Why is it politically correct to bash christians but not other religions?

Question

I'm sure that there are religious wackos out there who claim to be christian and come on here bashing all others but that is not what christianity is about, and those of you who bite back with blasphomous statments are no better. most decent christians don't judge because they know that is God's job, and if you don't believe in God then why do you waste your time insulting those who do? The only reason I can think of is that you don't have a life and you are angry.

Answer 1

The true definition of "Politically Correct" is to not say anything that would offend liberals... BUT... it is perfectly fine to say what you want against those who have the courage to stand against liberals. That is why Christianity is such a target!

Answer 2

You made your own case in your first sentence.

Personally, I have no problem with anyone whom you deem to be a decent christian, a person who doesn't judge others.

Simply put, the most basic teaching of every religion is to respect everyone equally. Don't bash me for my beliefs and I won't bash you for yours. Let's put that into a more positive light, though. Respect that I have a right to hold a different opinion and that that does you no harm, and I have no problem.

But if you try to force your views down my throat, if you tell me that I'm wrong to hold a different opinion, if you dare to tell me that I'm going to hell unless I believe precisely the way that you believe, and I will use my language skills to defend myself against your nonsense.

So, why is it politically correct to bash christians but not other religions? It's no more correct that it is for so-called christians to bash everyone else. And you agree that such individuals aren't real christians.

"Religious wackos"

"The only reason I can think of is that you don't have a life and you are angry."

That's not at all judgmental. Also, bunnies glow in the dark. :-)

The only reason this happens is because of a psycological reaction. The term for it is "Self Defense". The whole "Eye for an Eye" bit. Muslims and Jews are troubled by the Crusades, Pagans are troubled by the Inquisition, and everyone is sick and tired of hearing about how they're going to hell.

Try this little experiment: walk up to a random stranger tomorrow and punch them in the face. More than likely, they'll curse at you or punch you back. They probably won't go "God Bless You." It's exactly the same- the constant attack on our damnation is much like being punched in the face.

Answer 4

Random...you see the slippery walk one gets on. You started out with a great precept...then you stepped in it with judging people who judge people. Further you blasted everyone (Christian and everyone else) with an insult that we do not have a life and are angry.

In essence, you answered your own question. Christians do get a lot of bashing (and not just here) but I see a lot directed at the Islams that is pure hatred and bigotry as well as at the Jews. Is it politically correct...or is it a fad...only God knows.

Answer 5

The problem is, there aren't many real Christians in this world. There are a lot of people who believe in God and they claim to be Christians but they do not allow God to become Lord of their lives. They live in the world as if they are anybody else and then they call themselves Christians. This is what brings on the confusion within others because now they begin to see Christians as hypocrites. For example, (no offense to her, I love her), we have Beyonce who stated that she would now compromise her Christianity but she's on a stage singing half-naked promoting pre-marital sex to others in her music. I mean.... this world is filled with too many "half" Christians... I don't blame others who bash Christians because most of what they say is true because of what they see in others who call themselves Christians. Christianity has branched out into many many different section.. well too many sections, there are many loose Christians and strict Christians. Don't get in over your head over people who are indifferent towards others and insult people. Just do what you gotta do, live according to your beliefs (may it be Christianity or not) and if you are Christian, be an example to what a true Christian must be. I personally do believe that this world is coming to an end and that is why things are getting crazier and crazier by the second. Everyone is becoming aware of who God is and what Jesus did... it's their choice if they want to believe it or not. But that's all it is... a choice. No one should be forced to make personal decisions. They can be told but not forced. So for those people who insult Christians, they are just as bad as those people who claim to be Christians but are living a double life... that's just the way the world is, imperfect.

Answer 6

I think the fact that people do, shows a couple of interesting things. First, they feel threatened by it somehow, almost as if it may be true! Though, no one would admit it, and point to bad behavior, but I think it is threatening to a way of life, people want to maintain. They are sure that God will want to take away their fun or something. It also shows that just another prophecy is coming true, that people will treat christians badly, just like they did Jesus. All for no cause. Exactly what we were told would happen. I think it all points to the bible and God being true. Funny how that can work.

Answer 7

Christians are used to being bashed. There is so many different denominations that you couldn't go into a room with all one faith.
They all believe they are the only ones saved. So you got one chance in 6000 of picking the right one.
They are very secure in their believes and don't really care what others think and usually have a great sense of humor and can laugh at others remarks.
Other religions are very serious and very insecure about what they believe in and rebel at the slightest hint of anyone's criticism.
To me that just shows how insecure they are. I mean like who cares what others think. I know I don't

Answer 8

Who says Christians get singled out? Have you ever watched South Park?

Furthermore, Christians are just as capable of bashing non-Christians as non-Christians are capable of bashing Christians. Because of that, it really irks me when Christianity plays the victim card.

Answer 9

It is PC to bash Christians because the tenets of Christianity are diametrically opposed to post-modern culture...throw some fanatics into the mix and you got the perfect punching bag.

Answer 10

"Xianity is a syncretic faith began contained in the middle-noughties by way of Sarah Ellen Bennett (aka Sylvia Roslyn l. a. some). At its top contained in the early twenteens, Xianity claimed upwards of 40 5 million adherents." I were given this defination from Google. I honestly have by no ability heard of the politically striking to bashing Xianity. I honestly have by no ability heard of Xianity in the previous and that i evaluate myself somewhat a religious student. No degree, basically 34 years of straightforward learn. What are "the middle-noughties"? what's a "syncretic" faith? The early "twenteens"? basically what's it you're happening about?

Answer 11

Because xians are the most annoying, in-your-face, "You're going to Hell", stuck-up, I'm right and you're wrong, non-debating BRAINWASHED theists out there.

Oh, and did everyone reading this notice the last statement in the question? "The only reason I can think of is that you don't have a life and you are angry."

But didn't you just recite a fragmented quote from the bible about not judging? See, it's in the very nature of xians to judge and be hypocritical, even if they don't know it.
