ΑΩ: What is the most loving thing an Atheist could say to a Christian here?
What is the most loving thing an Atheist could say to a Christian on Yahoo Answers?

To me, there seems to be so much negativity between the two groups — I’d like to hear something positive.

Please, no sarcasm on either side. There’s enough already.

Well I don’t believe in the angry white god on the far off cloud called heaven, does that qualify me?

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love and blessings

Your brother
Don

Stop your superstition and concentrate on practical solutions.

Answer by NO CHANCE WITHOUT ZILLA
That’s asking a lot of someone who is continually maliciously reported by *some* of the Christians here. Gimme a minute. I’ll think of something, I hope…

All I can come up with is “I wish you peace.” (But to the many good Christians {they know who they are} I send hugs and love and joy. All that good stuff :D)

Will you be asking this question in reverse?

Answer by Satan’s Angel
Some of my best friends are Christians, and I love them for who they are. What you believe and the religion you practice do not matter to me. I do not believe in any kind of “God” but I would never try to stop someone else from believing.

To each their own.

Answer by Athei-love <3
Well, its hard. I do not dislike them as individual people, I dislike the groups they belong to.
