As an atheist, I have much more respect for Jews than Christians. What about you?

Question

Tedi Lee - obviously, YOU don't care. So why are you answering??

Answer 1

at least jews can say their religion isn't copied off another.  At least jews didn't try to one up the other groups god.  At least jews have a more realistic view of religion and faith - i can go on and on

Answer 2

I respect individuals, not groups.

Answer 3

That seems pretty accurate in my experience as well.

It's the constant proselytizing that christians do that is a real pain.

Answer 4

Same here.

Answer 5

I do have more respect for the Jewish religion than Christianity.  I have never had a Jewish person try to convert me or try to convince me my views are wrong.  

Answer 6

Depends completely on the Jew/Christian. I'd prefer Desmond Tutu over Henry Kissinger any day, and Jon Stewart over Fred Phelps. What's a man's supposed religion got to do with anything?

Answer 7

What are you trying to do ? Spark up hatred between the Jews and Christians ? don't bother, we respect each other.

Its you lot that we have to contend with.

Answer 8

How do you know what they think?

You don't know what someone thinks by only listening to what they say.

I don't give anybody any respect unless they earn it.

Answer 9

I have a good bit of respect for almost all faiths except those who are horribly abraisive (evangelical/fundamentalist) or harass me constantly (lds/jw).  Most christians are good people who don't run around screaming "YOU'RE GOING TO h**l!!1!11!!!!", you just hear the idiots because they're so loud... like westboro baptist church, they're the #1 idiots I have real issues with.

Answer 10

Exactly.

Answer 11

As a Christian I respect everyone, even those I disagree with. Most Christians are like me.  

Answer 12

Both ideas are silly.

Answer 13

I have respect for anyone who respects the fact that everyone thinks differently and have different views on religion!  Most of these people happen to be Jewish!   Not all Christians are wankers, just the crazy American fundies!

Answer 14

I think it's great  you have respect for whomever or whatever, respect is a good quality in a human being.  I try to rise above it, but I'm afraid I'm contemptuous of all religion -- stupid antiquated mind and control games brought to you by the same people that brought you the Auto da Fe.  On the subject of torture, I would agree with you that those that espouse eternal torment are even more contemptible, in my opinion.

Answer 15

I agree. I've met some really cool religious Jews. Never met a 'serious' religious Christian (met a lot of cool half-*** Christians, mind) who wasn't a d**k.  

Answer 16

Not really! Many jews are no better than fundie christians. Just give them some power.

Answer 17

I'm sure the Jews will be really happy to hear your thoughts.

Answer 18

I have respect for both since I am not and atheist who am I, or you to judge that is 'God's' job on judgment which we all be judged including you.

Answer 19

who cares?

Answer 20

When it comes to moderate Christians and moderate Jews, I don't think there is any difference. But when it comes to the extremeists of both parties, I agree with you.

Answer 21

That's quite a generalization considering you know a very small percentage of the Christian population.  That would be like me saying atheists are hateful people with no respect for any opinion that differs from theirs.  That's certainly true of the majority on here but this is such a small section of even the atheist population that  it's not an accurate gauge to use for atheists in general.

Answer 22

I consider myself a Christian and I agree with you, besides Jews are not going around trying to force their beliefs on anyone.
