Are atheists more intolerant of Christians on R & S? Or vice versa?

Question

Conducting my own personal poll on R & S - who is more likely to report? Atheists on Christians? Or Christians on atheists?

What is your personal experience based on your beliefs or non-beliefs? Thanks!

Answer 1

Oh, this is a no brainer.  All the atheists on here are at least on their 3rd deleted account.

(Now that I look at this, my 5th "zombie" account, I see that I currently have 2 questions that have not been deleted.  The other 12 are greyed out.  They just haven't gotten around to deleting the first 2.)

Edit - That guy "Perry" down there has been blocked by most of the atheists on this site, as he is NOTORIOUS for reporting every atheist question he sees.  Look at him lying about it right there in front of us...

Answer 2

There is no intolerance of any kind on this site.

We need to use words appropriately.  What there is is a combination of insults, sarcasm and ridicule.   I'd say it's pretty equal on those.

Intolerance however is MUCH more serious, and exists in the US entirely in one direction imposed by Xians on non-Xians of all kinds.  Intolerance can only be demonstrated by those with power to withhold rights or opportunities, and in a 80%+ Christian country that's the culprit.

Answer 3

Polls are seldom an accurate representation. That's why the media always picks their favorite candidate as the winner.

Answer 4

I'm very intolerant of christians because I know fascism when I see it.

Answer 5

Ever since the internet was created people have taken advantage of the anonymity to spout off hateful comments that they don't have to take accountability for

Answer 6

Reporting is part of a Christian's genetic make up

Answer 7

Who knows, I am wary of personal experience as a measure of truth.

Answer 8

Check out the Christians' answers here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

And from what I've seen in about 2 years here, that's nearly typical. And I do think that Christians do a lot more reporting. Atheists go through accounts like they're going out of style.

Edit: I had forgotten all about that, (((RedQueen)))

You rock! ;D

Answer 9

(Whenever I have "R&S" in my question, it tries to put the question in the hockey section. Maybe R&S has some significance to hockey??)

Anyway, I think what it comes down to is who is more offended by people not believing as they do: atheists or Christians? I know that when I was a Christian and I came here, I was offended more by the fact that people didn't agree with me here than I was by anything they were saying.

I won't get into who reports more because all I have from others is hearsay... but I know who has reported me more, and that's religious people.

Answer 10

I don't report either unless they write offensive thing such as that fuzzdoo or something constantly about body things.

Answer 11

Just being honest here. 90 % of the people here are atheist, so your poll is, once again, going to be against Christians and Christianity.

I think by any objective standard, atheists have a hatred towards Christianity unlike anything I've ever seen. You would hope that they wouldn't have to be so personal in their hatred. Why can't we all just trust Jesus and live our lives with the word in our hearts?

Answer 12

I think it may be a toss up.  Disrespectful attitude and behavior along with ignorance seems to know no ideological boundaries.  

Answer 13

The wind blows both ways..

Answer 14

I think it goes both ways by times.  

Answer 15

Depends on who is on line at the time

Answer 16

I think that we Christians are more tolerable the of atheists because we have patience and sense. And I also think that the atheist are faster to report because they feel the need to take care of everything their self instead of letting God handle it, like we do.

Answer 17

Kitty, In my opinion, report monkeys come from both sides of the fence.  One of my R&S contacts pointed out a group here that stalks and reports her on a regular basis.  This group is made up of people of all faiths as well as Atheists.  I also believe a lot of the reporting is done by bored teens when school is out.  I have noticed the level of violations goes down when school is in session.

<=======Chicken is waving at all my R&S buds :)

Answer 18

((Jingles))

Actually the most tolerant people on here are the pagans, wiccan's and buddhists.  But that's just my observation.

Seems that there is a group from both sides that gives everyone else a bad name, and a bad taste in their mouths, so to speak.  Actually from my own experience as a Catholic, I find my fellow christians to be more intolerant than the Atheists.  Sorry folks, that's how it goes, when you d**n people to h**l for what they believe, or you call them part of a demonic or satanic church.  I do forgive them of their ignorance though.

I'm thinking that the intolerant, and vice versa might have something to do with hockey, especially when you consider how close versa is to versus.

Answer 19

Atheist here.

I've only ever reported one person, and that was over a year ago. A member by the name of Kentucky Joe was following Zilla around and answering every one of her questions with "Reported!"

It occurred to me that he was point gaming, so I sent him a message asking him to knock off the stalking or I'd start reporting him for such. He refused, I reported, and I haven't seen him since.

I'm all for free speech and accepting everyone, but blatant stalking can't be tolerated.

EDIT: Oh, ((((((ZILLA))))))) how could you possibly forget, lol? He was such a pain, and since it was before the blocking feature I fully expected him to start reporting *me* but he never did. Seems he just doesn't care much for giant lizards.

Answer 20

Fundies are the report trolls.

Answer 21

I have nothing against Atheists at all, however, it does annoy me when they try to mock us and try to find things that nullify our religion.

It's really quite sad, I hope that one day we will live in harmony, and be able to ask each other serious questions, without the need for sarcasm and petty jokes, you know, like actual civilised humans!

EDIT: I only ever report when there is use of threatening language, unneeded swearing and spamming... funnily enough, I have better things to be doing!

Answer 22

Me thinks it's just the humorless miserable self-righteous ignorami that report.... if the shoe fits.....  

Answer 23

I never report, but I get reported periodically.  

Answer 24

I don't know of any Atheists that report, unless it's borderline pornographic.

And you're in the Hockey section because Vice Versa was a Goalie for Moose Jaw in the 70's... :-)

Answer 25

Christians only exist in your mind.

God love you!

Answer 26

Somebody on this site is report-stalking me. (Shifty eyes)

That's a good sign. Means I'm important to them. Maybe they're secretly in love with me.

And yeah, for some reason some of my questions get defaulted to the hockey section. Usually that happens when I say 'R&S' in the question. Maybe that's a team?
