How do you feel towards atheists?

Frustrated. I vaccilate between loving them and wanting to drill holes in their head to inject common sense. God commands me to love them, and I certainly wouldn't want anyone to go to Hell for eternity.

Common sense is knowing there IS a God.

Obviously, I can't drill holes in their heads...Generally speaking, I don't like their condescending name calling and insults, but it appears that that is part of Yahoo....

I have chosen to hang around this neighborhood, so I continue my efforts to affect it for the good.

God commands me to love atheists, they bleed when cut just like I do, we're all human....I think a lot of friction between atheists and Christians ON THIS SITE has a lot to do with the anonyminity of the internet.

Both Christians and atheists say things here that they wouldn't DREAM of saying in person. Nevertheless, I don't see myself as mean or unreasonable, I try to maintain an attitude of gentle persuasion. As proof of my word, I offer this example of how I treat an opponent after nearly 3 years on Yahoo:

In Christ,

I find it incredible that someone who doesn't believe in God can be more "Christian" than an "actual" Christian. I feel equal to atheists. I do not feel superior because I believe in something they just can't wrap their heads around, but I would never dissociate with a person because they didn't believe in Christ. God gave us free will. Truthfully there are atheists and Christians that are beautiful people and some that are not, but I love them all the same.

5% of all the people I know are probably atheist.

Those are the stats.

The ones I know who are open about it, are very nice folks.

Most are scientists. They can't get beyond the science.

But, as a whole, they are kind, caring people who think that humans can help humans.

The same I do with everyone else. I know several atheists who are great people (currently dating one of them!). I know several great Christians. I also know some bad atheists and christians. I don't judge people based on their religious belief (or lack there of). The only people who irritate me are those who push their beliefs on others, treat them badly, and don't allow other to believe differently. I've seen people from all walks of life do that.

Can't wrap our heads around? Hmm... Check this video out...

Now if you watched it, what is there to wrap our heads around? I think this video completely blows apart the whole Christian faith and if you think you can debunk it, here is another video for you.

Some are offensive:) (but they are very good at it;), some ask fantastic questions that make me think, some are sweet...I don't know...I am not personally offended by their beliefs or anything like that...but I guess I also feel that I had such a profound change in my life after I came to believe in God/Jesus that I can't help wishing that for other people...still, we all get to choose our beliefs and I respect that.

They are not aliens. They are human beings as all of us. God gave us free will and each of us have the right to believe in whatever we want. I know several atheists and they are very nice, common people with good and bad things in their lives....so! I would say, I respect them as I expect them to respect me. I can try to show them the road to God but if they refuse to take it, there is nothing I can do but respect their decision.

Christ informed us to love our neighbour as ourselves. to handle you with disrespect isn't the way Christ informed us to act. we are informed to allow you recognize approximately Christ yet we can't replace you or rigidity you to have faith as we do, that alter basically comes out of your heart.

I love most atheists I meet. They have good jokes about spiritual people like me. rofl so funny lol

They are just people too. Everyone has the right to choose what to believe in.

But I won't stop praying for them.
