Does any one here actually think that a Christian really means to them harm?

Question

If you do please state why.
If you do not, please state why.

Answer 1

Namely because I've had "Christians" advocate the deaths of all Wiccans and Pagans. Some actually do want to take over the US and turn it into a Theocracy that would outlaw all other religions. They are currently using the Republican Party to to this. Wake up!
Read "Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism" by Michelle Goldberg if you don't believe me.

Answer 2

No, not physical harm anyhow. But there are all types of "harm" out there and the way some people act is definitely harmful. Since I have become more open about my beliefs, I have had more "Christians" (and I do this because I know they weren't true Christians, my mother was a true christian so I have a good example to go by here) berate, belittle and verbally harass me than any other religious group. And I do admit it is hard and difficult for me to bite my tongue and walk away. My mother raised me to be tolerant and non-judgmental, to have respect for people regardless of religious beliefs. If more people practiced tolerance, respect and the ability listen, then maybe we wouldn't be leary of Christians.

Answer 3

Absolutely. Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.

Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”

They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.

Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.

All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."

By allowing this insidious agenda to progress, we are sowing the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious nut-jobs are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

Answer 4

Harm, no. But I feel like they try to spread their religion onto others, which to me is wrong. Believe what you believe and let others worship at their will. And while I feel that Christianty will not harm me personally, I feel that a lot of blood has been shed in the name of Christ, Christianity, and/or God. It can sometimes cause as many problems as it solves. But that is true of all religions.

Answer 5

I used to work with an avid christian who had absolutely no concept of any other religion. She saw me wearing a pentagram around my neck one day and asked me if I was a jew. I said "No, why?" She said "isn't that the mark of a jew or david or something?" LOL!!! She actually taught bible study classes! But anyway, once I explained to her what it was and what it represents, she made my work life a living hell! She eventually got me fired because she "feared for her soul" That's o.k. because I definitely got even....

Answer 6

No because the only person that can harm me is one I let harm me. Aside from that, I look at individuals not belief systems. I couldn't care less what a person chooses for a spiritual path so long as they are a nice, decent person.

Answer 7

Not physical harm, but I do believe they are trying to get the world to follow them and only them. Sound familiar. Think that is what we are facing in the middle east and with terrorism. They just happen to use words and their power of the law.

Answer 8

The history of Christianity would indicate that Christians, as a group, will murder anyone who refuses to adopt their beliefs.

But, that is also true of Jews & Muslims, so we can consider all bible based religions to be an equal threat to those who don't share a particular cult's beliefs.

Answer 9

I've never known true love and friendship till I knew Christians. Not pretenders but the real thing.

Answer 10

No. I am a Christian myself and try not to get too pushy when telling others the good news, so that I don't ruin it for them.
