why u think christianity has been under the attack more than any other religion?

Answer 1

Greater rewards; greater obstacles to those rewards.

Answer 2

If you think Christianity has been under attack, try being a Jew.

Last count there were over a billion Christians. In contrast, there are around 14 -18 million Jews, mainly because of Christian persecution, pogroms and the Holocaust. Also, how many nations on the face of the earth call themselves "Christian nations?" Contrast that with ONE Jewish nation How many of the Christian nations are under attack right now? When was the last time Israel was truly at peace? How many Christian nations has someone threatened to wipe off the face of the earth recently?

I suggest you do a reality check.

Answer 3

I assume you mean on Yahoo Answers.

From an atheist perspective, honestly, I think a lot of people have had bad experiences in Christianity, and they want to strike back. I see atheists and agnostics here that seem to take up for other religions but attack Christians and Muslims to a lesser degree. I have to admit, some of the things I've read atheists say on here go too far. There's a nut on here now giving links to ELF and ALF and someone's going to get hurt.

I can't see the point in it if you're an atheist, since if your argument is in a nutshell, "Religion is wrong because there is god", then why take up for Wiccans, for instance, who believe in hundreds of gods and goddesses, ignore history (Margret Murray was an idiot) and science (there is no magic, sorry), and are just as "superstitious", (for lack of a better term)?

From the things I've read on here, I think atheism means "an absence of a belief in Christianity" to most people here, rather than "an absence in a belief in a god", which is what it's supposed to mean.

Answer 4

Christianity has not been under attack more than any other religion. Most of the time it's Chrisitianity attacking other religions...or non-religions. Where exactly did the poor oppressed Christian concept originate? Take a look at your history of Jewish oppression and tell me you are under attack.

Answer 5

No one attacks christianity. Its the most widely accepted religion on the planet.

Answer 6

You mean here? It's because it has the most childish, rude, arrogant, and ignorant adherents ranting inanely here. People tend to dislike that kind of behavior.

Oh, and then they complain about how they're treated. Imagine if they were REALLY mistreated here, like atheists and Muslims are. I'll bet they'd have their right-wing organizations boycotting Yahoo already.

Larry's response (below) is a good one, but it assumes that people attack Christians because they believe in God. That's not it - lots of people believe lots of false things (e.g., the Wiccans, as he mentions), and we don't attack them for it. Christians take the heat they do here because they're poorly behaved. If the Wiccans behaved that badly, we'd be all over them as well. You can bet on it. This isn't some kind of unfair bias against Christians - it's a completely fair response to the behavior of people who don't seem to have any sense of how to behave in public. Sadly, that seems to include a large majority of the Christians who come here.

Answer 7

I don't think it is. On this forum it's attacked frequently. But so is atheism and islam. It's a matter of perspective. Xians think that not getting special treatment counts as persecution. Giving equal rights to other religions persecutes them. Disagreeing with them persecutes them. So are they really being attacked more? Only in their minds.

Answer 8

"CHRISTIANS ARE BEING PERSECUTED"

Ever hear the phrase, "You can dish it out, but you can't take it"? That's what's happening when Fundamentalists use this statement. They have been on the attack for years now, trying to deny rights to homosexuals, trying to outlaw abortions, trying to keep women from obtaining equal rights, and trying to impose their own morals - many of them non-biblical - on the rest of society. Non-Fundamentalists are finally fighting back by speaking out against their campaigns, their media onslaughts, and their mistaken notions of truth, and the Fundamentalists don't like it very much. They can dish it out, but they can't take it. So when people of good conscience stand up for their rights, Fundamentalists cry foul - they claim they are being persecuted.

Fundamentalists see this "persecution" as biblical proof of being on God's side. It's not. Their so-called persecution is merely the rest of society defending itself from their attacks. Their so-called persecution is merely being called to the carpet for their actions. Their so-called persecution comes in the form of editorials that don't paint them in a glowing light or legislation that goes against their made-truths. If they can't get their schools to allow them to pray to their God during class time, they claim they are being attacked. What would happen if Buddhists and Muslims tried to get the same special rights? Fundamentalists would be beside themselves in anger.

This is not the persecution mentioned in the Bible. The leaders of the Christian Coalition are not being hung on crosses (Philippians 2:8). The leaders of the Family Research Council are not being stoned to death (Acts 7:59). The leaders of Focus on the Family are not being thrown to the lions (Daniel 6:16). And yet these people have the gall to claim they are being persecuted in God's name. They are not. All they have to worry about is someone calling them bad names and denying them their request for favoritism.

Answer 9

The Jews may argue that idea.

But do some people dislike Christianity? You bet. Two thousand years of tortures, killings, wars, genocides, hypocrisy and threats of hell can do that.

Answer 10

Oh I don't know.

Do the words witchhunts, Inquisition, or Holocaust ring a bell?

Answer 11

In the case UK, many people are gay and Christinaity's position is against gay so the gay attack Christianity. As a christian, I always feel very very sad for the gay, how can a man degenerate himself into girly object. If Darwin theory of evolution is correct, then gay is a "devolution" of human being into some creature unrecognised by man.
