I'm a nonbeliever genuinely interested in learning more about Christianity. But I find that, anywhere on the internet I go to speak to Christians, it is always inhabited by an even greater number of arrogant atheists who are in all honesty the most insufferable people I've ever seen: a rabid pack of intolerant atheists who arrogantly seek to embarrass, denigrate, and disparage Christians.
Usually, I just troll them in these places, because you can't really have an honest discussion with them around.
But it has me thinking: why do they commit so much energy to disrupting Christians in online communities?
Why is it so important to them that people believe what they believe? Why are they so determined to deprive a Christian of his or her faith?
I recently made a thread on the Christian Forums on Amazon, and within just a few posts, a pack of about ten atheists showed up and just drove every other Christian off the thread.
This is seriously what they're like.
A bunch of Christians gather together. "Hey, you guys wanna talk about Christianity?"
"Sure!"
(Meanwhile)
"Ugh! My atheist senses are detecting Christians. Quick, my brothers. We must go over there and start acting like we're smarter than they are while harassing them about their faith!"
Something about Jesus must really frighten them. And I guess I'm curious and what to know what it is. The fervent way in which they seek out and actively look for Christians to fight with is something that can only be deeply rooted in an almost emotional, if not spiritual need to disrupt people.
