Why do christians have a problem with other religions?

Question

I have had alot of christians who had a problem with my religion. Is it that they don't know the truth? Are they afraid of what they don't know? Or are they just stuck up and think they're better than everyone else? Do they even know that alot of things they celebrate were once pagan. Haveing church on a sunday also came from paganism, at one time christians regularly attended church on saturdays instead of sundays.

Answer 1

Well again they will defend themselves and then in the back stab that knife saying burn in our hell non believer.
Sick huh?
Again they are hypocrits and want to come out smelling like roses but remember there are thorns on those roses and once we make comments their nasty little thorns come out to attack you.
You are so right on the paganism stuff. In fact all their holidays started out with our holidays we are the originators of the holidays, a time of our celebration they just so happen to use to fit their own agendas.
Happy YULE

Answer 2

No offense, but you have some pretty warped -- and factually baseless -- ideas about Christianity.

First of all, worship on Sunday did not come from paganism. It came from the Resurrection, which occured on a Sunday.

Second, what is your religion? Whatever it is, if it's not Christianity, then it doesn't have the fullness of religious truth.

Why should we regard other religions as "equal" to ours, when we know that other religions are not completely true? That would be the same as thinking that Moonlight Graham was just as good a baseball player as Babe Ruth -- just to make sure that everyone's feelings don't get hurt.

That's not "stuck up" -- that's just reality.

Third, you fail to realize that you are exhibiting the same "problem" toward Christianity that you accuse Christians of having toward your religion.

You're attacking our religion, putting it down, calling us names -- you're doing all the things that you complain about Christians doing to you. What sort of double standard do you operate under here?

Answer 3

Most people fear what they do not understand. And most people only have a surface knowledge about their religions and where and how the traditions and rules came about much less what people in other religions believe. The fundamental Christian belief is that unless someone accepts Christ as their savior and accepts the Bible as the word of god then they go to hell instead of heaven. Hence if god sends you to hell for not believing as the Bible says you should then you must be bad. So even though it is quasi-logical based on their belief system to reject other belief systems as evil most modern Christians practice tolerance and attempt to convert non-Christians with love and patience rather than by Crusades and burning them at the stake as was done in the olden days. Most new age and pagan traditions are also ironically based more on modern day reinvention than a solid unbroken chain of oral or written tradition.

Answer 4

I dont have a problem with anyone's religion but when I see something wrong I have to say it out as it will be against my beliefs. A point of correction, sunday worship was not taken down from pagans but rather the early church met on the first day of the week in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

Did you know that you are wrong? Because the early christians were Jewish, they met on Saturdays. But christians soon started to meet (have church) on sundays because that is the day in which Jesus Christ was risen. Has nothing to do with pagan.

Answer 6

Can you show me a scripture that talks about the Christians meeting on saturday? When I read my bible, Paul tells the Christians to take up their offerings on the first day of the week in 1 Cor 16:2. Kind of hard to do if you are meeting on Saturday. He also instructs them in Col 2:16 not to judge anyone over the keeping (or actually not keeping) of the sabbaths.

So I am confused as to where you see the church meeting on Saturday. Can you please give me the reference?

Thanks

Answer 7

We as Christians should walk in Love and minister that love to others. I think for the most part we have good intentions. We know answers to problems in life not because we think we know it all, but because we have went through the storms and continue to do so. We have exhausted everything the world has to offer as far as solutions and in the end when we turn to God the perfection and peace we receive is the true answer to the things we strive for in life. We try to share this sometimes forcefully because we know its true, sometimes forgetting that it is the love that will conquer all

Answer 8

Well, I'm sorry, but if your religion is contrary to the Bible, I think you have a bigger problem on your hands than Christians "having a problem" with your religion. In the eternal scheme of things it really doesn't matter what I think about your religion. It matters what God thinks about your religion. Does He like it or not?

Answer 9

In order to persist in the long run, religions need to convince adherents and potential adherents that there is something special about their religion, and that others are not as good. Tolerance and religion simply don't mix.

I'm sorry, but as long as paganism remains tolerant of other faiths, it is doomed to either remain a tiny faith with little impact, or to die out altogether.

Answer 10

They don't have a problem with us they just think we're delusional for worshipping the Sun or Moon, apparently it's the height of logic to believe in something you've never seen.
