If you have posted hateful comments towards other religion(s)...?

Question

What do you gain from it?
Why do you hate them so much?

Answer 1

Hate is absolutely is not a Christian trait.

Hate may be found in some that profess to follow Christ, but they are not real Christians.

Answer 2

People may disagree about what's "hateful" ... for some, merely to question some things or express doubt is taken as "hateful". It's not.

Many religions have an ugly history, not merely of spreading hatred themselves, but of great bloodshed and destruction of priceless art, temples, books, etc. People who did not commit those acts should not be blamed for them, but they ought to know the true history of what predecessors in their faith did. In fact, it mostly happens that people follow a religion because they were born to parents who follow it, so they were brought up from tender age, tending to believe without questioning too much. It's very very hard to question under those circumstances, and sometimes painful to learn how things came to be the way they are today.

On the other hand, it's very hard to forgive the religious organization, though its leaders may be in much the same boat as most followers. The reality is that Yahoo Answers, like the world itself, is a marketplace of ideas ... and if everything's declared a "sacred cow" then, what's the use? My point is that it is to the benefit of the individual to know the history in full and to experience a range of opinions. He can keep his faith, then, with the determination that evil deeds will not happen again through the instrument of the religion or nation of which he feels a part.

Answer 3

No, I never have. It is not an atheist trait.

I think that perhaps others do for a variety of reasons, but I think heuristics are important to that process. These can be broken down by finding out that they are untrue, or in other words:

People who think Christians are brainwashed should meet some of the smarter ones, and those who think atheists are immoral should actually meet some who have made the considered choice.

Getting to know people rather than standing away from the group is a good way to reduce this hate stuff, in my opinion.

Answer 4

A person who has posted hateful comments would only reply to this question with more hate.

Answer 5

Hateful, LeVeyan Satanists. non violent, Taoists. maximum Christians and Muslims are a mishmash of in between. yet there are some extremists which could compete with both extremes, like say Sufi vs. Al Quaida for the Muslims, or Quakers vs. the Westboro Baptists for the Christians.

Answer 6

It would not be the person who is hated, as much as it is the lack of perceived truth they espouse in their beliefs.
Think of it this way:
Do you love someone enough to tell them the truth?
OR, will you remain politically correct and let them die in their sin?

Answer 7

I WONT POST NO HATEFUL COMMENTS ABOUT AN OTHER RELIGION BECAUSE THAT IS WRONG..WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN AND HE DOES NOT WANT US TO BE THAT WAY...

Answer 8

I have not posted hateful comments.

I have posted example of hurts done against me, to show why people can dislike other faiths.

Answer 9

It all stems from insecurity and ignorance, plain and simple. Making inferior comments about other people and paths makes some people feel superior and that's really why they do it.
