Shaun_300 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists????? Not myself, but know a fair amount of them. I am Catholic, yet I have absolutely nothing against atheists. They choose and have as much right to be atheists as I do to be catholic. You won't ever hear me try to preach my believes into someone else's head.

buckee Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists????? [ QUOTE ] God didn't create this atheist- Christianity and the hypocrisy that lies within did. [/ QUOTE ] Christianity has no hypocrisy in it, only people do. There is nothing good in me. I'm not righteous at all. I'm a sinner and I know it. when I do anything, that could be called righteous by man or God, I only do it, because of Christs righteousness, that covers me. I do things in the flesh sometimes, that the spirit tells me not to do. I know it's wrong and go to the mercy seat of Christ to better myself, as a child of God. If that makes me a hypocrite, in man's eyes, then so be it. The one great thing about being an agnostic or an atheist, is that no one can ever call you a hypocrite, because you get to make up your own rules. How convenient, and how self righteous. The meaning of self righteous is that one makes themselves righteous by their own deeds, or because they say they are good because of their deeds. Christians already know they are not good and lean on the righteousness of the Lord, and trust in the covering by his blood and the Grace afforded by it..

wtnhunt Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists????? I am a Christian, but I know some people who are atheists and are really good people morally. They just do not accept that God exists. Also know some people who are self proclaimed Christians and in the church everytime the door is open who have NO morals. Good thing it is not for me to judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists?????

Lets see, [ QUOTE ] do you all observe Christmas???? oh...btw...God didn't create atheists..... [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] You guys will believe in something some day..too bad it will be too late [/ QUOTE ] Hmmm [/ QUOTE ] The biblical interpretation of self-righteous, differs from the secular interpretation of self-righteous. Using the secular interpretation, makes all Parents everywhere...self-righteous...think about it Christians have that little curse hanging over our heads all the time...WHY?...because non-believers can not understand the righteousness covering of what Christ has done for us on the cross, which is "not our own" and not based on anything good that we have done. Non-believers use those terms, self-righteous, and hypocrite to make us go away and shut our mouths from proclaiming the Truth. And yet, when they open their mouths to proclaim us self-righteous, it makes them self-righteous for saying so. Jesus said, we would be persecuted for his names sake, so don't be too surprised that every time a Christian proclaims any of God's truth, that you get labelled as such. [ QUOTE ] You guys will believe in something some day..too bad it will be too late [/ QUOTE ] This isn't a private opinion based on someones "OWN" self-righteousness. It's God's truth and God's righteousness being proclaimed. Someday every knee shall bend, every head will bow, and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, whether they want to or not....Why?...because the Lord will be right there in front of them. Enough said. This is what is written, who am I to argue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists????? Here's what I've always wondered.......................... If atheists do not believe in God, then why do they acknowlege Christmas and Easter and use God's name in vain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists????? This is a bad circular argument. We are all sinners and always will be. You either accept Christ and the free pardon of sin or you don't. However, expecting a Christian to stop sinning entirely is disengenuous. It isn't going to happen and never will. If Christians are hypocrites, then so are our parents "do as I say and not as I do" New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] My entire family are Christians and out of respect for them and to not make a spectical of myself, I participate. I listen to Christmas music, I exchange gifts, I enjoy the whole family being together. When they do their prayer, I stand with them and hold hands and otherwise go through the motion. Just because I'm atheist, I'm not going to make a scene and try to force my beliefs on them and ruin their holiday.

[/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Why don't unbelievers ever take Buddha's or Allah's name in vain? Why is God's name the first one that always comes to their mouth to curse? [/ QUOTE ] I know, or I assume, these weren't aimed directly at me, but I'll answer anyway. I don't. I already explained my take on Christmas. I don't acknowlege, or down play Easter. I don't take God's name in vain because I know that, in most places, 95% of the people around me are Christians, and I respect their beliefs. Too bad most Christians choose not to recipricate, but that's their choice. I respect Christians for their ability to faithfully believe in something that I have no grasp of. In fact, I sent a very nice Christmas gift to Jeramie, someone I've never met in person or talked to on the phone, which he received today, out of respect for his faith. Sorry I'm such a dispicable human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Atheists????? I don't , and I'm guessing no one here, think the vast majority of athiest are bad people. There are just as many bad Christain people as any, except maybe muslems. The reason Christians are bold about thier faith is because we are commanded by God to be. If we weren't then we really wouldn't be good Christians. If we don't try to convert people, we are not doing our jobs down here. Atheist have nothing to spread. How can you spread disbelief in something? Not meant to be a dig or disrespectful, just making an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
