+844 I am a Christian and have been reading this site for a while now. I have noticed how cruel some posts are to athiest. God loves the athiest as much as he loves the Christians. And how on Earth are we suppous to convert them to christianity if we keep laughing at them and being mean? Some of the nicest people I have met are athiest. Be nice, for the Bible tells you so. amirite?

Exactly. Christians are here to love everyone, not just those we want to come to Christ.

Thank you! I just don't get how some christians think by making rude remarks about athiest will magically make them want to become chrsitians.

Yes! Thank you! "Love your neighbor as yourself" doesn't mean "Love your neighbor; unless they aren't Christian."

Way for him to extend a hand to you and for you to bite it clean off. He lives his life by a storybook the same way I live mine by a story book. You live by a set of things that you *don't* believe. That doesn't make you higher and mightier or smarter than any of us, it just makes you different.

Thanks for posting something like this! Except, I don't even think forcing conversion is necessary. Jesus preached love to all, and we should do that, not exclusive to non-Christians too.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I agree, Jesus preached love to all. Including homosexuals, and look how that's turning out. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!

We shouldn't be trying to convert people as much as we should let the Holy Spirit in us help us love others like Jesus loves.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I agree to that statement (seeming how I'm an atheist too) the only thing I don't like in this, and I quote, " And how on Earth are we suppous to convert them to christianity if we keep laughing at them and being mean?" If we want to go to Jesus or God or whatever, we will if we want to. But if you try to convert us, there's a good chance we'll ignore you.

There's alot of people who haven't really considered God or a church, and Christians talking to them about God can help them. I know, there's also alot of athiests who just want us Christians to leave them alone, but I think it's worth it for those few people that we can help.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Um, actually atheists are fine, I don't even know if I am one or not. But it isn't really possible to be an atheist Christian, because isn't the religion based on Jesus being God?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

shouldn't we want to be nice to others not just because the bible says to but because we think its the right thing to do and we don't want to hurt other people?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Totally, otherwise atheists would be evil, which we aren't(mostly)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I agree that kindness should be spread, but as a Satanist it is not because of what the bible says. Also, trying to convert people will generally only make us angry. Some of my closest friends are Christian or catholic, but I am only friends with them because they don't preach to me. (let the insulting me begin, as I know verile spawn will do what they have been programmmed to do)

If you were so ok with them, then why on earth would you try to convert them? That's wrong. And hypocritical.

They were saying that athiest people are just fine, but the idea of atheism is what we disagree with.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

DEFINITELY agreed with Leaknowsbest. Go ahead and be mean to atheists if you can't actually accept them for being that way, I bet they would find your Christian self-righteousness better than your utterly misguided attempts to make everyone else as blind as you are. I support Christianity as far as its doctrine of turning the other cheek, but not as far as it tries to force others to practice that principle the same way Christians do. You might as well do atheists everywhere a favor and just leave them alone.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm atheist, and I respect Christians like you. I respect all religions, and it makes me furious when people yell at me for not believing what they do. If people bitch about atheism, I bitch back. But people like you are good. You're fine with what others believe. Well, the only thing I disagree with is the whole "we can't convert them". Don't try to convert us. Let us make our own decisions. During the age of exploration, Europeans tried to convert people. What happened to those people? They died. So please don't try.

excuse me? "convert them" ??!!

YES! Thank you! Exactemment, tu es raison! I have two atheist friends and I love them. Just because they have different beliefs does not justify our, as Christians, making fun of them.

So basically if you voted no way, you're a close minded atheist who got the wrong mesage while reading this. Not that I don't like atheists, though. Most of you are fine, I just hate all close minded people.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I clicked no way cause isn't attempting to convert someone with different beliefs the same as being close-minded? It's just as offensive as a straight up insult, even if you're being 'nice' about it.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It doesn't tell you to convert, it just mentions that Christians are supposed to try to convert people. You're sitting here reading a post saying "Hey! Christians! Be nice to atheists," and all you're thinking is "NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY!!!11!1!1" This post wasn't even directed at you. I think you're overthinking this one. A lot.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

The only things I don't agree with are 'convert them' and ' the Bible tells you so'. Why would you try to convert them right after saying that it was fine to be atheist, and why do you have to be nice because the Bible says so? what's so wrong with being nice because it's the right thing to do? I agree with the overall message, but they way they wrote it is very contradictory

We don't need to "convert" them...we need to make everyone feel comfortable.

I think she means that we all need to except others I'm no to sure about the convert them part but in everythign in life we have to accept and appreciate others to help them, and I'm not just saying that about religions and converting people or changing them but just as a fact of life

The holy spirit doesn't exxist, the christian and catholic faith is, and has been throughout history, corrupt and hypocritical. The bible was written by humans who can lie and make shit up. Plus who r u 2 try to convert anyone! That is patronizing and condesending.

Hi, I'm a Christian and one of my best friends is an atheist. She is the sweetest person I know and she has great morals. People should be nice and accepting to others not just because the Bible says to, but because it is the right thing to do. This is something that can be universally understood. Also, I get along with my friend because I've never tried to convert her. Trying to force your beliefs on someone else is the number one way to piss them off. Sometimes my friend has questions about my faith, and I only do my best to answer them and explain things she does not understand, not tell her "you need to believe this". I'll respect her no matter what she decides to believe in, or not believe in.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

When I said "convert them", I was talking about those who are wondering through life searching for an answer to "why am I here?" and to those who have not found Christ. I understand that when an athiest says no, it means no. It is your decision completely. I respect your beliefs.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

i'm athiest and i'm pretty young.i believe in science. not in a superior being that we have absolutely no proof of. i do agree with many universial christian and jewish teachings, but i dont want to belong to this christian religion thats being shoved down my thoat at home and at school. of course i cant tell my family bc they would be furious, but i wish they had given me a choice of my religion or to not belive in god. i like this comment bc it adresses equality in al belifs but i dont apperciate how religious people are constantly trying to convert athiests and people of other religions.

I am Atheist and I don't give a shit about them making fun of us. I think it's funny and laugh along. Grannit, I am really more Agnostic - but still, same difference I don't believe in a God. I regonize that there is a God, and yada yada - but I don't believe in him.

I hate it when people hate on other people. And i find it despicable that we can't live our lives happily together. I'm an atheist with a catholic girlfriend and we love each other unconditionally. we argue over religion sometimes, but we've set that behind us. I could go on and on about science and the dilutions of god, but that's not what this post is about. i completely agree withe what this post says, except for the part about "And how on Earth are we suppous to convert them to christianity" if god loves us either way, then why do we need to be christan

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Lets pretend that you have two children and love both of them unconditionally. One of them is making good choices in life, is very smart, and has a great relationship with you. The other is making some poor choices and ends up in prison for 50 years. Just because you love both of them equally and unconditionally, you can't stop the second one from his own choices, and you can't keep him from paying the consequences in prison. God doesn't send people to Hell. People send themselves there.
