Why do skeptics get so emotional and aggressive in opposing biblical Christianity? Why does it bother them? Why does it matter at all to them? [Spirituality & Religion]

Think about the well-known skeptic Richard Dawkins. Why does he spend so much time writing and speaking against Someone (God) he doesn’t believe exists? Why is he so aggressive against biblical Christianity? In an ultimately purposeless and meaningless existence, why does it matter to him if people believe in the God of the Bible and the account of creation as outlined in Genesis? Why bother fighting against such people when, from his perspective, eventually no one will even know they ever existed? They claim that they care about people and argue that believing in creation is harmful to society. But something deeper is going on. They aren’t fighting for the truth, but suppressing it.
These Attacks Confirm God’s Word.

I know that there is no evidence for your god 'it,' I'm talking about my God, who is the one true God. I'm asking about Him.

You're getting confused again. It's quite clear that "it" refers to your god, I'm just treating it with the same respect you show for others'.

Now, I've explained why I doubt the existence of your god, you can explain how you know The Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't live.

@NeonPanopticon [quote]Its because religion is dangerous if left unchecked.[/quote]

That's why it's not about religion, never has been or ever will be about religion. It's a close relationship with our Father in Heaven, the one true God.

No, she wouldn't. She'd still be right where she is as a free thinker. Free thinking come Yahweh, the one true God. Responsibility also come from the one true God, Yahweh.

@yeronlyman Now he says, "Thank you for telling me who I am. If you can't, then let me do my world in order my way and stop speculating"

@TheOrionbeltseeker haha
Present evidence included lol

Because religion needs to be suppressed. When it has been allowed power is has created places like Iran. A question that needs to be asked is why do religious people need to make all countries into theocracies when they could simply move to a place like Iran which is perfect and Godly and see what religious power really does and why it needs to be kept in check.
Also it is hard to tell the difference between someone being religious and scrupulously which is a mental illness. A good measure is: it is a mental illness if it negatively affects the person or those around them. Which many times it does. Yet they and others are expected to suffer because religious sickness is considered taboo to touch.

Yes I do but I use it wisely and not foolishly. Do you have an imagination?

He must do, he has an imaginary friend he calls "yehweh", or something like that.

Yes Jesus said that in the last days people would fall away, and start saying where is his coming?And their hearts will grow cold, and mocking those who love God!

Nika2002 · 22-25, F

I agree that Dawkins is rebelling without a point.
I disagree that his doing so confirms God exists.

I think it's ignorance, and some skeptics are influenced by Satan without realizing it and some live such empty lives that their only 'pleasure' is mocking, insulting and swearing at people who see the world differently. So sad because God could give them an amazing peace, joy and purpose in life

Adstar · 56-60, M

Because they are being influenced by spirits.. spirits that are in strong oppositon to God..

A true Athiest who trully believes God does not exist does not get emotionally upset about God.. Like i don't get upset about Sanata Clause because i trully do not beliueve he exists.. You cannot hate someone you know does not exist..

These ""atheists"" who get upset about God are not real Atheists they are tools being moved by the spirit of the air..

Ephesians 2:
1 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; {2} Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to [b][u]the prince of the power of the air[/u][/b], [b]the spirit[/b] that now worketh in the children of disobedience:"

Temporallube · M

This is because they truly fear learning about THE TRUE AND LIVING CARBOHYDRATED GOD!

Right Grandpa Godspeed?

You should change your name to SpaghettiSpeed 🤔

Sharon · F

@Temporallube r'Amen brother, r'Amen.

Carazaa · F

That’s a good question! I think it has a few reasons,

First Christians are like strangers in the land because we are walking with God snd they hate us like they hate Jesus. “Darkness hate the light!” As Jesus says!

Second, they are deceived by Satans lies into believing his lies!

SW-User

The devil has deceived them to believe lies and receive not the truth. The devil knows the truth will set men (and women) free.

Amen, sister, amen.

"They claim that they care about people and argue that believing in creation is harmful to society"

Hmm sounds a lot like Christians who have to "spread the word" to prevent people from going to hell. They are two sides of the same coin sometimes.

LadyGrace ·

@SW-User Sounds like you're making fun of Christians.

SW-User

@LadyGrace Nope. Just pointing out that Christians and many atheists have more in common than they think. Both think they have a better of way living and understanding the world that they need to spread and that people who don't believe as they do are worse off.

LadyGrace ·

@SW-User With Christianity, this is the way Jesus told his disciples to spread the good news of hope and life eternal, in Christ, after his death. He obviously was here for a short time, only 33 years, so he encouraged his followers to preach the gospel to the world, after his death. No one is forced to listen or agree.

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

Because he believes that there are good people and bad people but religion is the only one that makes good people do bad things. He believes religion causes a lot of hate and misery.
Read the book "The God Delusion" it is all explained. I've read the bible and spent all my time in religious schools.I dare you to read it.

Carazaa · F

@JimboSaturn I have dedicated my life to help people because God helped me when I was abused and abandoned! I have no idea what you are talking about! More christiAns are killed everyday around the world so please stop your hate speech!

AnonymousJSS · 22-25, F

@JimboSaturn I believe in Spirits and you as an atheists do not believe in Spritis.. RIGHT ??? So how can we be equal in relation to spiritualism when you don't even believe in God ????? What does having kids have to do with anything spiritual ???? You seem to have been triggered by my confidence and so your reacting without logic..

Kids?? Dictatorship?? You're only showing your lack of calm, lack of confidence in what you are standing on man.. Which is kind of logical because you're standing on quicksand spiritually..

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@JimboSaturn who cares about religion when you can have a personal relationship with the living God

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

@JimboSaturn [quote] religion is over lads[/quote]

So? Yahweh, the one true God lives forever. It's a personal relationship with our Father in Heaven that matters, not religion.

It is either because he is perhaps frustrated in his life and he wants everything in his life to be blamed on God

Or

He is a very nice person who cares so much about the world that he doesn't want them to waste even a second of their life on unproductive activities

Whichever is true

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M

I dislike Dawkins and regard him more of an antitheist than an atheist. However, there needs to be done argument against religion if it's used as a pretext to stifle civil rights or indoctrinate people. I say this as a religious person.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

Good question. The lady doth protest too much
