Christians, do you believe that Jews have horns and drink the blood of unbaptized children?

Presumably not.





However, throughout history these stories about Jews were regarded as facts. Now you know better and it seems ridiculous that people ever believed such lies, right?





So why, even with a history of buying into patently false misinformation about other beliefs do I continue to see misconceptions about atheists related as if they were true?





"Atheists are sad, atheists are boring, atheists are angry, atheists can't love, atheism is the same thing as hedonism, atheists lie, atheists have no concept of morality..."





It's not quite the same as thinking we have horns, but it is the same basic idea.





From where does this flood of misinformation stem? Why does it seem like our constant rebuttals to these falsehoods fall on deaf ears?





What would it take for you to see that we are people and not so dissimilar from you?

Christians, do you believe that Jews have horns and drink the blood of unbaptized children?
I don't know, I suppose if the athiests didn't spend so much time hanging out in the religious section, when they clearly don't believe in religion, that would be a start. I mean really, if you don't come here just to put us down, why are you here? Are you wanting to be convinced, or simply like to harrass christians? Those are the only two options I can figure for so many athiests to be hanging out in the religious section. If you guys have a legitimate reason, I'd sure love to hear it.
Reply:I did take the time to read it, it was thoughtful, but I have a problem in understanding a bit of irony. Seems I constantly hear about us christians trying to convert people, but you're basically doing same the same thing. You're trying to "reason" us out of belief, and basing it on politics. Report It

I never believed these things. And I am the kind of person that if I thought that, I would just tell you.
Reply:NO!!!
Reply:hahahaha .. funny
Reply:Because if they realised that we are people like them, they would have to examine the possibility that they are wrong. And most Christians, unintentionally brainwashed as they are, are simply incapable of the thought that something other than what they have been taught to believe might be even marginally true.
Reply:I'm not Christian, though I was raised as such. From what I was always taught, Jesus himself was a Jew. So for a Christian to hate a Jew....they are hating the very faith of their Lord.





Though I wouldn't be surprised if some Christians DO hate Jews. Christians are hateful.
Reply:I thought Jews drank the blood through straws, not horns.
Reply:As a Christian Pastor I have never once thought that an atheist was anything other than another human being.


It may be that our beliefs differ but we all want the same basic things.


Happiness, love and security.
Reply:I hear what you are saying but I have to say that the same misconceptions exist about Christians or fundies as most people call us!


We are all regarded as dim, intolerant, irrational bigots. I have even seen people here call all Christians schizophrenics.


I wouldn't call all Atheist angry but I see a lot of anger towards Christians and a lot of it seems to be coming from Atheists.


I'm not trying to justify the aggression towards Atheists, coming from Christians. It's certainly not what Jesus taught! All I'm saying is, that both sides are guilty of this!


It's really sad that people can't seem to debate their beliefs without becoming disagreeable or even hateful.


I personally know a lot of Atheists and I know that they're generally no more sad or unhappy than other people!


I think they need God but so does everybody else! I'm sorry you don't get the respect you deserve from my fellow Christians!
Reply:If history teaches us anything, its that people will believe ANYTHING you make up about Jews. Really, pretty much anything, no matter how nuts. In fact, the nuttier it is, the more people tend to believe it.
Reply:Atheist have the same problem that us Christians do, some o you just like some of us want to shove their religions down someone else's throat. and are not respectful of their rights to believe what they wat to. if you want to believe some thing, I will never say anything that will change your mind so why thy.
Reply:Why even answer this question, Thanks for the two
Reply:I have no feelings like that about atheism. I am a Christian, and I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. If someone approaches me about my faith, I have no problem explaining anything I can to them, but if someone is obviously not interested, I don't pursue or harass them. If a person is an atheist, that is their choice. I can't choose for them or force my beliefs on them, just as I wouldn't expect an atheist or an evolutionist to force their theories or beliefs on me. To each their own, as long as they aren't hurting anyone.
Reply:There are a number of people who have the notion that if 'one does not believe exactly as I do, do not worship the same deity as I do then they cannot possibly be happy and satisfied with life because I am happy and satisfied.' They have narrowed their scope and cannot see that they aren't the only ones who have belief systems. Some of this undoubtedly comes from religion itself and can be passed onto to them as family belief. When others of other belief systems say they are happy, satisfied or in no need of the deity in question it falls on deaf ears because they just do not have the ability to fathom it. There are none so blind as those that will not see.





The only difference between atheists, agnostics, and believers is their belief in deities; other than than that there are no differences.
Reply:u must be a Jew
Reply:Ha! Ha! Ha! Did u come up this this yourself? It's not funny.
Reply:atheists are just as closed minded as the christians. agnostics are the balance and they arent as quick to say there is a god or there is none and then be closed about it from there.
Reply:Atheists see reality as it is, the depressing state of the human condition, and are able to deal with root causes of depression.





Who wouldn't just want to pray to make the problems go away? And if I did pray, wouldn't anyone who doesn't share my solution, that prayer makes the problem go away, be crazy?





I think its a losing battle, this freeing of minds here.
Reply:Once I heard an Israeli woman claim that Palestinians canibalize Jewish babies. I guess they are spreading the word.
Reply:Atheists don't believe in the fact that we were made in God's image . Why can't they believe that we didn't evolve from lower life forms ? Scientifically speaking , I can't figure why we would actually come out of a puddle of protoplasm being as intelligent as we are . That would be highly unlikely at best . May God bless you and your family .
Reply:You are a breath of fresh air. I hope to see more of your comments here.


I wonder how many will understand what you're saying though. It seems there are more children commenting than adults.
Reply:One day in the distant future it will be seen as ridiculous that people even believe any religious book at all.
Reply:i do think that. they are jew vampires lol





jk





that is a weird question
Reply:hahahahahahah your weired
Reply:No. I don't understand why people believed that in the olden days. I think it is very sad. Jesus was a Jew, so if people were anti Semitic they were hurting him when they hurt his people.





I am Christian and I have many wonderful friends who are atheists, I love them and they are great. Two of my most special friends are atheists. We have known each other since we were small children, for years and years. We are always there for each other and support each other no matter what. I would love for them to share the same, what God has given me is so beautiful and precious, but they know I am Christian, and the way they live is their choice. I don't want to force anything on them.





I am sorry you feel Christians feel that way about atheists. It is easy to say things without realising that hurt they cause other people. As a Christian, I would like to say sorry on behalf of Christians that you have been hurt like that.





Atheists are just people as far as I'm concerned. People come in all shapes and sizes, some nice, some nasty. As I see it, everyone has an inner beauty and can love (yes, even atheist!!), as everyone has the image of God in them. Whether they realise it or not, the beauty is still there.
Reply:Good hook to expose people to your hidden agenda. So have you ever thought of going into politics?
Reply:Why ask this question for just atheists? You hear this generalization for all walks of life.





What gets me is people of ALL religions yap about wanting the right to believe as they want to....but aren't willing to extend that right to others.
Reply:I beleive some of it stems that during circumism, the guy doing the cutting takes the baby boys severed penis in his mouth and draws out the rest of the blood. There was a recent slew of articles in the NYC papers about baby boys getting Hepatisis C from a Rabbi who was performing these brises//brisi. Seeing as how its an age old practice maybe ppl got the wrong idea? About the blood drinking however.
