Well I've been prompted to start this thread because I am often annoyed by things Atheists say and I often see such comments on facebook, in my workplace and just about everywhere else where we mix with those of little or no faith.
This latest one often crops up: "Christians are the worst, bigoted, small-minded and nasty. The nicest people I know do not have a faith."
Let me reply to this: NO! The Bible tells us there is no one good - not one. We are not bigoted or small-minded but simply pointing out what is right or wrong in God's eyes and we say it in love. If a Christian is being "nasty" he/she is not reflecting the love of Jesus but that is all part of man's imperfection."
Actually from my own point of view Christians are kind, loving and giving and this is what intrigued me and led me to want to know why Christians were different. It is why I "dipped my toes in the water" which ultimately led me to God. There are some amazing Christians on this site, brothers and sisters I have never met but love like my own family. I see their hearts and some appear to be VERY close to Jesus and this is reflected in their posts. No one is going to tell me that those of no faith are "the nicest people" it simply is not true.
Anyone else?
