What is the biggest thing that theist do that annoy you?

[Zen Badger]

There are so many things that annoy's us about Theist. Whats yours? and yes theist we will make this fair and let you put in your thoughts about what annoys you guys and gals about us atheist

Cool..here is a short list

Annoying things atheists do

1. Say Christians are terrible people, treats them like subhumans: "Do as I say, not as I do"

---

2. Says they know more about the bible than Christians, doesn't understand the difference between the Old and New Covenant: Hint, Christians aren't jews under the Mosaic law

3. Doesn't believe in authentic conversion, believes everyone who says they are Christian is Christian: There are true scotsmen. They live in scotland and wear kilts.

4. Claim they lack a belief in God, but actually don't believe in God: Yeah, I'm on to you

5. Won't accept any evidence except Jesus shaking their hand, when told how to know Jesus personally, refuses to do it: Only a lightning bolt will suffice

6. Denies absolutes, absolutely believes that: sigh

7. Religious belief in science for all the answers, says faith is for stupid people: Use science to prove these and get back to me: Existential truth, Mathematical Truth, Aesthetic Judgements, Metaphysical Truths, Moral Truth, Logical Truth, Historical Truth, Experiential Truth, and itself.

8. Says God didn't create the Universe, has no idea how it happened: Thanks for your informed opinion

9. Believes nothing exploded and that magically created order and complexity, and from this rocks became alive and turned into soup which turned into monkeys and then into you, thinks Creationism is ridiculous: Hah!

10. Claims Christianity is a waste of time, spends all of their time talking about God, Christianity and Christians: I think there is something more to this..

11. Brings up religious wars, won't acknowledge mass murdering atheistic regimes: your death toll is way higher

12. claims sin has nothing to do with unbelief, can't and wont stop sinning: who do you think you're kidding?

13. claims they've heard it all before, never once listened: in one ear and out the other

14. doesn't like it when Christians proselytize and try to convert them, proselytizes to Christians and tries to convert them: how long until you have special underwear?

15. hates it when Christians influence public policy, supports atheist organizations that influence public policy: Starting to see a trend here..

16. doesn't think children should be raised with religion, indoctrinates their own children: pot, meet kettle.

I'll include one for deists too:

1. praises impersonal God, hates personal God, looking at same Universe: those are some schizophrenic standards

---

Since some of my best friends over the years have been committed christians whom I've had the greatest respect for, I would say theists that make presumptive and ignorant blanket statements like this are the most irritating.

As to the rest of this absurd post, provide firm evidence for your invisible friend or fuck off.

Annoying things atheists do

1. Say Christians are terrible people, treats them like subhumans: "Do as I say, not as I do"

Erm, when I see theists complain about 'atheist persecution', well, I just have to laugh out loud:

2. Says they know more about the bible than Christians, doesn't understand the difference between the Old and New Covenant: Hint, Christians aren't jews under the Mosaic law

Many atheists are, in fact, highly versed in the nuances of the Bible, particularly those atheists who were formerly Judeo-Christian. But let me ask you this. You aoften see televangelists reading from the old testament, and quite often misinterpreting it (the book of the Jewish people). As Lewis Black has pointed out, you don't see any Jews on television reading from the New Testament, do you???

I wasn't complaining about atheist persecuation, I was complaining against hypocripsy..I mean if atheism is superior it should generate superior behavior, yet if you go to any atheist forum and look around for 5 minutes, all you'll find is hate, hate and more hate.

You'll have to introduce me to these atheists with the nuanced understanding of the bible because I've rarely met any who knew very much more than the popular atheist memes about it.

As far as televangelists go, they frequently misquote the Old *and* the New Testaments..they are all con artists if you haven't noticed.

And Christians have a superior understanding of the Old Testament than the jews do.

Wildly misrepresent the views of atheists in a 17 point list, while at the same time ignoring the burden of proof and showing yourself spectacularly ignorant of evolutionary theory and the scientific method in general.

Look around the forum, or any atheist forum..you will not find respect for Christians...you will find hatred. Sorry you didn't enjoy my post, but turnabout is fair play.

I don't have to prove anything in this thread. Feel free to prove any of those truths I listed scientifically though. While you're at it, you can tell me all about the origin of life..

Seems like you are a bit on the paranoid side there luce

[Zen Badger]

Nope, my point still stands.

You're an ignorant douchecopter who gets all his information from fellow xtian retards like AIG and I'll bet you NEVER once picked up a real book on evolution or physics or geology or anything that even remotely looks like it will contradict your silly little fairytale.

So again I will repeat my invitation to provide scientific evidence for your invisible friend.

Or even that despite ALL of the vast mountain ranges of physical evidence to the contrary, the universe is really 6000 years old.

How can your point stand when you have just disproven it twice in a row? You never had a point. This is the way that atheists talk to Christians, and you can see it all over the site, and every other atheist site. So, you are just proving my point here. You can't even act civilized for 2 minutes. Why should I engage in a debate with you when this is the quality I can expect from our discourse?

Hmm?

[Ace Otana]

1. Say Christians are terrible people, treats them like subhumans: "Do as I say, not as I do"

When retards go around threatening people with eternal damnation and endless punishment in hell, you'll find yourself with many foes.

2. Says they know more about the bible than Christians, doesn't understand the difference between the Old and New Covenant: Hint, Christians aren't jews under the Mosaic law

Many atheists were once Christian. Some were strong believers, so yeah, many atheists would indeed know more seeing as they are no longer afraid to read the whole bible as it's written.

3. Doesn't believe in authentic conversion, believes everyone who says they are Christian is Christian: There are true scotsmen. They live in scotland and wear kilts.

Huh?

4. Claim they lack a belief in God, but actually don't believe in God: Yeah, I'm on to you

Aren't they the same thing? Lack of belief - don't believe?

5. Won't accept any evidence except Jesus shaking their hand, when told how to know Jesus personally, refuses to do it: Only a lightning bolt will suffice

You can easily believe in fairytale stories and take peoples word for it but many others are not so easily lead. Personal feelings and thoughts are often unreliable. This is why we use science, and verifiable evidence.

6. Denies absolutes, absolutely believes that: sigh

I'm not absolutely sure about anything.

7. Religious belief in science for all the answers,

Science is a method not a religion. It isn't belief based, it's based on evidence.

says faith is for stupid people

People with faith have done some pretty stupid things. Faith blinds and misleads people. Like relying on prayer to save your dying son or daughter.

Use science to prove these and get back to me: Existential truth, Mathematical Truth, Aesthetic Judgements, Metaphysical Truths, Moral Truth, Logical Truth, Historical Truth, Experiential Truth, and itself.

The information is out there and within reach to all. The question is: Are you willing to listen and learn? I don't think you are, you hold to your religious beliefs too strongly.

8. Says God didn't create the Universe, has no idea how it happened: Thanks for your informed opinion

There is no reason to assume a god did anything if a god has not been demonstrated to exist. A does not prove B if you haven't first proved A.
We should always stick to the obvious and never assume without reason and evidence. We don't know how all this got here, and we'd be fools to think otherwise.

9. Believes nothing exploded and that magically created order and complexity, and from this rocks became alive and turned into soup which turned into monkeys and then into you, thinks Creationism is ridiculous: Hah!

Thank you for demonstrating your level of ignorance.

10. Claims Christianity is a waste of time, spends all of their time talking about God, Christianity and Christians: I think there is something more to this..

I spend very little of my time on such subjects. Why waste my time arguing with retards about their retarded beliefs?

11. Brings up religious wars, won't acknowledge mass murdering atheistic regimes: your death toll is way higher

There's never been an 'atheistic regime'. Can't see how you can kill in the name of disbelief. But kill in the name of 'god'? Well history is loaded with that.

12. claims sin has nothing to do with unbelief, can't and wont stop sinning: who do you think you're kidding?

Sin is just a concept. If you don't believe in sin, how will it affect you and your judgement on anything?

13. claims they've heard it all before, never once listened: in one ear and out the other

We have, I reckon many here are just so sick and tired of repeating themselves to a bunch of ignorant fucks.

14. doesn't like it when Christians proselytize and try to convert them, proselytizes to Christians and tries to convert them: how long until you have special underwear?

Last I checked, this is an atheist forum. Besides, just because we make good points don't mean we're preaching. We're simply defending our position, or speaking out to absurdities.

15. hates it when Christians influence public policy, supports atheist organizations that influence public policy: Starting to see a trend here..

Religion should have nothing to do with civil society. Religious belief is a private matter, it should not get involved with anything to do with the military or civil services.
Besides, it's not an atheist organisation, it's a secular one. There is a slight difference.

16. doesn't think children should be raised with religion, indoctrinates their own children: pot, meet kettle.

Children should be given the freedom to think for themselves. I believe in a secular up bringing, that way they can decide for themselves whether religion is rational or complete bollocks.

You are a arrogant, ignorant Christian nut job.

Since my point was rebutting your blanket statement about atheists treating christians with contempt and as subhumans, it still stands.

And whilst you continue to maintain that you are in possession of "THE TRUTH!!!!!" without any supporting evidence whatsoever I will continue to treat you the same as I would any other charlatan trying to spruik their snake oil potions to an unsuspecting public.

And if you don't like it....

Well, you can imagine my distress.
