Atheists who attack Christianity

Pay attention!

The necessity of human sacrifice is what Christianity is about.

Since birth control is a sin, something has to thin out the herd.

This is a provocative, troll post in the biggest degree, and I think you know that too

Not at all. When I posted it there were threads going that were bashing Christianity by atheists. I would say this thread has since brought the issue to light, which made things better for now.

By having these discussions we are better able to understand one another, hopefully eliminating some of the bigotry.

Also I don't believe this thread would have made it 64 pages and over 900 posts if it was based on a troll.

Christains are soclosed minded.. Is that critical enough for you?

Moths to the flame. You stir up Drama in the Name of God, and they flock to your church for the interactive entertainment of testimony, denial, and sturm und drang. It's nice to watch people who don't agree with each other help each other play games.

You got me there.

Which is curious, considering that human sacrifice was (and is) anathema to Jews.

Whilst I firmly believe that over 900 posts on this topic is a little excessive, especially when looking at the asburdly limited viewpoint of the opening message, the down-status of the grid gives me time to reflect.

Lets for a moment divide this world into segments, say about 6.6 billion of them. Each segment has a different idea, lets call that a belief, or what the heck, a religion. Now, lets cram each of these little segments of homo-sapienic life, which each of these little 'religion' ideas, onto a relatively small sphere, with just about room for all of them to live on. They can move around, interact, buy a small kitten, and shop where they like. When they interact, their ideas can change, from what they say, what they do, and what they hear.

Now lets introduce a little problem. I don't know, for the sake of it, lets release a small little group of nutcases, call them idiots, at random points of the sphere.

Now sit back, and watch.

Amusing, isn't it.

I want to buy a malt for every alt..

Actually, anyone who claims an entire group of people are closed-minded is close-minded.

Every religion attacks every other religion at some point and time in the history of the world. It is one reason why there are so many wars started and faught (Example: The Crusades). It is the reason why people move form place to place in order for them to gain so called peace in their own beliefs. (Examples: The Holocaust and the Pilgrams leaving England). After all in someone's eyes we are all infidels.

Honestly folks, do we need yet another discussion debating the ills and virtues of the opiate of the masses? I’m ok with other people’s religions, just as long as they don’t try to force it upon others. I have friends who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim (the big three), Zen Buddhist, Taoist, and Wicca (I know more Wicca than Taoists actually). Most of them get along.

I’m not one for being hateful but when I am confronted about my religion and the refuse to leave me alone, I kindly point out that incest (defined as sexual activity between two people who are considered, for moral and genetic reasons, too closely related to have such a relationship) with your own rib is not something I believe in and I was not put on this earth to pleasure men.

Good night and good luck.

Must protest there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the athiests have been pretty blame-free when it comes to starting religious wars...

Ah, and probably the buddhists.

Whether that's true are not has no bearing on this thread, since this thread has to do with atheists in this forum.

Well, not really... considering christianity by its own admission in a well editied book called the bible does not allow for open minded and certainly critical thinking... seems he was just stating a fact rather than being close minded.

But it gets to the heart of why athiests would "attack" christianity. Look at what christians have done over the centuries in the name of goD.

thats only if you are catholic

For you to even suggest all Christians agree as to what the Bible means or that all Christians even read the Bible literally shows your lack of knowledge and your bigotry.

Show me the Christians who are doing these evil things in the name of God please.

Sure, denying rights based on sexuality is evil (maybe not in the same degree as the mass murders committed in he past), the genocide that took place in the Balkans in the name of goD... the call for more abortion doctors to be murdered in the name of goD… the aids epidemic in Africa because of the teachings against contraceptions.... the stripping the rights of women based on NO SCIENCE and only ideology and rhetoric.... the condemnation of any religion that doesn't believe in some fairy tale of a resurrected jew... the daily brain washing of children… bombardment of innocent people who happens to believe in the same god just different teachings of... the list is endless... nothing good comes from christianity or nothing that I have found... human nature allows for the good not a doctrine.... so cut out the middle man, god and its spawn and we would cut out the majority of the problems that plague this world.

That is just too funny to respond to. Your assumptions show your bigotry.

I am curious as too how you arrived at that assumption.
I have read the Bible a few times, and haven't really noticed that yet...


Anyway, as a Christian, I have no problem with Atheists, there are many that are good, moral, intelligent people.
I do have a problem when for whatever reason, an Atheist or someone claiming too be one, decides that they must crusade (ironicly) for the removal of all religious, spiritual, or faith based influences in society and culture.
If it is being pressed on you (like an evangelist who won't let up on trying too convert you, for example) then you have a right to say that you don't want what they are offering.
But, again as an example, if a kid is wearing a cross too school, or a Burka, or similar apparel related to a faith, and you then bug out about religious influences being forced upon someone, you may just be overreacting.

It is entirely up too the individual to accept, deny, or ignore Religion, and God.
But I do take issue with those who would destroy it, out of vendetta, hate, fear, or misguided doctrine, just as I am opposed too those who would destroy a person's right too choose what they believe or disbelieve.


One last thing.
There are those who claim to be a thing, and those that are that thing.
An action carried out in the Name of God should not be confused with an action done in the Spirit of the Teachings of Christ.
Just because they do it, doesn't mean that God approves.
Think about how many wars and atrocities were done in the name of a Nation, or Political Party, or any group of people.
Those names, of groups, nations, or political parties, were convient covers for those horrible acts.

I'll shut up now...

I was just making a point on the person that I had quoted. I also normally do not reply on forums here because it keeps me out of trouble. Like someone else had stated, SL is down and this beginning of this post caught my eyes.

You are probably right about atheist and Buddhist can be blame-free about starting religious wars but I didnt call them out. I have my own religion, personally. There is no organized system for how or what I believe. Like some I have many different religious denominational friends. Wiccan, Pegan (in the Catholic Church eyes, anyone that is of the Protestant religion(S) is considered Pegans). I was raised Southern Baptist but that is not how I believe. I am also of Hebrew blood but I am not of the Jewish faith either.

Its just like in the US we have the White Supremacy Group, Skin Heads, Natzi, the KKK which have also tried to push their beliefs on others and have caused pain and death upon those who are different from them. Everywhere in the world there is some sort of group of people that think they are right about their belief or faith or the lack of. The point is that many people have died because of what they believe, look at Joan of Arc and, well Jesus Christ. Even some people believe that the Bible is a work of fiction interpreted by men whome left out all the part that they didn't like.

Okay, I'm done getting myself in trouble on here. Hope you all have a pleasant day and well this post has gotten a little old. If anyone wants to know the definitions of Atheist, Atheism or Protestant - you can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ and look them up. I was going to post the definitions here but then thought that it would not be a good thing.

Take care all.

Who Farted???
