Why Do atheists Attack Christianity?

[Gerioke]

NO, Almighty God - The Creator does not appreciate rejection of any kind, nor does He appreciate anyone having a god (little "g") over Him. He hates the false gods and religions. He isn't impressed with your reasons for rejecting Him, nor does He appreciate any thought against Him. After all, He is the All-Sovereign Creator, and He deserves acceptance, love, and obedience. All who reject Him and physically die in their sins without Him will be condemned to the eternal fires of hell. Does this sound like He appreciates any type of rejection?

So God doesn't appreciate rejection, I understand that. But does God appreciate seeking the truth, even when that genuine search for the truth leads one to not accept true Christianity?

An analogy may be like a little kid playing with a football inside the house and broke a lamp or expensive vase, then owned up to what he did and tried to fix it. Obviously the parents would be angry at the kid for playing with the football inside the house instead of outside (analogous to not finding true Christianity), but would the parents also be happy and appreciate that the kid took responsibility for what he did and do what needs to be done to fix it and make it right (analogous to earnestly seeking the truth)? I know it's not the best example, I'm just trying to show that you can feel two different emotions about the same event/person that are quite different from each other.

Even though God wouldn't be happy about someone not finding the whole truth or even being completely wrong, would he also appreciate the fact that the person sought the truth to the best of their abilities, or would he simply not care or worse?

Judging by the differing opinions on this forum, I would venture to guess that very few people accept true Christianity.

That's a good point. I was under the impression that once you were saved and became a follower of Jesus (Truth) that he would lead you to the true interpretation of the Bible. But it does seem to be a rare thing to find two Christians that agree on every single interpretation of every line in the Bible. So, once you seek the Biblical God, how do you know what is the right and wrong interpretation of the Bible? At that point, are good intentions what matters?

One has to seek a relationship with God to find the truth. God never said we had to be perfect. We need only believe.

Simply

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2

Jesus

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:11-15

Saves

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

Men Don't

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:8

Seriously

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12

Truth

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:7

Matters

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mark 8:34-37

You See

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1 Peter 18-19

Yes?

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalms 34:8

I didn't want to just say "Christianity" as many don't think that all sects of Christianity are Christian. For example, when I first came here I labeled myself as a liberal Christian. As it turns out I'm actually not a Christian at all; I'm too liberal and don't have the right interpretation, therefore I'm not a (true) Christian.

The phrase is somewhat tongue and cheek, building off of conservative Christian values where only those who believe my interpretation (or close enough to it) are real Christians and everyone else is lost or posers. It's also tautologous, but it emphasizes an important distinction between Christendom and whatever said reader's requirements for a true believer are....

Trust

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3

In

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Jesus

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Or Not

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36

____________

Believe And Be Blessed Beloved, Be Blessed

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27

Love, Joe

____________

The KING

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. Joel 2:32

The Man Trap

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:5

And The Royal Way

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Jeremiah 17:7

You can be liberal and Christian but you CAN'T reject Scripture and be one. If you are not.....it's because you don't want to be.

Well most atheists that i have met know the bible better than the christians i know. They cannot believe how widespread and influential religion is and try their best to bring down the walls of it.

I always find it weird that they would take the time to learn the Bible.

They cannot believe how widespread and influential religion is and try their best to bring down the walls of it.

OK, but why?
