Why do people who do not believe in God think of those of us that do idiots?

Because they reject God, not necessarily us. But Jesus did say that "those who hate me will hate you also". I think it's sinful nature to hate the idea of an almighty God that is gonna judge those who don't repent.

Because they like to believe God doesn't exist, that way there is no judgement for their sin

They might get scared of us, when we used logic to explain why we don't believe in god.

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!!

It has always struck me as curious why those that claim no belief in God spend so much of there time trying to convince others they are right.\nIt would seem to me that if they are that enlightened they wouldn't want to waste time with those that believe.\nI personally think this is caused by a deep seated feeling that there is a God, all they need is someone to show them the way.\nBut then that's just my opinion.

That is a matter of your own opinion. Just because someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you that does not make that person a idiot. You are just stereotyping that individual which is not right because if you are religious I doubt your religion consist of being judgmental towards others and not to mention rude.

Nope the stupid ones are the ones that blindly follow religion without questioning it.

Ignorant morons who want their thinking done by surrogate thinkers, because they're too mentally lazy to do it themselves. People who are actually proud of their ignorance, who believe whatever it is their pastors/priests spoonfeed them from that most immoral of books, the Bible.

I have yet to meet an atheist who had a logical reason not to believe.  Excuses - yes.  Arguments - yes. Reasons - no.  All lack of faith is an issue of the heart, not the head.  God never asked for people heads, but for their heart.  He's get the heart and the head is no longer an issue.\n\nThose who reject do so from fear, hurt, habit, ignorance, rebellion.  That's not meant to be an insult.  Most are intelligent, reasonable and even decent people.  But because of wounds and abuses in their past, they find it hard to believe.\n\nSomeone who claimed to be a Christian did something abuse, or they prayed and did not get an answer (or at least not one they wanted or recognized), or they have been wounded so many times that they can't fully trust anyone or anything.  Often, even growing up around the Christian faith the way most Americans do, they don't really know or understand what it means.  So too often God pays the price.\n\nGod never called Christians to debate for him, argue about him , or defend him.  He called us to love him and to live the kind of life that honors him, so that others will see it and want to know about him.  When they ask, that's when we are to be ready to give them an answer about the hope that is in us.

It just makes it easier for them to ignore God and excuse away their choice not to follow Him.   It is difficult to grasp the concept of the enormity of God and many people simply cannot wrap their brains around it.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT GOD'S JOB IS TAKEN AND PROCEED TO JUDGE OTHERS. THOSE SAME PEOPLE ALSO DON'T REALIZE THAT GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES...IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE HATERS, YOU'LL SEE ALOT OF THEM ARE ONLY TRYING TO MAKE THEMSELVES SEEM MORE VALUABLE BY PUTTING OTHERS DOWN. DON'T LET IT BOTHER YOU SO MUCH. MOST OF THEM ARE IGNORANT AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT CUZ MOST OF IT IS GENETIC... LIKE FROM INBREEDING. JUST TREAT OTHERS WITH LOTS OF RUBBER LOVE AND SOONER OR LATER, IT'LL BOUNCE BACK TO YOU.

Your right, because even when atheists are in pain they call out "OH GOD!" if they don't believe in God, why do they subconsciously call out for him when they are in pain or when they need help?

Atheists don't have enough knowledge about religion because they are not associated with any religion. I guess it's their own ignorant way of forming an opinion which ins't even valid. It's kind of like children laughing or teasing at something that they have never heard of. It's a childish way of coming to terms with something.\n\nYou're right in saying that there is a reason to believe in God. As a catholic, we don't really consider it as a "higher power" though. However, it is the only form of being that we worship (we worship no one else except God) which comes from one of the 10 commandments.\n\nOne other thing, why would God be unfair and cruel? Because of all the terrible things that happen? Let me tell you that there is a reason for everything that happens and it's all part of God's plan for each of us in the future. For example, something bad had to happen today for something more important that will happen tomorrow.

Because Religion turns people into mindless idiots.

Exactly!  Shouldn't they  love and accept everyone even if they don't believe in God.  Another example of pure hypocrisy to me.  But I'll take sociopath, that's a good description!

You are right. Inspite of the proofs--order in the universe, design in every living or non living things--some people choose not to believe. I really don't understand why. But I can only guess. Here are probable reasons:\n\n1. They were brainwashed into believing that big-bang theory. Just like putting metals into one big drum blowing them up with dynamite and presto you have a functioning car.\n\n2. These people just don't want to be governed by rules that don't fit their life styles.\n\n3. They just want to be different than the rest.\n\n   The Bible however gives us a perspective of their state of mind. "They say they are wise, but they are fools... Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds..." (Romans 1:22,28, Today's English Version )
