Why do Christians get so indignant when people diebelieve in their god?

[milkweeds]

Myself being one who didnt believe in God until 21......and then became a christian...
I have been a teacher of religion for 40 years, and understand where you both are comign from.
the theory of a life.............is just like going to school and college; for the athiest ... it can be compared to the analogy of him being=an earthly professional student.....
for the chrisitan,= it is one seeking for that graduation and a vocation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
an ahtiest looks at life as the end of the road.....and a christian sees it as a testing ground...for the rewards that are to come
to that athiest, if confronted with porn, crime, adultry, etc...he sees no spiritual reason for accountability from anything other than the police or parents or personal conviction. But the chrsitian sees it as a stumbling block to that eternal graduation.......
their anlaogy of ..NO purpose" for the athiest " simply means you have no goals other than this earthly life, and see your death as final...thus giving you o goals for anything eternal... your life has no meaning in the spirutal sense.To the ahtiest a good job and earthly monitary rewards and family relationships is your highest asperations...
for the christian...it marks their steps in soceity.....their character ...their demeanor...their approval with a God........to a good chrsitian, their life is filled with good things, goodly people, and good works.....an athiest isnt marching time with how spiritual they are or how many good deeds they can perform...they are more singly minded on their inner circle...and their ladder pace in achieving a monitary stability..
in essence.......the athiest is more self centered.....self serving as a whole....in that their core emotion isnt to love his fellow man to any great degree....The chrsitian is on a heavenly quest.....(The good chrsitian) to be as loving, as compasionate and chariable as possible,to give his fellow man an uplifting day and to bring him also,... to the level of change where he might fall back and rethink his position with his creator
basically we chrsitians want to grab by the nap of the neck, those who might fail to see any eternal meaning.........and with hopes they will be enlightened enough to walk the journey......with the rest of us............... and receive the same reward.....
we christians are so happy with this element in our lives that we dont want anyone else to miss out.
