do christians ever get irritated or even upset when the?

I understand your question. But they are not going to seek for answers in the Bible if they don't even know God. It's up to us to show them with our lives. Make them want to know Him. Show them that there is a better way.\n\nBy the way, it does no good to get irritated or upset. Prayer, however, works wonders!

Your asking them about their relegion..what really makes them mad is when they say they dont believe in god and then you tell them they are going to hell...since they dont believe in god there is no hell to them

Very good question. \nbeing that christians are taught to be kind and accepting of everyone. The messages does not always get through. It's kinda funny to hear christians rant and rave and act very unchristian like.

wow thats some thinking. never thought of it that way. that could be true when concerning religion. but how about other stresses in their daily lives? bills, family, tax it could be that some atheist may have more stress because of these things while a Christian could only have to deal with religion

No. Christians just need to display the tolerance they are supposed to have. And if they get offended by a question then they should avail themselves of the opportunity to not answer and find one they like better.

"Liberals"? Let's assume that all Christians are Conservatives: then yes.\n\nHowever, no, not all feel that their faith is being threatened by these things: only the close-minded and unoriginal ones.\n\nQuestions like this bug me out. The girl who put "cuz they believe stupid things!" is a complete twat, and the guy below me...look, don't pray for any body's salvation except your own.

They don't.  They harm the cause of Christ by making people equate Christianity with hate.  I'm certain that one way or another those people are going to have to answer for their hatred.\n\nAs a Christian I apologize for the existence of sites and attitudes like that.

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*

You did have a question, yes? \nI'm sorry you ran into some of the Christians that are still learning. Proves we're all human, doesn't it. Everyone continues to learn to not only talk the talk, but ti walk the walk. Some find it more difficult than others. Best thing to do when someone upsets you as badly as the Christians you're referring to, pray that the Lord will guide their ways. Don't condemn them.

Beats me why they get so upset over it,\n\nBut yes there is no rules against it in the bible

Not very well. I wonder why some people even get on this topic of religious & spirituality, only to slam those who know about God and walk with God. The person, who answered this question, only to say those who believe have mental problems, seems very angry, and admits to not following God. So I guess you see, those who do not follow God walk around with anger and seem to attack those who walk in faith. Others, as you read feel God "hates " them. This is another sign of those who are faithless and feeling hurt and empty. Yet others make replies about needing alcohol, this is a way they attempt to fill the void inside of them.Others refer to "thinking" versus believing". You see some are very confused in their thinking. Satan comes to steal one's faith. He comes to deceive. By reading some of the disbelievers answers, many have fallen to Satan's deceit. Hopefully, their lives will lead them to the truth. God is the way, the truth, and the light. It does not matter what antichrists believe. All eyes will see and all ears will hear the truth. Some people can live for quite a while in denial of the truth....but eventually, they will need to face it. I really believe they want to believe and are looking for God.Why else would they get on this topic to answer,\nthe questions. The interest is there, they are drawn to religous & spirituality questions/topics. They are bitter & angry. They need people of faith to teach them about God. They are looking for beacons of light to lead the way, as they are walking in darkness.

The biggest difficulty and challenge that I have had has come not from within, but from the outside world.  I believe that we should all respect one another's beliefs and that our journey with God is a personal one, so naturally, I am continually disappointed with the attitudes and behaviors that I see displayed in the name of God every day.  I am also constantly barraged with, "Christians do this and Christians do that and WHY, WHY, WHY?!" and I don't have an answer except to say that they are not true Christians as Christ intended.  \n\nBut, I'm tired of standing up for why I believe what I believe when it's no one's business but mine and God's.  People think it's wrong to stereotype a person by race or nationality, but perfectly okay to do so by spiritual beliefs and I think that should come to a stop.

Hey, we all have a friend or two that just get on our damn nerves, do what I do know that you are your only friend and put GOD first and yourself next and see what happens then.\nIf they are talking about you so what they talked about Jesus and he still did his thing, don't dwell on their negatives because they're your friends for a reason. Dip away for awhile give them a reason to miss you and things will start to change.

Not necessarily.  I know of some Christians who are persecuted because they are jerks.  Then, when they complain, they use "it's because I'm a Christian" as their defense.

I'm a Christian, and I agree with you. I think that if there is no judgement or condemnation in the answer, and if the answer is relevant to the question, there should be no problem. I have gotten rude comments from some of those who are non-religious, but only in the site. \n\nHowever, there is another side to the coin. The sad fact is that the only e-mails I have gotten that were rude and uncalled for were from other Christians, and I've also had other Christians behave rudely on the site. \n\nSeems that some people from all worldviews need to mind their manners now and then.

I'm not sensitive about every little comment. Some atheists on here have made valid points, and I have respected them for it. But when atheists start going on about how we are "full of crap" and we are not as evolved as they are, it does make us angry.\n\nAnd not to sound like a smart alec, but why is it the mere mention of Christianity automatically means I'm "shoving it down your throat"?
