a question for theists

[Angrboda]

I get along fine with atheists. We tend to like the same things. I don't know why some people react with hate. Probably a mix of befuddlement and fear.

[Neo-Scholastic]

I hate everyone equally. ;-)

Who's the shepard?

Incase of the Global warming frenzy/sky is falling Al (chicken little) Gore.

Basically it is whatever leader who uses the 'science' button into changing the way you think, do business or live.

Wow, generalise much? And for your information, I gave 5 pounds to Stand up to cancer and I donate 4 pounds a month to a cancer charity.

...and I just gave a pound to giving a poop to those who care.

so if get on tv and start preaching the word and not believing in it and lying to get your hard earned money you would still pay me....
then i pay off some actors and set up a elaborate rouge to make it look like a miracle happen you would pay me money..... my own ethics even though i want money i wont rip off people.

Yeah, I hate when science tries to change my life. That's why I deny its existence whenever I can...Now, if I could just find the send button on this smart phone...Ah! Here it is.

sorry to disappoint

No worries.

You're the only Christian that responded on this board, but you are not the only Christian on this forum. So my prediction can still be true.

See another example of a sherson (singular of sheeople) lumping all of science into one catagory. Again not all science is of the same merrit.

what do you think about us atheists

As a worldview? Self-refuting.

As individual people? I don't know. My relationship with the members of the atheist forum began and exists almost completely within discussions of a subject upon which we are diametrically opposed and highly passionate. So there's a lot of anger and condescension. On a personal level I imagine that within a different context I'd get along well with some of you and struggle to get along with others.

and can you explain why some theists just down right hate us

Nope. But my opinion is either retaliation or misguided zeal (on the part of the Christian).

We also live in a culture often unable to differentiate between criticism and hatred. If I make the statement: homosexuality is morally wrong, often people assume I hate homosexuals. Yet if I make the statement: 'adultery is wrong', people don't assume I hate adulterers. In some situations of criticism, the 'hatred' is all in the atheist's head.

and why do you allow some people to take money from you like tv evangelists scammers like benny hinn and peter popoff.

Personally I have never given money to a TV evangelist. Christ was continually talking about false teachers and the book of Jude is written in opposition to so-called preachers who use the Gospel as a means of financial gain.

You are right to observe that the Christian community should be more vocal in opposing heretical teaching.
