Atheists full of hate

spartan512, are really trying to say that saying ALL athiest are full of hate is much different than MOST athiests are full of hate? How about some people are full of hate, regardless of there religious beliefs.

“I can understand people not believing in Jesus and his father. but why is it that most atheist go out of their way to trash god and those who believe in him? do they have a personal vendetta?”

Define “trash god”? Please proivide some instances where an athiest trashed god?

I can understand people not believing in Jesus and his father. but why is it that most atheist go out of their way to trash god and those who believe in him? do they have a personal vendetta?

Now, aside from the title, it says “MOST” alright? Come to an understanding here people. Stop trying to satisfy your blood lust for a fight and answer it with a clear response instead of ignorant bashing.

I suggest stop trying to pick on the title, read the question, and answer it with some dignity. Now I’m sure she said something that you all could pick on after that, but I haven’t read it all.

Atleast you finally realized that. Just try and word things better if you don’t want such a negative response in the future. You seem like you could be a very nice girl you just let your fingers type ouf things before you think about how they sound to other people.

A better question would be “why are some theists hypersensitive to any perceived criticism of their religion”? A lot of what I see labeled as “hateful” or “bashing” is simple statement of views, or dissent, or legitimate criticism. You bet that if you make a claim that’s testable, and it’s wrong, such as that the earth is 6000 years old, someone’s going to pull you up on it - regardless of what your religion is.

And if saying “God doesn’t exist” is hateful, then how is saying “God exists” not?

Yeah… you aren’t talking about atheists. It’s called rude people. How would you like it if I said most Christian’s just go and bash other religion’s beliefs? Same difference. You’re the rude one.

Whenever people stop asking questions like these .

“because they believe in the One True God”

Again with this scentence.. when will you learn. Your god is NOT the only God. No one knows which one is the True or Right God, if there even was one. There is no way of knowing.

jimahl

Thank you, my point exactly.

And once again im tired of talking to immature people who ignore my responses and believe what they want about the message/point I was trying to get across. So once again… Signin off folks

You don’t seem to understand that you are on a forum with many different beliefes. To some of us a believe in God make the same amout of sence as the easter bunny

dvdysljvb

Being an Athiest is still a religion - and still deserves the same amount of respect that you would want in return.

Trust me dvdysljvb, mostly EVERY Question here gets answered. :D

Look at the title of your question :Atheist Full Of Hate. How did you expect people to react to that. Think…

You say you are not with the Christians that show hostility towards other religions - so you know that Christians do it too. So why call out athiest?

“Since I am not atheist I dont know where you all are coming from with the hosility”

Then I could very well say since I’m not a Christian - I dont understand where all of Christians hostility is coming from

Do you see how silly that sounds?

You also said “MOST atheist” in your question - not a choice few.

I do agree with mandy. :P

Ah so is it that you have a problem with people having “blind” faith? Does it ag you? J/W

im not full of hate being an atheist has nothing to do with hate that has to do with the individual I think atheism is just believing in what you KNOW to be true like the things around you ( I.e family, friends, nature, etc. )

spit unfortunately most christians DO go around bashing others belief. I souldn’t be mad because I see that it is true.

Do you not see how arrogant this sounds? You make it sound like atheists are one single homogenous group that ostricizes anyone who doesn’t agree with them. I don’t know one atheist who has separated themselves from christians. I happen to be married to one.

I didnt say all atheist I was speaking to her specifically when I said this. I know some atheist fraternize with Christians because I have atheist friends.

Spiderman Once again its not saying it in general that bothers me. It is the hateful way it said that troubles me.

Once again ill say this. I dont have a problem with anyone expressing their opinion or views in a way that is respectful of everyone. The purpose of this site isn’t to prove that anyone is a better or smarter person. (Having no faith is one thing being an a hole is another.) I havent made one comment( with maybe the exception of my miscommunicated title) that could be mistaken for intentionally hurtful.

“How is it that I implyed all atheist when I said MOST then A CHOICE FEW?”

Your title was: Athiest full of hate - that is implying. You also did NOT say a choice few in the original question - you said MOST. I’m not making things up.

I NEVER said that someone can’t be a good person if they are religious - where are you getting this from? All I am arguing is that you won’t see both sides of things - and are saying that most athiest are rude and always trying to disprove your religion.

“You twist and turn my words to make it seem like God and every other Christian out there is full of spite and teeming over with contempt and judgement”

When did I do this? I have done nothing even close to that - again with the lies.

“ I am not about to walk on egg shells for those who choose not to believe in God.”

Yet you expect us to walk on egg shells for you?

“but you really need to check the animosity in your heart against Christians and their religion. Even if you dont believe in a God you are missing out on a lot of good people with good morals.”

What animosity? Most of my friends are Christians, I have nothing but love for them and respect for their religion - that being said though - they have respect for mine as well. I am even engaged to a Christian man - so please tell me what animosity I have.

“Even if you dont believe in a God you are missing out on a lot of good people with good morals.” I’m not missing any people - I have Christian friends, family, and a fiance. Also, you do NOT have to believe in God to have good morals at all. I have wonderful morals and I know right from wrong - I dont need a religion to teach me those things. Most of them are common sense. I’ve been through more in life than you could even imagine I’ve been a drug addict, I’ve been homeless, I’ve been an alcoholic, I’m a rape victim, I’ve lied, cheated, stole from people, etc. I’ve straightened my life up. I have a wonderful son who is my whole life. I’ve quit drugs and havent’ looked back. I’ve gone to rehab and met some wonderful people and have even changed some other people’s lives. I’m in love with a wonderful man who I respect and have respect back. I have a great relationship with my parents and spend time with them as much as I can. I live a good life - without God. You do not have to have God to be good and have morals.

If you think that that is trashing god, then I suggest you either get some thicker skin, or don’t read questions about religion and science. You getting upset that someone says god is not real would be the same as an atheist getting upset because you say god is real. And I never said anything about the importance of god and the easter bunny. What I said was I could no more have a vendetta against the god than the easter bunny, since TO ME, neither is real

Its not about me getting thicker skin. What I was trying to point out in my response is that that was inflamatory TO ME because putting someones idol and role model on the same level as a childs fantasy is very rude. Its not about me being “upset” because people say that God isnt real because I’m sure I’ll hear that as long as I stand for God. Its about the UNSOLICITED comments from atheist.
It would be like telling a child there is no santa. Its unsolicited, unneccessary and RUDE!!! To offer any type of disbelief when someone puts their whole heart in believing in something. Whether it be as little as imaginary bunnies and fat white man or as big as the fate of one’s soul.

please point out where something I said was illogical or outside the grasp of your comprehension. (so I can clarify things.)

PS I have never told anyone that they are stupid for their beliefs (or disbeliefs) OR that they are going to hell. And by the way I AM TRYING TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS. THUS MY QUESTION!!!

“Its not about me getting thicker skin.”

It is if you going to say that it is bashing if some states their opinion that god is not real.

“What I was trying to point out in my response is that that was inflamatory TO ME because putting someones idol and role model on the same level as a childs fantasy is very rude.”

And sayint that athiests are full of hate is far more rude. Please tell me where I put your idol on the same level as a child’s fantasy. It was you who said the athiests had a vendetta against god. I merely pointed out that that was no possible since I don’t believe him, just as I don’t believe in the easter bunny.

“Its not about me being “upset” because people say that God isnt real because I’m sure I’ll hear that as long as I stand for God. Its about the UNSOLICITED comments from atheist. “

This is a piblic forum. As long as no one breaks the rules, one can post anything they want, solicited or unsolicited. Just the fact that you are posting a question invites unsolicited answers.

“It would be like telling a child there is no santa. Its unsolicited, unneccessary and RUDE!!!”

Now who is putting belief in god on the same level as belief in a child’s fantasy?

“To offer any type of disbelief when someone puts their whole heart in believing in something. Whether it be as little as imaginary bunnies and fat white man or as big as the fate of one’s soul.”

Just because you believe in god does not mean that everyone else must have that same reverence for your belief. You obviously have no reverence for my beliefs. Why should I for yours?

“please point out where something I said was illogical or outside the grasp of your comprehension. (so I can clarify things.) “

It is rather illogical to ask someone who does not believe in a god, why they have a vendetta against god. It would be like me asking you why do you have a vendetta against leprechauns. Unless you actually believe in leprechauns? Do you not see the illogic of your question?

“PS I have never told anyone that they are stupid for their beliefs (or disbeliefs) OR that they are going to hell. And by the way I AM TRYING TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS. THUS MY QUESTION!!!”

Calling people “full of hate” is a funny way of trying to see the other side of things.

“By trashing God I mean making unsolicited comments like “he is not real.” or he has the same importance of the easter bunny things like that… “

If you think that that is trashing god, then I suggest you either get some thicker skin, or don’t read questions about religion and science. You getting upset that someone says god is not real would be the same as an atheist getting upset because you say god is real. And I never said anything about the importance of god and the easter bunny. What I said was I could no more have a vendetta against god than the easter bunny, since TO ME, neither is real.

“Not exactly. I’m stating that your answer was a tad biased.”

As is anyone, when they are stating an opinion.

“She’s going by personal experiences, and some people right now that are answering are bashing her for saying that most atheists are full of hate.”

Bashing and pointing out her illogic and generalizations are not the same thing.

“I’ve had bad experiences with atheists AND Christians alike. So there’s no right or wrong here.”

Nope, just opinions. And everyone has the right to state theirs.

“I was pointing out how quickly people can take that the wrong way and make a scene about it.”

Please tell me how “atheists are full of hate” can be taken the wrong way?

How is it that I implyed all atheist when I said MOST then A CHOICE FEW? Let me stop generalizing mandyloo. YOU in specific are so stuck in your ways that you cant possibly fathom that someone can be a good person while sticking to their convictions. I have self-restraint (that I am heavily excercising right now) You twist and turn my words to make it seem like God and every other Christian out there is full of spite and teeming over with contempt and judgement. No, we are not. Well speaking for myself I am not. Yes I ask questions about homosexuals that were worded VERY friendly. I am not about to walk on egg shells for those who choose not to believe in God. If I want to ask something I will ask it. If you dont like it dont answer it. Thats you who chooses to answer every question that appears. I dont specifically go into peoples question just to dispute their ideas and beliefs. And let me tell you one more thing lil mama you are intelligent and have an interesting view on some things and in all actuallity I agree with you on many of your ideas but you really need to check the animosity in your heart against Christians and their religion. Even if you dont believe in a God you are missing out on a lot of good people with good morals.

“Even if you dont believe in a God you are missing out on a lot of good people with good morals.”

You should really watch you words then - because that is what that implys.

Also you seem to think that I hang out with these people because they are Christians - that is not the case at all. I dont look at a person’s religion before I decide to befriend/date/ or talk to them. I dont care what other people’s religions are - and I would never single a person out for what they believe in. I have friends of all different religions Athiest/Christians/Satanist/Wiccans/Buddahist. It doesn’t matter to me. I dont see it as being “good” that any of them are in my life because of their religion - because we do not talk about religion with each other.

Religion is a personal choice and a personal thing - and I dont see the need in talking about it in groups of people.

spartan512 - I understand that you are trying to not start an argument - but if you look at all of this nothing has gotten out of hand - and there is nothing wrong with debating. I’m sorry I have to disagree with you though - her title was very rude and assumptious and of course the title is going to be brought up into the topic. The title is the FIRST thing someone looks at when clicking on something - and it says something that is blatently not true and is pretty judgemental. We have the right to react to that.

harleyrider - DId you miss the whole post? Did you read any of it? That is ALL we have been talking about. We were not the one’s who started this - the OP made a post asking why “Most” Atheist are hateful and bash other’s relgions. All we tried to explain to her is that “Most” Athiest are not like that, and that she same goes with other religions. You will always have rude people - in any religion. You will always have people who cross the line - in any religion. You will always have people who try and force their beliefs down other’s throats - in any religion. Including Christianity. That is why we were saying it’s so ridiculous to sit here and ask why Athiest are that way - when there are people that are like that in EVERY religion.

Please tell me how “atheists are full of hate” can be taken the wrong way? “Atheists full of hate” Not particularly relating to “ALL” Just some. Can be taken in two contexts.

if you were present in the forum earlier I retracted that statement and said a choice few thank you… arachnid…

Not all atheist. Notice my comment I posted earlier…”FYI I was speaking in reference to the atheist on this site specifically. I was reading some of the questions/answers in the religion/spirituality section and everytime someone said something about God the atheist immediately starting saying things like “you can’t prove God exist” my response is SO WHAT!!!”

I didn’t say anyone was in the right - I’m just saying. When you start a question called “Athiest Full Of Hate” it’s bound to happen.

you are on a public forum. We simply answer the questions as we see them. I’m an atheist I don’t believe in God. So my views are based on that. However the fact I don’t believe in God is based on facts.

I don’t go out of my way to trash anything. I just point out the illogic of believing the supernatural. Some believers take exception to that, but that is their problem, not mine.

I could no more have a vendetta against god than I could against the easter bunny. Either would be silly and futile.

FYI I was speaking in reference to the atheist on this site specifically. I was reading some of the questions/answers in the religion/spirituality section and everytime someone said something about God the atheist immediately starting saying things like “you can’t prove God exist” my response is SO WHAT!!!

on the questions science and God on my question Hateful no christian on the question my religion on the question hellppp!!! etc. By trashing God I mean making unsolicited comments like “he is not real.” or he has the same importance of the easter bunny things like that… Can you see how someone (Christian) could find that frustrating?

“Spiderman”

I presume you’re talking to me. My nick is ‘Arachnid’.

“Once again its not saying it in general that bothers me. It is the hateful way it said that troubles me.”

Some examples, with context (or links), would be good. While conversations occasionally get heated, I certainly haven’t seen enough to qualify as ‘most’ Atheists on this site being ‘hateful’.

And you Mrs. Loo seem to be intelligent and decent. Like I said I agree with a lot of things that you say. Unfortunately when you put a die-hard Christian and a die-hard atheist in the same forum and sprinkle some resistance, intelligence and passion, things are liable to get a little heated.

“If a question was titled “why are most christians stupid?”, would you defend it because it only said “most”?”

Only if the shoe fits, then wear it.

I for one would not be offened. I think lots of people are “stupid” and they all believe in different religion.

mandy mandy mandy… it really doesn’t matter. I get it now. this forum let me see that when God (or in your opinion the lack of) is involved things can get out of control… I almost said some things that I haven’t said since… a couple of days before my last period.

Don’t forget what I said about the bunny… It has been written in the Holy Book Of The Bunny Of The East, that if you don’t believe in him, he will send you to hell. But it’s important to remember that He is kind and just. Bunny loves you all. Amen.

mandyloo I didnt say that you had to be Christian to have morals. Thats good that you have Christians in your life. I’m glad you haven’t seperated yourself completely from Christians.

Your right - I did use the wrong word. I was typing too fast and got ahead of myself , I meant to say Belief and not Religion.

Exactly the sort of thing I was referring to when I talked about people being hypersensitive and calling perfectly reasonable actions “hatred” and “bashing”. If a question was titled “why are most christians stupid?”, would you defend it because it only said “most”?

My answer: Sure would.

Multiple people have answered it quite comprehensively, and the general consensus is: It simply doesn’t happen much. It’s certainly not an ‘atheist’ attribute, and the original poster has yet to provide any evidence of endemic “bashing” by atheists on this board.

Alright then, that’s your opinion. but your sparking more controversy by even going on with it. Or… do you just love a argument?

You think we don’t get frustrated as well - again try and think of the other side of things for once. We get tired of people telling us we are going to hell, that god is real, that we are wrong for believing in facts and proof - it’s extremely frustrating. Especially when you have ignorant people who are saying - oh well science is all BS and we can’t believe in any of it - when they believe in an imaginary being. I mean come on. We get frustrated too.

Yes, you caught people’s attention with the title - negative attention. Learn to title things better and not make them sound so judgemental in the future if you would like a better response.

Don’t even get me started on your other questions please. That’s enough drama that needs to be left on THAT question and not on here.

Also, can you see how someone constantly saying “He is Real” “You have to believe in him” “You’ll go to hell if you dont’ accept jesus” can be offensive to us and frustrating. If you don’t respect our beliefs - then most likely you will get disrespected back. Respect goes both ways you know.

Sorry im asking a question. I said ‘most’ because of my personal experiences and what I believe to be true. If my questions and or comments bother you, I apologize. However, since I’m not breaking any rules and I still with hold my first amendment rights I’ll continue pressing this issue until I am satisfied with my answer. Furthermore, you are free to not comment or not keep checking back. Thx… But for the sensitive I will rephrase my question…I can understand people not believing in Jesus and His father. But why is it that A CHOICE FEW atheist go out of their way to trash God and those who believe in him? Do they have a personal vendetta?

Oh I see, a believer can say atheists are full of hate, but a non-believer can’t express his opinon on religious belief. If a chain reaction was started, it was by the initial question, not by my answer which was strictly factual.

Mandyloo, I think we are spinning our wheels with this one. She is so closed minded, she can’t understand not believing in god, and refuses to accept that others have different beliefs. She still doesn’t see anything wrong with saying that atheists are full of hate.

She seems to think that atheists only associate with other atheists and don’t personally know any believers.

“jimahl you dont have a belief to have reverence for you have disbelief thats different “

Wrong again.

You believe god exists, and that he created the world and everything in it, and provides and afterlife for his followers.

I believe we evoloved as part of a natural process, and had nothing to do with anything supernatural. I believe when we die, our brain stops functioning, and there is nothing else.

Mine is just as much a belief as yours. The only difference is mine belief is actually based on real and tangible evidence. Yours is based on book of stories written by ancient superstitious men.

Mandyloo, I do have to disagree, atheism is not a religion. It is the absence of religion. Calling it a religion would be like saying not liking basketball is the same as being a basketball fan. Atheism is a belief, but it is not religion.

Wow - that was pretty rude and not true. MOST athiest do not stomp on other people’s religions and put down other religions. You are talking about just a group of rude extreme people. Christiany has people like that also - they love to get in your face and try and tell you that you are going to hell and that you are wrong and force their religion down other’s throats. That does not mean that ALL christians are like that though - just as most atheist are not like that either.

“Stop trying to satisfy your blood lust for a fight and answer it with a clear response instead of ignorant bashing. “

Exactly the sort of thing I was referring to when I talked about people being hypersensitive and calling perfectly reasonable actions “hatred” and “bashing”. If a question was titled “why are most christians stupid?”, would you defend it because it only said “most”?

Most atheists I’ve met anyways have told me that it’s being shut minded and you shouldn’t clutch to a “god.” Then again Christians say the same thing, but it’s being shut minded not knowing about “god.”

It’s a vicious cycle. Christians/other religions force their beliefs down your throat as much as atheists do. So theres no right OR wrong person here. Each group is guilty of the same thing.

My personal belief is Agnostic. I’d rather be open minded about everything. I’ll eventually figure out the whole deal later on in life.

Oh I see, a believer can say atheists are full of hate, but a non-believer can’t express his opinon on religious belief. If a chain reaction was started, it was by the initial question, not by my answer which was strictly factual.

Not exactly. I’m stating that your answer was a tad biased. She’s going by personal experiences, and some people right now that are answering are bashing her for saying that most atheists are full of hate. I’ve had bad experiences with atheists AND Christians alike. So there’s no right or wrong here. I was pointing out how quickly people can take that the wrong way and make a scene about it.

I don’t think they realize they are being close minded and hatful to those that do believe,

Many atheists once did believe. I think some theists forget that when discussing religion and theological issues. They are often not talking with people who have been raised as atheists, but people who were raised as Christians, etc. and are quite familiar with the Bible, church dogma, and the way that theists think about the world. However, after long years of personal struggle and research, a shift away from religion occurred.

The point is, these people once had an open mind toward religion, but a closed mind toward other worldviews. I don’t think saying we are “closed minded” is a fair assessment, considering. In fact, it’s an open mind that led away from religion.

There are extreme Christians on this site that do the same thing. Also, I dont know of that many atheist on this site who attack others unless they have been attacked first by people telling them they are stupid, wrong, going to hell, etc.

Religion is a touchy subject - from every angle. You can’t just say that the atheist are all rude and full of hate - because that in itself is wrong - stereotyping - and hateful in itself.

Most of the time - they are not being rude at all. They are just pointing out evidence and scientific facts for the silly things that are being said or questioned - that’s not rude at all. It’s called debating - and there is nothing wrong with that. People only get upset when they have nothing to say back to them that makes sense.

Ok honestly, you are doing nothing but generalizing a HUGE group of people here - by a few users on a website’s rudeness. Enough.

MOST athiest - have no problem with anyone else’s religion. Religion is a personal thing. Of course there are some that go out of their way to prove you wrong - call you out - or be rude to you. There are also Christians that do that to us though - that does not mean that we come on this site asking Why All Christians Are Filled With Hate now do we… come on.

The reason why Christians attack Atheists was for the simple fact of them saying it was a “make believe character” Such as: (And I’ll quote I could no more have a vendetta against god than I could against the Easter bunny. Either would be silly and futile.)

That would trigger a chain reaction and cause Christians to retaliate.

I do agree, Religion IS a touchy subject. There will be no peace between either groups. It’s almost like racism.

I call out atheist because I assumed that they could provide me with an answer directly from the source. As I stated previously I know (well think) that when Christians “shove our religion down throats” they are acting out of frustration that people are denying something we are pretty sure is wholy good. (compare it to a frustrated parent whose kid wont eat their veggies) I made the title ATHEIST FULL OF HATE to catch attention so my question wouldn’t remain unanswered.

Your not breaking any rules yet… and your also allowed to speak your opinion. Although, I am allowed to speak mine right back and this is absolutely ridiculous. You can’t judge a group of people - by a few people on a website. Period.

If I had asked a question asking why Christian’s were full of hate when it comes to atheiest - you would have retaliated.

Also, WHY is it a CHOICE few decide to trash on Atheist as well? Look on the other side of things and realize that your religion is not the ONLY religion that goes through this.

This question was silly - and I have the right to point that out.

I am not judging all atheist. That is why I made sure I added the word most then A CHOICE FEW. I am just trying to figure out why people have hosility against Christianity. I am not with the Christians that show hostility towards atheist because I believe everyone has to choose their paths for themselves. However, I can understand why they do, I assume it is out of frustration. Since I am not atheist I dont know where you all are coming from with the hosility. Thats why I asked not to just make waves.

jimahl you dont have a belief to have reverence for you have disbelief thats different. I didnt say that atheist had a vendetta I asked if they did. hell I dont know what is going on in others head. I have atheist friends. They know how I feel about God so we agree to disagree. They dont call God silly. And I do believe you all are full of hate and contempt. If I dont have an opinion in something I dont go around trying to talk bad about people who do. The fact that you all make it a point to down talk God lets me know that you have issues…

“mandyloo I didnt say that you had to be Christian to have morals. Thats good that you have Christians in your life. I’m glad you haven’t seperated yourself completely from Christians. “

Do you not see how arrogant this sounds? You make it sound like atheists are one single homogenous group that ostricizes anyone who doesn’t agree with them. I don’t know one atheist who has separated themselves from christians. I happen to be married to one.

I am with you dvdyslivb, Some are quick to defend their beliefs, however they are quick to call the bible “rubish” and a “bad story” oh and I love this one “bible thumpers” I don’t think they realize they are being close minded and hatful to those that do believe, Oh but you can be sure that they feel offended right away when the shoe is on the other foot, I know what you are trying to ask on this question. However I am afraid you will not get the answer you are looking for. Some just don’t realize when they are hurting others, they just view there opinion as “right” and everything else is crap.

re·li·gion (rĭ-lĭj’ən) Pronunciation Key
n.

1.Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. 2.A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. 3.A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

Now how is atheism a religion Mandy?

“Even if you dont believe in a God you are missing out on a lot of good people with good morals.”

If I say a group of people have good morals its not saying that all others dont. That is what YOU took it for maybe because you are on the defensive but NO it is not what it implies.

It is good that Christians are in your life not because you do or dont speak about religion it is because you haven’t barred a group of people out of your life just because they believe in the One True God…

I do have to say though - in the forum Science and Religion - mrs’s you were out of line. No one was bashing a religion - they were just saying that there is no proof that Naohs arc existed, was found, or that there was a big flood. That was all rumors. People telling facts and proof is not bashing other’s religions - and then you jump in there saying everyone was being rude and hateful our of nowhere.

dvdysljvb, please define “trashing god”, or give some examples that you have seen?

Fools! The eastern bunny will eat your souls for this arrogant blasphemy!

once again… I put a “mean” title on. Im sorry if I hurt someones feelings.

Amen mandyloo…

that is real big of you

and I also stated where I saw some inflammatory statements…earlier in the forum…thank you…

T M I !!!

I’m sorry but you can say other people are rude all you want. You are the one who titled a question :Athiest Full Of Hate and have also asked questions about homosexuals that were pretty rude also.

We have the rights to our opinions and out freedom of speech just as much as you do. If we want to say there is no God - so what. You feel you have the right to say there is one - so why don’t we have the right to say there isn’t one? You need to start looking at things from both sides - and not just yours.

You yourself have never said those things - I never said that you did. I said that SOME Christians on this site do - just as SOME athiest on this site say things that are rude also. See why we got upset now? Your generalizing and it’s not right. If you really wanted an honest opinion and no BS, you should have worded your question differently instead of implying that all athiest are full of hate.

This site is all about exchanging opinions, points of view…advice. The presentation of that advice may often be blunt, frank, open and honest. That doesn’t mean it’s hateful. I’ve seen this in many other categories, such as Music, Love & Relationships, Politics, Beauty & Style, etc. In a category like Religion & Spirituality, where people are often discussing matters more important to them than anything else, disagreement can often be perceived as outright hostility.

Also keep in mind that on matters of religion, most people simply don’t respect the beliefs of others. Most Christians I’ve met here or elsewhere balk at atheism, and I openly admit that most religious beliefs are laughable to me. Hatred…no. I don’t really hate anybody. However, for the most part, I think discussion here has remained civil, despite these differences. These advisors tend to shut it down if it’s not.
