I a lot of angry atheist today...I don't even know how but I ran into one on Sodahead.

"YOUR GOD IS A FAIRY TALE!" first thing they said.
Jeez and you complain that we bash to much.
Hearing this kind of stuff on Sodahead kind of hurts my feelings. Look no Christian out there is perfect and i'm not trying to pretend to be but all I want to do is follow God's word without being judged that an atheist has to beat me to the bashing punch.

I WONT BASH UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET INTO A DEBATE.
AND EVEN IF I DO IT'S CALM COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENT NICE TYPE BASHING. If that makes sense.

How can I have a friendly debate if all an atheist or agnostic wants to say is God is a fairy tale. They don't want to listen to an interpretation...

SPEAKING OF WHICH

Why do you take versus so literally without looking for a modern day interpretation. Someone showed me a verse about hate, when really it's about putting things, people, even yourself out of the way to follow God/Jesus. I don't get it, you asked me to explain and then you get mad and don't want to listen???

I know nice atheist are out there, but what is this grudge against God? Don't you have better things to do than hate God, or Hate Christians.

Seriously, I just want a friendly convo without the "YOUR GOD IS A FAIRY TALE" crap, cause really it's insensitive and it hurts too.

    Stop proselytizing: That should do it.



    Yes, I'm an atheist. God, or god, or gods--whatever your pleasure--do not exist. It's that simple. To US.



    We hate you telling us about your god probably as much as you hate the fact that you cannot convince us your tale is real.



    We honestly--after a look at the facts--which, BTW, there are none for a god--cannot even understand how you could believe in that stuff. It's just not true.



    Sorry. And you know, how many people have been killed over the centuries for believing in this one or that, or not believing in this one or that, anyways? So it isn't just us, or even you for that matter.



    You can believe whatever you want. Just stop trying to make us believe in it, too. This goes to everything: If we don't a kind of music, or picture, or video, or book, or style or anything, we simply don't watch, listen, read--you get the idea. But YOU guys: If you don't like it you always try to OUTLAW it because it goes against YOUR beliefs...you know, that ANGERS people.

    EDITED for spelling.

    do NOT, argue with them. atheists that are angry have troll knowledge to see through every plot hole in any form of creationism, or religion in general. just walk away with your faith intact.

    Show them a nice sample of Christian love. I admit I have often failed at this, but it's what we should do. After all, one of the main complaints atheists have about Christians is that we don't show the love we're supposed to, and sadly, they're often right.

    Don't presume to push your religion as the whole truth when it is truth only to you.

    Don't presume all those that question religion are angry.
    Don't play the victim. It's really a weak argument to begin with.

    Whether he/she is an atheist or not is beside the point. Sounds like a self absorbed troll so I would probably ignore it. There is no point in wasting time or energy on that nonsense.

    As an atheist I sometimes deal with that stuff but from the other side. As soon as I realize it I'm gone. :-)

    You know what you believe, so keep believing.

    If somebody out in SH land offends you by their hate, ignore it and love them despite the hate.

    My opinion is I have no respect for the religion itself. but I do though respect some christians if I feel they deserve my respect. I will often bash on the religion because my person opinion on it. Which I feel very strongly about. i do though try to respect individual people.

    "YOUR GOD IS A FAIRY TALE!"

    That suggests that this person believes that there is a God. They may not believe in God but they believe that believers in God have a God!! In order to not believe in something you first have to believe that there is something to not believe in!

    Atheist don't know if there is a God or not, they just believe there is no God!

    Quite simply atheist are very sad and unhappy people that have to make or try to make those that are happy miserable by raining on their parade.

    Shower an atheist with happiness, smiles and all that is good and you'll just piss them off!! And it's very fun!

    Hey call it what you want. Whatever makes you happy. You don't offer anything, however typical for being a pagan and a progressive! My belief makes me happy and I know that right there in itself makes you angry.........hahahahahaha!!
    You're type is only happy when you're angry at someone or something! So go about your bashing, again that being typical for pagans and progressives. Just keep it to the point, short, and then move along. Let's see if you can do all of that without name calling.

    And they block whatever they disagree with. Too bad real life isn't like that. How many churches would there be if the weren't tax free? How many congregants would there be if they had separate churches for male & female.

    lol and you a low life spouting crap and using words you do not know the meaning of. You are not stupid because your opinion differs. Yu are"acting ' stupid because your a condescending prick with a chip on your shoulder. You do not have the ability to see the difference. You original argument hinges on the fact you claim the we have to believe in God to disagree with him. That is false and lazy. When you get out of high school come back. Maybe I can teach you how to compose an argument.

    deal with the criticism and answer their questions. if there is no problem with your religion then it shouldn't be that hard.

    Trish, I have come to the conclusion that the more indignant and abusive an atheist is tends to show just how immature and bewildered they are concerning their own beliefs.



    So, they intentionally search out any and all that claim to be religious, ESPECIALLY Christians, in hope that their insulting and abuse get an angry response so that they can proclaim, "You're a fine example of a Christian!"



    I have come to the decision that, at the FIRST sign that an atheist or self proclaimed agnostic starts spewing their drivel with insults and ridicule to Christian's, or a member of any other religion, I PERMANENTLY BLOCK them!!! I've tried a few times to "unblock" them in hope of starting with a clean slate but, NOT ONE SINGLE TIME, have I NOT wound up "reblocking" them very shortly after!!!

    LOL, "one less" WHAT??? You've only PROVEN EXACTLY what I stated!!!

    BTW, you did PROVE one more thing, that YOU are just as simpleminded and childish now that YOU'VE entered your SECOND CHILDHOOD as YOU obviously were before!!! In other words, YOU'RE just as imbecilic as YOU'VE ALWAYS been, except that YOU'RE now nothing more than an imbecilic CHILD, lol!!!

    Ill get this out there right away. I don't believe in "God". is there a higher power or supreme being out there? sure, it's possible. but I dont know who it really is.

    anyways- just ignore the person. everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and thoughts, however, people should always be respectful to one another. if the person persists, block them and report them.

    Of course; what I as an Atheist get annoyed at is the average bible banger thinking he's next in command. They think that their invented God talks to them, telling them who to hate, who to kill, invade, steal from. Any thing but the church approved thought brings a block. As it did from Ed.

    Some atheists respect what you believe even they don't share it, others get aggressive and might be aggressive anti-theists that just disregard anyone who doesn't think like they do. These type of people fail to realize they are the reverse side of same coin of fundamentalists.

    I debate them if they are polite, if they aren't, the I ignore them. If they are worse, then I'll block them for a short while before unblocking them. You have to do what is right for you.

    Anti-religion is one thing, but many anti-theists that have posted to me have been rude, angry, and it seemed out on a mission to convert others to their way of thinking. I'm like this, live and let live- it won't kill me that someone believes in a religion or not, I respect that and have no desire to make anyone think like I do.
    Something that I feel that both angry convert the world anti-theists and religious fundamentalists need to learn.
