Do you think your religion requires and/or encourages you to view people who criticize, condemn, or reject it as bad, immoral, or evil? Why or why not?
In Christianity, all have sinned and fallen short. I do not see a skeptic as particularly immoral compared to another non-believer, or any person for that matter. Being skeptical isn't something to be denounced, though I would say being cynical is unhelpful. I know of people who have declared they don't believe in God simply because they were angry at Him for a perceived injustice in their life (I know this because when they came back to God, they admitted my suspicions were correct). It depends on the situation, really, they are different. Questioning and trying to rationally assess something isn't bad, it's when we start closing our minds and blind ourselves, out of anger, or perhaps out of love for our own ways and sinfulness.Do you think your religion requires and/or encourages you to view people who criticize, condemn, or reject it as bad, immoral, or evil?
