175. I am offended when Christians disaparage my atheism. Who cares?
I have been told my christians that I cannot be moral, that I have no ethics, that I am going to hell, that I deserve eternal torture. This by the way is from my own family members.

I am NOT a Christian and still Christians imperiously demand that I participate in their faith and "turn the other cheek" when I am treated with contempt. Am I missing something? Is there some kind of respect for me in that?

I don't believe in Jesus. I don't believe in God. I am not happy with the ethics of the vast majority of Christians of whom I am aware.

Why don't you just do what your religion says and simply "turn the other cheek?" Or is it that the religion is more about you and less about what it claims?

What goes around comes around. If Christians started treating others with respect they might get some respect.
