Christians hate atheists for their freedom?

Name: Anonymous 2006-09-20 0:47

It makes sense if you think about it.  Christians have this all-powerful authoritarian figure telling them how to live out their lives.  Not only do you get punished horribly for stepping out of line, but this authoritarian is omni-present and will always catch you.  There is literally no freedom to do anything.  The most amazing thing is they don't realize this, or don't admit it.  This God does a better job than Big Brother could ever possibly dream.  But deep down in their hearts, they know they are being watched and controlled and it makes them angry to see those of us who are free.  Thus, they lash out at us.  Please do no fault them for it though, imagine how quickly you would become like that if you knew there was someone watching and condeming you every time you masturbate.

I think we should help our christian brethren escape this oppressive fascist called God.

On topic: When I came to believe that God doesn't influence the world, he just watches it, I didn't feel "freer". It was kind of bleak to think about, but mostly it didn't change my life. So, I really doubt that Christians "hate your freedom". That's a little ridiculous. When I was a good little Lutheran boy (not), my pastor said that athiests were just missing out. She didn't hate them or their freedom. This has pretty much been the viewpoint of every Christian I've ever asked.
This aside even, the OP still made tons of factual errrors:

>>1 Not only do you get punished horribly for stepping out of line
Completely false. This varies incredibly between denominations, and its one of the biggest dividing factors. Catholicism, and more specifically, Roman Catholicism, is really the only major Christian denomination that believes in "punishment" for sins. This usually consists of confessing them, and if that's not enough, sometimes you have to pray. The "horrible punishments" like public humiliation have pretty much since been abolished. Jehova's witnesses and a few others still do it sometimes, but that's a very small minority and by no means an accurate representation of a "Christian" belief.

"There is literally no freedom to do anything"

Completely baseless hogwash that is so untrue that I literally could not even begin to point out how wrong you are.

"they know they are being watched and controlled and it makes them angry to see those of us who are free"
Again, baseless drivel. I'm so glad you know the opinion of roughly 2 billion people, you must be proud.

"Thus, they lash out at us."
More nonsense. Any Christians that lash out at athiests are extremists and very much in the minority. Just because they yell loudest doesn't mean the rest of their religion backs them. Same applies to Muslim extremists.

"if you knew there was someone watching and condeming you every time you masturbate."
Again, Christians that are against masturbation are very much in the minority. I think its kind of hot that someones watching, don't you? Maybe God will lead me to the right picture to cum to :D

"I think we should help our christian brethren escape this oppressive fascist called God."
Fascism
a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Who's fascist here? I'll give you a hint: you.
