How do you view and judge atheists?
Do you accept their coexistence in the same community you belong to in the first?
If yes, how do you handle them?
If no, what do you suggest as a fair solution for such coexistence to take place?
Conversely, same questions would be also posed on atheists? |
I’m tolerant of them as long as their tolerant of me. I’m intolerant of
Communist Atheists because they are intolerant of religion and the freedom of worship. Commie Atheists and religion cannot co-exist, one has to wipe the other out. The Soviet Union was a good example.
In terms of judging, I let God do the judging. I can’t always read what’s in a person’s mind. I can have an opinion, but I don’t make a habit out of lynching Atheists; although I feel very tempted at times to lynch some religious people. As far as I concern, an Atheist is better then a religious hypocrite.

The force of life has to begin somewhere, all energy has to flow and originate from a common source, and therefore, a religious person is more enlightened because he can look beyond the physical boundaries of this universe, while an Atheist cannot because he denies the existence of God, who is the invisible force behind the physical universe and the source of all energy.
