Wouldn't you agree that Christianity does more harm then good???

Question

Hitler used Christianity to decimate an entire race.
The KKK has used Christianity to subjugate the United States.
I can go on endlessly.
All Christians are capable of violence on the word of one man.
Christians are so absorbed in the prison of religion that rationality is not possible.
If you had a Hitler alive today,would you not meet him with force?
If you confront a KKK member,would you not use physical force to restrain him.
Its the same with Christians.We must fight them with force.
You cannot reason with chaos.
I implore you to listen to reason.
Everyday a child loses hs identity because his parents brainwash him with Christianity.
We must put a stop to this.
Lets enact legislation to limit when children can learn about Christianity.

We must do this.There is no surrender.
Please don't tell me this can't be done.You only weakin our position.
Start drafting legislation to execute these laws.

Answer 1

look around ! i wont name names but seriously look at the headlines!

Answer 2

Gee whiz

you have things about as schewwwed up as anybody I have ever seen post a question on here.

Most of the stuff you say is SO stupid it doesn't deserve a response....but one thing I will respond to is.......as you say

"Everyday a child loses hs identity because his parents brainwash him with Christianity.
We must put a stop to this."

As a parent , I have brought my daughter up to be a Christian. She is doing great and is bringing HER daughter up the same way.
Parents , like yourself allow kids to play terrible video games that teach them to kill without remorse, they watch bad movies, they are not supervised and stay out late ( not all, but way to many ). I can go on for a long time here.......but suffice it to say, these parents are allowing THEIR children to be brainwashed by the world.

Now....if I have a choice, and I do, I will choose to brainwash my child in the ways of Christ while you allow your children to be brainwashed by the world

Good luck with that my friend

Answer 3

Wow, somebody's off his lithium!

Hitler used RACE to decimate the Jews. Thousands of Catholics were also persecuted.
The KKK used RACE to 'subjugate the US'. They're not too fond of Catholics, either.

Some athiests you might want to examine closer could be Stalin, Mao tse Tung, Pol Pot...

And how about instead of focusing on the few who have abused Christ's message to kill and abuse, why don't you consider all the Christian charities who's existance is to help those in need: The St. Vincent de Paul Society, The Salvation Army, Christian Children's Fund, etc...

No comment on your idea to limit free speech and expression. It's not worth the time.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, atheists aren't perfect beings either. People would just go on killing eachother in the absence of religion.

We cannot fight Christianity. There are too many of them. We would become even worse than they are if we chose to just try to kill as many as possible.

The only way to beat them is through nonviolence. We must set an example that is better than they are. We have a major PR war to fight, in which we must overcome the Church propaganda and the image left behind from Stalin's Russia. You aren't being helpful by posting comments like this. Go do something charitable and good. Spread the philosophical gospel of peace based on rationality. And stop insulting them! They don't listen to this sort of attack, even if what you say is mostly true. All you are doing is making my job harder.

Answer 5

You sound like a reasonably educated man, so lets not make generalizations. These people you speak of were not true Christians, they just used it as fronts to justify there extremist actions. Anyone one that truly understands God through the will of the Christ will reject all sin and try do do things that please the good lord. The man Christ was very much about peace, love, wisdom, and not these things you are talking about. If you see it differently, you are seeing people who are not reallly Christians. Why would one be in favor of war and murder when he sacrificed his own life for peace? that doesnt make sense.

Answer 6

you are judging "christianity" on the actions of bad eggs. look at all the good christianity has done - peoples' lives have been changed in terms of criminals, murderers, and rapists having a change of heart since becoming christians and getting to know god. also look at the thousands of organizations working to make conditions better for people around the world and all of the missionaries and the good deeds that they're doing to help better peoples' lives.

you say christians have been brainwashed, but obviously you have not been changed by something so powerful in your life. we're not brainwashed, i have my own identity and so does everybody else, christian or not. but christians' hearts have all been touched in the same way by God's love for us. therefore, we are all trying the same recipe because we WANT the same product - we want to be good people, and we want to be changed for the better. and the only way to get that is through God.

everybody is capable of violence, but the difference with between our religion and every other one is that our God calls us not to be violent! He says that love is the greatest commandment of all. so those who don't show love aren't christian (though they might say they are).

and just for your information, making Christianity and organized religion illegal isn't going to make it go away. Christianity will survive as long as there are people who are faithful to God in this world. there's a story of Paul in the Bible who was persecuted for worshipping God - he was beaten, thrown in jail, etc and that never stopped him from worshipping.

Answer 7

people can misconstrue whatever they want no matter how innocent it is.

I believe that People do wrong and do more harm than good, particularly when they have an agenda to push and try to make God fit in their agenda, which He doesn't He is sovereign and Loving and mercifull.

Question "why would God want to eliminate the Jews, with Hitler using Christianity "as God's choice" when God promised that the Jews would be a great nation?

Answer 8

Let me get this right. Because some Christians - and even the church institution - have done bad things through history in the name of religion, you therefore condemn Christianity?

I find it indeed sick that you don't recognize the far more positive things that people have done in the name of Christianity. There are many holy and good people in the world who work every day to be good to people and help people, and they don't advocate violence, and they don't try to conver people, they just do good because that's what they believe their Christianity calls them to do. They FAR outweigh those that abuse Christianity. And there effect on the world far exceeds anything any bad Christians have done. But, you don't appear to care. A lot of Americans and indeed our own government have done some bad things throughout our nation's history. Should we therefore ban Americanism?

Answer 9

Evidently there is some part of you that must believe in Christianity, or at least that there is truth to it. Why else would you even pose this question or statement? That or you just have a deep seated hatred for anyone who believes in Jesus. What if you're wrong? What if there's more than you think you know? What then?

Answer 10

i think people use the church to do what they like.i dont think it has anything to do with what you belive in.being a christian does'nt make you bad,thats the choice you make.i know a lot of christian people and there really nice and they do belive in treating people very good.but then i know a lot of other;s who use a church to hide behind.anyone can be violent.everyone blames christians.but look at it and i mean really look at it.its the people themselves.not christians.its everyone.i was raised a christian but i stopped going to churh a long time ago.because they say oh you have to belive.well i ask belive in what.you want to stop violence.stop all the people that shot people beacuse they dont like people.lets stop blaming everyone and start working with one another

Answer 11

No, because, Stalin, an avowed Atheist killed thousands of people and the Soviet Union an Atheist totalitarian state, killed thousands more. Fredrick Niche an atheist told the whole world that life is meaningless. He is taught in every college today. If anything I think Existentialism and atheist vews did far more harm to people. If you really believe what you are saying move to cuba. Fidel Castro runs Cuba exactly as you want. The result is Poverty and Starvation.
