Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by zataxs: 6:39pm On Oct 02, 2011
God=me


"Because I was constantly being told that I'm rejecting God, and I knew that wasn't true, I decided to research rejection, which made me aware of its effects. My studies took me in a completely unexpected direction. The epiphany (pun intended) was rather shocking. The evidence indicates that the personal god is a manifestation of the ego, which explains a plethora of theistic tendencies, including their typical dislike of atheists, who theists subconsciously perceive to be rejecting a part of themselves. God is Tyler Durden; and the first rule of Jesus Club is you have to talk about Jesus Club. The second rule of Jesus Club is you have to talk about Jesus Club." (by DarkMatter 2522)

Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by zataxs: 7:05pm On Oct 02, 2011
you mean the converse,  not reverse I am sure,

Well, I really doubt this, I can show you many examples of what I am saying,  In fact I have at least one very offended Christian in the post "Atheism Is A Religion "right now,  have you watched the video?

^ While Jesus is not considered God my over 50% of the theists,
almost all the theists are not arrogant, compared to the self styled 'self assured' atheists.

you are a typical example. You have decided that you are correct in your view of God, even though in reality you are defenseless against other humans.
as the saying goes, " there is no atheist in the foxhole" when bullets are zooming by, left and right of you and people are dying right in your face.


When an atheist is put to the test of extreme trial, suffering greatly, he wil get to a point that the pain will make him cry out to God.

when he is in state of ease, he is arrogant, with his nose in the sky, doubting the existing of his Creator.

I think Muslims are arrogant for the following reasons :

- Classify themselves as the chosen few while condemning the Kafir as less than animals
- Dictate to GOD how he should save mankind
- Challenge the Holy Scriptures that were written generations before Muhammad
- Arabize GOD and put him beyond the reach of multiplied millions
- Prevent Muslims from leaving the faith
- Oppress women like cattle
- Accuse the Jews of racism when in fact Muslim Arabs are the No. 1 racists worldwide

it's the other way round. Atheists get more offended by Christians.
Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by noetic16(m): 9:06pm On Oct 02, 2011
@OP

Atheist claim God does not exist . .yet they spend a lot of energy discussing, debating and attacking His personality.
Its the other way round.
Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by harakiri(m): 9:35pm On Oct 02, 2011
@sweetnecta,This is the problem with you people. What makes you think an Atheist will scream "god" in time of distress? Have you put it to the test or do you assume everyone would react like you would? Speaking for myself, I have gone through things that would force the so called born again Christians run to babalowos to seek "help and guidance" and during that trying phase of my life, I coined it as "one of those phases". Not everyone is like YOU! Get your mind right!
Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by zataxs: 10:25pm On Oct 02, 2011
if an atheist screams God when he or she is in danger. it does not mean god exists. it actually means nothing.
Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by zataxs: 10:30pm On Oct 02, 2011
there are many christian hate groups that specifically target atheists. it is very kind if you all watched the you tube video linked. it is short and to the point. that wikl pretend us from having to repeat things unnecessarily.

I have known and worked with people of all faiths, from hindus to buddhist, shintoist, Confucionist, Taoist, Zoroasterist, etc. The christians are by far the most intolerant , insecure and most ingnorant of the very faith they profess.
I have never been harassed by a muslim, a hindu, buddhist or members of any other religion for that matter. I get harassed everyday(even today) by christians to come and join their (Lonely?)religion. When I politely say no thanks , they probe for my reasons, when I give my reasons, all hell breaks loose. At the end of every encounter, I'm insulted and condemned to eternal hell fire.
It is human nature to get frustrated and push back once in while.
It is also human nature that when I see anyone in this forum or any other public forum lash out at athiests or agnostics, I would usually fireback in defence of my right to believe or not to believe all the religious scrap out there.
Once stand up to defend my right, then i am called an evengelical athiest.
Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by harakiri(m): 7:18am On Oct 03, 2011
@globexl,It can be really tiring. In the real world, I don't even bother explaining myself to anyone (unless the person shows genuine curiosity to learn and isn't looking for holes to sink his/her conversion hooks in). I just stare at them as if they are sheep (doesn't the bible call them sheep by the way?). Arguing with them is pointless. A lot of them will go as far as spreading rumours that you are into a blood cult society. They will manufacture tales about you that people believe without doubt (after all you neither go to church or the mosque). They believe you MUST be serving "something". If there was a drug called "basic common sense and rational thinking BP", I would use every last dime I have to buy as many as I can and give free to Nigerians. Religion and Nigerian home videos have taken over their senses. They are tiring.

It can be tiring, you won't believe ii but just 6 years ago I used to reason like that. . . .If you tell me you were an atheist when I was a chrisatian i will probably run away from you because I will automatically assume you are of the mythical devil, hence you will be tagged as a bad person by me. . . . .Most times I don't blame them because they don't really know what they are doing. . . .They are just lost in a bubble of delusion and craziness. . . .Coupled with the fact that the black man is naturally very close minded unlike the white man. . . .

@Mazaje,If I tell you the countless persecutions I've endured ever since I dumped religion,you'll pity me. The last one was from a close business associate months ago. We had been working on some deals for quite a while and none yielded anything. He began to blame our predicament on my godlessness and I was forced to cut him off. Shortly after we parted ways,I got some big breaks on my own and this same guy started spreading rumours that I was involved in blood rituals. This is a grown man in his late fourties and he's older than me with about 17years! You'd expect wisdom comes with age. Even my younger siblings look at me as an alien from mars and they only recognise me as a human being when they need my help. It's really sad but I have developed thick skin over these things.

Quite accurate. I posted that video a while ago and what happened? The thread was derailed by some angry religious fellows. I simply wonder if they watched the video and realized what was being rejected.

Here's the link to it where we can see another faith based initiative in action.
Re: Why Christians/Muslims Get Offended By Atheists by harakiri(m): 10:58am On Oct 03, 2011
ROFLMAO @ Jesus club. The part I don't get is how religious people "rationalise" Atheists who are unsuccessful as being so because they are godless and when the Atheists are successful, they say the wealth comes from diabolical means a.k.a the Devil. How the arrive at these "facts" remains a mystery. They keep talking about persecution of Christians but who is really being persecuted? Are Atheists not the victims? Every now and then,someone asks me if I'm a Christian or Moslem. When I say neither, the look in their eye betrays them (they look at you as if you are either a demon or possessed by one). They start preaching the "word of god" to you as if you haven't heard it all before (or know their bible more than they do). When you politely tell them you aren't interested, they either continue talking about what they know nothing about or they start making snide comments about you bring possessed,in bondage or needing deliverance. It can be really irritating but these are almost everyday experiences. The general assumption is that if you aren't religious, then you must be an "evil person" and I begin to wonder why Nigeria keeps moving backward with all the abundance of religion and "god fearing" people.

@Harakiri; none of these ideas will come from muslims, because we accept that all provisions come from God. All successes from God. All failures comes are permitted by God, as tests, reminders, cautions, etc.

@Mazaje; he called me terrorist. then qualifies it with useless.
Here you are wrapping me with the wrong label.
You never stop insulting me, even though I can have you as a son.
the arrogance of you.
As i have said, and I do not hate you, you are a poster child for a muslim not to marry badly.
You insult your father, his people, his religion.

Its worse in Nigeria cos most people are uneducated, close minded and generally stup[i]i[/i]d. . . . .Most people don't know anything in Nigeria so its hard for them to understand when you tell them you don't believe in their cleverly concocted mythologies. . . . .When am in Nigeria I mostly play along. . .When am in Kano with my muslims cousins I act as a Muslim, when with my christain cousins, I act as a christian just so that they leave me alone. . . .When in Europe I let every body that tries to disturb me know my position and I've noticed that most Nigerians here accept atheism cos most of their host(the Europeans) are mostly atheist or agnostics so they are just forced to accept or tolerate you because there is nothing they can do to you. . . .Most just feel you are trying to copy the white people. . . .I know exactly how it feels in Nigeria. . . .

Yes, I called you a useless terrorist ONLY because you are constantly threatening me with violence. . . .You use words like" I will send rhino to finish you completely or I will beat you up"  Its only a terrorist that uses such language and you are one, since all what your religion teaches you is to cause bodily harm against others that disagree with you. . . .Respect is reciprocal, no?. . . .You said I must be a bad child, eh?

The fact that I don't subscibe to any religion helps me in Nigeria at times. When I tell my Christian sisters I have no religion, they're shocked but also intrigued and fascinated. They begin to look at me as a bad boy while in actual fact I'm a nice guy to the core. Girls in Nigeria say they want God fearing guys but they are attracted to 'I don't give an f' guys and my non religion helps foster that image. In the end more girls to my crib.
