None of the people who have written these comments is a true Christian. A true Christian would accept and love a person who sincerely did not believe in God. These people would bring tears to Jesusβ eyes. (To answer your unspoken question, I think there was a historical Jesus, but I reject the idea that he was divine.)
Some Athiests and people that are not fruitcakes may find the above comments to be highly offensive, disturbing, as well as hypocritical and morally reprehensible. But I think they are hilarious examples of why I would never want to be associated with any organised religion or followers of fundamentalist nuts... Even if I did believe in a god. Furthermore even if there was a Hell..these poor excuses for Human beings would be high up in the queue.
I like when they assume there's a leader of atheists somewhere giving us orders.
Most Protestant Christians don't buy into the teachings of Jesus. The Old Testament is what they love and it is chock full of hate and murder. It is an incredibly violent and hateful book.
Your first statement is untrue and was made without factual basis. Furthermore, by definition, anyone who fit your statement would not be Christian.
@Lostwax Do you not pay attention to what they say and what they do. My proof is my eyes and my ears. Just because someone claims to be a Christian doesn't mean they are a Christian. I have known a handful of Christians who walk the walk, my Grandmother was one of them. I respect those people. The rest of them seem to hang onto the Old Testament, which is a Jewish book, not a Christian book, to find justification for hatred, revenge, and persecution. βΊ
@Sticks48 You and I both know you donβt have statistics to back up your premise. Change βmostβ to βsomeβ and βThe rest of themβ to othersβ and I will stop giving you a hard time. It always bothers me when people make blanket statements based on their own personal observations, as those observations may leave a strong impression, but they certainly donβt constitute a statistical sample. I know a very large number of Christians who DONβT βhang on to the Old Testament.β Nevertheless, it would be incorrect of me to say that βmostβ Christians donβt pay much attention to the Old Testament, because I simply donβt have enough data to back that statement up. There is much to be gained from the Old Testament, and there is also much that we must acknowledge is no longer acceptable as life instruction.
That is a powerful lot of hate coming from a representative of A man who taught love.
bunch of stupid apes. does the cross offend anyone else. doesn't bother me. i just think its a stupid symbol for symbol-minded people.
That is beyond disgusting. And these people are supposed to be Christians!
And your point is? Are you going to repost what is said here? Or are you a one sided messenger.
This came from an Agnostic page I follow on Facebook. They didn't include it's origin. I don't know where the origin is. Don't shoot the messenger.
@Melbates I wont. I am sorry, It is just that I am trying to be a fair person so one sided battles and arguments are like...
I bear comments like these in mind when people tell me I have to be respectful of other people's religious beliefs. Religion makes crazy people into bat shit crazy people, toxic and hateful it is a blight on humanity. They also seem to have missed the message that the gentle prophet, Jesus brought to them - LOVE.
I wonder how they'd react to the following?
Ephesians 4:2: βBe completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
1 Peter 4:8: βAbove all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
John 15:12: βMy command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."
Colossians 4:5-6 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Oh wait, I know what they would say: "You're taking that out of context." And then they'd look for Bible verses that said the exact opposite thing.
I wonder if they realize that Atheists shoot back.
Yep, a plastic bullet to the nut sack - it won't kill them but it should stop them from breeding.
Who are these sick fucks?
I don't know. The screenshot was on a Facebook page. No context given.
I refuse to live in fear.
Christians are followers and followers are cowards, so long as they don't assemble in large groups. Mobs are scary but the rest is just a bunch of hot air and bullshit.
Nothing like Christians ruining Christianity!
