Why do Christians hate pagans?

Question

Love is unconditional and Christians are supposed to love, yet they don't.

Perhaps hate is the wrong word to use.

Ok...why do they push their beliefs on to non-Christians instead of just loving one another for the beautiful and individual spiritual beings that we are? Why can't they understand that their truth is not our truth and that we are all entitled to have faith in whatever path we want to follow? Why do they believe their path is the only "right" path (other than the bible says so)? They don't understand that there are many "right" paths of spirituality. Just because my path isn't your path doesn't mean one is right and one is wrong. I don't have any right to say your path is wrong any more than you have to say mine is wrong.

Answer 1

I do not think they hate pagans - they just think pagans are Satan worshippers - which is soooo far from the truth. Pagans do not worship Satan - they do not even believe in Satan. Satan is a Christian creation.

The Bible was written by man who wanted to change things about religion the way it was being done....so when the Bible was written - they said no witchcraft - no astrology - no numerology, things like that.

However - what they do not like to hear is that most all of the Christian holidays have their roots in paganism.......

Look it up on the web Ostara = Easter........Christmas = Yule .........Samhain = Halloween.........

You should even hear the one about birthdays.......If you make a cake, light the candles and sing Happy Birthday - do you realize you are practicing a "ritual"??? Look that one up - that'll knock the socks off of some people. It did me as well.......

So - basically with most Christian faiths, if the preacher says don't do it - no one explores it for themselves - they just don't do it and think that everyone who does is wrong.

Which, if you have faith and you believe - that is what you should do.........but you don't have to badmouth other religions.

I have even heard some Pagans, Druids and Wiccans badmouth Christianity - which they are not supposed to do......

Answer 2

I used to be Christian, and I can tell you that not all Christians hate us Pagans, and it is only the more radical ones that seem to grab the spot light more often than not. I just told my grandmother a deeply religious Christian that I was Pagan it took her a little while (like three days I think) to get over the shock, but even then she still cared about my well being. She thinks that every one is entitled to what ever they believe she is not one to say that any one person is going to hell. There should be more like her that get the spot light not the radicals.

Christians don't hate anyone... Where did you get that information from?

And besides hating other people is not based on ones religion.. And finally ALL are supposed to love, not only Christians

And let me tell you and others here what is really the Truth.. Christianity is the Truth but because the world the Bible presents is a very difficult world to build based on love and forgiveness people will not accept it.. Evil always prevails in our world... The Bible is not accepted by many people because they are weak and of low level of understanding.. I'm not saying they are dumb or anything like that.. They want solid evidence to believe.. That's fine by me.. But if they really discover themselves and FEEL the Truth that is unfolding, they will understand.. Untill then, we will see many things and hear many insults

If the Revelation speaks of horrifying days of insults and killing, claims for people to be prophets or even God Himself, look at us now.. Atheists claiming they "know" the truth.. Well their Views are out shattered by Science.. But imagine other believes to come attacking Christianity... All greedy men want the big City and will try to demolish and destroy its walls.. With all these attacks Christianity faces , it's like crucifying Jesus again!

Be aware of snakes.. We are quite educated now and can fight back.. until now we are winning... Let's see what follows.

Look everyone, Witchblade1 has spoken! Well done Witchblade1, you got 2 points for replying indirectly and with no sense

Osterhollywood whatever check your facts right... THINK! All aspects of Christianity are FOUND in other religions not the other way round... Christianity fits in all religions not the other way round.. Some parts in Qu'ran, torah, hare Krishna etc. EACH one has a Taste of Christianity... NOT the other way round

Answer 4

i would go with disapprove of, rather than hate,generally. although i've run into some david duke type kkk'ers, who are "devoutly christian" who seem to hate everyone (but, especially themselves i'm sure, quite unconsciously. low self esteem can be hell, eh? ). in any event, tolerance should rule, as in the buddhist tradition. it seems to me that if another group is peaceful but has a different belief system, instead of thumping your bible in a knee jerk fashion, why not find out what they have to say. and, in that way at least you'll be being open minded and intelligent. rather than feaful and clueless. if. they're violent, on the other hand, take appropriate measures, whilst understanding that they don't "know any better". and, then, after you've whacked them, pray for them.seems like a reasonable approach, eh? :-) :-)

Answer 5

I'm a Christian and I don't hate anyone. I do my best to show love and respect to all I meet.

Unfortunately, Christians as many other groups are portrayed in the media by those few very vocal extremists. I try not to judge anyone based on these portrayals. I meet people as individuals. If they are interested in my beliefs, I will tell them. But I do not force them on anyone.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, there are some Christians who hate pagans, even though, in most cases, they do not even know any personally. They are led to this state by ancient scriptures that paint nonbelievers and believers in "magic" as evil. Just as unfortunately, there are some pagans who hate Christians.

But most aren't spending their days hating. They are too busy just living their lives.

Answer 7

Individuals hate each other. A Christian isn't any different from anyone else. They're supposed to love everyone but who does everything they're supposed to.

Answer 8

I don't hate pagans and I'm a Christian. The whole point of being Christian is to believe in Jesus and live a Christ like life. There is no room for hate in a Christ like life.

Answer 9

They need someone to hate.Someone to persecute.It is us pagans and gays that are the only minority to pick on.
The Bible has more plot holes then Lord of the Rings.
Which is based on Norse Paganism!
