Why wouldn’t you want to know? The whole invisible man thing, to me is no different than claiming Trump is Superman’s alter ego.

You ask why are Christians so preachy... well answer in our teachings we are to love everyone and want the best for them so we push for them to know jesus, because if they don't they will never feel the peace, love, and joy as we have..
However is this right, I don't belive so, preaching and pushing does more damage with pushing non believers away. Then help, honestly we should let Gods light shine as non believers see how we are And when they ask why we are the way we are then we get to preach and share God's joy. I'm not a fan of pushy shove it down your throats Christians! And there are plenty of them,(doing gods work thinking this is the way to do so)However non believers are the same way, just seems like this day and age everyone wants go shove something down people's throats because they can and fits certain agendas. Not alot of people have an open mind anymore, and allowed others think how they wish, you guys prove this with politics on here. Because no one can say they are democrats.. What's it to anyone else, if they are Christians, non believers, or believe whatever else... rather if your democratic or republican, but we like to shun thers and push our own beliefs and agendas. No one debates anymore, well all are set in our ways and shove instead of prove why our thinking is right. To do so you have to be open minded to what the others are saying and hear them..
As Christians all we can do is live our life the way christ wants to let his light show and pray that it reaches others to bring him with in someone else's life. Because as Christians we give ourselves too much credit to or power. We don't do the saving God does..
As non believers all they do is hope, that are not wrong when it all ends. It all goes both ways.

Why wouldn’t you want to know? The whole invisible man thing, to me is no different than claiming Trump is Superman’s alter ego. This is like saying that the vast majority of people who ever lived believed in a fictional character. You are welcome to think that way, but when most of the world's population believes in some form of God it has to make you wonder why. I think most people instinctively know that creation could not have just evolved without someone being behind it all to design all these complicated systems that we call science.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

mine was an honest question. it seemed to me that about every time a religious thread was started, or a God topic was posted, the ones who don't believe felt the need to crap all over the thread. sure, they have the right (as long as Paul doesn't mind); but intellectually, it made no sense to me. see my Sasquatch analogy earlier in this very thread.
just curious why God seems to get under the atheists' skin so often.
You only see it because there are so many pro-God posts. If someone made an anti-God post how do you think that would go for them? lol Exactly! If there was one running religion thread, aka the Wordle thread.... I doubt you'd ever hear a peep on it from the atheists. Most don't care what you do. But when there's 5-6 posts on the first page of the forum about religion, they get grumpy. Disclaimer: Like Savell, I'm not an atheist. Just confused.

Here's a question you should ask every atheist you know.
"If one could know for sure whether or not God exists, do you want to know?" The answer to that question tells a lot about a person's heart. I can't believe anyone would not want to know if God exists and what God wants. I know I do. Keith

Certainly not typical of most atheists though.

Pick up a bible. Don't just read it, study it. Am I the only one who has trouble "getting " the Bible when reading the KJV ? I'll spend 30 or so min reading it and just sit there after like  a lot of the ye olde talk just dosen't connect . Same when your trying to talk to a preacher or something and they just say the same thing out the Bible verbatim.... It's like , my guy, you just said what told you I don't understand back to me the exact same way.... Your not helping. Like when your parents would help you with your homework and just keep repeating " IF LIL JOHNNY HAD 3 APPLES AND SALLY TOOK AWAY 2 !!" Got to the point I'll just Google "bibles verses on" whatever and go from there , read a half dozen or so interpretations see what makes some sense
