Atheist Tolerance Revealed

A Twitter re-tweet from an atheist telling a person of faith “…your God isn’t real.” The arrogance of the statement was obvious.

To be fair, most people will say that under the right circumstances.

[roylene]

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)

[madameguinot]

Great final response!

I remind them that atheism is also a faith based enterprise.

[Olog-hai]

They’ll say what?

[stuartcr]

I’ve heard lots of Christians say that to non-Christians. Did you counter with an non-arrogant...”Yes, He is”?

[spankalib]

“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...

[MeganC]

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.

My mistake - forgot the ‘ ‘ around Tolerance. (Included in original post)

“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?

[MrB]

It’s not that they fear they’re wrong, it’s that they know they’re wrong, viscerally, and don’t want any reminders around of that fact. That’s why they hate you so much.
Same with the abortion debate.

[UCANSEE2]

Being an Atheist is all about eliminating your competition.

[bassmaner]

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).

[YHAOS]

“They cannot abide a different opinion or belief in something. Even without ‘pushing’ my beliefs on them – which I habitually never do to anyone – they felt compelled to push theirs onto me . . .
”The intention was to gain an idea of how Christians are seen in today’s modern society. The result was the exposure of a societal group so bitter, so judgmental that they cannot engage a Christian without the reflex to condemn and discredit.”

A quintessential description of the Liberal.

[MrB]

Liberalism is simply the political expression of the religion of humanism and atheism is humanism, the belief that man is autonomous and is the source of truth.

<> And every faith based belief system requires a sacrament. Too bad the atheists and progressives chose the human sacrifice of abortion as theirs.
