Are you as tired of all this "Jesus" crap as I am?

Question

Then stop tolerating it. Proclaim "IT'S FAKE!" Join the Fredom From Religion Foundation.

Answer 1

I'm tired of 'crap' period. I'm also lucky to be in a country where we can dialog. You want freedom? Move to China and you can beat, arrest, and perhaps kill Christians.

Answer 2

Actually, quite the opposite. I am a Christian and while I disagree with some people's technique on voicing the belief I do see Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior and only begotten son of God.

We can talk all day on why you think it is fake and why I disagree but that doesn't matter.

What does is what makes you feel the way you do. Maybe a Christian got in your face or something. That is unfortunate because as Christians we are called to be Christ's ambassadors to the world. So instead of getting into someone's face about it, their walk should do all the talking.

What I mean by that is someone who isn't a Christian will see how a person lives their daily life to determine if Christ is truly at work within them. If a person is always yelling, angry, constantly cursing, not pleasant and things like that, how in the world would anyone want to share the same faith as that person?

Now on the other hand, if a person is calm, warm, kind-hearted, always upbeat no matter the situation, respectful, funny etc...You would either think they are disingenuous or may ask them sometime why they act the way they do. So that person "letting their inner light shine" provides an opportunity to share their faith.

That is how I approach my Christianity. I don't wear it on my sleeve because then I am getting the adulation of men. I don't want that at all. I just want them to at the very least experience/think about my faith (understand it is NOT about me but about Christ who strengthens me). Let it work in their own mind and soul and determine if Christ is truly for them. Will accepting Christ improve my life and how I interact with others? Do not look to see if it is real. Spiritually and earnestly seek it within yourself.

What I try to do is plant the seed of what Christ can do for you. It is up to God and those he has you encounter in the future to water and nuture that seed.

Though you may see my words as stupid or idiotic, Christ truly works for and through me. My life before Christ was meandering, empty and shallow but now I have peace, perspective and salvation. Though the road of being a Christian is not easy due to tough challenges in life but God, Christ and the Holy Spirit give me the courage and faith I need to conquer whatever challenge is placed before me.

I hope that my words have been at the very least thought-provoking and informative!

All the best to you!

Answer 3

Oh yes. REALLY tired of it. I don't bother Christians to become something else so why are they bugging me? All I want is for them to mind their own business. Why do they care what I believe? I used to be a Christian. I'm not going back.

Christians don't realize that Christianity is predominately a made up religion.

Jesus and most of the other people listed in the bible probably existed but that does not mean the bible is accurate. It's a mix of some factual references with mythology from older pagan religions. In fact, a recent study (by Christian theologists!!) concluded that Jesus did not say 80% of what the bible claims he said.

That goes for holidays too and some of the main stories such as the virgin birth and the resurrection.. they are all older Pagan stories that were borrowed for Christianity!!

P.S. Yes, in America we have a right to say what we want to say, that goes for Christians too. But I'm tired of being HASSELED about Christianity. We would have a lot less bickering and contempt for others if religion wasn't force fed to others who don't want to hear about it. We'd get along a lot better if everyone would have the integrity to mind their own business and not force religious agendas.

Answer 4

so the "Jesus Crap" all religions have Jesus. The Jewish religion has a Jesus but their prophet is Abraham. The Christians have Jesus who should be their prophet and then there is Muslims who thinks that Jesus is real but they call him Isa and they have their prophet. The problem with the "Jesus Crap" is that in it there are too many different kinds. Each one is a little different. They cut out the stuff that they don't agree with and don't follow fully. The other religions have one or two denominations and thats why they don't have that many problems with in.

Answer 5

I'm not tired of talking about Jesus but I am tired of freaks proclaiming they want to be "Free from Religion" w/o recognizing that they are such hypocrites. They want to be free of the religion they want to be free from but don't mind forcing their atheistic crap on everyone whether they want to hear it or not! Yes, atheism is a religion.

I'm also tired of hypocritical fools who write questions which attack another religion under the guise that they are "just asking" with the hope that they are going to stir someone up or, better yet, destroy their faith. What high, uplifting and humane things they strive for. Obviously generated from their black hearted hatred of all things.

Oh, that's right.... they're just stroking their egos which are as small as their appendages.

Answer 6

I don't like the way you've framed your question. The FFRF is a great organization but to use words like "tired of" and "crap" just makes us atheists look like hatemongers.

Yes, Christianity is beginning to go way too far. I become extremely frustrated when i hear Christians claim persecution, or trying to validate their beliefs by creating fake science (non-science actually) to support their irrational world view.

I also get angry when i get assaulted in public with scripture or someone handing me a flier and saying i should go to their church. The best thing i've found to do in that case is to politely tell them you arent interested, thank them for caring, and be on your way with a smile. Don't engage these people in debate, just smile tell them you object to what theyre doing without attacking them and thank them... this puts a good face on atheism and gives the ones in charge less power to claim that we are a hateful bunch ruled by Satan.

Lets work to put a positive face on atheism for all the footsoldiers of Christianity, so that when their clergy tells them we are a rotten bunch of immoral, evil people they will have reason to doubt.

Answer 7

It's TRUE! It will never go away. In fact the entire world will soon worship Jesus Christ after He returns for His people. The ungodly, the fearful all liars and haters of God will be destroyed in the lake of fire. Then the earth will be recreated and will be exactly as it was before Adam and Eve sinned.

Answer 8

How funny, I totally plugged http://ffrf.org/ to someone earlier this morning. However, keep in mind that Yahoo Answers is a private business organization, and people have a right to shout religion from the rooftops provided they do it in the private sector--just as we have a right to keep religion out of the government here in the fabulous U.S. of A.!

Answer 9

If you are tired of it then why not stay off the religious and spiritual section. You could go anywhere else. No one is forcing you to be here. Have a nice day.

Answer 10

Yes, it's fake but you also need to tell the guys who are still caught up in religion why it's fake or how will they ever know it's fake themselves!
