To Non Christians who criticize Christianity…..?

Question

If you do know the teachings of Jesus (since many of you proclaim to), can you please tell me what about them is wrong to you, if any?? Is your problem mainly with those Christians who don't follow His commandments, with His commandments all together, or is it because you just dismiss anything pertaining to God since you supposedly have “proof” that He doesn’t exist?

Answer 1

The problem is that most Christians neither know nor care what Jesus taught or what is in the Bible. They memorize passages, take them out of context and misrepresent the meaning. This allows them to justify anything, however vile, and still be acting "according the teachings of Jesus". Christians present a face to the rest of us that is no different from the common portrayal of Islam. What possible moral difference is there between Muslim terrorism and Christians bombing abortion clinics? In both cases they are committing murder for political reasons, and before you try the "those aren't real Christians" argument look at the history of your faith. Those are the ones who founded and spread Christianity throughout the world, using fire and the sword to do it. When Christians start acting according the commandments of Jesus, I honestly think you will find a lot of the animosity going away, but as long as all you show the world is judgment and condemnation, you should expect only judgment and condemnation in return. How did it go, "Remove the log from your own eye before you try to remove the spec from your brothers"?

Answer 2

Good question. Here's my take.
A) There is little-to-no evidence that jesus existed outside of the "NT" (other than josephus, which is largely recognized to have been an "addition" by some other author.) (Though I think most people who don't believe he was the messiah accept that he existed, myself included.)

B) The christian take on the nature of G-d, the messiah, and the commandments are all examples of where christianity differs from judaism, and why jews cannot even fathom how one would accept christian beliefs.

C) He didn't fulfill what we expect of the messiah and the messianic age. (I know, you think he did. But it's our torah, and our people, and we're the status quo, so I think you can see why your opinion is really of little import.)

cheerio

on the side, Jews don't believe jesus was a prophet (or even a good person) either.

Answer 3

Well the biggest problem that I personally have is the lying and the fraud that goes along with christianity.
Here is a mythology that did'nt have a central deity until after 325 "AD" and you people are gullible enough to think that jesus actually existed. It's utterly laughable.
And some of you actually say that Josephus is talking about jesus, he's not, he was talking about Appolonius of Tyana. someone who actually DID exist.
But you put your heads into your rectal cavities and decide that it's warm and inviting there.
Stick to your ignorance and I'll stick to reality.
Oh and for the record, it is YOU that has no proof for the existence of your magic sky pixie. The burden of proof is, after all, upon YOU to prove your position, not the other way around. Elementary logic seems to escape you. But then, I'm guessing that a lot of things escape you...

Answer 4

Whoa, there boy. You had me genuinely interested until the last part. No one can prove or disprove God. There lies the rub. Yeah, the bible has a really good road map for peaceful coexistence. Unfortunately for the rest of us, it's common sense, and we try to do those things regardless whether the Bible says so or not.
We don't need the threat of h*llfire to be good people. And we don't need to have some priest or pastor that insists upon telling us to repent our sins to some God-Man. And most of us don't believe in the notion of God making babies with virgins. It's beneath Him.
It's not the rules we have a problem with. It's the delivery.

Answer 5

Well I haven't defined my religious or spiritual background yet, but I do have a problem with all of the inconsistency and hypocrisy in the bible. I have been studying Christianity among other religions and there is just so much that does not make sense. Not in the sense of my understanding but inconsistency within the teachings. How can you believe in something that has so many hypocritical statements?

Answer 6

How about the fact that Christianity proclaims all men & women to be lowly sinners unworthy of anything except through the grace of God? If I told my children that they were lowly conceptable creatures that ONLY had worth because I loved them then wouldn't this be considered a form of mental abuse? God's "love" seems to be no different.

Answer 7

Well, the bit about 'if your right hand offends you, cut it off' is a bit brutal.
Most of the sermon on the mount stuff I have no trouble with though.

And believing that a man said some good and wise things is a very different animal from believing that he is the son of god who was killed so I don't have to burn forever in hell.

Answer 8

ok, properly your intentions are noble, i assume. properly firstly, maximum folk of Christians that i comprehend are judgmental. i do no longer decide you as a results of fact of your faith, its your movements I decide. working example, you pronounced as your faith, the certainty. properly that could mean something persons don't have the certainty and are incorrect, in accordance to you. How come your faith is the genuine one and you opt for all different religions to be fake? you're faith must be spectacular, I admit that. And so ought to many different religions. coaching love is a superb objective, notwithstanding it many times does not seem that way thinking the way some christians pontificate and the failings they say. Discrimination is obvious in lots of pastor's speeches. I even have on no account concept I would desire to offer something as much as have confidence in god, nor does all people else. some human beings spend their total lives examining the bible, examining christianity, and finally end up atheist. So specific, they are an expert on your faith, yet i assume it relatively is incorrect for them to speak you out of your faith. purely because it is misguided so you might chat others out of their faith!

Answer 9

One question I had as a small child being brought up in a very Christian family was why did everyone call themselves Christians to me (as a child) there was only one Christian and people should have been trying to aspire to that level while realising it was ultimately unattainable. I would have preferred (as a child) to have heard people say they were trying very hard to be a Christian.

Answer 10

What annoys me and sickens me those is you Christians spread that garbage to persude people he's real and if you don't repent you will spend an eternity roasting in Hellfire.I don't believe in that **** and stop advocating your religion and shoving it down our throats **** that Jesus Christ **** and the Bible is full of **** and evil nobody why people get killed for this garbage and religious propoganda because of this.
