It's easy for children to insult other children when arguing. The desire for a person to "win at all costs" is natural to human nature.
All this is just another form of bullying. Can't think of anything constructive so they can sit back and say, "Yeah, well your god is stooooooopid".
Sadly to admit, there's many christians that do this same thing. "Well, you're going to hell",,,,"If they wont obey God, we'll make laws so they have to" Or , "If they wont listen to the message of salvation, we'll just talk louder"
There's too many of us trying to "force" God onto them,,,,,,,,,,,,That's their concensus, and sadly I have to agree.
One thing we have to remember,,,, They don't know God, they have no desire to know God,,,,,,,, There's absolutely no way ever that they will understand what the Bible says or what God wants if they themselves have no desire for it. The only thing we can do is pray and hope the Lord will turn them around, and pray for our strength and growth.
It's easy to get caught up in debates thinking we're defending the faith, but all we're doing is defending ourselves.
Personally when I talk to atheists and with people who insult God, I don't debate, and I don't try to convince them they're wrong. I try to show an unbiased love and show that as believers we're here to comfort and love others. It's more actions than words.
I firmly believe that people don't want to have God in their lives because of the idea of burning forever. They don't want to stop what they're doing, and they don't want to think that they'll burn in hell for anything they've done.
Fear of God is the beginning of understanding, yes this is true. But, Fear of God only comes from those that believe. Everyone else needs love and acceptance and need to be shown that.
It's not the people we fight with, it's what ever controls them that's the problem.
well said, very well said.
more laws will never change a mans heart
