that.

[123lucy]

@007kingifrit I mean, I already said "Well some are" in my first comment. lmao

[jasco]

Because a lot of Christians like to force people into it so it's not being a hypocrite when someone is being mean to you so you be mean to them right back.

[Sweetener_]

How do Christians force people into it? Mind you there are atheist that hate minding their business and once they see us being happy and sharing our faith with our community, they feel the need to shame us for our beliefs.
We don't point a gun on someone's head and force them "into it" it goes against the teachings of the Bible.

[jasco]

Some simply feel that talking to them about it is enough to be annoyed. But I don't know I am not a atheist so all i can say is from what I know

[JesseJayNeak]

In defense of atheists, as a Christian guy myself, there a bunch of us who become preachy and go bonkers. True, Christianity is not respect by some but still we must make sure that we represent ourselves well

[Anonymous]

Because Christians follow a thousand year old book and worship a random guy who supposedly did good things and “have faith” for no fucking reason, also science contradicts the Bible so why would you believe a fiction book from thousands of years ago lol

[Sweetener_]

Oh really? How does science contradict the Bible?

[Opinion Owner]

in the beginning - God started creation
the first day - light was created
the second day - the sky was created
the third day - dry land, seas, plants and trees were created
the fourth day - the Sun, Moon and stars were created
the fifth day - creatures that live in the sea and creatures that fly were created
the sixth day - animals that live on the land and finally humans, made in the image of God were created
by day seven - God finished his work of creation and rested, making the seventh day a special holy day
Contradicts the Big Bang..

[Opinion Owner]

Also makes no since when it comes to mass extinction events so...

[Archerer]

Literally from page one, he created light before the stars. Umm, no.
He says all humans came from Adam and Eve, so no evolution, and we are all products of incest, ummmmmm, no.
He says people lived for over 900 years old, ummmmmmmmmmmm NO.
He says all animals fit on Noah's Ark, NO.
He says the planet is 6000 years old, BIG no!
He says the universe was created in 6 days, HELL no.
He said the earth was created before the sun and stars? WTF. NO!
He said earth is disc shape, NO NO NO
The bible says that the earth is firmly established, NO! It not only moves in orbit, but it also spins on its own axis, but the continents are shifting contantly...

DO you NEED any more? Or is your mind going to do some mental gymnastics and just completely ignore all this or go for some bullshit that it's a "metaphor." The WHOLE book is a metaphor, just like a fiction book, because it's a fairy tale...

@Archerer lol thanks, I didn’t want to actually write that much so I just did that, yours was much more thorough😂

The Big Bang theory is very contradicting, it is important to understand that the Big Bang theory is just that—a theory. The exact nature or cause of that “beginning” has not been proved by empirical science, nor can it be.

There are Christians who believe in the Big Bang theory as well, the only difference is that atheists like the Big Bang theory because it "proves" that creation didn't need God. Old earth creationists like the Big Bang theory because it allows them to believe in God and still accept the messages that human science inundates them with. The Big Bang theory may be a useful model for deriving new discoveries, but no scientific theory can take the place of God's truth.

@Archerer please don't waste your time, I have no intention of talking to people who are narrow minded.

[Opinion Owner]

The Big Bang theory has scientific data to back it up, why don’t u do your reasearch, and what about all of the othe contradictions lol

[Archerer]

I guess she went with (b) mental gymnastics and just completely ignore it all!

[Archerer]

Ouch that answer was unfortunately incorrect!

[Opinion Owner]

@Archerer lol

[Archerer]

All jokes aside I’d also like to mention that a Theory in science is the upmost respected thing, it’s not the same as a theory you might have about what happens next in your favourite TV show, “ A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results”

It’s sad that the word gets mixed up and then people like the asker gets to use it against us without even knowing what it means. FAIL

And also, calling me closed minded is not only MEAN, it is also ironic because you are too closed minded to accept the most basic and simple explanation that go against your brainwashed beliefs, it’s so ironic because you are incapable to even understand what I’m saying, just get defensive and ignore

[Sweetener_]

You came here calling my beliefs all kind of names, which again proves my point, you're narrow minded, so I have every right to be defensive and ignore you, because people like you are not worth my time. I would've loved to have a respectful conversation with you, but you're clearly not up to standard.

[Opinion Owner]

All we did was point out flaws in your beliefs, we were as respectful as possible😂

[Archerer]

Eh I wasn’t being that respectful, but my point is a Christian would be, and Jesus would have wanted Asker to reply very differently so failed on all accounts. I’m not closed minded, I have a degree in psychology and philosophy and I studied with a focus on religion, so I understand not only the brain mechanisms that religious people use, I also know the stories from many different perspectives, THAT is open minded, and being able to conform your beliefs to the evidence presented to you THAT is open minded. Vehemently sticking to your guns despite evidence to the contrary is exactly closed minded. Another word that people misunderstand, that’s two now: open mindedness and theory that you don’t quite understand yet. But you are young and I have a lot of hope on the younger generation. It’ll just take an inquisitive mind and some time.

[Sweetener_]

@OpinionOwner all you did was say 2 words and left, you're not serious 😂

[Sweetener_]

@Archerer You want Christians to be doormats, you called my beliefs shitty, called us brainwashed and many other names, someone who wants to have a debate will talk to someone respectfully no matter their age. And you don't know Jesus so don't try to educate me on someone you don't know. Jesus loves and is someone who is very brutally honest, and also very sarcastic, so don't think that if you were to talk him like that ^ he would just give you hug and kisses, fist he would educate your ignorance and then kill you with kindness. I love going on debates and I'm also confident in my beliefs and not scared to prove them, but I just don't waste my time with people who are narrow minded and no nothing other than to shame other people's beliefs. I debate with standard people not with people like you. Have a good day.

[Archerer]

I probably know the bible better than you

[Archerer]

God is my daddy Lol
-Jesus being sarcastic and everyone not realizing it

[Anonymous]

Most atheists are not mean to christians. It's usually christians though who are trying to force their beliefs into legislation.

[Anonymous]

You know that I really don't care what anyone else believes in because it isn't my business. I am a Shintoist, my spiritual path is my own and I could care less if anyone tells what I believe in is wrong. If you have any issues with this, please refrain from telling me because I won't listen not will it me change either.⛩️

[Phoenix98]

There's lots of people like that and it doesn't just stop at Christianity tons of people act that way towards all kinds of people, activities, values, etc.

[Kaneki05]

I see victim complex that's funny. Imagine actually thinking i respect all religions but Christianity Ps i respect none. Stop trying to make Christians seem more important than any other dumb belief.

[Kaneki05]

yeah i don't give them the time of day same as i wouldn't to a flat earther. Or an anti vaxxer. And yeah your right about the bitter thing. But wouldn't you be to a flat earther? If not fair enough but i think you would be more happy speaking to peope who you don't find annnoying due to there weird beliefs.

[John_Doesnt]

Christians never respected other religions, who cares? All religious and non-religious groups hate each other. Because religion is gay.

[JosyJosy]

Define 'mean' you didn't even add 'some' to that claim

[Sweetener_]

You know exactly what I meant by mean, majority of them are mean and aggressive so excuse me for not adding "some".

[JosyJosy]

the majority I know of is pretty understanding

[Sweetener_]

Glad to know, but please take a look at my comments, feel free to check out my previous post too.

[JosyJosy]

Ya checked here, only found one calling them stupid and another anti free dom and whatnot, one about accepting bad treatment. The rest are just open to discuss the matter instead of trying to break it down

[Anonymous]

Matthew 10:22

You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved

TAKE IT LITERALLY THEY WILL HATE YOU

[007kingifrit]

they don't respect any religion. they're just hateful angry and unhappy people

[anylolone]

Same reason no one is talking about christians being mean to atheists, or between Jews and christians.
None of them are the "victim of the month".

[Guanfei]

Nope, we're respecting religions, in general, until they're trying to meddle with our lives.
I don't know about the US, but in Europe, atheists are more scared of islam.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I think there's just something about christianity that triggers them so much also because christians are so disciplined and they would feel like rebels hearing christian's gospels.

[7Roses]

This is not something I am aware of, I think people are more rude to Muslims and Jews and that Christianity is the least persecuted religion.

[Anonymous]

It works both ways. You think it's nice to constantly hear if I don't believe what THEY believe I will burn in Hell?

[jjj101010]

I’m not disrespectful to anyone’s religion, I don’t talk about my belief in no religion, so respect people who do the same and keep their views to themselves. It’s a personal thing, it doesn’t need to be discussed

[Dargil]

Christians accept bad treatment from non, believers.

[pokerbot]

Who is being mean to you? Let me know and I will send some of my mates around to put the fear of God into them.

[gemgem]

Most of them are former Christians and they largely don't know or don't care about other religions.

[NorthwestRider]

I think all religions are backwards, outdated, anti freedom, plain stupid, etc not just Christianity

[princeofromance]

There isn't enough media focus on this particular subject matter.

[Anonymous]

Well yeah it's open season on Christians, doubly so if you're a white male conservative.

[Anonymous]

Christianity is the only one they must attack because their god agrees with all other religions.

[Agape93]

Because they’re hypocrites usually.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

No ones ever been mean to me

[GC4877]

Yeah neither but no one really cares about people offending christians but when muslims or hindus get offended it is made a huge deal. Like (not that I care) Nessa Barrett (a tiktoker) making fun of the quran , everyone cancelled her so bad.
