Why Must Atheists Be So "in Your Face"?

[the_human_being]

Why do atheists feel they must be so "in your face" with their anit-Christ views? Do atheist not recognize that many folks simply do not wish to be forced into listening to their same old tired and worn-out arguments and the bashing of other members of society? Let others believe as they wish, whether in Islam, Buddhism, Platonism, Mormonism, Christianity, or whether they believe in anything at all. Please - Get out of our faces and just SHUT UP!!

I've never had an atheist knock on my door and try to convince me that there is no God

I've got two in the family and it is an obsession with both of them. They can't talk about the weather or fishing or football without bringing up their disdain for God into the conversation. I don't know how their boss at work puts up with them.

Are they going Door to Door like the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses do trying to convert people to Atheism?

It's possible they bring up their disdain for your gods because they don't like you.

While I disagree with the "shut up" portion, I agree that atheists posses the same superiority complex as many in the religiosity camp.

Atheists lean toward liberalism, and people of faith tend to lean toward the conservative bent. I understand there are exceptions, of course, but I believe the "in your face" issue has more to do with political proclivities than religious beliefs. I could be wrong, your mileage may vary.

Poll after poll show that people of faith are happier than people without. As an agnostic, I've searched and search for that key to more happiness, but I've yet to find it. Surely, I don't want the negativity of the atheist, however.

I tend to say bullshit

However, I have met my share of holy rollers who insert Jesus into every other sentence. They even forced it into the pledge of allegiance and our money

No. What has that to do with anyone except the Mormons and JW's. I am neither of those. Because someone kills someone does that mean everyone does the same? That's stupid logic.

That may be but there's not a single individual on this forum that even is aware of what my religious affiliation is. I don't preach my views to anyone and I wish others, religious and atheists would afford me the same consideration.

I've seen atheists who invoke Jesus and Christ a whole lot more often than most Christians I have met. They appear obsessed with religion or at least their hatred of religion. I don't care if you hate religion and God and Jesus. I just want you to get out of my face with it. It's none of my business and I don't want it to be.

Let's be honest here, you thumpers do show up on street corners hawking your wares. Not as often as others, but you folks are all in the unsolicited sales business

No, it isn't. That would be oppression. Advocate freedom instead and let people be(lieve) as they wish. And yes, I'm speaking to both sides of the debate.

Gallup Poll Indicates Americans Only Hear About Jesus 48 Times a Day

Recent poll results indicate that Americans are only exposed 48 times a day to the Christian message that God loves them, but if they don’t love Him back, He is going to burn them in Hell forever. "48 times a day is not nearly enough exposure," Christian Conversion Specialist, Judy O'Christian argues. "We need to hit these libruls with the message of Jesus' Love, and tell them He'll send them to hell if they don't convert, at least once every ten minutes! If you don't do it constantly, sometimes for hours at a time, they'll start believing silly stories about "science," and so-called, "logic." God wants us to convict these sinners 24/7!"

I've been close to two atheists, and neither one of them tried to push their beliefs on me or mocked my beliefs. I think intolerant atheists who feel compelled to belittle those who don't see things from their perspective, are often doing so to reinforce their own beliefs...similar to how political opponents jab at one another. It's an attitude of: I'm right, you're wrong, end of discussion.

Most atheists I know only speak generically about God
If you don't believe in God, why even bring up his son?

Sarcasm doesn't come across real well in written text, obviously.

I'll make the point that advocating freedom is not on the fundie Christian agenda. They are not honest players. Their agenda is to press a religious perspective that is far from advocating freedom.

By way of example, we can review the laughable circus surrounding so-called intelligent design creationism that has been a hallmark of fundies attempting to circumvent constitutional law.

The industry of extremist Christians is defined by earlier attempts made by "creationists" to force Christian creationism into the schools. They made no effort to conceal the agenda of promoting Biblical literalism. Those efforts were originally titled as "Biblical Creationism" with great candor. Faced with the correct legal conclusions that it was merely religion, they retreated and renamed it "Scientific Creationism," making a half hearted attempt to edit out explicit Biblical references... but that fooled no one. When that met an equally unambiguous decision in the courts, the new version became "Intelligent Design Creationism." In the process, the Christian creationist movement has become progressively less candid, more angry, more extremist and frankly more pathetic.
