Back of my beans what do you mean you dont understand have you seen the Davinci Code and how so many catholics and christians were protesting that movie so that it would not come out how can you not understand can you not see what is happening?

Answer 1

Have hope. The thing NOT to believe in is that "we cannot do anything." Actually we can.

[1] Bless and Pray to God for your enemies and those
who insult and persecute you.

[2] Inform them of what Christianity really teaches.

[3] Remain studious of the Word (Jesus) and study His
words and life on earth, (the Scriptures).

[4] Be a well rounded person. Educate yourself on the
sciences and philosophies (especially the Ancient
philosophers).

[5] Study their side of the argument to know where they
really are coming from and minister from there.

And so, have hope. These are the things you can do, but above all trust that God is doing the work and causes the seeds of faith to grow in us and others. We cannot make it happen any faster than God desires. So, trust that all you are to do is spread the seeds of faith, let God make it grow within them.
May the Lord bless and keep you. May He let the light of His face shine upon you.
God's and your beast of burden

Answer 2

The problem is not just Christianity, although that religion is very popular, however no religion is the correct one, and all religions have got it wrong.

There are many major religions in the world, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, and so on. Within each major religion there can also be many minor religions. For example, within Christianity there is Catholic, Protestant, Anglican and so on. Within Islam there is Shiite, Sunni etc.

In summary there are many hundreds of different religions in the world all with their devoted believers and followers. Talk to any devout religious person and they will almost emphatically insist that their religion is the right one, it’s fact, and any non-believer is doomed.

Commonsense and logic would suggest that if there was any truthful or factual basis to religion, then only one of these religions could be correct, not all of them. However, in my view, it’s highly unlikely that any of these man-made religions bear any resemblance to fact or the truth, and are more likely to be the result of simplistic human intelligence looking for an escape from reality.

Answer 3

Accepting someone and criticizing them are 2 completely different things.

I voted for President Bush and accept him as president and a Christian, do I not have the right to critcize him?

Neonazis, Stalinists, radical Muslims, homosexuals, Satanists, liberals, and pedophiles are wrong in their beliefs and actions, but I accept them as created human beings with rights and treat them accordingly. Do I not have the right to criticize them?

To suggest people are above criticism undermines the foundations of liberty, discourage accountability and denies the principles of testing for truth.

So I say cheers to criticism! Keep it honest, respectful as possible, and real!

Answer 4

Well, me as a Catholic, I don't like it. We should all accept each other's religions, stop trying to "convert" others (unless they're interested or something), and we should only teach others about it if they want to learn. We should make fun of eachother 'cuz of religion. It's not right, and for all I know, that's what EVERY religion believes.

Answer 5

I don't look down on others for what they think, but to be intolerant of us Christians,and claim it is because Christians are intolerant doesn't add up.It saddens me when people who have no idea what Christianity really is about criticise it and quote others who also had no clue what being a true Christian means.It doesn't surprise me though.Jesus said it would happen.

Answer 6

It makes me angry like when someone talks about taking Under God out of the pledge of allegiance. It really made me mad when someone threatened to sue a school because they had the ten commandments in a hallway! everyone has their right to their own religion. if the atheists don't like having religion in their school, then go to a school thats not religion based!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry it just aggravates me.

Answer 7

There was a period in time where an individual would be brutally punished for speaking against Christianity. We are now in a position which allows us to do so. We have as much right to discredit your believes has you do to try to "convert" us.

Answer 8

These are the two most intolerant religions of significance in the US. They are working to bring about Theocracy.

Answer 9

This is the way I see it. The reason people down Christanity so much is because they know it is the truth. I'm not sure that is the truth, but I thik it has somthing to do with it. But remember one thing:
Those who judge you will be judged.

Answer 10

I could hardly understand the question, since your religion obviously discourages punctuation.

I think you were asking how we react to negative comments about Christianity. If I were Jesus, I'd love them, pray for them, and continue on.

And Jesus would punctuate.
