[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some religious people just want atheists to go away.[/quote]

Well when Christians try to share the good news with you, which is literally a central piece of our religious practice you get all offended. And obviously the same is true when your non-belief dictates that you should proselytize your atheism to convert others….so there will be a natural clash.
The difference is that [b]in my worldview, [/b]it is actually harmful to cause others to fall away from Christ. And in your worldview—it makes no difference whether someone believes or not because the result is the same.
So I just don’t understand the motivation on Team Atheist that causes you to agitate for sport.[/quote]

Can you understand that others are not interested in your worldview?  Your belief does not affect how others think or act.

With this forum though, it's kind of amazing that people post ABOUT atheists, and then get offended when atheists post.

OK but what about the questions like the one about helping kids sit through church where the atheists came in and just hijacked the thread with many (now deleted) posts that were simply attacking the OP and anyone who had the nerve to think that it was a good idea to have their children in church?

I don't attack atheists - friends or here - who think it's a good idea to teach their kids that God doesn't exist. It don't attack my Jewish friends for taking their kids to synagogue. I don't attack Muslim friends for taking their kids to the mosque.

This is what posters are so frustrated with. It's the non sequitur where somehow the minute it's Jesus we get "fairy tales, bronze aged god, blah blah blah." As someone upthread said, it's almost like the Bible passage about him being a stumbling block is true or something  :lol: .[/quote]
