Why are Atheists so Obsessed with Jesus and Christianity?

Discussion in 'Religion and Spirituality' started by FortuneTeller, Jul 3, 2023.

  1. Seems the religion section here is bombarded with threads started by atheists almost on a daily basis that focus on Jesus and Christianity? Why are they so obsessed? Is it just part of their mindset to do so?

    Why don't they post hate threads about Islam or Judaism?

    Maybe they don't want to look like they are anti-Muslim or anti-Jew?

  2. Islam and Judaism are following their leader’s ideals while the bulk of loud and radical Christians don’t? I think they’re hating on hypocrisy, just a guess.

    Atheists and religious fanatics (everything is 100% literal) they ignore all the coincidences or the finer feelings that point the way.

  4. Yes, Islam with their suicide bombers.

    And what is a "bulk of loud and radical Christians"?

  5. dear fortuneteller,

    rephrased quotes:

    Do not be dismayed if the world hates you, for they hated me first.

    They of this world, listen to those of this world, but hear you not, for you are not of this world.

    -------
    It is important to accept that if you follow the path of Jesus you will not find approval or acceptance in the world. The path He teaches is to free us of this world -not to be a part of it.

    If we love the things of this world, (including acceptance by the world), we are an enemy of God.

    Why?
    -----------------
    God is not of this world.

    ------

    Have compassion and love for those who hate you. (1)
    Do not expect their love or acceptance.

    For He came into the world He created and the world knew him not.

    Darkness hates the light.
    (This of course is spiritual darkness.)

    Why would an atheist, create a post about Divine Love and God?
    They know neither, and do not even believe.

    Never be dismayed by attacks from those who are in darkness.
    They do not understand or recognize the Light.

    This age, more than any other, has set science/doctors/etc above the Infinite Intelligence, above God. They look to science to prove God for them. (The cart before the horse.)

    ------------------
    In a store check-out line a fellow attacked me with:

    "How do you know God exists? Have you seen him?"​

    (Yes. I too was astounded that he could not understand how ludicrous his words were. :) )

    Belief comes first - knowing second.

    No belief without "proof" is not really belief at all.

    -------
    The trolls lives are empty (spirituality empty which of course is the only real reality).

    Have love for all, compassion for all. (1)

    ----------
    "Never Fight with a Pig, - both of you will get dirty and the Pig loves it" is the title of a book by the ex CEO of Remax reality.

    'Pig' in biblical terms does not mean looking down on another - it refers to those who cannot appreciate spiritual wisdom.
    --------------
    Simply work on assuring your own salvation first. That is a big enough job.
    "They" will do what "they" will do.

    -------
    Note: (1) Please understand that compassion in no way means looking down on another. Snobbery of righteous is a sin. No person is higher than another in God's sight.

    It's just like me when I was not a Christian. I hated Christianity and didn't want it to be true. I want to denigrate it, attack it and hope it wasn't true.
    Christianity is true. It's commands are righteous and good. Even non Christians have to admit it's commands are good: humility, kindness, love, patience, justice. Honoring your parents. Respecting authority. Doing good to others from the heart.
    There are mountains of evidence to prove God and Christianity.
    No, it doesn't mean all Christians do what the Word says, but God's commands are good and righteous.

    Good testimony.
    Much better than some one that claims Christians are 100% literal,100% of the time .
    REALLY?? How many Christians that love Psalms one , ever said this??
    Think, or ever said they are exactly, ''be like a tree, planted by the rivers''
    LOL get real .
    BUT when someone does not believe the WORD of God, like many in media, they make up lies all the time. And slander Christians all the time.
    Its like the media does not care for the Word of God, but they sure tried to slam President Trump over 2 Corinthians , called it Second Corinthians LOL:D:D[Both are correct]

    Christianity is true.
    ...
    -----------
    Yes, absolutely.

    In many Jesus testimonies (see thread) people say:
    'It's about a relationship not about religion'

    Jesus calls each person to an individual relationship with Him.​
    We are to step into the light, the love, the heart of Jesus.

    To those 'outside' they think about religion A versus B versus C etc.
    I do not feel that this is correct when thinking about Jesus.
    In my opinion, Jesus did not want a religion rather each person to enter into a personal relationship with God and return to Him.

    "I am the Truth and the Light and the Way."

    "I am both the sheep-gate and the shepherd."
    "All that I say is what the Father gives me to say. They are His words not mine."
    "My sheep know my voice and they follow me."
    "If you love me you will keep my commandments." (teachings)

    ---------------------
     
  9. "Love God with all your heart."

    One can't find/enter the heart of God by using the mind alone. (God is so much vaster than we are.)Those outside feel that they can prove/disprove God with their (human) mind.


    To the Jews in John 5:

    "You search the scriptures in vain thinking you will find the keys to the kingdom of God"

    "The kingdom of God is in your midst but you do not recognize it."

  10. This is also translated as:

    "The kingdom of God is within you."
