[southern4life]

i'm an athiest.

i went to Catholic school from K-5th grade.. went to a Church of Christ school from 6-8th grade... i've read the bible cover to cover and i still dont believe in any of it.

Vaguely Aware said :: yes, but we feel the same if someone is going around telling us god IS real. *shrug* like i said, it works both ways.

^^they're right. anytime people find out i'm atheist i get the same speech over n over... its like.. i give them the respect and i dont go around sayin god isnt real... so i deserve the same respect --leave me alone!! ya kno??

poised,Oct 24 2004, 1:45 PM] I've got a few friends who are non-christian and they're always saying bad stuff about christianity. i.e "oh its so stupid" "oh, you all are dumbass bush supporters" "oh, blah blah blah".

what's funny is that they don't know jackcrap about christianity. they don't know what we learn and how great it is.

it ... iirks me. i can go on forever, but i dont feel like it.



for christians... are you feeling this from atheist, etc friends?

for non-christians... do you play down on christianity?

I'm Atheist but I at least want ot have a basic understanding of Christianity when I debate with my friends.

i'm not christian....and people kinda make fun of my religion -.- (i'm buddhist) it bothers me b/c i'm not making fun of their religion...

[vivieeeen]

hm... everybody thinks they're religion is superior.

because everyone believes in their own religion. (duh-)
but what i really really really don't understand... is how is it actually POSSIBLE to bash about other religions they don't know.

And i really don't understand what religion has to do about Bush and Kerry... But then again, Canadians should mind theire own business... (points to self)

I am Jewish. My whole family is Christian. [In fact, my brother is becoming a pastor.] I grew up being taught Christianity. But I withdrew from the religion because I did not feel it was...many things. Many things that I thought a religion should be. I still believe Jesus was a person in history who did great things. But personally, I don't believe he is the Messiah.

I don't crack down on Christians or insult them. We have different beliefs. Believe me. I know what it's like to be a Christian and a Jew. I would be ignorant to bash Christians. The only thing that bugs me greatly is when they say I am going to hell because I don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. [Which my grandmother does regularly.]

Everyone has their own beliefs, and I have mine. I wouldn't want someone to say I'm horrible for not believeing in Christ and I'm going to hell. Thus I wouldn't tell someone that they're wrong for their own beliefs.

That is all.

btw, shouldn't this be in debate or something? Maybe not.

i believe that most people who "play" on anything do it because a lack of education

[*Weird addiction*]

im an atheist,sometimes i happen to talk about christianity but i dont condemn christians,its just a religion!!! some christians r cool

OR they could do it because they have enough of disrespect.

If someone happens to disrespect what I believe in, I will play no part in helping them humor themselves at my expense. Therefore, if they disrespect my beliefs, I will disrespect that individual in kind. This is is hard though because Christians believe the same and if I happen to say something to one then a whole bunch jump in to defend that person. This can be said about a person of any beliefs, not just Christianity.

[xnastyninjagrlx]

um I'im Christian and some people do talk smack, but the thing is people will always talk smack as long as you believe in Christ cuz he even said so Himself in the Bible. I do feel really sad tho that they don't even try to understand it and just keep talking smack about it..so yah..but perseucation is a trial and we just need to treat it as a blessing.

[*tweeak*]

my friends of other religons often expect me to steryotype or insult them or something for their beliefs because im christian, but i wouldnt do that, because it really makes no difference to me. i know some people though who think that all christians are like southern baptists, and that really pisses me off because im catholic and those two religons are nothing alike. some people think that you cant be christian and open to science and anything intellecual and thats wrong too. but honestly, theres steryotypes about everything. you just have to learn to get used to it

I wouldn't consider myself to be Christian, more Sprititual but I know A LOT about Christianity and their beliefs since my bf and his family are very devoted Christians. Anyway, my two sisters don't believe in God but they don't go bashing other people's religion. I respect everyone's belief, but it doesn't mean that I agree with it. Yea I guess it just boils down to ignorance and lack of morals, they probably aren't open-minded about religions that's why it's easy for them to bash it.
