Why do Atheists and Christians argue?

[NiNJA]

The belief systems do not abide one another so the believers of each argue to prove their former otherwise, both being unwilling to accept their opposition while attempting to prove their belief superior disproving the other by means of value to themselves(eg. Atheist-rational logic, Christian-biblical truths), yet if both assume to be in the right why so argue when they believe to already 'know'.

Because Christians think they have the right to impose their beliefs on everyone else by any means necessary--for example:

Anti-gay laws, homophobia, anti-gay hate crimes such as beatings/killings of gay people and bombings of gay night clubs.
Anti-choice laws, sl*t shaming of women who merely want to control their bodies, terrorizing women who seek reproductive health care, bombing of women's clinics.
Misogyny
Stifling of scientific progress
Child rape by clergy that is covered up, denied, and ignored by churches.
Demonization of atheists, discrimination against atheists, death threats against atheists, etc.
Mutilation of children's genitals because "god" commands it.
Prayer being forced on us with taxpayer dollars by government officials, taxpayer funded monuments to religion on public land, "faith based initiative" which funnels taxpayer money to religious groups.
Etc, etc, etc.


And they cry "persecution" when they're told otherwise--particularly when atheists step in and ask that the Constitution (which demands separation of church and state) be upheld and the rights of all be respected.

Well, argue is still considered healthy.
When another side are trying to do violence to make him right, like what muslim does, then it become another matter.

People argue about religion all the time. Religion is a very serious topic to people. It always has been.

 

[TravisMoore]

Because the church thinks that "kill the non-believer" is the right thing to do.

From what I have observed, it is the Christians who start it. Generally speaking, Atheists don't give a rat's a$$ what Christians believe. When the Christians try to impose their beliefs on whole sections of countries, or via laws in the U.S. then that's when the Atheists come unglued.

The bottom line is Atheists don't care what Christians want to believe as long as it isn't forced onto them. The same cannot be said for Christians, nothing is acceptable to them unless it is done their way with their beliefs.

I don't argue, i advise.

I'm not arguing with Christians, I'm laughing at them.
