More lies from christians EXPOSED..::::::NEXT>......?

Question

All christians always complain how there so persecuted, but there isnt one time in history where christians were persecuted specifically for there beliefs. The christians complain that they were persecuted under Nero just because they were christians, but like all the things christians say, its a lie. They were persecuted because they were railing against the government, not because they were christians. They brought it on themselves so that doesnt count as persecution. NOW, and as for there lies that there persecuted today in some countries, they also brought that on themselves. The christians go to other countries to try and convert everyone, there just instigating. If they didnt want to be persecuted then they shouldnt try and convert everyone and then complain that there so persecuted when people fight back on behalf of there own religion or non religion. The truth is that all of the persecution in history comes from christians again non christians. What do you have to say to that?

Answer 1

The Christians have done, and are doing more persecution than any other group. They make the Nazis look like saints.

Answer 2

Your whole arguement is based on inacuracy. All christians don't claim they are persecuted. Most of your arguement has some fact, but All persecution has not been done by christians. Muslims are persecuting Jews right now in the middle east. Muslims are persecuting Christians right now in Africa. Muslims are persecuting non muslims in all predominately muslim countries right now. So, you might want to use that arguements against islam as well as christianity.

Answer 3

That's like saying "persecuted" homosexuals "bring it on themselves" for being gay! You basically remove any valid examples of persecution. At first you say there's not a single example from history of a Christian being persecuted for his or her beliefs (absurd, by the way), then you say today Christian missionaries in other countries bring persecution on themselves for trying to convert people - but converting people is at the core of Christian beliefs and therefore, you are contradicting yourself.

I *HIGHLY* reccomend you check out the following website for examples of persecuted Christians; type "martyr" in the search bar! http://www.catholic-forum.com/SAINTS/indexsnt.htm

Answer 4

We are being persecuted right now. We did not go to certain countries, but where born in certain countries. Our ancestors where the rulers of the lands. Now that a new "religion" has come we are persecuted, if you think that we deserve this, then there is nothing I can say.

Answer 5

And if President Bush made you worship him as a god would you do it or be persecuted? That is why Nero was a beast of that time. Railing against government yes, no I won't call you god go ahead and kill me... I wouldn't do it either. Christian's were persecuted because they didn't follow the custom of worshipping the Ceaser as a god which was a Roman requirement of it's citizen's. Would you?

Answer 6

The Soup Nazi also says, "NEXT!"
My response to you goes something like this:
"All Questions From Live And Direct, Are Grammatically Deficient"
Follows is a list if errors at a glance:
their, it's, (,), doesn't, their, they're, they're, (sentence fragment), (,), shouldn't, (,), they're, against, .
Not to mention the simple fact of the gross sweeping generalizations. Do you personally know all the christians to truthfully say "all christians"? Have you personally seen "all the persecution in history"?
If not, then you are an egotistical, maniacal, idiot and a moron.
And if I could see you face to face, I have no doubt, you would fullfill my lowest expectations concerning your lack of breeding and education.
I would like to know, are you inbred?

Answer 7

True that Christians sometime bring the persecution on themselves, but there are times when they get persecuted because of their beliefs like when someone posts things here like, "More lies from christians EXPOSED..::::::NEXT>.......?"

If you want to inform people of others lies or try to deceive someone else, then do it more professionally, and constructive.

Answer 8

According to the New Testament accounts, persecution of Jesus' followers continued after his death. Peter and John were imprisoned by the Jewish leadership, including high priest Ananias, who however later released them (Acts 4:1-21). Another time, all the apostles were imprisoned by the high priest and other Sadducees, only to be freed by an angel (Acts 5:17-18). The apostles, after having escaped, were then taken before the Sanhedrin again, but this time Gamaliel (a Pharisee well known from Rabbinic literature) convinced the Sanhedrin to free them (Acts 5:27-40), which the Sanhedrin did, after having flogged them.

The New Testament recounts the stoning of Stephen (Acts 6:8-7:60) by the members of the Sanhedrin. Stephen is remembered in Christianity as the first martyr (derived from the Greek word "martyros" which means "witness"). Stephen's execution was followed by a major persecution of Christians (Acts 8:1-3), led by a Pharisee named Paul of Tarsus (also called Saul), throwing many Christians into prison. According to the New Testament, this persecution continued until Paul converted to Christianity, after reportedly seeing a bright light and hearing the voice of Jesus on the Road to Damascus, where he was traveling to carry out more imprisonment of Christians (Acts 9:1-22). Acts 9:23-25 reports that "the Jews" in Damascus then tried to kill Paul. They were waiting for him at the town gates, but he evaded them by being lowered over the city wall in a basket by other Christians and then escaped to Jerusalem. Understandably, he had difficulty at first convincing the Christians in Jerusalem that he, their persecutor, had truly converted and was now being persecuted himself (Acts 9:26-27). Another attempt on his life was made, this time by "the Grecians" (KJV), referring to a group of Hellenistic Jews (Acts 9:29), whom he debated while in or around Jerusalem.

There is some debate over why Paul, before his conversion, and other Pharisees persecuted Christians. According to Paula Fredriksen, in From Jesus to Christ, the most likely reason was that Jewish Christians were preaching the imminent return of the King of the Jews and the establishment of his kingdom. To Roman ears, such talk was seditious. Romans gave Jews at that time limited self-rule (see Iudaea Province); the main obligations of Jewish leaders were to collect taxes for Rome, and to maintain civil order. Thus, Jewish leaders would have to suppress any seditious talk. In cases where Jewish leaders did not suppress seditious talk, Jewish leaders were often sent to Rome for trial and execution.

Answer 9

I say your wrong.

I have examples. If you dont believe it was persecution BECAUSE of their faith, look it up.

According to the New Testament accounts, persecution of Jesus' followers continued after his death. Peter and John were imprisoned by the Jewish leadership, including high priest Ananias, who however later released them (Acts 4:1-21). Another time, all the apostles were imprisoned by the high priest and other Sadducees.

In 429 the Vandals (who were Arians) conquered Roman Africa. Christians were discriminated against; Church property was confiscated. Thousands of Christians were banished from Vandal held territory.

1.5 million Armenian Christians and Syriac Christians (Assyrians) died during the Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1917. The event, which became known as the Armenian Genocide, is considered the first genocide of the 20th Century, one of the biggest in terms of number of victims, and was a direct inspiration for Hitler's Final Solution. However, it was often ignored or given little significance by many Western governments for most of the 20th Century, due to political pressure from Turkey.

It is estimated that over 1.5 million Christians have been killed by the Sudanese army, the Janjaweed, and even suspected Islamists in northern Sudan since 1984.

Christmas Day 1998 - 180 homes and stores owned by Christians are destroyed in Poso, Central Sulawesi.

After the Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks undertook a massive program to remove the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church from the government and Russian society, and to make the state atheist. Thousands of churches were destroyed or converted to other uses, such as warehouses. Monasteries were closed and often converted to prison camps, most notably the Solovetz monastery becoming Solovki camp. Many members of clergy were imprisoned for anti-government activities.

Tang Wu Zong ruled China from 840 to 846. Known as a Taoist zealot, he first suppressed Buddhism in China for its perceived excesses. He then attacked all other "foreign" religions, including Christianity. Nestorianism, the only Chinese Christian branch at that time, was virtually wiped out in China.

23 Jan 1999 - Graham Staines, an Australian Christian missionary aged 55 years, and his two sons, aged 8 and 10, were burned to death in the state of Orissa by members of Hindutva Parivar, a Hindu nationalist group. Staines was accused of making derogatory remarks about Hinduism, fraudulently converting local tribals, sexually assaulting a villager's wife and slaughtering cows, the most sacred animal to Hindus.

In Sept. 2002 eight Christian missionaries were beaten during worship services by Hindu fundamentalists.

In Oct. 2002 the governor of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu issued an ordinance aimed at preventing people from converting to Christianity, on the pretext that such conversions occur due to fraud. Christians may be sentenced to up to three years in jail if convicted of such a crime.

Research it before you start spouting off about something you know little about.
