Why are atheists disrespectful?
Some argue that they are not and I totally agree that some atheists are respectful, conservative, and contribute to our society. But then, I scroll through the internet finding disrespectful images, blogs, and videos that bash on Christians.
Why do disrespectful atheists ask for respect when they don't give it back?
Do you guys all remember the golden rule?
Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
The golden rule isn't even religious based. It's just a culture-based morality that follows the guidelines of many (if not all) religions.
It makes me upset and flustered when atheists complain about not getting respect when in reality, they don't return it.....
Anyways, just my thoughts.
Feel free to talk about your ideas; I'm interested in hearing some concepts.
Have a good one!
Some posts by atheists to religious people on here are pretty disgusting, but I've experienced similar stuff on Islamic forums directed towards me so I know how it feels and tend not to act that way towards muslims or christians.
The few times I have insulted religious people on here off the top of my head its been because of slanderous comments, or basically because they insulted me first.
I've probably insulted more atheists on here because of their insulting attitude towards me. I'm pretty laid back really so I can't think of a time when I've started the insults.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
