Is it normal that people make fun of christians?

I don't really see it much outside of the internet. But when I do see it, it's so theatrical that I remember it. They can't just say "heh, religion", they have to recruit as many people around them into a tribal spaghetti-dance that lasts at least fourteen hours.

Athiests are condescending to all religious people but for some reason they feel the need to be extra condescending to christians.

I think it's weird that in the U.S.A. left-leaning Atheists rag on Christian for having conservative values yet admire Muslims. The Muslims I've met DO NOT have values in alignment with left leaning Atheists. How come they are off the hook?

Because its considered outdated to believe in a God.
Some are likely jealous too that for religious people it's so easy to find happiness.
It's human nature to make fun of or fear things you don't understand, unfortunately.

Most openly atheist ppl I meet are friggin miserable and angry. It kind of annoys me when people say they know exactly how we got here with certainty. Like they were here when it happened snd they know it for sure.

Because Christians won't do anything about it... why doesn't anybody make fun of muslims? Oh, cause they strap bombs to themselves and willingly blow themselves up, or decapitate "infidels", stone women, etc...

They are the "scary ones". So all of the ridicule is thrown onto Christianity. But let me tell you this... if I saw someone making fun of my mom for believing in Jesus, I would not hesitate and deck them!

Like others have said, some people take huge issue with religion, especially Christianity, most likely due to some deep rooted resentment/bitterness/misery.

I think with some, it's also an "edgy" teenage rebellion type of thing. They think they're going against the grain if they're outspoken against Christianity.

Please don't let people discourage you from practicing your religion of choice. It's nobody else's business but yours and as long as you're not hurting anyone else, it shouldn't concern them.

Sure, people are dicks and bitches.

But internet atheists and bible thumpers are the same breed of mean. Neither help their own cause and are an embarrassment to themselves. Both sides have decent people, you can tell by their lack of proselytizing.

If you have confidence in your beliefs, you don't have to disrespect others.

I really think people just need to leave each other alone. Who cares if a person is Christian? Who cares if they're Muslim? Who cares if they're Atheist? Who cares if they're Jewish? I certainly don't. Its a waste of time hating on others for believing something different from me. XD

Religious abuse in some cases

Religion is a mental thing, a tool used to shape generations. People needed a guide to make it as far as we've came, and religion solved the need for a guide. amen.

Religious nuts here in the states are pretty interested in imposing their retarded views on other people, while complaining that people who don't live in accordance with their holy book's ramblings are violating their religious liberty. Personally, I am fine with all Abrahamic faiths going the way of the dinosaur - these faiths just seem uniquely into bossing other people around.

Yeah. It's normal to make fun of anyone.

At least we ain't catholic

Anyone who follows a religion is a retard. Although, to each their own

Early Christians were routinely harassed and killed, a little teasing will do nothing but hurt your ego. Pray and act according to Christ’s teachings.

I think if people disagree to christianity that is their own right and you shouldnt feel compelled to change their stance just as how they shouldnt try to force you to change your own so as long as you arent one of those Christians forcing your belief on people I think you'll be ok

They invite ridicule.

I am an athiest. I was once a devoted christian until escaping a religious cult. Things changed and i started to see how toxic and horrible some Christians can be while pretending to love a god and preach about love.

Ultimately, It's made me hate Christianity and i found myself mocking them and their religion.
