The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

[Salacious B. Crumb]

I actually had an occurrence today with a Christian insulting me due to the fact that I am Atheist. The sad part is, she probably doesn't even think of it as insulting me. In her eyes I am a poor lost soul that needs saving. I was reaching out to her to give her some advice on her troubled teen. I myself was a troubled teen years ago and I thought my opinion would be of great help to her. She said "Thank you, but your story is always in the front of my mind. We don't want [insert her daughter's name here] to stray from the faith as you did." She worries everyday that her daughter will end up a non-believer like me. So pretty much my recovery and my positive outcome in life after a very difficult childhood did not matter to her.

Although I am successful financially, I am more than happy with my family and myself, she views my path in life as failure because I have converted from Christianity to Atheism. Christians are allowed to insult Atheists, but if an Atheist even just questions Christianity we are "attacking" them or insulting them. Often times I just want to engage in a healthy debate. I don't disrespect people's personal beliefs. But as I spend more time as an Atheist I realize that Christians are the most judgmental group of all.

It’s hard to pin down what group of anything that large is the most judgmental. Islam has some judgmental groups as well, that are willing to kill you, because of what you believe.

On the rare occasion a conversation was struck up in church (where I was a bystander), it would be about religion, and atheism was brought up most of the times as well as islam. These people would make fun of atheists for not believing in god, and I remember rolling my eyes at them every time. I remember thinking, they have no evidence for god, so how can you expect them to believe if god hasn’t revealed himself to them? (My standards of evidence for how I thought I knew god were more moronic, at best)

But, no doubt there are some insanely brainwashed christians out there, that are so judgmental they don’t even realize how full of hate they are towards other groups, because they think god is on their side. Even the ones that appear nice and friendly, the moment they find out that you’re an atheist, their whole expression changes, and you can tell that they want nothing to do with you. And, even the “nice” ones can think being gay is wrong, and they take other moronic moral positions like that, that you just have to lose respect for them as a person, not just because of their religious views. Although, it is their stupid, evil religion that is causing them to think this way.
