Christian inspired by an atheist

Atheists are as irrational as theists? Says who?

Shirley Phelps Roper disagrees....

There is importance in what is said, not so much how it is said. Typically the only time an atheist will refer to themselves as an atheist, is when the topic of religion is brought up.  Atheists on YouTube are going to talk about why they believe religion is false, that is the point (otherwise they wouldn't go under the 'atheist' label). Religion is a very big thing in the world (for good or bad), and on the internet, people are going to debate it with a lot of passion. Religion plays a big part in an atheist's life (it's everywhere). Personally, if I was a believer, I would want to stay as far away from atheists (or more so,  their ideas) as possible - being that their ideas are corrosive to mine. Leave atheists alone! Or at least if they bother you don't get involved with debates, or expect emotion and ignorance (nearly everyone has varying degrees of both).

The wrath of an all-loving god is much more powerful than its love apparently.

The best part was when one of the daughters said "We don't want to be friends with the people of this world", just as Jesus teaches. It seems as if most fundamentalist Christians prefer to get their morality from the old-testament, perhaps they should look in a mirror and ask themselves why they call themselves Christians (other then for the concept of hell).

A True Christian (Shirley Phelps-Roper).

The majority of Christians in the United States are not true believers in their holy-book (in my opinion). They ignore large portions of the book or refer to them as 'metaphor'. A true believer in Christianity should know the Bible inside and out; but that is far from the case, in-fact atheists tend to be more familiar with it. The majority of Christians cherry-pick the nice sounding verses and ignore the unpleasant/primitive ones.

When I first seen Shirley Phelps-Roper on YouTube, I remember at first being disgusted by the incredible hate this person is responsible for. But on the other-hand, it is funny how uncomfortable she makes 'casual believers' feel (more-so then an atheist discussing religion would). In these videos, they (people whom claim to be Christian themselves) refer to her as being "evil" and "sick". Which is a beautiful thing, because she is basing her (and her church's) hate off scripture. When a nonbeliever quotes the nasty/hateful parts of the book, 'casual believers' write it off, but when a Christian actually talks the talk and walks the walk, they are viewed as being 'evil' by other — less dedicated believers. Personally, if I believed that the Bible was a guide to eternal paradise, I would follow it word-for-word as well.

Many Christians claim that the Bible is their source of morality, and the only source of morality. Shirley Phelps-Roper is a perfect example for why that is not the case. While she is a bigot, she is a product of religion.
