Here's a way to think of it. Imagine there is one kid in Ms. Henderson's 2nd grade class. He's the only one who hasn't figured out that Santa isn't real. He goes around telling all the other students how great Santa is, and how much Santa is going to give him on Dec 25th. He goes on and on about it. When you try to explain to him that Santa is just his parents, he doesn't believe you. He brings in newspapers with "Letters to Santa" from other children and pictures of half eaten cookies on Christmas morning as proof that Santa is real. You've tried and tried to tell him he's wrong. You've tried to refute his proof with logic and science. After a while you just get tired of trying to help him and just start mocking him. Now imagine you live in country where its the Jesus who brings christmass presents:-D Belief in Jesus gets whole new dimension.. |

It is the same as the pro-gay marriage argument.
They don't want to be left alone. They want you to agree with them. If you don't you are an infidel...errr, I mean deluded/foolish/laughable....I sometimes get confused between various extremist camps.... |

I don't mock them generally, and were it entirely a private matter, I wouldn't give it a second thought. However, those who worship the various Christian Gods are actively engaged in society, and affect the world that we live in.
If people seriously wanted to steer the nation by the words of Woden or Thor, I would be equally concerned. Fortunately, most Christian religions parse the Bible for the good bits and ignore the rest. This generally tends towards a peaceful, stable society. |

While mocking is perhaps not the best way to go about it, sometimes it's important to remind people that their view is not the only valid perspective out there. When folks are allowed to create their own little echo chambers by driving out dissent frequently it preceeds other bad things. And for that matter, in this case we are talking about challenging people to think rationally about a subject that most folks tend not to approach in a rational or empirical manner (regardless of which religion you are speaking about).

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Yeah, I don't buy all the Jesus stuff but it's not right to make fun of it. Live and let live. I do not believe mocking one belief is really persecuting someone, although I believe these people are ones that would rejoice in seeing a Christian persecuted for their belief.. I believe the time is coming where Christians will be faced with persecution. John 15:18-21 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me." I also read someone’s post about church and how people do not live the life they preach. I have been mocked and threaten inside a church, where we are told to love each other. I have been kicked out and told never to come back. I been told I was not good enough to attend their church. All because I was poor growing up and I did not have a father due to him leaving us when I was 2 years old. I find it hard to believe that churches are of God any more and more and more of them more like a business making money that only benefits themselves. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. I believe my relationship is with the lord Jesus and not with the church. I know there are some great churches that are of God and others that are not. You need to have your own relationship with God and not base it off just the church one may attend. I believe he died for my sins, so I can be forgiven for what I have done. This song believe is a perfect song for me and my walk with Jesus knowing what If I stumble and when I fall and what happens if I make a fool of us all? "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg6HedZ4xGs |

I don't make fun of most Christians because it's rude and it hurts their feelings. However, I don't understand why you don't understand why people make fun of Christians (or anyone else for that matter). Do you never make fun of people who are wrong? Like Bronies and Democrats? There's nothing more natural in the world than laughing at people with weird, silly beliefs based on nothing. I'm being candid because you asked for it. I don't usually volunteer my opinion on the validity of Christianity. You have every right to love Jesus, and I think he's wonderful too. Fictional, but wonderful and good for the peaceful functioning of society. Let's count the number of pro Fred Phelps threads on this board vs. the number of snotty atheist comments on this board. |

They've read a book which relies on nothing more than the reader's ability to defy logic and believe in things which can not reasonably be expected to actually happen, and now let that book run their lives. Seriously, some guy dying and walking out of his tomb three days later is just as believable as a flying pony that talks and does magic. However, if a person believes in the Zombie Savior, they are not able to be ridiculed, whereas the guys who like MLP are openly subject to ridicule. I'll believe in God, the resurrection of Jesus, and Heaven the day I see a Pegasus, a Unicorn, a Hobbit, a wizard, or a guy in bullet proof pajamas who flies faster than the speed of sound. |

To make the parallel complete: I'd wager that environmentalists care as much about the earth as people do about their particular subjective religion, so why do these mean old people want to hurt their feelings? Can't they just be happy for the environmentalists and not be offensive on the most important days of the year for environmentalists? Seems silly to me. I mean, pascals wager says that even if there is only a slight chance that burning tires and pouring oil will ruin the earth, why risk it?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Have you ever made fun of Bronies, people who attend ComicCons, or folks who dress up in costumes to go to a movie premier? To me, they're no different than Christians. They've read a book which relies on nothing more than the reader's ability to defy logic and believe in things which can not reasonably be expected to actually happen, and now let that book run their lives. Seriously, some guy dying and walking out of his tomb three days later is just as believable as a flying pony that talks and does magic. However, if a person believes in the Zombie Savior, they are not able to be ridiculed, whereas the guys who like MLP are openly subject to ridicule. I'll believe in God, the resurrection of Jesus, and Heaven the day I see a Pegasus, a Unicorn, a Hobbit, a wizard, or a guy in bullet proof pajamas who flies faster than the speed of sound.

I am reading threads and looking at many news websites that question if Jesus was real and question if he was really was resurrected on the 3rd day. Let us all assume Jesus was not the Son of God and there was not God period, the people who mocked the believers were right. Although let us all say he was alive and Jesus is real and people Mock them and Mocked Jesus do you really think your good deeds will grant you forgiveness and Jesus will allow you into the Kingdome? Is it really worth the risk to face God at judgment day? If you believe there is no God why and then why do you feel it is justified to mock others who do?

Believe it or not I don't... I do not get joy out of making fun of someone. It may not be my thing but if it makes them happy good for them. Again I am no way perfect but making fun of someone is not my thing. |

Again I am no way perfect but making fun of someone is not my thing. Take the science vs creation threads that always pop up. Whether one group trolls the others thread irrelevant, but you always and up with the creation/religion folks saying "Oh yeah, well what about this?!" and somebody posts a scientific explanation, or a link to some video or study pointing out something the religious person didn't previously know, and then it's escalated to the next "Ah ha! Gotcha" which is then again refuted by facts and logic. Then 10 pages into the thread someone comes along and says the same "I ain't come from no monkey!" type of comment that was already discussed extensively in the 2nd page of the thread and it starts all over again. At that point you reach a level of frustration that you just want to start calling people stupid (but of course I'm calling anybody stupid). |

This thread should be good. And OP, to answer your question, not all atheists are like that. I am a Christian, and I have several atheist friends. The behavior you are referring to has more to do with being a douche than being an atheist. And douches come in all shapes, colors, and faiths. This! It isn't the belief or lack of belief that makes an asshole. Some people are just confrontational assholes...they can be Christians, atheists, Hindu, Muslim...makes no difference. Such is life. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
how can a god have a son? That is actually a good question. Jesus was born a human being, and in that way He is God's Son. But He was, and always will be, co-equal with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Triune God. He is not "below" God in any way. He is part of the Trinity. |
