Is not caring the same as being apathetic?
I'm soooo confused. The atheists tell me they don't care what I believe but then they mock my beliefs and tell me that I'm wrong. I mean if you really didn't care what I believe, wouldn't you leave me the heck alone?
Glactaus seems to get it.

What they mean is that as long as you keep your beliefs to yourself, they don't care what you believe. But as soon as you insist on spouting them and attempting to influence public and private policy based on those beliefs, they feel it's necessary to inform you that you've been mislead. It's not really complicated, oh confused one.

Sure. Too much coruption, too much judgement. I have spent most of my existence within the bible belt in a big city that's run by way of a significant church. Religion is synthetic and it's purpose to unfold. This is actual for many religions. I grew up Baptist and normally took flack for being a goth. I have when you consider that long gone the route of deism (simply as our forefathers did) and it put a entire new point of view on matters. Geared up faith is certainly now not for me.

Read the Dictionary definitions and compare that to what you see and hear.
. MATTHEW 7:12-20.
12. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:
for this is The Law and The Prophets."
13. "Enter ye in at the Strait Gate:
for Wide is the Gate, and Broad is the Way,
that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14. "Because Strait is the Gate, and Narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.
15. "Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them by their Fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every good tree bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree cannot bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree bring forth Good Fuit.
19. "Every Tree that bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down, and cast into The Fire.
20. "Wherefore by their Fruits ye shall know them."
Since you have a foundation, and they do not, how could you possibly be confused?
Except you too are lying.
The Atheists on these forums are in fact Satan-worshippers.
An Atheist would be objective, and follow-up on discussions
and claims. These gainsay everything, block Questions,
and belittle rudely, to prevent people from learning The Truth from here.
These are Spiritually Trained, and know where to obstruct and deflect lines of
inquiry, testimonies, and references.
. LEVITICUS 19:11-14.
11. "Ye shall not steal,
neither deal falsely,
neither lie one to another.
12. "And ye shall not swear by My Name falsely,
neither shalt thou profane The Name of thy God:
I am the LORD.
13. "Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him:
the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee
all night until the morning.
14. "Thou shalt not curse the deaf,
nor put a stumblingblock before the blind,
but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD."
That is to say, they know what they are doing, and it is not random discussion.

I'm apathetic because I really don't care, but I can't help wondering why you are asking if you want to be left alone.

Because we have a right to express our opinion. If we think your religion is stupid and we tell you so, that isn't the same as caring about what you believe.

I only care when some Christers start trying to foist ludicrous beliefs into law that the rest of us have to go by

You are on this forum, and post your thoughts here I would guess. Atheists don't care about you particularly, but they do care about ideas and respond to ideas expressed here. That is different than caring about you.

same basic meaning...different nuance. Apathy is broad strokes, and cuts deeper.. A serial killer is apathetic. Its both not caring, and acting like you dont care.

"The atheists" don't tell you that. Particular people tell you that.
And yes, apathy is without concern. I, on the other hand, am concerned with what you believe because it informs your actions in society which has been historically bad for many believers.

I just don't get why the atheist who don't care about my faith should constantly be insulting it and dragging their unbelief all over the internet.
