What do you think about Non-Christians?

[NacDan]

As an atheist, I'm familiar with all sorts of stereotypes about Christians; many of which are not particularly flattering (they are: boring, uneducated, homophobic, racist, sexist, condescending, stubborn... etc.).

I don't take much of this very seriously. Personally, I am of the opinion that many of the generalizations are false when applied to the majority of Christians, but certain individuals/segments can be found to fit each one, just as can be said for nearly all things. I try to at least interact with somebody before I too hastily categorize them.

However, that is not the point. I want to hear what you have to say about Non-Christians in general and atheists in particular. If you were going to meet somebody you had never seen/meet/heard about before and you were told they were an atheist, what impression would that give you of the person? This doesn’t have to be all negative just because my examples where, but I anticipate that is where this will go, and I am fine with that.

That said, I'm not anticipating this thread catching on, but if it does, let's try to keep it civil and respectful. Furthermore, I'm not looking for a discussion about what it means to be Christian, just what YOU have to say about people who aren't.

I love them.

Speaking as a former non-Christian and former atheist, some of them are pretty great.

I believe they just haven't gotten enough information yet, and I definitely hope they will one day. Took me 30 years (but then I've always been a late bloomer).

Aloha in Jesus

I LOVE THEM ALL AS GOD LOVES THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! even though it is hard sometimes, i pray for everyone on here. i dont care how many times you guys say Jesus wasnt God and that God isnt real and even in a sense mock Him and me for it... I STILL LOVE YOU GUYS and am glad you are on here, it just makes me want to read my bible more and get closer to Him, and i have a hope that you too might see the light of Christ through me and maybe one of you all will get saved. im not boring and far from it, im not homophobic i just pray for their sins to leave them, but they dont scare and or threaten me and i do converse with them and even have a general friendship with a lot of homosexuals.

oh and i am none of those aforementioned things. just because there are some "radical" christians out there that are like that doesnt mean that all are. that is like saying the kkk is how all white people are... it just isnt true.
