To be fair, most people will say that under the right circumstances.
The headline makes zero sense, atheists are not tolerant.
If they say “your God is not real”, respond with “then why are you so afraid of Him?”.
I feel sorry for atheists, so sad, so fearful, so worried all the time. (Yep they will say they aren’t, such denial)
Great final response!
I remind them that atheism is also a faith based enterprise.
I’ve heard lots of Christians say that to non-Christians. Did you counter with an non-arrogant...”Yes, He is”?
“When I turn down their offer of enlightenment, they become sour to the point of having a face that resembles a cat’s ass.”
There’s a faith-lift for that...
A response I picked up from another forum to an atheist:
“For someone who says he doesn’t believe in God you sure as hell invest an awful lot of effort fighting Him.”
It’s funny that atheists sometimes demonstrate more faith in God than Christians do. Just in a round-a-bout way.
The roots of atheism are always moral not intellectual.
“As I expected, responses ranged from the ultra-juvenile to the shamefully stereotypical.”
Welcome to New Atheism, where logical argument is replaced with a plethora of 4 letter words.
“Telling someone that their entire belief system was fraudulent, followed by imbecilic judgmental rhetoric”
Wait - was this a Catholic vs Protestant debate on Free Republic?
LOL!!!!!!
Maybe the anger from these athiests is driven by deeply held fear that they’re wrong. Or, much like the gay-mafia out there, a fear that they’re beliefs and/or lifestyle will NEVER be considered normal or acceptable.
Answer to an Athiest: If I am wrong, what have I lost? But if you are wrong, what have YOU lost?
Being an Atheist is all about eliminating your competition.
The 3 most prolific murderers in history (Mao:Gold, Stalin: Silver, and Hitler:Bronze) were militant atheists who ordered the deaths of tens of millions of ‘non-believers’ in fulfillment of the ‘sacrament’ (genocide) of their ideological ‘religion’ (socialism).
A quintessential description of the Liberal.
Youtube videos pushing atheism is a great place to find them.
The same atheists who are intolerant of the Biblical G-d are big fans of the religions of "indigenous pipples." In fact, one of the arguments the atheists use is "chrstianity destroyed thousands of beautiful precious indigenous religions!" Which, I assume, means that if there had been atheists back then they would have formed a Wall Of Human Flesh to protect the shamans and witch doctors. I also assume (from the way they argue this) that they'd gladly bring every one of those extinct religions back, which would actually make more "idiotic, bigoted, unenlightened" religions in the world, not fewer.
I notice that both sides of the G-d argument seem to assume that the whole issue revolves around chrstianity; ie, an argument for G-d is an argument for chrstianity while an argument against chrstianity is an argument against G-d. How many "atheists" are actually rebellious former chrstians pitching a tantrum against the way they were raised?
Statistically religious people tend to live longer happier lives, have more successful marriages, more children, live in bigger houses, drive bigger cars, have competitive advantages in school, sports, and business. Non-religious people envy these mysterious advantages. The nature of envy is not to have what someone else has, but to destroy what they have. Some of it is they would love for there to be a God and see you as someone that could challenge their hopeless beliefs.
