I really am curious. If you do not believe in God, our God or simply hate Him.... what is it that drives you to attack, belittle, criticize and make fun of those who do? Is it for sport? Something you enjoy? Do you think you will change our minds? :confused:

Oh...its hard to say but Id start with anger, hatred, self loathing, bigotry...a certain difficulty at having to look at the person that stares back at them from the mirror with contempt every morning....probably lots of reasons.

I am fine with Christian's doing anything they want in their church.

But move into politics and you are way out of line

What about here? There have been Christianity threads and you jump in to pile on. I honestly am curious what drives a person to do that? Why not ignore?

Maybe it is because religious nutjobs keep trying to pass laws based solely on their religion. Gay marriage bans, abortion, right to discriminate against gays in public accommodation laws, etc.

So ask those religious nutjobs why they feel it necessary to force us all to obey their religion.

I don't remember atheists trying to make gay marriage illegal. Oh yeah, it was the religious nutjobs trying to say they own the word "marriage" even though we allow justice of the peace to marry even though they aren't religious.

I try not to -- and I don't unless someone attacks my lack of belief, but I believe most of the attacking is done by new atheists. When someone finally figures out religion is a myth, it can make them angry -- they've been deceived -- and they lash out at those who still believe.

Years ago, I used to feel like that, but as time passes, atheists mellow and begin to appreciate people who take the best from their faith -- things like being charitable, kind, forgiving, and gracious to others -- and serving one's country -- and we then can see that religion has its place. Even if we have moved on -- we can appreciate the faithful.

The only time I'll say anything negative about religion is when it's used as an excuse to try and force behavior (stop same-sex marriage or abortions) or insist that non-religious people abide by religious principles. I will sometimes correct a religious person when they make blanket statements about their religion being better -- for example -- I recently asked Elvira (who thinks the JWs are the only true Christians) why they had removed some of the scripture in the King James Bible from their translation. She didn't answer me, of course, but I felt it was suitable given her aggressiveness.

But, as long as someone is nice to me -- I'm nice to them. And, if you enjoy your religion, more power to you!

Why not keep your faith to yourself? No one else is running around here screaming God is dead are they? BTW He isn't dead, he is a fantasy like Santa Claus.

Okay, so is it just religion for you in general? What about the non religious who are against those very things?

Thanks for such an indepth answer!

I tend to involve myself in threads that demand Christian influence in government

Why not keep your opinions on abortion, same sex marriage or even politics to yourself? Because it is an integral part of your belief system. But again I ask, why does it bother you to the point you lash out?
 
I’ve never seen, heard, nor met anyone Christ-like but if I do and I bash them I’ll be sure to let you know why.

I understand that a lot of people do not believe in God. But what makes our values any less than yours based on non belief?

Gay marriage was ALWAYS illegal. Because throughout history there was an understanding that deviant lifestyles may be fine for a personal choice but werent appropriate for society to endorse. You want to be with a guy...be with a guy. Thats your own business.

Heres an irony though. The same mindless rabid hate filled leftist ****wits that trip over themselves to attack Christians are also the first ones to trip over themselves to defend Muslims...you know...the people that have a history of hanging homosexuals from bridges and construction cranes and throwing them off tall buildings. And when you figure out WHY those same mindless rabid hate filled leftist ****wits that trip over themselves to attack Christians rush to defend Muslims, you will get a feel for just how truly stupid those mindless rabid hate filled leftist ****wits that trip over themselves to attack Christians really are.

I won't hold my breath since no one is Christ like. ;) I asked about Christians.

Oh, it's simple. They are unhappy.

I just had a Christian tell me gays should be imprisoned like pedophiles.


Tolerance goes both ways

So you hate or lash out at all Christians based on what an individual did?
Or even several?

I respect your values. When they conflict with our constitution I speak up
 
Skeptics should keep their opinions to themselves.

You'll have to show where a Muslim baker is not willing to follow public accommodation laws. You'll have to show where Muslims were trying to pass anti-gay marriage laws here in the US. You want to point out Muslims that are doing that in the US and I'll be more than happy to attack them over it as well.

Your comments demonstrate the sheer idiotic mentality of religious nutjobs. Nice that your muslim hatred is in full bloom for all to see.
