Christian humility

[Last Things]

I don't think this has anything to do with religion, but fanaticism.

Fanatics hold onto a simplistic world view and they are incredibly insecure. When it is challenged, they resort to rudeness, threats, and insults. It does not matter if a person is religious or not.

Non-religious can resort to insults, religious can resort to threats of hell and the like. I have encountered it with fundamentalist Christians who will ignore all appeals to reason that I am just going to hell for not sharing their view. Non-religious, if they are fanatics, will tell me I am stupid for believing in a bearded man that lives in the clouds and that my faith is nothing more than fairy tales.

Difference being that the latter has at least some semblance of truth.

Also, the latter will not try and kill you for believing differently to them.

Are you kidding? One, it only has truth based on what you believe. Atheists have killed and continue to kill people for being religious.

You're so vain you can't admit when you show how little you know about God, the Bible and Christianity, if you can live with it I guess the rest of us can.

I've heard this before, I hate to chime in but at least to my knowledge most atheists dislike and disbelief in Christianity is not that they know too little, but they know too much. They know MORE than the average Christian, hence the reason they turn away from it.

It generally has more to do with a one sided fanatical version they 'learn' about from the most annoying people.
