Atheism Question

Why are Christians easily offended when a atheist like me question the existence of God?

I didn't mean to disrespect their belief but when I just only told my doubts and suspicions about it in a scientific & logical way, some of them said that I was insulting their religion... (The only worst line I said was like: " the meaning of God is likely non sense)

You'd have to ask them, I guess. But, from experience, I'd suspect that any questioning of their belief system and god, which demands that they do not question their god, is alarming to them. The bible tells its users that non-believers are evil, or that they are liars, and/or that non-believers should be killed/shunned. The bible is quite unclear and contradictory on a lot of stuff, EXCEPT for atheism. Atheism is punished with death, and after death atheists are punished in hell. The greatest crime is to deny the christian god. So christians can view atheists with suspicion, and in some cases hatred, because that is what the religion teaches.

What bible are you reading? The main versions say that if a non-believer cannot be converted, then they are to be killed or shunned, as well as having their property destroyed.

Well, some Christians are easily offended by that comment, because they have had to try to convince people of God's existence so many times. I mean, wouldn't you get tired of trying to endlessly convince people of something?

That's because they wouldn't need to be convinced, they have the freedom to believe or not believe in what they want. As a matter of fact I recall one of God's gifts being freedom.

True. God does give freedom. But the freedom He gives is different. See, the freedom you get from God, you get when you walk in his ways.

^ That's not what I fucking meant. People have the right to believe in whatever it is they want. The only wrong thing is when the abuse their freedom by deliberately acting inhumane, being an Atheist isn't inhumane.

I wouldn't care as long as you don't express your opinion in an ignorant and offensive manner.

I'm a Christian so when people question God I feel the need to defend Him. It would be like me telling you that your parents didn't exist and there may (or may not) be proof that they do exist. I trust Him and love Him so it would be like me telling you that person who you trust more than any other in the world and love was fake. It all depends on who you ask.

Usually, because they feel like you're disrespecting their beliefs. " the meaning of God is likely non sense " You're damn lucky you didn't got ripped to shreds for saying that. Its damn scary being an atheist.

Or you're just simply stupid for not believing in Him.
Or they feel like you're in darkness. Without God, you will go to Hell. They feel the need to safe you from that, it is their goal.

These are a few examples. Not all Christians are the same. Some follow God in different ways. These three covers a neat overlay area.
