Question:

Does non-Christian=atheist in this section?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I posted a couple of questions this morning that said that I wasn't Christian, and got several answers complaining about "you atheists."

It so happens that I'm not atheist, but so what if I was? Are atheists suddenly not supposed to ask questions here?

And are there so few people around who are neither Christian nor atheist that people should automatically jump to that conclusion?

Is there some sort of Evangelical Christian-Atheist feud going on here?

  1. Christianity forbids level 4 magic duhh!


  2. Just by saying that you are not Christian you have lowered their opinion of you.  They become judgemental and insulting.  

    Yes their is a friendly feud going on between Christians and atheists, and their always will be until Christians stop trying to rule us.

  3. You have to specify your religious affiliation if you want to be properly ridiculed.  

  4. they are against anyone who isnt them,you should check out the work place....if they have more than a few buddies they will get you fired if you dont go to the bible study.

  5. Not for me it doesn't.

    Maybe, but that hasn't been my experience.

    Sometimes I think that there is a feud going on.

  6. Everyone is an atheist with respect to one god or another.

  7. Answer: Not as long as you make it clear WHAT type of Non-Christian you are.  Of course if you are Jewish, Muslim or Pagan (including Wiccan) that can also prompt negative responses from a minority of the Christians on here.

  8. Maci, there is a problem with some people on this forum and I think that if you will stick around for just one month you'll see where the problem really is.

    For the most part Christians are behaving themselves and not out to attack anyone. It seem that the opposite isn't true. I have seen quite a few smart aleck remarks coming from the athiests. It's okay to say you don't believe in the Christian way. It's okay to quizz us on our beliefs. But it's not okay to call us names. Or to say you wish we were dead. Or that our religion would just vanish. I've seen some real bad posts by the athiests on here.

      

  9. Nope.  There are Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists here, to name a few.

  10. You must be new here...

  11. That's a really good point.  I say that because i agree with you :-)  .  There's a lot of polarisation here which i think happens when people are confrontational.  These are strongly-felt issues and most people at least present themselves as falling into one of those two categories.  It's probably partly due to the nature of the internet as well.

  12. Those were the Christian Chauvinists (not all Christians). They assume that anyone that is not a Christian (specifically their flavor of Christian) is a devil worshiper and an atheist.

    They are not the only ones who suffer from it, but they are the most common. I have seen quite a few Secular Atheists that assume that all theist are worshipers of the god of Abraham who have deluded themeselves into taking a bronze age book literally.

  13. Any non-Christian is an atheist to the Christian faith.

    Christians and all non-Hindus are atheists to Hinduism 10,000 times over.

    Atheist

  14. Fundies call me an atheist all the time.  The only explanation I can see is that EVERYONE who does not believe in the Abrahamic monster must be an atheist.

  15. If you were being snarky or not; that usually makes the difference.

  16. Some people think so just as some think non-atheist=Christian

  17. I don't know, but I'm non christian and non athiest as well....just like you :)

    Take Care.  

  18. Lol! Really? People are to mean here.  

  19. some christians think you either believe in jesus or or a godless satan worshiper i said some not all  

  20. Usually, unless someone is fighting over Islam.

  21. it certainly does. Their god and their belief, are THE only god and THE only belief, end of story.

    Alos, the christians in this section are the only ones who are allowed an opinion, and also, have the only right to be in this section.

  22. By a lot of ignorant people, yes non-believer means atheist.

  23. lol feud lol

    Anyone can ask questions  

  24. they are rude and just assume stuff.

    im an atheist.. and I could care less about what anyone says about me.
