We should pray and forgive the Atheist on a daily basis [Spirituality & Religion]

The Atheist are not necessarily wicked but they are weak and seek to wear down those who are blessed with joy with their negativity and mean spirited nature. We should not fall into their trap. Do not let them contaminate you with their horrible attitude. We need to forgive them and be patient with them everyday.

1. You assume atheists are negative and mean-spirited. You are wrong.

2. You assume atheists are weak. You are wrong.

3. You assume you can be contaminated with some make-believe homogeneous attitude. You are wrong.

4. You assume they need your forgiveness. They need nothing from you. You are wrong.

Never have I seen a group of people with less a sense of humor than evangelical Christians. Never have I seen such weakness among numbers as looking at a ofgroup religious fanatics who think they need to do nothing but stay in God's favor in order to be saved from the rigors of daily life. Never before in my life have I seen and experienced such intolerance, indifference and outright hate and prejudice as among Christians in America today. I will choose an ethical atheist over 7-day-a-week churchgoer at the drop of a hat.

@Graylight We forgive because we want Gods blessings and we forgive because we truly love our enemies, even those who hate us!

@Carazaa forgiveness is for the self, not the other person. I am in no need of forgiveness from anyone from whom I do not ask it specifically. To assume that you're doing God's work by tolerating the necessary evil of others is, quite frankly, condescending.

1. You assume atheists are negative and mean-spirited. You are wrong.

You guys do a poor job of convincing her of that.

2. You assume atheists are weak. You are wrong.

She's not wrong. You guys are spiritually weak.

3. You assume you can be contaminated with some make-believe homogeneous attitude. You are wrong.

Again, she is not wrong. If we're not careful, we can become spiritually weak like you.

4. You assume they need your forgiveness. They need nothing from you. You are wrong.

She is not wrong, your attitudes are way off the mark and you, like us, need forgiveness from God for acting out of character. We forgive because He first forgave us.
