why are Atheists so mean to Christians?

Question

first of all i'd like to say if a Christian was being mean to you ever then he wasn't even a true Christian because it says in the bible to treat EVERYONE with love so don't say they are doing the same to you and also if they show up to your door and stalk you they aren't Christians either. I try to tell people the good new but they make fun of me and make mean comments. I'm not a terrorist and i don't try to force Religion onto people I just say something to them and then leave I don't annoy them for hours trying to force them to listen to what I say and I don't hate gay people. We are trying to do something good for you because we DON'T hate you and we really ant you guys to be happy forever. before you comment just remember I still love you like a brother

Answer 1

"he wasn't even a true Christian because it says in the bible to treat EVERYONE with love" Nice No True Scotsman fallacy. Your Bible even claims that god hates certain groups of people. Saying that a Christian isn't a Christian if they are mean is absolutely wrong.

"if they show up to your door and stalk you they aren't Christians either." Someone from every major denomination (and some non-denominational groups) have called at my door asking me to join their congregation. By your logic, that means there are no true Christians at all.

Answer 2

How can you say you love me like a brother? You don't know me and never will. Why are we treated poorly by christians? They are so rotten and hateful to anyone that doesn't believe what is in their dusty old book, yet they want nothing but the utmost respect from everybody. When they don't get what they want they whine and cry and try to put up laws against us. I have no good reason to respect religion or what it does to people's minds. You sound like a nice person but you have no idea what non christians put up with from you guys.

Answer 3

Same can be said in reverse and it's a cop out to say people are not Christians just because you don't like something they do, they are.

In response to your footnote, not many people actually hate Christians, you just annoy people with comments like that and you haven't even paid attention to what people are saying here or you wouldn't have added that.

Answer 4

"if a Christian was being mean to you ever then he wasn't even a true Christian"

Ah, the good old No True Scotsman fallacy. Never gets old with you guys.

Answer 5

They hate God and would like to kill him, but can't, so they attack God's people instead.



John 15:18-19 (KJV)

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Answer 6

Maybe because they don't follow a God that says to love others and treat people with genuine respect and kindness.

Answer 7

The truth hurts.

Answer 8

Well, we Christians aren't famous for our open-mindedness either...

Answer 9

Mean atheists aren't real atheists.



There, we can both play that game.
