This is very strange to me. I know a few people who are atheists. And they always seem to have a big chip on their shoulders for one reason or another. They mock me. They ridicule me. They even SCORN me for my Christian faith. They run around teling Christians, Jews and yes even Muslims how foolish they are to believe in God.
One would think they would be happy that they have more free time not having to say grace before eating and not having to attend church services on Sunday. But instead, many of them are using that free time trying to remove God from OUR lives such as "In God We Trust" from our money, "One nation, under God" from the Pledge of Allegience. They even try to remove Christ from Christmas.
The latest atheist escepade comes from noted atheist activist Richard Dawkins who is calling for the arrest of Pope Benedict XVI for crimes against humanity. Really? Dawkins claims that Pope Benedict was involved in a cover-up of the pedophile priest sex abuse scandel.
It's so strange. Those of us who believe in God are well adjusted, happy people who have this overwhelming sense of fulfillment in their lives. As opposed to atheists (at least the ones I've encountered) are for all intents and purposes, arrogent, condesending and all around miserable people.
What is their problem?
I read up on Piers Morgans childhood (was interested because he is so deeply angry with anything God-related). Morgan's childhood sounded really rough. Seems to fit in line with the theory posed above.

I read up on Piers Morgans childhood (was interested because he is so deeply angry with anything God-related). Morgan's childhood sounded really rough. Seems to fit in line with the theory posed above.
Atheists can't understand the things written about in the Bible because the Bible talks about relationships. Man's relationship to God, and man's relationship to each other. An atheist's ability to understand and be in any healthy relationship was robbed from them as infants and young children due to abuse and neglect.
I see atheists as people to be loved more because they were so robbed of love as a child. Their anger is deep, and strong, but they're also deeply hurt. Anyone who has been hurt will understand this.
Don't believe it when someone says they are christian just because it came from their mouths. No real christian would ever hold up a sign that says "G-- hates f--s" That's just the religious fanatics, not the real church. Church (institution) is filed with hypocrites. Judge by the fruit of their lives, not by the words out of their mouths.
The big wig religions do not really believe in God at all and your right. They do not read their own bible but there are Christians that do give a damn and help one and another whenever they can to make this sinful world a better place then they first saw it.
All the *World peace* protests have resulted in violence more often then not sadly which makes the whole thing look hypocritical.
It's funny that the Tea Party people (who stands up for the fundemental issues that guard life and liberty) never had any riots while all the protests the hippies went to had extreme violence.
The Tea Party people always clean up after themselves and don't block access to stores.
Though what's a good riot without overturned cars and looting stores before everybody gets pepper sprayed?
And that despite this sordid and horrific history somehow the majority of the populace has the arrogance to wave a dusty old book of fables in our faces, claim these impossible and self-contradictory fables are true, tell us their benevolent god is going to torture us for eternity in lakes of fire for our disbelief (a horror they seem to take great relish in anticipating for us), violate every ethic they claim to adhere to, absolve themselves for violating their own beliefs, and then have the supreme hubris to claim that _they_ are morally superior.
I'm just saying... you know... it might have something to do with atheists being irritable.
My religion is LOLcats. They're cute and fluffy.
This is Murphy's way of doing a humiliation scene with you. I don't believe in god, but I've never even remotely doubted Murphy.

Christians are often no better. I can't tell you the amount of times I've been gratuitively insulted by Christians simply because I disagree with their views.
I will give you an example. Their is this guy on Sodahead called Leifericcson. He ever was nice to me when he thought I was agreeing with him, but the second I mentioned that I thought Jesus was not God, he called me an ignorant f~ck! He has never apologised, even though I've apologised to him for accidental, minor insults. He showered me with abuse and yet expected me to accept his teachings. Hypocrate!
Alot of Christians are like that. Never forget that. You cannot achieve righteousness solely from the teachings.
p.s.
I don't know you. You may be okay, I don't know.
And I'm a Christian too.
Obviously one of you is exaggerating which actually doesn't mean your a bad person.
When people recall event (depending on their mindset at the time) details will be filtered so you will think of only the bad words being said and miss whatever point is being made in between.
That happens to me all the time where I make a post and people ignore me accept to point out faults though I have done it to others ALL THE SAME so I accept it's karma bitting me back in the face when people beat my posts down.
I really bet there were a lot of valid points being made that are accurate if you actually pick up and open the darn bible and NOT THE KING JAMES VERSION! which is known to have a lot of mis translations since after all men wrote it and the heart of men is always in error.
I've slowly come to realize Jesus and Christ are two seperat beings where Jesus is the physical version of The Father while Christ is the energy version which vibrates in all of us who are in tune.
The Kings James version is heavily used in churches that promote the hateful vengeful God though I also believe the old testment God was a different God that got unleashed. since Jesus never made a name for God other then *Father*.
The last thing Jesus said is "Fath...

The last thing Jesus said is "Father forgive them for they had not known what they have done" instead of screaming at God to burn them all to hell which he could've done with all that pressure on him.
Now that he is Christ he is in everything and everywhere.
I know I would've.
Don't judge those you don't know and don't put them all into little boxes of society, because frankly it's not going to get you anywhere.
Nice feeling isn't it.
And while there are also plenty of laid-back Christians and yes, even middle-of-the-road Muslims, there are a vocal group of American Fundamentalist Christians who view every check against their right to force their dogma on everyone in the public square as a great affront to justice -- some sort of sinister Atheist plot to destroy Jesus before he can pop back by and catch them up in the clouds.
and for the record, christmas isn't even originally a christian holiday....furthermore they are not trying to remove your christ from christmas but infact they are trying to remove christmas from the pagan festival....get your facts straight please
did i read this correctly? you believe even though the pope has admittedly covered up pedopile priests and their widespread involvement in churches worldwide that he is still a great guy? i bet you would not be saying that if your kids had fallen pray to pedophiles...i suggest you edit your post to disinclude that part as it clearly shows you are in favour of horrendous acts much like alot of christians in the bible.
and you wonder why atheists get angry with you after you talk crap like that....i suggest you look at King cnut comment 2 under mine and you will see that your side has hate and intolerance covered
