Christian humility

[Zidneya]

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

Actually no, many ex-christians grew up in non-extreme christian homes. Some have some haven't so I disagree as that they only learn the Fanatical side. I think they learn enough of both ends to know the toxicity of it.

I don't know if you know this Last Things but we already had discussed this in another thread. I remembered it because I was part of it. This is what I wrote there.

That's interesting since most atheist I know comes from religious families, specially christian ones.
What do you want from us do you want us to memorize every passage from the bible and tell you why we don't accept it? Because I know atheists who do that.

Cause I guarantee you that those atheist who used to be christians they believed in all the bible stuff, or at least most of it them, they believed faith was a good thing, they believed religion was a beneficial to the world, they believed in the resurrection, they accepted christ in their lives. And then latter in life they all realized that it was all bullshit. And they drop it. They were religious and now there not. Nor condone the atrocities that religion does and think that it's okay to let religion provides beneficial functions that governments should do instead because that it's governments job. That idea that if you are an atheist now but you weren't a religious before nor tried to understand it before that's such a lie don't act like you know us because you don't.
I was religious to begin with I went to Catechism they taught me to understand religion. A lot of ex-christians were christians before and now they are not because they know better.

I guarantee you that if you know an atheist, a full developed atheist that not only doesn't belief in god promotes atheism have read the bible and tried to understand it than most random christians that you know.And if you gave them a quiz atheist would do better. I think some survey has done that particular thing they asks different people what do they know about various religions what the teach and what they have done and the atheist score highest. Because we think about this stuff all the time so we generally understand more. And unlike religious we know about the holes are in particular issues this religions too. So yes I read and tried to understand larges parts the function of religion in this world. Other people have done than and about a whole of holy books too to not only know about christianity but religion in general. I have a question for you.


What atheist teachings have you tried to understand? Do you know their benefits? Their philosophies? How atheist feel after embrace atheism? What have they've done to help other people?
Because if you wanna have this discussion. You you at least should take pains in order to understand atheism, not simply take it as a bunch of critics.

I mean I don't remember if you were a part of that discussion. Nevertheless if I were you I would stop saying that we just were taught the fanatical version.
