Object:	Why are Athiest so angry at Christians?

I'm just curious why some of the atheists on this site are so angry
with Christians ? If I was an atheist, I don't think I would think
twice about Christians except maybe to have pity on them for believing
something that I didn't think was true.

*One* of the reasons is that they are forever trying to impose their
ridiculous beliefs on others -- especially vulnerable children. Another is
the 'Christian' refusal to look at the 'facts' surrounding their beliefs
squarely in the face. They believe the most outlandish and preposterous
things to be true without conceding that they just *may* be wrong, one bit.
Try this test:
Have an atheist and a Jesus junkie meet in front of you. Tell the atheist
that the videotape you are about to hand him contains some absolute,
no-doubt-about-it 'proof' that 'God' does indeed exist. (Now this is a
hypothetical scenario. So the 'videotape' *does* contain proof that 'God'
does, indeed, exist -- for hypothetical purposes.) Now you ask the atheist
(with the Jesus person stepping away for a bit) to put the videotape in the
tape machine next to you and watch the video to its conclusion -- and away
from the prying eyes and ears of the Jesus junkie.) Guess what'll happen?
The atheist will watch that videotape without any qualms. He or she will be
curious as to what form this 'proof' will be composed of.
Now go to the 'God person' and tell *that* individual that the videotape
contains (hypothetical) 'proof-positive's, no-doubt-about-it, unassailable
proof that there isn't a 'God'. Guess what'll happen? Go ahead and tell me
what that JW or some other bible humper will do? That's right! He or she
will absolutely *refuse* to look at it. (And later that day, go and preach
Jehovah or the 'Lord' to some unfortunate who happens to cross their path.)
*That* kind of ignorance upsets me greatly. Their condescending, ignorant
manner and refusal to accept that they just *may* be wrong is what gets my
blood boiling. But above all, it's their hypocrisy that does it for me. They
are often a haughty, ignorant lot. And I'm paying the price for it out here.
Believe you *me*, I am.

Athiests impose their beliefs on others as well. If someone believes
that have something of value to say, that should not cause someone to
be angry.
Most Christians are willing to look at the facts, but when you are
talking about something that happened 2000 years ago, you are not going
to find a lot of hard physical evidence. That is why we have to use
writings of eye witness accounts to fill in the gaps.
I would be glad to watch your (hypothetical) video tape with proof that
God does not exist. I would even be willing to entertain the idea that
my beliefs might be wrong. If my beliefs are wrong and I lived a good
life for no reason, nothing lost. But if the Athiest is wrong and has
never accepted Jesus, he has lost his eternal soul.

I can see now why you could get angry. Thank you for your point of

I think that is an assertion that needs to be checked.
If a allmighty God wants me to believe in him then I will.
I don't so he doesn't
If an Allmighty God does not want me to believe in him,
why should I lose anything by not doing what he doesn't want me to?
There is loads of physical evidence that the bible is giving a false
account.
(starlight coming from billions of lightyears away, dynasours bones,
about everything to make one believe in evolution over billions of
years,
rather than in creation about 6000 years ago)
To produce that evidence one would need to be allmighty or close to it.
To produce a bibke one only has to be able to write.
or to have a friend that can do it for you.
So if the physical evidence was produced by the allmighty,
and the bible could have been produced by about anyone,
what risk do I take in believing the allmighty in stead of anyone?
OK my reasoning does not hold, if there is no allmighty,
but so does yours.

What makes you think that it is either accepting Jesus or being an
atheist? If you have chosen the wrong god, perhaps the real one is mad
at you; after all there are thousands to choose from. In any event it
says a lot about Christian morality that it teaches that a person
would be punished for an honest opinion.

If there is a jealous god that is not the hypothetical one
one you pray to, and there is after-death punishment for
unsupportable belief, you may be in more trouble than an
atheist who is honest enough to not believe in the absence
of evidence of this actual, jealous god. You imagine that
your hypothetical god is the only possibility in the
infinite unknown.
Abject belief in the absence of evidence is simply
dishonest. You may have to pay for your dishonesty.

You equate "accepting Jesus" with "living a good life".
Why?
Christians tell me all the time: you can't get into Heaven by being a
good person. Morality has nothing to do with salvation.
....right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Because too often, Christians forget this. Christians make the mistake
that you just made, assuming that Christianity means "being good" and
everyone else is therefore "being bad".
And then it's a small step from "unbelievers are evil",
to "unbelievers deserve Hell",
to "unbelievers deserve death",
to "God wants me to kill unbelievers."
....and then you crash planes into buildings.
I'm not angry at Christians. I'm angry at anyone who would abandon
their own conscience for a chance at some selfish reward in Heaven, and
still call it "living a good life".

Sure.
When they try and *legislate* that their beliefs are mandatory then it
is time to stand up and fight.

I am pretty sure there are no writings of eye witness accounts.
I am open to being convinced of course.

Dont have proof that God doesnt exist - dont need it.

I dont have an eternal soul - so I have no fear of loosing it.

Wrong. The failures of the bible and other sacred text in the area of
objective evidence is well documented, and ignored by the xtians. You
also must understand, xtians are not alone in the arena of willfully
ignoring facts. Muslims, Hindus, and others fall into the same
category when it comes to ignoring what is painfully clear.

Pascal's Wager does not work. One, prove that there is a soul. So far
no one seems to be able to do that.
Two, what if you picked the wrong god to follow?

Can you please give some examples of this? And can you please
spell "atheist" correctly -- otherwise it'll look like you're trying to
deliberately annoy and disrespect atheists.

Most Christians are willing to look at the facts, but when you are
talking about something that happened 2000 years ago, you are not going
to find a lot of hard physical evidence.

Which means that you don't have much basis for a belief. The problem is
starting with a belief and then looking for evidence, rather that basing
one's beliefs on available evidence.

That is why we have to use writings of eye witness accounts to fill in the
gaps.

Many have claimed such sources here on alt.atheism, but haven't been able to
provide them when asked. What sources, specifically, are you referring to?

I would be glad to watch your (hypothetical) video tape with proof that
God does not exist.

Here's where you finally reveal that you're either ill-informed or just
plain dishonest. This is a fundamental logical fallacy, as I'm sure you're
well aware.

I would even be willing to entertain the idea that
my beliefs might be wrong. If my beliefs are wrong and I lived a good
life for no reason, nothing lost.

Other than all the time and effort you've wasted on wrong things...

But if the Athiest is wrong and has
never accepted Jesus, he has lost his eternal soul.

Wow, what a clever argument! A so new and shiny! You've certainly convinced

And please... don't make the arrogant mistake so many Christians make
of trying to tell an atheist he's wrong about what atheism is. You
don't get to make that call. We don't presume to tell Christians what
they really believe. Don't presume to tell us what we believe.

What "eye witness accounts?" The earliest gospels date to at least
thirty years *after* the (alleged) fact, and there is no real evidence
that they were actually written by the men to whom they've been
attributed, or that those men ever actually existed.

IRL, I go months at a time without the subject of religion even coming
up. It would be nice to just be able to talk to fellow atheists on
a.a. without the Christians (and the Moslems, and assorted theists of
other flavors) butting in, but we can't seem to make them stop.

He'd think twice if he had to endure the barrage we get.

The almost continuous barrage of insults and dogmatic threats of
hellfire and damnation that they throw at us daily. Tends to wear on
one's nerves after a while. Multiply that with the regular
condescending comments of their superiority as they like to try and
"talk down to you sinners", and you start to understand why some of us
loose our temper from time to time.
Then, there is the issue that many of us have very little tolerance for
ignorance. Especially the willful ignorance shown by some of our
regular theistic posters. Then there are those few self professed
fundies, that are just down right mean for the sake of being mean.
And don't think the xtian fundies are the only ones that I and others
get pissed at. Muslims fair no better when they pull their ***** here as
well. Nor do Hindus or new agers.
Polite conversation is greeted with polite conversation. But, come in
here and post with a chip on your shoulder, and we can give as good as
we get, some times even better.

Evidently, you are not often bothered by believers (door to
door missionaries, TV advertising, intrusion into
governmental functions, etc.). Lucky you.
If Christians (or any other flavor of believer in
hypothetical deities) kept their religion to themselves, it
would never occur to me to think about religion,
hypothetical deities or believers in such. But they don't.

I'm not angry with Christians in general. The friendly neighbourhood
parishioners are generally a benign presence and if they want to spend
their Sundays singing in an overcomplicated building, I have no problem
with that. I do, however, have a problem when I am not allowed to see
or read something simply because their book of magic says I shouldn't
or when my children have significant areas of their education blocked
because some aspects of reality don't conform to the mythology.

Quickly because I'm working, how about the following:
waking me up at 9:30 on a sunday morning because they really, really
want to talk to me
yelling at me when I go shopping in the market on a saturday
I generally object to people being shot and blown up for doing their
jobs and their families harassed
equally I object to parties at the olynpic games having bombs placed at
the event
I object to groups of people having a tax advantage just because they
belong to a state approved group
how's that to be going on with?

In alt.atheism On 30 Nov 2006 00:46:15 -0800,

let us all know that:

I'm just curious why some of the atheists on this site are so angry
with Christians ?

They aren't.
Any more stupid questions?

I don't bash Christians. I just bash the big fuckheads who say stupid,
superstitious nonsense and expect reasoning people to accept it without
question. If you're not such a person, then you have nothing to fear
from me. M'kay?
