Question for Christians who wonder why atheists coem to the R&S section?

Quick reality check,

Christians have kids, we run for office, we are teachers, we travel, we are work in Science and Mathematics, we are Doctors and Lawyers, Being a Christian does not mean that we are all sequestered Monks, we have and have a right to all of our opinions in all fields.

To take away our right to our opinions and our right to express them would make you a Fascist.

I will fight for my right to my opinion and yours as well, will you do the same for me?

Peace be with you.

Okay Mark you did a swell job at pointing out such even though there are no examples. And like any you are entitled to your OPINION and that is what this is---your opinion generated from other opinions. I too have gone to different sections and only give the answers the post requires--but real believers in God stand by what is posted because the Bible mentions everything you mention:

sex before marriage=STDs

GLTB= the behavior is an abomination and these sinners (like any other sinners) need God

prayer in sports--they are motivated by the power of prayer its that simple so how does this hurt you?

Politics= pray for our leaders; so naturally we want someone that has some degree of belief---G.W.Bush

Bible quotes&abortion= thou shall not kill simple right?

Immigration= personal issues--so does most of America- personal experiences with illegals (law breakers--criminals yes) not simply those from Mexico but those entering to destroy America from within. so be clear before your make generalizations.

Food & Drink issue with meat some beliefs do not allow meat to be eaten on Fridays so some do ask to keep thier belief system true.

Education= evolution is allowed in schools so why not allow creationsim? In your eyes Creationsim is not true so we also believe this of evolution.

Prayer in school= how does it hurt students? it is allowed by the constitution but liberal school officials seem to ignore this and create problems for those young believers; just let them pray. How can it hurt those tough skinned nonbelievers?

Family&Relationships= without God in the home the family will face very difficult situations because there is no foundation to hold the family together; passive parents create difficult children--Paris, Nicky, Brittney--examples. Divorce is not allowed, dating leads to premarital sex (most of the time) which can lead to unwanted pregnancies(most of the time) which then leads to abortions (most of the time)--thou shall not kill---its in the Bible.

Travel= those against Isreal will end in destruction by God's hands---its in the Bible too and to support Palestine is going against God or don't you believe this?

Science & Mathematics= Evolution is a theory; believers know and accept God as the Creator of all (even the devil). God will be denied for the foolish man has said in his heart there is no God--this comes from the Bible and it was written over two thousand years ago.

The point is that no matter the section that a Christian posts an answer he or she is basing the answer on the belief that without God society will endure undo suffering for God is with us and those against God will perish---that is also in the Bible. Can you deny God's word: well only if you do not believe so the best thing is to agree to disagree and let God judge the believer's actions and those of the unbelievers in the Day of Judgmennt--for it is appointed for men to die once and then the Day of Judgment.

Do understand that without God all those posts will generated a posted answer that is based on the word of God--the Bible. Can you tell me that such behaviors--those observed in the posts in all the sections are best dealt with an atheists perspective?

Mark. look at the wind. The wind cannot be seen yet it is there and can create a fun time when it pushes the sails or lifts up a kite so can you catch the wind? Yet it is real. It is the free-will given by God that will either lead a man to God or detract him from seeking his Creator. peace out.

oh no here come the thumbs down.

It all comes down to the expectation of perfection. Christians are no better than Atheist. We make mistakes. If we were perfect a lot of people would easily convert to become perfect to. Perfection is fathom on Earth. The thing is people get overly passionate about spreading Christianity and go overboard. They type/ say whatever pops into their head instead of asking The Holy Spirit for guidance on what to say. You guys can debate with us all you want and vice-versa. It is an endless battle until Jesus returns or until we reach heaven. Our actions should display Christ, not necessarily our words. Hope this help, And my apolpgies for past, present, and future ignorant acting Christians, Cora

LOL,So your solution is that we should corral all of the Christians into the R&S section, and leave all of the other categories to the non-Christian?

actually I believe you about the post in the other sections, my wife is a top contributor in pets, and I could not swear that she has never posted a scripture in that section, but I can say that she has talked about God in it.

and even though I seldom post scriptures in R&S I do post them when i find them applicable to the question.

and I visit other categories also.

so I could not say that I have never posted a scripture in one also.

actually I don't have a problem with Atheist here, some of them are my best contacts, so this question really does not apply to me.

so I hope you can forgive me for answering it anyway.

but I do wish we were all a little kinder, gentler, and more understanding of each other.

That is a very good and a very sad point. I don't think that I have been in any other section other then the Pets section, and I've never mentioned the Bible there, but others have. That is not the place for it. I personally like all the energy here from "everyone". Anyone and everyone has a right to be here.

I like that deal, I just wish we could locked them up in an illusion yahoo forum, where they can go to those different sections but only Christians are there....since they already argue amongst themselves as it is, I doubt they would notice the difference.

Well Markyyy...This question doesn't pertain to me but I understand that like any other member of the human family,Atheists are here for a great variety of reasons or any combination of reasons...Some are here no doubt to share their beliefs and perhaps influence others to be like-minded,others have no agenda as such and are simply participating out of lonliness,companionship,for the laughs,to feel accepted,to learn, etc....My question is:"Why would a Christian not want an Atheist to participate on the forum"?...Atheists should be viewed as objects of God's love and potential members in the Kingdom of God...

I personally seldom visit other forums unless blindly following a contact's lead and then usually just to goof off....

My main reason for visiting other forums however,is to participate on,"Raids"....I really miss those days!!!

EDIT: Hey...That was my 6000th answer,to date...Whoo who....I think I may be tapped out for answers....lol

That's a great point. I notice the first reaction was to point out they have the right to express THEIR opinions anyplace.

*sigh*

I'm afraid that, as much research as you did, Markyyy, the hard heads still aren't going to see your point, however well made and eloquent it was. They still only believe in freedom of religion as long as it's their religion, and only in freedom of speech and expression as it pertains to them, and they want everyone else to shut up and go away. These are the ones who secretly wish for a Theocracy, with no dissent.

They are probably the ones trying to make the Earth uninhabitable to hasten the coming of their deity.

This question is a hoot and a half!!

I believe in "Attraction, not promotion"

My way is not the Only way, and I am grateful for that fact!

I dont like to have a problem with Christians, but my BIGGEST pet peeve with them, is that they feel that Their way is the ONLY way!! (Generally speaking)

It's condescending and insulting.

That's the point that I got out from this post...and it might just be because...like I said...my Biggest pet peeve with Christians!!

Take a look at my Q's and A's. I don't go to those places nor do I care to fight. Probably believers that do this may be legalistic in how they are taught. When you are secure in bible doctrine you usually quit trying to change the world morally.

Interesting...
