Question to atheist, agnostics, and nonbelievers in general.?

Question

Why do you spend so much time on this forum (not that I mind and not that I want you to leave) bashing Christians and their beliefs? Let me explain where I am coming from with this question. First if you dont believe, then why not just leave it at that? Ok so maybe some Christians witness to others in ways that seem like they are trying to shove it down your throat, but if that is the case why not be the more mature one and just go on and let it go in one ear and out the other. Dont get me wrong, I know first hand how annoying it gets when someone insist on shoving something in your face that you dont care about. But it seems to me like you come here wanting to get it shoved in your face, otherwise you wouldnt spend so much time on this forum. Secondly I would like to ask, do two wrongs make a right? If someone is shoving their beliefs down your throat, how are you making matters any better by doing the exact same thing to Christians? What I am getting at is this, if you hate being preached to all the time, then why even bother coming on a religion forum? If you are here to simply bash and ridicule Christians then you are only making them that much more right about what they say about you. As I said previously I dont mind you being here at all, because I know that as long as you are here, like it or not you are going to read the word of God from at least some of the people on here. I just simply want to know what compells you to waste so much of your time on this topic forum?

Answer 1

Many questions, like yours, are directed to atheists.  The people seem to be searching.  We're here to help.

Answer 2

Look, this is a forum to DISCUSS R&S issues. Just as the cat section isn't limited to cats, nor the political section limited to politicians, the R&S section is not limited to JUST ONE SIDE of the topic.

Further, its NOT atheists trying to push our views into the PUBLIC sector of our societies. So, until YOUR SIDE STOPS doing that, you are in absolutely no position to complain about alleged twigs in our eyes, while you have a full forest in yours.

Beyond that, our views, unlike yours, have facts, reason and evidence on our side. Deal with that Truth.  

Answer 3

*drink*

Answer 4

They love to fight, and they are bored just spending all of their time in their Mom's basement.  

Answer 5

"Why do you spend so much time on this forum"

I enjoy talking about this subject. Additionally, questions like these are funny.

"bashing Christians and their beliefs?"

I question the beliefs of people of all faiths, not just Christians.

If that's "bashing" in your mind, you need thicker skin.

Answer 6

I spend "so much time on this forum" because what some Christians do to or think about science and politics is appalling and they should be stopped.  I try not to "knock" Christians and their beliefs...I used to be one.

It is, however, an open forum.  If you can't take a little criticism, it may not be the place for you.

Answer 7

This is not called the Christian Forum, it is called Religion and Spirituality. That should be enough to satisfy you but it probably won't.

Religion and Spirituality encompasses much much more than just Christianity.

Answer 8

Do I have to read all of that ion order to have a *drink*? Or can I just presume that I should have a *drink* based on the first line or two?

Answer 9

You started it =[.

Answer 10

I spend some time, not really alot, here because I am bored.

I don't bash...sometimes I play in jest but I can take what I dish.

I don't hate Christianity, it's just not for me. I only really, truly dislike those certain Christians- and we all know the type. The ones that think I have no morals, and think they have the right to nose their beliefs into the government.

And actually, in all fairness, I go to some other forums too and see plenty of Christians putting religion into places it really wasn't asked to belong in.

You guys don't annoy me, I am too laid back for that...

Answer 11

It's fun

Answer 12

I come here to discuss spirituality and wonder why the religious bother coming here since they are too distracted by dogma to experience it.

"Hate the religions, not the religious."

Answer 13

Paragraphs are your friend.

Answer 14

Some of you, realizing or not, are closet atheists.

My motivation is to influence them.

Answer 15

Stop preaching to me. Reading this is causing my eyes to melt.
