are you for or against Christianity and why?

Answer 1

I am neither if you are refering to your behavior and your trek through life. I myself do no choose it but if you do, I have no problem with it.

Answer 2

Totally against. I think that people need to think for themselves and make their own decisions. I see families all the time that can't feed their kids because they are christian and don't believe in birth control. I see people that preach to high heaven about following Jesus and doing the right thing, but then he cuts you off and gives you the finger. So many people say they are christians, but only seem to act like it on Sunday, total hypocrites. What I hate the most about the whole thing is the way they are always trying to get you to come to their side and join the light, COME ON give me a freaking break! I would rather decide what is right for me and my family as the situation suggests or arises and not look to someone who I have never seen or heard make my important life changing desicions.

Answer 3

This is a fairly broad question... you may be better served by specifying what aspect of Christianity you wish to discuss.

In such a broad sense, it's easy to both be "for" and "against" Christianity. Am I "for" the teachings of peace and love that Jesus apparently stood for and which were spread through his ministry? Sure!

Am I "for" anyone's views that claim to be based on Christian thought? Absolutely not. Many people use the banner of Christianity to back up their own personal agendas...take the Westboro Baptist Church for example.

Christianity, just like any other group has very different pockets of thought throughout it, so it's pretty much impossible to align yourself completely with it or against it.

Answer 4

Ravenwolf said one of the reasons he's against Christianity is because of the holocause "That's why I'm a Pagan/ Heathen". Vatican wasn't for it they just were morons and did nothng to stop it.

And as for pagan/heathenisn Hitler and the nazis attempt to bring back the worship of Wotan is nothing more than this.

You'd actually be against Catholicism. All the problems you mentioned were caused by them. They don't read the bible they just blindly follow what there leaders say. Protestantism you will rarely ever find such things. Its one of the reasons the US has freedom of religion and not Christianity or die.

Answer 5

Against it. To answer why would take books.

Read the following. When you're done then we'll be able to have a serious conversation about it.

"Why I'm not a Christain" by Bertrand Russel
"The Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine
"The Dark Side of Christian History" by Helen Ellerbe
"The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy" by C Dennis McKinsey

Answer 6

Everybody so far has said they're for it because they are Christian, but why?

Why? Maybe because the bible was written by 20 some odd authors ranging from Kings, to Shepherds, to murderers, doctors, pharisees, fishermen, farmers and so on over a sapn of thousands of years. Now have all these books have a sense of continiuty and unity is humanly impossible.

Now have the bible translated over the span of 2000 years from the time of it's first print to today and have everything word for word be the same...yet another human impossibility. They found the Dead Sea Scrolls, because some little boy was scipping stone and heard a crash in a cave so he went and checked it out and found the oldest copies of the old testimant written on Papyrus. Among the scrolls was the book of Isaiah and chapter 52 was the most legible which describes in great detail the life and death of the messiah. They compared the scroll to todays translation and they found 3 minor grammatical differences. The translation was held so sacred back when they first did it that whenever any name of God was to be transcribed they would stop and pray and if they made one mistake, just one they would have to burn the whole thing and start over.

All this to say that the Bible can be trusted and everything in it points to Jesus. It's God's word written down so we can know him. We see his nature, his love for us, it reveals the heart of mankind and it is the key unto our slavation. We know the truth by hearing the word of God and he speaks to us all very clearly the the bible.

So yes. I am for it. I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it's the power of God and we know that the Kingdom of God is not of mere talk but of power. It was that power and love that drove Jesus to the cross, defeating death and calling us ALL into eternity with his free gift of grace.

Amen?

Answer 7

Against. because of all the misery it has caused in the last two millenia. The FORCED conversion of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas,the Inquisition, the Witch hunt/ trials/ Burning Times, pograms against the Jews, the Crusades( ie: Holy wars), and the Halocaust ( approved by the Vatican), Ect, Ect. Ect. I believe the whole religion is just pure evil. That's why I'm a Pagan/ Heathen.

Answer 8

I am for Christianity and I am a Christian. It offers hope with no strings attached except to make Jesus your savior. You don't have to earn brownie points to make it in the life here after.

The worst thing about Christianity is the lack of understanding of what God's word says and PEOPLE try to make it say things it does NOT SAY! that is why so many people distrust Christians, and I don't blame them for the mistrust for the most part. Too many Christians play the judge role on non-Christians and drive them away from a good life. If any Christians want to challenge me on that...bring it on but be absolutly sure of your facts first!

Answer 9

I love Christians as brothers, but there Religion may seem right but it has a pagan background, and is founded on bloodshed, Most are good people but Christianity the traditional and doctrines are false anything besides the true scriptures other than whats commanded by God is false.

Answer 10

You can't really be "for" or "against" a religion in the sense that you root for it. You can be against religion in general as many people are, and you can disbelieve in a particular religion. I happen to believe in Christianity, but that's because of my life experiences and my faith.

Christianity boils down to a faith issue and a personal decision. It's not really a matter of being "for" or "against" it.

Answer 11

I'm for it, because I've felt it and the only other reason I could come up with is that I believed it to a point to where it became real in my head. But of course, I've had dreams before when I thought I had actually lost a limb and I woke up the next morning with everything in place; so I kind of had to rule out the latter option.
