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

[Fireball]

usually it has to do with the way something was said...no respect and mocking wont sit well with anyone....ONE GOD JESUS...SO IF YOU DON'T LOVE HIM PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE...where someone cares. I like good attitudes.

Because they are brainwashed to imagine that it is real!!!

Not all are like that, I'm a Roman Catholic and I respect others and their views on the world, I would hope others would act the same. I'm not a bible basher and I don't go to church, I just believe that there is something bigger and greater than me out there, and I hope I get rewarded when I die for being a good person.
Also Vicky down there below me, that is the most unoriginal insult in the world, I seen a picture of that on 9GAG and it was about Mac users. Stupid lady, fishin for thumbs, you want some bread with that?

Meh... they join dots differently to us...

“I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring:
Your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t.
Either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t.
Either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.”


Bertrand Russell: There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.
Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting.
But he dares not face this thought!
Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.

Debating with a christian is like playing chess with a pigeon.
It knocks over all the pieces craps all over the board and then struts around with it's chest puffed out like it has won the game!

[Matthew]

Not me. Because its no skin off my nose whether you believe in Jesus or not. As for me, I believe in Jesus.

I think behind all the rhetoric the answer is quite simple; our very existence undermines their precious faith. Here we are, atheists, not believing in god, quite happily living our lives with love and hope and all those things that they believe, need to believe, come only from god and the promise of immortality. We are living proof that you don't need Christianity to be happy. That's a threat to them.

the truth is we are all born into this world dead in our sins (dead spiritually) when a person come to God through faith in Jesus we are made alive together with Christ alive spiritually this is what salvation is and if we refuse the Gift from God which is life then we remain dead in our sins forever.
