Why do so many atheists expect open mindedness from conservative christians but refuse to be open minded to the concept of a God?

Hypocritical in my opinion.

An open-minded (about the existence of a deity) atheist would be an agnostic.

Also, no atheist expects open-mindedness from conservative christians (paulists), because that would be like expecting a hairball thrown up by a cat to gain sentience.

Now, try a better troll tactic, this one won't work.

@daisymay Your reply doesn't provide any civil or relevant information other than the fact that you're just angry. Annoy somebody else lol.

Right back at ya, toots.

You've accused atheists of being hypocrites, while simultaneously implying that conservative christians are open-minded, and I calmly explained how incredibly ignorant your assertion is.

You're obviously trolling, there is no such thing as an open-minded conservative christian. They do not exist.

@SW-User Aww, can't refute, so must delete? Sad.

Whatever floats your boat miss or sir. Whatever you are. It's whatever you want to believe. You haven't discussed anything beyond the confines of anger so you're just wasting your time and my own lol.

@daisymay Nope. I just decided a more civil approach is best. Sir or madam. Can you say the same? Poor angry babe.

I educated you in my very first sentence. You've obviously gotten your feewers hurt, or you wouldn't keep goading me.

Two digs at trying to insult me based on my gender isn't civil.

There, some more education for you!
SW-User
@daisymay Oh go suck on a dick. You're just another asswipe of a tranny who is mad at religion and can't stand it when someone criticizes your precious atheism. Stay off tumblr.
SW-User
@daisymay Your mind is filled with anger sir or madam. I suggest you fill it with kindness and compassion. Thank you. 😘
@SW-User You can’t possibly be a Christian and say such ugly things to someone.

@SW-User There's some more of that civility! I get it that you and your ilk don't like to be correct4ed on points you obviously know nothing abut, but it's the only chance you have for learning something.

An open-minded (about the existence of deities) atheist would be an agnostic. Words mean things.

Keep blowing up those strawmen, though, it makes you look super powerful.

@bijouxbroussard And you can't be 1/3 black and get offended when someone disagrees with anything African American.

@SW-User That's the third time. So civil!
SW-User
@daisymay Why are you attacking me? 🤣 Your efforts are in vain. If you really want to be the example of kindness and acceptance that so many atheists or even agnostics CAN be, why respond with such anger and offense? Are you not an adult?
@SW-User Actually, the U.S. and my birth certificate says I absolutely [b]can[/b]. Look up that “one drop” rule if you don’t believe me.
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard That's just a sheet of paper. The one drop rule was orchestrated during slavery. I'll never take people like you serious. "Oh my great grandma was black so now that makes me fully black."
@SW-User I wasn’t aware that atheists or agnostics had the onus to be kind (although I know many who are). But Christianity supposedly [b]does[/b] teach kindness and tolerance, turning the other cheek, etc. 🤔

@SW-User You keep trying to insult me and then accuse me of attacking you. Classic.

Why, no, none of us have ever heard of the concept of projection before. Would you like to provide an example? 🙄
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard I just see kindness and tolerance as objectively good things that every side should have, whether atheist/ agnostic or Christian.
@SW-User Hate to tell you, but my father is black, my birth certificate says I’m black. And if you saw me, that’s how [b]you’d[/b] identify me. That’s not something any kid can take away from me. I’ve been black longer than anyone’s [b]thought[/b] about [b]you[/b].
SW-User
@daisymay But I haven't insulted you once. 🤨 This site is filled with so many trolls. What do you get out of arguing with me online? Validation? Sorry that I can't give you that. 💜 You're taking your anger out on me.... I get it but this route simply will not provide any peaceful solution. Just more internet anger that I will certainly not lost sleep over.

@SW-User [quote]But I haven't insulted you once[/quote]

Oh, so now you're also the arbiter of who should be insulted by what you say? You used the "sir or madam" slight three times, so far.

I'd ask which other aspects of my life you'd like to control, but I already know the answer to that from all the "open-minded christians" that are out there.
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard I don't consider mixed people black because that adheres to ancient policies where even a drop of African simply dilutes the entire person, making them "less than." I hate that but if you want to call yourself black, that's your choice.
@SW-User

You actually did TRY to insult her (along with your little partner in crime) when you decided to bring gender into the equation.

You only proved one thing. No one expects or thinks Christians are "open minded" -- quite the opposite.

That's OK Boo Jesus loves you.
@SW-User I agree with that. But you asked why atheists expect Christians to be tolerant, and it’s probably because that’s part of Christian teachings. But atheists who are willing to accept the possibility of a deity are not really atheists.
