Many Christians don't agree with what John Allen Chau did. His heart was in the right place, but a missionary still has to respect the laws and culture. It would be a like missionaries sneaking into the Philippines without a passport or building a church building without city approval. God is ultimately in control and finds a way to make things happen.
So god killed him since he's "ultimately in control". Interesting.
1. We don't believe in god. So there is no resentment about god. There is resentment against people like you who seem to think that you have some national privilege that non-believers do not.
Like I said, they would never admit to this. You may not even realize it is there on a subconscious level.

Then how come I never see atheists from other countries attacking their religions? Nope, it's always Christianity.

The impression I've always got is that an atheist would rather cut off his tongue than ever admit openly that they were wrong.

Probably so. lol I constantly question why I bother wasting my time here.
Everyone is proselytizing and no one is listening, except for the cheap shots. I enjoy the cheap shots because their proof we never have to actually grow-up no matter the age.
Nope. Wrong. Many of us do listen and occasionally agree on limited points.
You have asked it before...and more times than I care to remember and indeed, you have been given the answer more times than I can remember so it is us that are perplexed that, here you are asking it again.
n.
And yet this thread is up to 8 pages in less than 18 hours. Maybe having asked the question a second time has generated some discussion. I don’t post on forums of which I have no interest. I drive a Subaru. You won’t find me telling people that buying a Ford or a Chevy is foolish.

Everyone is proselytizing? The, Gabfest, stop it!
