What is your biggest complaint about Christianity.?

Question

You don't have to, but it would be helpful to me if you could include your: education level, belief system(including Atheism, and Evolutionism), age, gender, and race. make your answers specific - I will let the community vote for best answer.

Answer 1

from the Jewish part the biggest complaint is hypocrisy. while Jesus was teaching for peaceful ways, the christian church was involved in prosecution and killing of Jews for almost two millennia.

Answer 2

The biggest complaint would be difficult since the whole thing is an incoherent fairy tale. One of the biggest (since you hinted at what you're looking for) is its obstinate refusal to accept certain scientific findings which have been verified consistently for hundreds of years.

The current squabble - it does not qualify as a debate since the religious side cheats and prevaricates - is over the fact of evolution. Christians, at least the fundamentalist variety, don't even understand what they're supposed to be against because any sensible person realizes that evolution does not conflict with anything in your so-called holy scriptures. I won't waste time repeating the same old, invalid arguments made against it here, though.

Evolution isn't the only thing christians have fought against tooth, nail, racking, and burning at the stake, however. The catholic church put Galileo under permanent house arrest for promoting the fact that the earth orbited the sun. But they had to admit they were wrong, eventually - in 1992, 359 years afterwards!

I have a bachelor's degree in astronomy and physics and a lifelong interest in biology, keeping myself up to date on these topics by talking to professionals on a regular basis. Atheism is not a belief, by the way: it's the *lack* of belief in deities and demons. And neither is "evolutionism" a belief; this is a semantic trick of evolution-deniers (similar to holocaust-deniers), to invent a word solely to confuse the issue at hand. They have to, because reason and reality disagree with them.

Answer 3

Well Jonny,
I am 51, a white Brit duly baptised, confirmed, and married within the Church of England.
The only complaint that I have with the local church is that I can't get the hang of bell-ringing.
I now call myself a Christian Scientist, as a lot of the Holy Bible is unbeleivable, where did Noah put the sharks? Next to the golfdish?
I proved that walking on water was possible, with the aid of a black plank in the fountain, at night.
Education, you enquire.
I have a Masters Degree in Electical & Electronic Engineering.
What that has to do with my relegious beliefs is beyond me.
If I could travel in time, and speak perfect Aramaic, I would love a word or three with Jesus.
"Hey, how is it going"?
Many of my freinds are of the Islamic faith, and Hinduism, and we get on fine.
I wish all did so.

Merry whatnots,
Bob

Answer 4

I am a Christian, but not your "ordinary" Christian. I am a 45 year-old married female, mother of 4. I am also a college graduate and a teacher.

My biggest overall complaint is not with Christianity itself, but rather the "organized religion" aspect of the religion. I don't like the hypocrisy that many "Christians" display.

God, and Jesus is supposed to be about God's love and forgiveness. Too many "Christians" judge others without mercy.

I also don't feel that Christianity is the "only way" to get to heaven. I hate fire and brimstone sermons!

Answer 5

Postgrad, agnostic, 34, F, caucasian. What really annoys me is the way Christians only pick parts of the bible and ignore others e.g. I hate people who take the creation (Genesis) as fact then eat pork even though it´s prohibited ( Lefiticus) but they still go on and on and on that the bible is the true word of God and that it must be followed to the word (then go off and eat a bacon butty). It´s just not consistent.
They also follow a text that was written during sexist times. Grrrr

Answer 6

The same answer that I have for ALL believers of any faith/religion.
They can 'talk the talk'
And 'walk the walk'
But only few have ever 'walked the talk'! (They are the real ones).
To be a Christian means to be Christ Like.
Do you know anyone who is a Son/Sun of God?

Answer 7

some secondary skool, atheism, 13, female, white caucasian. my biggest complaint about christianity is that it is all one big crappy xmas story.

i mean, cmon people get real. do you honestly think there is a big guy out in space somewhere who knows everyone and made the earth etc. its little kids stories and i dont understand why some adults actually believe all that crap.

magic doesn't exist, get used to it!

Answer 8

48,man,white-native American,baptist(raised). The arrogance of Christians that I've known in my life.It's they feel they are obligated to enterfere in your business, until their asked for money. I'm told salvation is free but after you join there's all these rules it seems the rules change. Most I've had dealings with are uncivilized and back their ignorance up with 'well God told me to tell you". To much wierd for me.

Answer 9

My biggest complaint about "Christians" is their zealous efforts to force others to act the way they want others to act.
