Why do people think that athiests are ignorant or closed-minded?
I don’t think many Christians think atheists are all ignorant or closed-minded, but here on Yahoo Answers a lot of them post ignorant remarks about Christianity because they’re trying to act clever or to just bash other people’s beliefs, so some of us may react to that when we answer them. I can’t answer all your questions, but the one about living by your own standards goes to the heart of the matter. People are corruptible, reason is the ***** of desire, and ultimately the only standard a person will have is self-gratification. People who live by their own standards often end up as slaves to their own inner demons. I know that will sound like offensive nonsense to you, but I have come to believe it is the truth. Also, God wasn’t created.
