Atheists are annoying?
109314
As an atheist, I have tried to grasp how believers in a god can actually believe. Many religious people have deemed this annoying and respond with hostility because their faith comes under question. And contrary to what people above me have said, we DO have beliefs. Just different (which to some people means none at all). I believe in science and proven fact. I have discussed my beliefs, and come under attack, because if people of faith can understand where I stand, they can further help me understand where THEY stand.

Atheists don't hate God; they don't believe such an entity exists, so hating it would be an absurdity.\n\nWhat they have a problem with, in my view ("hate" is too strong a word), is the attitude of theists who preach at them, calling them fools, or blind, or spiritually dead, and threaten them with dire consequences if said atheists don't exchange their axiom set for the theist's own. (Worse are those theists for whom proverbial justice can't come soon enough, and threaten dire consequences upon people in *this* life.)\n\nIf all theists were content to follow whatever beliefs they may have and not attempt to proselytize to non-believers, atheists would merely consider theism an idle curiosity. As it is, however, theism is seen by some atheists as a dark, sinister, divisive and ultimately destructive force in society. (c.f. Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins.)\n\nA question back at you. Why should atheists respect a monotheist's belief-system, when their belief system *by definition* does not respect atheism?

Typical...you asked for help..thinking only a Christian would know this poem, and an atheist gives you an answer that says "I know but I'm not gonna help ya, since ya didn't invite me to answer your question"....Since when do atheists need a special invite to crash the party? How small and petty!\n\nIt's a beautiful poem, BTW!

It's frustrating at times, but it's also an opportunity. \n\nWhy would they be here if on some level they weren't searching for something?\n\nAnd if they really are just making fun because they can, it sort of undermines the whole "atheists are more moral than Christians" angle they're working.\n\nLet the wheat and the tares grow up together, right?

Theoretically, if they are saying the phrases you describe then they are not actually atheists. how can someone you don't believe in damn anything? Seriously I don't get especially annoyed by this one thing that atheists do but there are other things such as being illogical and pigheaded which usually bother me more!!

Well, I'm not atheist, but I'm not very religious either.  I had two friends, one who was an atheist and one who was a firm-believing christian.  Around this time of year, the atheist would say Happy Holidays and the christian would say Merry Christmas, as a way of persuading him and it ticked me off.  My mentality is that everyone's beliefs are going to be different because everyone in this world is different.  And if what they believe makes them a better and happier person, then I'm not going to judge it and more so, I'm going to be happy that's what they believe, because it makes them happy.  And those who are super-devout in their beliefs to the point where they push it on other people really piss me off.  And a lot of times, I see it's because either A)  they are too stupid and/or lazy to come up with their own ideas that they need a book or someone else to make up ideas for them or B)  they can't forgive themselves for their past sins so they think if they lead this life it'll automatically make them a better person, when it doesn't.  To those atheists out there, believe whatever you want to believe.  It's nobody's business but your own.  And a truly good person and friend will accept and respect you, even if you don't agree with their beliefs!

People who forget about God.\nPeople who talk bad about Jehovah's witnesses with out knowing much of anything about them.\nPeople who blow their nose at the table in restaurants.\nPeople who pass gas in a restaurant.\nPeople who cough, sneeze, blow their nose, use the bathroom, pick their nose, scratch their butt, dig out wedgies so on and so forth then try to shake your hand or touch you in some way without washing their nasty hands.\nPlus size women who dress like they're size 2, don't get me wrong I'm plus size too. But I know there is a limit to what I can wear, cause a belly hanging over low ride jeans and rolls showing through mesh isn't cute.\nPeople with ugly feet that insist on wearing open toe shoes.\nMen that come on with cheesy lines.\nTwo faced people, smile in your face then turn around and dog you out to others.\nShallow people.\nRacist, bigots.\nWomen who wear weave but try to pass it of as hair growing out of their scalp, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!\nPeople who take two sips of beer then act a fool, don't drink if you can't handle it.\nPeople who claim that they're not racist but make sweeping generalizations about other races.\nI could go on forever, but I'll stop.

Atheist, you in your comment show you are as bad as they are.  They have the right to believe whatever they want and to say whatever they want no matter how hurtful.  Be we have the right to report them for it and not giving them power over us by letting their ignorance hurt us.

Omg baby, this is way too funny. But in my opinion, I think the religious fanatic would be entirely more dangerous. Why? Because atheist dont press what they believe on you and they dont have big "bibles" to throw at you when you have sinned, and i know that when they get together in mass congregations they tend to jump around, fling their hands everywhere, reach for the sky and start screaming in tongue. And they can be so hyporitical, atheists just keep to themselves most the time. Others just run around and will not shut up.

Hardly. On the Internet, I've really only seen a handful of Internet trolls who are actually as clever as they suppose themselves to be. \n\nFactoring out the Internet for a moment, I think atheists (not all, but some) tend to think Christians are less intelligent than a lot of them are. And I suspect many atheists also look at their reasons for disbelief, which they consider to be rooted in reason, and suppose that because their belief can be sourced to a rational outlook, that those of their would-be opponents cannot be. \n\nAs a result, atheists tend to play a pretty weak hand with Christians in debate - they really do tend to underestimate them. They ply them with pesudo-logical paradoxes (that in fact have serious logical flaws to them) such as "can God make a rock too big for him to lift it?" And they'll toss out such red herrings as the "Flying Spaghetti Monster", one of the most poorly devised apologetic devices ever constructed in the history of theological debate.\n\nI think the more convincing arguments made by atheists tend to be the ones that take religion seriously - Paul Chamberlain's "Can We be Good without God?" I thought was a superlative and well argued work, though I didn't agree with some of its conclusions about the nature of religious belief. \n\nBut I can imagine a person being convinced by an argument made like that, because you are being taken seriously. Mockery has been taken out of it. I doubt too many people ever change because they are made fun of - there's no quicker way to shutter someone's ears.

haha I asked the same question but about fundalmental christians.  For someone trying to figure out my own sprituality I find both sides rather annoying and superfical.  I think the reason both Atheists and Fundalmentals are on here so much is because their point of view is very simple to give a easy answer.  Beleive and don't question for the fundalmentals and don't beleive at all for the Atheists.  To answer many of the deep questions posted on here a lot of thought has to go into those answers.  Even with lots of thought, a good answer is hard to communicate.  Whole books have been written to answer some of these questions.  So it only appears to be narrow minded people in the population but in fact its just easier for them to give their narrow minded answers because to them everything is black and white

I think that they are people that have their own specific reasons for not following after any particular god, or religion, or belief. Possibly many are just searchers?  Some are skeptics? Some maybe are just filled with hate for one reason or another & just declare non-belief?..the reasons for being an atheist are as varied as there are people's opinions. Personally I choose to believe in the Word of God, (Bible) & like Albert Einstein who was an atheist...and became a deist (believer in God) when he found a reason through knowledge; to believe!

I agree with the Bad Liberal, my Christian friends (most of them) are much better behaved, and so are my atheist friends, far better behaved.  But that is the internet for you.  Think about this, when you are talking to someone face to face, you have no safety, when you are talking on the phone, you are a little braver, get on the internet and you are ten feet tall and bulletproof.  Some people are just ignorant and rude....God forgive me...screw them if they are not nice.

lol,,No, God is not annoyed with questions.  Jesus tells us to come to Him as a child,...and children sure do ask alot of questions.  I do believe that God is getting pretty annoyed with ol satans yap though.  satans been sitting there before God accusing and pointing fingers at us and saying see see see God at what he did, see God what she did.  God will put an end to satans yap yap yap in heaven soon when Michael boots him out to this earth again.  At that time there will be sweet silence in heaven cause the big mouth is gone,..but WOE to those on earth.
