are we being too hard on the christians?

Question

i mean, i know it's easy to make fun of them with their "mythological logic" but shouldn't we at least try to be nice to them when they post questions like

Evolutionists: What about the the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum?

at least they're trying to use science, even if they don't understand it.

(and i'm not referring to the christians who have intelligent Q & A's)

what do you say, can you try to be nicer?

Answer 1

I want to try and be nicer. I am a Christian. They are just so mean and condemning. It pushes me away from my own faith. I just don't understand it. Why is Christianity filled with so much hate? To be a Christian does not mean you have to live by the Bible and do all it says and do what other Christians say you should do. I am at such a loss with the terrible judgemental ones. I want to say NO be nice to them, but yet part of me wants to be as mean as possible. I guess I need to be the bigger person. They obviously can't. Even though I am pretty the Bible tells them to be. They pick and choose what they do and don't believe so it doesn't really matter.

Answer 2

Many of us try. Unfoturnately, all too often it seems like you are trying to reason with a parrot who can say big words but has no idea what they mean. I really wonder if the Angular Momentum dude will even bother to read through the answers any more than the Second Law of Thermodynamics crowd bothers to read through theirs.



If it makes you feel better, I'll try and refer to the christian myth as an angelic tale rather than a fairy tale.

Answer 3

No...I will refrain from shouting "HERETIC!" at passing Christians, (none of them follow or even UNDERSTAND their own laws,) and demanding that they become Existentialists, or forever burn in Arizona...I won't tell the elderly that "there's no heaven, they've been lying to you for 77 years," because there's no point beyond malice...



However, if someone is posting a question (questioning denotes a desire for enlightenment, and permits me to speak the facts as I see them without fear of offending anyone's sensibilities,) on this site then I feel that it is my RESPONSIBILITY to try and convince them of the fact that Christianity has had its day in the sun and is now doing nothing but paving the way to the UTTER AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE HUMAN RACE!



Christianity has been the banner raised to justify torture, murder, war, oppression and the propagation of ignorance...



Christians are perfectly happy to "leave it in God's hands," and wait for the Apocalypse...Well, some of us would rather AVOID OUR OWN EXTINCTION and start taking responsibility for our lives...You could understand why if you'd look around and see WHAT A BANG UP JOB GOD'S DOING WITH THE WORLD TODAY...Good ol' God, watching over us, telling us how much he loves us and needs our money...Handing out debilitating birth defects on the one hand, and demanding the deaths of perfectly healthy abortion doctors on the other...



Christians ARE PARASITES...I don't care what anyone says, Christianity is A DISEASE of the mind and the only cure is KNOWLEDGE...



All you have to do to cure a Christian is make him ACTUALLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE...Theologans don't count, after all, they're getting paid...

Answer 4

I am a believer and not only should we be nice to Christians, but we all should be kind to everyone even if they don't have a belief. If one chooses to answer someones question who's question is intolerable, then that's their choice to do so. We are all here to understand each other, but people should not ask questions if they think they already know the answer. Ask questions with politeness and treat others how you would want to be treated. Everyone has different questions and answers in Yahoo, just be nice about stating your opinions or answers.



It would be so much better that way! My opinion though.

Answer 5

It can often be hard to tell whether a user is a Christian who has heard an argument and wants to honestly see the non-Christian opinion, and when you have an arrogant fundie who thinks that an argument that has been refuted by people multiple times can just stop the "evil heathens" cold, and will condem us, then completely ignore whatever we say, but I agree that unless you know that the latter is the case, it's best to be polite to them.

Answer 6

Yes, I think "we" are. I assume "we" are people who do not like the new breed of Christian that loves to tell us how the world will end very soon and it would be AOK for Israel to drop an atomic bomb on palestine.



So, if that is "we" I think perhaps we could try a little genuine love. When they say to us "you need to be saved" we might answer, "Perhaps you are right. But why did you say that to me? Did I do something terrible in my past life?"



Get them thinking. These are not stupid people. In fact many of them are doctors and lawyers and just plain smart people. Somehow they became mesmerized by the teaching of men and fell away from the teachings of Jesus Christ.



Let's try to be sociable. I know it is difficult. Sometimes I just want to get a 2x4 and whack people, but that is not the answer.



Think Gandhi and Jesus.

Answer 7

Did ya ever hear the story of the three blind men and the Elephant? Amusing isn't it their own ideas were truth to them.

It amazes me that many believe science has all the answers when science itself admits it's knowledge is limited. Can any scientist explain what caused the big bang? Man's knowledge is limited. All scientific fact can do only takes us to the point of a greater question. Those who love the truth know that it is beyond man's finite understanding and through faith God reveals his truth.

Answer 8

I think we're being just as hard on them as we ought to be. The question you posed as an example is an oddity and you know it as well as I do. Most god-believer questions are about the details of bible scripture and which church to join if "blah blah blah."



I haven't seen an alarming amout of unfairness directed in response to god-believer questions when the questions posted for believers are of substance, and although there are a great deal of tongue- in-cheek questions being fired at the believers, some rather crude and others merely annoying, the perponderence of non-believer questions are intellectual in nature and appear to be asked for the obvious purpose of evoking some degree of honesty and reason from Muslims, Jews, Christians and others who are to often so entrenched in their particular fantasy-belief that they seldom respond in kind.



I say, keep on keepin' on...

Answer 9

It is all about Good vs Evil my Dear. We Christians already understand how you non believers are doomed. We do pity you. The reason we preach, we would love for you devil worshipers to see the truth and that God is the only way to live and die. You sound like a very intelligent heartless person. Do not worry God loves you too.

God forgives stupid people

Peace out!

Answer 10

I'm nice to those Christians who are smart





but, not those idiots, like that guy that posted about angular momentum

Answer 11

Actually, it's those pseudo-intellectual "questions" that are the worst form of intellectual fraud. They get people to believe there is a "scientific" explanation, though it's really mumbo-jumbo or a gross misrepresentation.



So, I'm gonna say no on that one. It's just regurgitation anyway.

Answer 12

Well, I don't think you are being too hard on Christians. After all, you are the ones foolish enough to think that mocking the beliefs of others is an intelligent thing to do. Speaking of intelligent questions...where is your intelligent question? This ranting on your part certainly doesn't qualify as one.

Answer 13

Most religions have an ancient mythology. Without using the word evolution can you explain the platypus to me? Was your mother a platypus? How do you know your mother wasn't a platypus huh huh? Platyphobe!

Answer 14

I didn't think I was being rude. I would think they would have people be a lot harder on them if they posted questions like that in the science category.

Answer 15

For some reason, most of their questions tend to sound like there's an ulterior motive. If they were motivated by curiosity or thoughtfulness, I'd probably be nicer.

Answer 16

I would if there weren't entire schools of apologetics based on this kind of Crap Logic®.



Go to sermonaudio.com and look up Kenny Rhodes for a sample of the kind of mental contorsions that people are taught.

Answer 17

sniff...sniff...what do you mean...i don't know science? Well, I guess I still have a lot to learn since I just finished 9th grade...



Hey, I like your idea of being nicer to me and the rest of us. Thanx!

Answer 18

US Christians deserve the same amount of respect as anyone with a religion. Just because ours may seem different to yall doesn't make it wrong. You don't have to believe in God. Just have respect for those of us that DO.

Answer 19

Im a christan, here.. if you can disprove ANYTHING in the bible.. tell me and ill be sure to give up on life ok ? saying the world came from one cell floting around is just as crazy as saying that somthing with real power made us .

Answer 20

Yes, you guys should be. We just trying to do our own thing and you guys go and make fun of us all the time. We don't hate you, because well all know that you are the ones that are hating. Cut us some slack and leave us alone. We didn't do anything to you guys..

Answer 21

I am perfectly nice and reasonable as long as the question is. But the repeat questions deserve smart *** answers. I can't help myself.

Answer 22

i dont think we can or have the right judge or make fun of what the next person believs in thats what makes us all different

Answer 23

I'm generally more of the sarcastic, biting type....I never respond with hatred and wrath.

Answer 24

Um, I'll be nicer when they stop bombing abortion clinics, beating gays in the street and poisoning our country and the world with their hate.

Answer 25

Some of the Christians here bring it on themselves.



Many of them are nice. A select few are condescending pricks whose comments and efforts are incredibly counterproductive to their "mission of love and peace". They use God as a weapon, not a place of spirituality.

Answer 26

I don't think I'm particularly rude, but actually, no, that question was not from someone who was trying to understand anything.

Answer 27

Thank you, I wish more of us Christians could think like that.

Answer 28

How nice of you to want to be nicer to us "stupid" Christians. Obviously, in your great intelligence you don't know what a creationalist is and that we are not all creationalists.

Answer 29

rofl, yeah that was a good one.

Poor boy doesn't even know what momentum is.

Answer 30

lol, that one was way too easy.



When christians try to be "scientific" they are just asking for it

Answer 31

Nice is as nice does.

Answer 32

I'm as nice to them as they are to me.

Answer 33

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer...



Sincere questions will be answered sincerely...

Answer 34

"Gerl Christians make ME hard...!" (blush)

Answer 35

are we being too hard on the athiests?

Answer 36

Answer 37

Answer 38

We pray for you.
