Atheists,  shouldn't we blame Christians on Earth for not being good enough witnesses to us that we all are going to end up a firey death in some awful lake of fire cause our name isn't in some book of life.\n\nIn other words, your getting a lump of goal cause you aren't on Santa's nice list, do you blame your older brother or sister for not telling you that picking your nose in public was going to make santa mad.

Yes, and what if they are wrong and Islam is right? Then they will go to the same place us lol! Or maybe the Jews are right and then they will also get punished for idolising. In the end it boils down to where and by whom you get brought up. Christians/ Judaism and Islam have just done to much harm in the past for me to trust any of them.

Usually people like the ones in question are of a slightly low IQ but have enough back ground to be insulting. They have a slight grasp of The Bible but are not wise enough to get its messages. Often they are people who hurt becasue they thought GOD was Santa and didnt get their way! PRAY FOR THEM-- dont get upset!

You are really a glutton for punishment, aren't you?  It was people like you, ignoramous, that beat Him to a pulp and crucified Him.\n\nIt was because of the sins of mankind, and our self-destructive ways, that caused Jesus to be crucified, don't you even try to "blame God" for that one, you will surely rot in hell.

That's quite a generalization. I have friends of many different faiths, including plenty of non-Christians. Lots of atheists, too. I don't win friends by behaving like a condescending jerk. I don't force my Catholic faith on anyone. If they choose to believe, that's great; if they don't, that's their business. At any rate, I'm not quite sure how that warrants a charge of being condescending. And people from many different groups can be condescending. It's not confined to Christians alone.

First, I need to let you know I am not a Christian. Next, you need to do some research before you just start digging at people. Humans are the ones that make Christians jump aroud and play Simon Says, NOT God. Man has been twisting this "religion" since they figured out it could control people. There is no need to tear people up for their beliefs. Some people need it in there lives. Most belief systems teach Love and tolerance. The fact that people do not practice this is the real problem with the world today. Focus your anger and frustration on the real issues.

I wanted to start by saying that I am a Christian.\n\nPeople who are non-Christians are not going to feel better after reading your post. This post comes across as the same pushiness that people don't like anyway. I understand that you believe very strongly, as do I, but please find a new way to share the love of God. This just seems pushy and it almost sounds like you think you are better than the "poor unsaved people."\n\nGod bless you though for trying!

How sacreligious you are!!! The bunny and Santa are make believe. God is real and true and He is my Heavenly Father. I hope you come to know Him and trust one day.

I sin every day, and I'm not so insecure about death that I have to go sit in a box with some priest, and beg for forgiveness while he reads a magazine on the other side. Everyone tells lies... It's human nature. Organized religion, the bible, and the ridiculous concept of a deity was created by man for the sole purpose of control. The same reason why Santa Claus was created for children to be on their best behavior. Out of all the religions, I'd have to say through personal experience that Christianity is quite possibly the worst with tolerance, and the acceptance of others with differing beliefs. In their mind, they see their "way" as the only way, and they'll refuse to see differently, so they'll spout rhetoric and scripture as a means to intimidate, and convert others. Hence, why the word "Christianize" exists.

I see your point and as an athiest that is now born again, I have an opinion on the matter.  First of all many Christians dont know how an athiest wants to be spoken to and they quote the bible and preach.  The athiests and other faiths dont want that.  If they want a sermon, they would go to church.\n\nI see what you mean about the hate towards Christians though. It is sad.  It is childish fingerpointing and ultimately it stems from hate, fear and resentment.  I know because I used to carry it around too.  \n\nThe best thing to do is continue to respect people that are not Christian, and really pity those with hate in the heart.  It only hurts them.  Like I say, hating someone is like burning your house down to kill a rat.\n\nSad too see the real hate in peoples heart when they hide behind a screen name.  Dont judge or hate back, my sister, but love and pity those who dont have your sweet spirit.\n\nLove\n\nDavid

as an atheist (former catholic) i think. and my thoughts lead me to the conclusion that they are all misled children who choose to believe in some sky-king instead of empirical evidence. their ignorance facilitates all of the social injustices you have listed and many others. their religions are just tools of social control. they are blinded by their righteous vanity and ignorance. people of sense and intelligence need to appeal to the children of these misled people in hopes of breaking this cycle of ignorance.

These idiots responding here (like Jack and JesusFreak) are already assuming that you're an immoral and "lesser" person.  They don't even know you.  \n\nThis is a prime example of why religion is a scourge on humanity, and is the greatest threat to our survival that currently exists.\n\nThis makes me absolutely sick.  I'd better take the day off today.  I can't handle much more of this.

Because they don't respect our beliefs.\nCan you imagine how much they'd freak out if we tried to "convert" them?\n\nhey if believing in something the equavalent of Santa Claus just cuz someone told you helps you through they day - that's fine. \n\nBut don't try to push your beliefs onto me.\nI believe atheists are smarter and more moral people.\nWe do not work on blind faith.  We question things and only believe in things that can be proved.\nWe don't just behave because we're scare of a mythical hell, we have chosen to be good people because we believe it's the right thing to do, not because of some magical heaven up in the sky.  We function without an emotional crutch, without some belief in some greater meaning to our lives and without a promise of happy reunions in an afterlife.  We are stronger emotionally.  \nWe do not try to tell people how to live their lives (a la the religious rights efforts to control every aspect of our life).   We are more tolerant.\n.... I could go on for days....\n\n...phew.... thanks for letting me vent... that's all the stuff I try not to scream at them as they judge me, try to tell me how to live my life and threaten me with damnation.

Awesome! I respect you, alot, because of this statement. I agree that God should not be brought into alot of things. Alot of these people make such statements blindly as they've yet to receive any ACTUAL experience in the type of situation of which the person you're talking to has gone through, but they feel it necessary to enforce (selfishly, I might add.) that they are a Christian and that by saying this they gain points with God. It doesnt. Why would god want to enstill so much trauma on a person? Common sense doesnt react well with fear, and in this case it is the fear that God is abit shakey about their loyalty to him (Which if they were a true Christian then they would probably come to the conclusion that as long as you build good karma selflessly, then their diety would be happy.).\n\nNow the subject about people preaching their beliefs and then sinning out their asses, I believe you're right. In the Bible, it says that God'll cleanse your sins (NOTE: I am an Athiest and do not believe this, but this is for the sake of argument) but that doesnt mean you should rack up as much negative points while you can. A quote from an AWESOME Scream Christian Band (Hardcore True Christians, mind you.)-\n\n"...Christ is not a Fashion..." - Memphis Will Be Layed To Waste by Norma Jean.

Umm you say: " I would never ask something so.... "  but you did.  \n\nYou say we will blame all of the evil on Richard Dawkins (it is Richard Dawson on the game show)  but you are wrong here too.  We are each accountable for our own actions, not that of another.  This is why there are no "family plans" to get to heaven.  \n\nJust what is a "super atheist anyway?  Sounds like some one that does not believe in someone that does not believe in GOD.  \n\nHe may not believe GOD exist...but God does know he exist and God will arrange for a face to face meeting someday.

I can more than understand your frustrations with your fellow christians.  I get a tad frustrated with other atheists / agnostics when they jump down christians' throats.  But I am starting to just let it go and not get too heavily involved, if at all---there will always be a few christians and a few atheists/agnostics who will continue this eternal throat-jumping sport.  \n\nLet them.  I try hard not to listen (or read) to the christians proselytizing harshly anymore and I stop listening to the atheists/agnostics once they start name-calling or putting each other down.  I just don't listen and skip over the answers that involves name-calling, putting-down or proselytizing. \n\nSimple as that---stop reading, stop listening.  I just let others know that not all christians or atheists/agnostics are like that to those who are worried or wondering why, like you just did.  :-)   *hug*

I've often wondered why the God-haters have a compulsion to live in this category.  I know some are kids thinking they are being amusing and daring, but some are adults and they just come to insult, slash, and hurt.  Those I don't understand at all, unless they are under conviction and think they can fight God on this site.  Maybe you are on to something, "closet Christians", that's cool.
