Some of the links I get are really good questions and I do my best to answer it to the best of my knowledge. Today, I was given two different questions. Well, one wasn’t a question, it was a statement that shouldn’t have been on a question site, but I answered it. The link to the statement I was asked to give the rest of the story. I did and I had fun doing it.
In that case I was told that I was unhappy because I was an Atheist. That statement is completely false! I’m very happy. Just ask anyone that knows me. I was told that I’d been mistreated. Name one person that hasn’t been mistreated at least once in their life by someone? Then I was told that I was blaming God for being mistreated. If a person mistreats me, I blame that person, not the god they pray to. I don’t believe gods exist. I’m not going to blame Santa because I don’t get what I want for Christmas. Then I was told that there would always be people that trust in God and I couldn’t get them all. Funny, because I didn’t know I was trying to get them all. Not sure what I’m going to do with the ones I do get though.
This was a really good conversation. He went on to tell me that I had a lovely name (which I thanked him for) and I had a great potential with life. Then he asked me to stop chasing darkness. Just because I don’t believe in a god doesn’t mean I’m chasing the darkness. The conversation ended well and he said he would pray for me. Felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t start anything by it. I don’t really care if people pray for me because it’s not going to affect me in any way. That was the fun conversation for the day. I had no big problems with that person. He was the only one today that didn’t have the intent of insulting me. I would gladly have another conversation with him again.
The next question I was linked to my answer wasn’t even given any thought because of my screen name. I’ll admit, it could be a little scary to religious people. The question was, “Science and religion are two completely different things.. So why does my christ and culture book have science in it?”. And I told her what my teacher in high school (Christian school) told me when I asked him this same question. He told me that that science was in the Bible Study (religion) book because God knew all the things we have now found through science today. That is what I was told. That is what I told this woman. She told me that it was two completely different things and that “&& coming from you name being "just1atheist" im not really going to take that in”.
I will never understand why religious people ask questions and think that nobody will answer their question that doesn’t share their beliefs. I don’t think I will ever understand it. If you want something answered and you don’t want it answered by people that aren’t Christians, why the hell are you posting it on a web site that allows everyone regardless of their religious beliefs? If you want your question answered only by people that share your beliefs then ask it on a Christian web site. Don’t get mad when a person that doesn’t believe in your god answer the question you posted on a freaking public web site. That’s just crazy!
I’m used to being insulted when I answer a religious question, but I rarely laugh about it as hard as I laughed at this one. I do get tickled a lot, and this is why I love Twitter so much. They send me the best links. I know that probably none of you care about this, but I just had to tell someone and since you’re reading it, you’re the lucky person. Congrats!
