Intolerant Christians ; Some Or All ? by jayriginal: 9:48pm On Oct 04, 2011
Some Christians on nairaland like to generalize about atheists. To them, atheism is a religion, atheists have faith in science or evolution or that there is no God (depending on who you talk to).
No matter how you try to explain that atheism is simply a lack of belief in God as he is presented, reason hardly prevails.
Shouldnt it be fair for the same rules of generalization to apply to christians ?
They accuse muslims of violence and barbarism and terrorism conveniently ignoring the fact that their own religion has done a lot worse than they accuse Islam of. An important reason we hardly see the barbarism in Christianity is the separation of religion from the state. However it still seems to exist albeit, in the inner recesses of some.

Since certain Christians (they will soon "draw their legs out"wink tend to make sweeping statements about atheists (in blatant disregard for the obvious) can we be justified in doing the same to them ?
Take this for example
davidylan:

Read the bible . . . no where do we see Christ compromising with the pharisees and sadducees all in the name of "tolerance". On mount carmel, Elisha slew 450 prophets of baal, he didnt go around holding them by the hand or asking them to usher him into their temple in the spirit of "love". You dont seem to understand your bible at all.

Is this the Christian position ?
Is this why some of these people are so bitter and aggressive to anyone who does not agree with them ?

When you consider that the thread in question was titled  "frosbel" Learn How A Good Christian Behaves With Muslims And Tolerates Others, the problem becomes obvious.

if this is true then calm down. this verse comes to mind

Psalm 118 vs 10 All the nations circled me and in The Name of Lord Jehovah I have destroyed them.

in a comical way i'll say

All the nairaland atheists circled and gang up against the christians and in The Name of Lord Jehovah we have destroyed them

@Frosbel, Can you explain how how Atheism and Islam REMOTELY correlates? Last time I checked, christians and moslems happily join hands to attack non-religious people a.k.a atheists. It doesn't matter if christians and moslems don't see eye to eye. To them, an atheist is the "greater enemy" and they are ready to put away their differences to join forces to fight atheists. The thought of someone not believing in anything is unacceptable to them.
