Christian Condescension

[Kurdt Donald Cobain]

They got atheism and Nihilism confused.

There's seriously too much to comment on. In the end, all I can do is just slowly shake my head and smile. xp

yeah, some christians are jerks. it's hardly spreading the good news to laugh at how stupid you are (which, atheism is stupid, but he/she still didn't have to be mean about it)

Why this statement is a wonderful example of Christian Condescension. Please, if you are going to state that atheism is stupid, back it up by stating why theism is so much smarter.

Since we are talking about demeaning statements, and you just made a demeaning statement I have a small request. I accept and take no issues with you believing in god. I think you feeling at peace and happiness in your life is a very good thing, no matter how you find that happiness. (well, unless it involves hurting people) However now you are stating that because you "found the truth" that you are smarter then those atheists out there. You are taking the stance that you are better then others because God is on your side.

Either do not make demeaning statements like this, or leave the guild. By being a theist you should not be a member, but I think we can be tolerant and let you remain a member if you so wish to. But we have to deal with more then enough people in the real world that take the belief that they are superior for being believers. We do not need it in the guild. If you feel like making anti atheist statements please remove your presence from this guild and do it somewhere else.

Couldn't have said it better. Yes, the person in question was extremely rude in her presentation of her ideas, but how is it any less rude to say "atheism is stupid," especially when you are in a guild full of atheists? We don't need that here. Take your insults to a Christian guild or present your argument in a nicer way. You don't see us going into your churches or prayer groups and saying, "Christians are stupid," do you?

"It's also retarded."

This was just so randomly, childishly inserted into that statement that it made me bust out laughing.

Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously if you call something "retarded"?
