2000 years ago a man named Jesus walked the earth. He did nothing but preach love and peace and perform miracles. For that He was tortured & crucified, and he allowed it willingly to save us all from our sins. Yet you are still crucifing Him today with your hateful words and attitudes towards Christians. Why? What has He or His followers ever done to you?
Merry Christmas! Wishing you love & peace.

Due to my observations in YA, I asked a simple question without calling anyone names, and yet, some of your answers were accusatory, mean and hateful. There was no call for that. You're accussing Christians of doing the same things you've just done. You've just proved what I was saying. So, if the shoe fits.........

C-O-R-E: I really did not expect an answer from Satan himself. Altough I hate to admit it, your answer/explanation of your feelings was the most honest one here.

BTW, what good has Satan ever done for mankind? How has he tried to stop all the evil & suffering in the world when he himself has caused it

I think in a funny way you answered your own question. It is the extremist Christian that is criticised not your God.
Stop these silly rants and the criticism will stop.
It comes as no surprise that in Chicago, the UK, Canada and Australia, that steps have had to be taken to curb Christian extremism in the last month!!!!
God and Jesus did not hate. They preached love and forgiveness and received it back too in the most part. Jesus preferred sinners and given the Christian diatribes on here we can all understand why!!!

The "bashing" of Christians has nothing to do with anyone hating Jesus Christ. The bulk of your question is simply ridiculous.
You do get to the point at the very end: what have Jesus' followers done wrong, that they get "bashed" so much. If you can answer that question honestly - that is, admit to the juvenile, angry, negative behaviors of so many (but by no means all...) Christians - you will have the correct answer to the question you tried to ask.
If you instead insist on denying the Christians' role in the problem and try to blame it on others, you will never know the truth.

Oh, yet we do superb perfect our brothers and sisters. those those who do this interior the Biblical way do not bypass about it in public. the first step is to mind-set one's brother or sister in Christ privately. Then we take a witness. and then, if the man Christian nonetheless does not superb perfect him- or herself, we take the count number beforehand the church. you at the on the spot are not a Christian, judging with the help of ways that you requested the question. so that you at the on the spot are not, you recognize, going to work out the personal conversations that we've with the different Christians who're, in accordance to Biblical teachings and doctrine, not doing the right element. And there are quite some Christians in all places who do the right issues. those Christians basically are not likely to entice as a lot interest to themselves because, nicely, they don't seem to be making fools of themselves in public with the hateful speeches and different such issues. many human beings DO care, and we DO attempt to do the right element. basically because you do not see it, does not recommend that that's not taking position.

You don't understand. It's not "Jesus walked the earth and performed miracles" that I have a problem with; it's "believe that Jesus walked the earth and performed miracles, or you'll burn in an eternal lake of fire!! And I hope you do, too!!" There are a couple people here (who I'll be nice and not mention specifically) who seem to get almost giddy telling other people that they're going to Hell forever, or even worse, that they HOPE that they're going to rot in Hell forever. Those comments make me cringe, literally, they're so rude.
What has Jesus' followers ever done to me? Some of them are really great people. Others are the most obnoxious, self-righteous, most UNChrist-like people I've ever met in my life. And then there's the overwhelming influence that Christianity has in politics and education in this country (stem cell research, abortion, gay marriage, school science classes), but that's a whole other issue.

I hate him. He was a revolutionary, which is very brave, but he was also a chauvanist and a supporter of slavery. If he really was God or the Son thereof, why didn't he make some concrete statement like "Verily I say unto thee, slavery is bad." If he had even the slightest concept of his own importance, which christians believe that he did, then he was an Idiot. Whether he is divine himself or merely a man, I hate his support of the Mosaic Law; it is a model of injustice (stoning your own teenagers for disobedience, stoning the victim of a rape, etc.). Jesus was the model Jew, and was "without sin", but Jewish law could never have produced a perfect man. Any man who followed the Law of Moses to the letter is a man that I would have gladly punished on the cross myself.
As to the supposed "followers of christ" I suppose they are just as guilty- either of the same sins or worse ones. I think we are all aware of many great sins of christianity in the past- from the dark ages to the Spainish Inquisition- but consider the present sins of the "religious right" in America. I won't waste your time with long lists, but I'm sure you can think of a few things on your own (hell I'll start the list for you with Catholic child molestation and Christian religious intolerance of Islam). Christians are only less evil than Jesus by an order of magnatude. His followers are either delusional, idiotic, or quite wicked indeed. I hate Jesus, I hate Christians, and I hate the entire Abrahamic tradition from Judaism to Islam.
But I will support your right to belong to it, to practice it, yes even to preach it; your religious freedom and mine come flow from the same fountain. I will however speak against it daily, patiently waiting for your religion to crumble to ashes, in honest hopes that my religion might someday no longer be needed at all.

How about referencing some postings where christian bashers have actually said they hate Jesus. I don't recall seeing any. Could it be you're equating 'denial of existence' with hate. There is no correlation. Either you are not very smart or you are a liar. Seriously, you have a problem, take some time out for some introspection.

I do not hate any one ,I just do not believe he was the son of God, by himself, we all are.I think he was made devine by the church to have followers for power reasons.or he was not truly dead and went away and people thought he rose.Do not get me wrong i think he was a great man,just not God.The bible is not proof to me that what it says really happened.It has been written and rewritten many times and changed many times in translationI believe totaly in God, that is what matters to me,Not Jesus.Live a good life of selfless love and you cant go wrong and find God within ones heart and soul and mind where he resides ,Not a book.He tells me all I need to Know and how to live

Hey I think was an okay guy. In his time, the people who were his friends were outcasts and misfits, not upstanding citizen types. Today the Christians become the upstanding citizen types and look down on other who are different from, the same kind of people who Jesus hung out with originally. I think his original followers were cool. Now they've taken his philosophy and twisted it and his followers are pretty scary!
Wishing you love and peace....Happy Yule!

I don't hate Jesus, I don't even believe he was real. I hate just those christians like Fred Phelps, and the right wing followers of Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggard, Kent Hovind or Jerry Falwell. I hate those of you who support the idea that everybody should agree with you or be killed, those of you who intend to take over the Government and make your religion the law of the land.
And if you are witnessing and not opposing those extremists then you are guilty by association.

I do not hate Jesus. I do not hate Christians. I do hate it when anyone tries to force their religious beliefs on me through the law. Like gay marriage and abortion. If you are against either, fine. Just do not force others to abide by your archaic ridiculous bigoted rules.
