As an Atheist, I am often accused by Christians of having made up my mind about the bible before I read it, so I ask Christians: Have you already decided that the bible is true before you sit down to read it?

I have nothing against Athiests, but this is like comparing apples to oranges. Christians DO read the Bible, then suss out what they believe and don't believe. That's what Sunday school is for....teaching Bible verses and such. I don't often hear of Athiests who do, although there are a few who converted after becoming disappointed/disillusioned with their religion.

I've said it before on AB, and I'll say it again. I'm so disappointed in my Christian peers! The hate and blatant disrespect for fellow human beings spewing forth like a never-ending font has hurt my heart on more than one occasion. Mr.Josh, your saying you've been "accused" is merely one incident in thousands that plainly demonstrates that this "Christian" approach DOES NOT WORK.

At what point did Christians decide that, if they could just be NASTY enough, they might win an argument, or convert a soul? Come on, guys.....God wants a THINKING Christian, not a hapless sheep. +5
