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]

@NeonPanopticon So are typos. You concentrated so much on typing all the colours of the rainbow that you left your spelling unchekced. Lol :)

@NeonPanopticon And you half-got mine. Lol :)

@NeonPanopticon No more dangerous than those who oppose it. To each their own, but if they don't believe in God, there's really no point in fighting for something you don't even believe in. 🤔

@NeonPanopticon Yes, well, you're not talking about Christian people there. You're talking about radical, emotionally imbalanced, negative charged religious fanatics. Huge difference.

@NeonPanopticon We should be outspoken against violence on any hand, religion or not. Religion and Christianity are two different things. But we just can't target religion and say [b]it's[/b] the cause of all violence, yet ignore those who hate religion and rebel against it. No matter what society we live in, there's going to be violence and crazy people who take things to the extreme. It seems to me that the very ones who are cursing, condemning, and pointing the finger at any religion, are the ones with hate in their heart, not the Christians. Jesus said in the last days, people would call good, evil...and evil, good. I see that happening today.

@NeonPanopticon Oh, now I see. You hate the fact that I believe in something you don't, so you'll criticize that, and the fact that I think for myself and wish to believe in God. Listen to your own words. Why is it that I have to believe "the observable universe" in your opinion, and you get to criticize what you call my "invisible well-wishing."??? Where's the love there, buddy? And then call my beliefs "one of the main veins violence, bigorty, and willful ignorance come from." Wow. Yeh. Your own words speak loud and clear, the prejudice of this subject.

@NeonPanopticon Do you think you could carry on a conversation minus the living color? Hey....you're the one who brought up willful ignorance, not me.

Now, that has me laughing. No. Sorry. You can't upset me. You call me all these names, etc., judge me, then tell me you hate the fact that I believe in something pointless. That's not even hurtful. That's funny as all get out. ROFL I don't have time for people like you. You're the very type Godspeed is talking about. Just a meaningless troll whose words can't hurt because they mean nothing. Go talk to the wall.

@NankerPhelge Actually bad points. The contest isn't between religions and science. The true opposites would be faith and skepticism, and plenty of harm is done by skeptics.

@NeonPanopticon The Bible says it's okay to murder unruly children? What about the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill"? If this religion is going to be respected it first must be consistent and devoid of duality.

@NankerPhelge [quote]Deuteronomy 21:18-21 ESV
“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.[/quote]

@NeonPanopticon Really? Still, that's in Israel, not in the UK.
