I'm not reading 20 pages of posts.
If you think being a Christian gives you the right to judge other people you're nuts. You're own religion says you aren't to judge or you'll be judged yourself.
THAT is the height of hypocrisy.
Christianity isn't the be-all end-all religion. Frankly, I'd trust a Buddhist before I'd trust a Christian. At least they practice what they preach and they don't going around stabbing everyone in the back for oil.
The "Christian" in the White House? He just helped destabilize the ME.

If I am, and I don't think I am, what of it?
I don't have any hangups about telling the truth about what I see going on here.
"Born" thinks he's special because he believes. There's no other way to look at it.

Let's count the facts:
1. You don't believe in the Trinity
Originally posted by AfterInfinity
2. You accuse all of the Christians in this nation to be liars.
Originally posted by AfterInfinity
3. You say, despite your obvious contradictions to the Bible, you are a "true Christian"
Originally posted by AfterInfinity
4. You are so enlightened, you are able to tell people, "Your view is wrong" or "your view is right".
I've never had an atheist preach to me, try to convert me, knock on my door early Saturday morning, or tell me that I'm a sinner who's going to burn in hell for all eternity simply because I have different beliefs. Atheist aren't actively trying to change laws to restrict my rights, they don't tell me that my place as a woman is to be subservient to a man, and the ones that I have encountered seem to be truly good people who do things because it's the right thing to do, and not because they're afraid of eternal damnation and punishment at the hands of an all loving god.
I respect that.

What right do you have to judge atheists?
I have every right to judge atheists, I dont have a right to condemn them.
You going to suggest that Christians are to remain completely non judgemental here? I hope not because that will show a flaw in your logic and comprehension of Christian doctrine.
Please dont pretend you know what you are talking about, it looks silly.
and Its already been discussed only a few pages back.
John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
We have to make righteous judgements against evil.

I haven't read the whole thread so please help me out here. Is this an "atheism is evil" thing or an "atheists aren't capable of recognizing evil" thing?

Human beings are one of the least righteous species on the planet, so that theory goes straight into the trash as far as I'm concerned. Why do we even need to judge? What's the point to judging? "I feel this way about what you did, so that means my opinion or my perspective is more important than anyone else's and you should pay for it."
It's completely ridiculous. Maybe if we focused less on judging and more on understanding, we would find ourselves judging less and less and understanding more and more. Which is better, judgment or understanding? Understanding breeds compassion, judgment breeds contempt.
Do the math.

I didn't have a "hissy fit". I asked some questions.
I was not arrogant, but you certainly are.
Get a grip. Take a pill. See a psychiatrist.

While granted many religions cause violence and death, Christianity is one of the few that teach that violence and death are not acceptable.
Atheism and evolution can teach death and has many times.
Buddhism steals human life, we were not created to be slaves to religion like Buddhism teaches.
Buddhism takes away the freedom of action and makes people submit to evil authority
