Why do believers feel threatened by non believers?

This is not a discussion on religion vs atheism or a hate post. I don't have hate for them but they're actually taught that non religious people are just bad. They just treat us same or even worse than they do for murderers and rapists. I am struggling so bad because I am surrounded by Christians and it's hard to make them understand just because I lack faith doesn't mean I am a bad person.

One of the biggest problems is it states in their book, there will be a "judgement day"!
They can't help reminding people of that. 🤷‍♀️

@Harriet03 So you want to be blind instead of aware of the future? The judgement is after you die you realize not hear and now. The judgement is simply based on your actions in here and now. You must have a very guilty conscience.

@hippyjoe1955 We're talking hypotheticals hun. No God, no judgement day. Worm food or Ash is are "future".

@hippyjoe1955 your god you are preachy. Don't you ever have anything constructive to say?

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@Bushmanoz Just because you choose not to listen doesn't mean what I have to say is worthless. The fact is you are the one with nothing to say and never stop saying it.

@hippyjoe1955 lol that made me actually laugh, thanks mate

@hippyjoe1955 we listened and we observed well. Which is why we chose not to give in to any kind of beliefs. It's you who chose to turn a blind eye on whatever we have to say. But you're right whatever you say will be worthless because it holds no worth for its reliability. And you are determined not to listen to us. Which is why I am keep saying there's no use for an argument.

@JBird What you don't know is I used to be on your side. I found that your belief system is faulty. So faulty I had to walk away from it before I found a belief system I could believe in. Later I became a Christian. Science taught me that your belief is bunk. Too bad you don't do science.

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 Wait..we have a belief system..because we don't believe in god? How does that work?

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@Bushmanoz Everyone has a belief system. If you believe in materialism or 'science' or the witch doctor down the street is is a belief system. Too bad you aren't bright enough to know that. Too Funny as well!!!

@hippyjoe1955 atheism means lack of beliefs. I think you didn't understand the concept when you claimed to be one.

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 lol..hey, why is science in quotation marks? you don't believe in science?

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@JBird No it doesn't. Atheism means you don't believe in Theos (Greek word for God) You have a belief system that excludes God. Not a smart belief system but a belief system nonetheless.

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@JBird my money says he will say he never claimed to be an Athiest. It's the trouble talking to people like that, they won't have an honest discussion

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 I also don't believe in leprechauns, unicorns, elves, fairies..all more belief systems I guess?

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@Bushmanoz Neither do I. I only believe what I know to be True. That I why I am a Christian. You should try it. You will find Truth beyond truth.

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 My point is, saying something you don't believe in is a belief system is ridiculous, and you still never answered why you put "science" like that? you don't believe in science?

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@Bushmanoz Do you believe in science? Then that is your belief system.

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 No, it's not, that's like saying food is, air is, gravity is. Things like science can be shown to exist and to work and can be tested, I know science works. You should too, the fact you are typing on a forum over the internet should be a clue.

JBird · F

@hippyjoe1955 science is not a belief. 😩😩😩😩 It's fact and very much real. Science is what makes the whole universe.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@JBird Of course it is. You believe science has all the answers. Good Grief but you are thick!

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 We know Science doesn't have all the answers, we also know that science will have some things wrong, and when they find out they do, scientists will have no problem saying they were wrong, it's about the search for the truth..not being afraid of it

@hippyjoe1955 if you don't believe in science, then why are you using phone or any device to access the site? Because the site, device, computer, your car, your house, your food and the very breath you take works on science.

Btw, if you don't believe in science why are you so desparate trying to connect science with faith? Didn't you post a video on how science 'proved' existence of Yahweh? 😆😆😆

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@Bushmanoz Have you ever seen a scientist deny evolution? How about AGW? Science is a corrupt human practice and it is full of fraudsters.

JBird · F

@hippyjoe1955 evolution is true. It happens. Scientists are only doubt on how it happened. Even now evolution is happening around us.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@JBird nice idols you have there. Your god has provided for you.
