So why do you dislike all Christians?

Question

Just becuse I love God doesn't mean that I hate you, or anyone for that matter that doesn't love God and his teachings. All Christians aren't here to tell you that your going to hell. I do believe that the only way to heaven is through Jesus, but if you don't believe in that great. I hope you have a wonderful life believing the way you do. We're not all the same.

Answer 1

Fair enough. I don't hate all Christians, and if they all behaved like this, I guess I wouldn't hate any of them. There was another guy - a Christian - earlier this morning who posted a mature question, and I don't hate him either.

Have you thought about working on the other Christians' behavior, since it seems that the hatred of Christians is a concern of yours?

Wow - fonderg (below) gave you a really good answer. He's dead right.

Answer 2

I don't dislike "all" Christians. It may very well be so that they don't like me. Or that they just want me to be their humble religious robot.

Jesus?

The gospels give sometimes the impression that Jesus was pretty intolerant, and we may simplemindedly think that He by not getting a family, wife and children of his own, clearly contravened the holy biblical law of God which says that we God's predilect children shall be man and wife and multiply and populate the World.

Jesus is reported to have declared "those who are not with me are against me". Jesus is also reported to spitefully have shaken the dust off His sandals and gone His way at a village where the sceptical inhabitants did NOT want to hear of His holy message. He did indeed iteratively verbally (fortunately only verbally!) threaten sinners, scandalmongers, unrepenting souls etc. with the fire of the Jehenna? or burning in Hell if you please. Jesus is also reported to bluntly have cursed to death the innocent fig-tree for not bearing any fruit when He passed by and was hungry. Jesus violently expelled those men who were selling souvenirs at the temple door; He did indeed not acknowledge that those poor family fathers were trying to earn some money to bring home to family. When He had stayed away from His parents and they asked Him why He had disappeared without telling anything to them, Jesus answered sternly to them saying that it was none of their business to be worried about Him. In this way Jesus may also have contravened the precept of the second commandment that declares that people shall honor their father and their mother.

The most blunt followers of Jesus down the centuries did indeed make great use of dire intolerance and of deadly punishments, they soon split into many factions and sects and they did indeed violently bloodily fight each other and the various infidels, and they eagerly burned to death heretics and their books, and witches, rebellious souls, bright philosophers, sincere scientist etc.

All such ugly details and many more of which we do not talk about don't seem to promise a wonderful, loving and tolerant life.

Answer 3

I don't dislike Christians, I dislike zealous hippocrites. There's a difference. I believe Jesus had some wonderful teachings, including, but not limited to letting him with no sin cast the first stone, not judging lest ye be judged yourself (and found lacking), love thy neighbor, etc. etc. The "typical christian" (note lack of capitalization and quotation marks) however, is very quick to throw stones and judge. There is a rare creature in this world that I call a True Christian. These are wonderful people, as is anyone who has seen the Heart and Truth of their Religion. I met one of these elusive beings at a rest stop on I-10 once. It was a very enlightening space of time, and when I left, I was told that "You believe more than you'll admit to." My response was "I never claimed not to believe, just that I believe differently."
Those who want to ask loaded questions, give people with differing views thumbs downs, say that we're going to hell for our beliefs. It's silly, petty, stupidity. This is the reason for witch hunts and jihads, and I don't see how people who follow such a "Loving" diety can have these ideas about others...

Ok, I'm about done with this novel.

Answer 4

Anti atheism is doing plenty harm to Christianity that this is actual anti Christianity – David Manley It takes truly in basic terms one to make a quarrel. this is ineffective for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, whilst the wolf maintains to be of a different opinion. - William Ralph Inge. Why so unaware of what motives the backlash against christianity? all the different religions and atheists stay in peace and are in basic terms attacked via undesirable christians which motives all stable christians to melancholy on the wear and tear they do! Up till approximately 40 years lower back Christianity became thriving and there became no conflict with others yet in purely those few short years the famous christians have become illiberal, hate crammed, bigoted and persecuting ensuing in a turning out to be backlash against christianity and inflicting christianity to loose over ten % in decrease than a decade with the loss accelerating! The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only element which could quit this is to desert the detrimental human thoughts, seek for to rediscover the belief of a loving god and act like it! Posts like yours that force people further faraway from God are driving you in the direction of hell. So who're you working for the devil or the antichrist simply by fact it valuable ain't the loving god!

Answer 5

I've nothing against people who are happy to let me live my life as I choose.
And I'm more than happy to return the favour.
Quid pro quo.
If I say Christian in an unkind way, I'm using an umbrella term.
I use it to cover the multitude of people who use Christianity as an excuse to behave in a distinctly un-Christian manner.
Many of those people, I think, are not actually practicing Christians, at all, but pretend to be so for the imagined 'protection the group will afford them'.
As they see it, it gives them something to hide behind, and adds a false air of legitimacy to their actions.
I trust that people who are actually Christian have sufficient strength of faith, and character, that should they encounter such debates as happen here, will turn the other cheek, metaphorically.
Or take it all at face value; a group of people engaged in an immature argument about things which, often, they seem to know little about, venting their spleen and expressing (in often roundabout ways) their fears.
They're only being human.

If I have caused you any offence, or hurt, by my actions, then I apologise. It was not my intention to do so.
I do not come here to hurt people, but to argue against what I see as misconceptions.

Answer 6

Actually, I'm a Theist, I do believe in God but not religiously. I don't think that we can only be in heaven if we believed in Jesus. I believe that every person can believe in God without a religion. I have a Christian friend and I'm not convinced. I'm ok with how I'm thinking now.

Anyone who doesn't agree with me and wants to talk to me about it, my email is given below.

Answer 7

I do believe in God. Just because I'm a Muslim, though, doesn't mean I dislike all Christians. In fact, some of my closer friends are Christians. They have come to accept my religious beliefs as I have accepted theirs. Only Allah (most Gracious and most Merciful) can see what is in store for us.

As-Salaamu Alaikum - Peace be upon you

Answer 8

So if I'm a good person but I don't believe in Jesus then I'm going to hell?

If you're going to say something nice then do it, if you're going to preach then also do it, but please do not try to do both it just makes you sound like an arrogant, self righteous christian. Which is the main reason many Christians are disliked. Now you know.

Answer 9

I think the Christian movement made a HUGE mistake in ever making itself an arm of the Republican Party. The Christian movement invariably supports everything the Republicans want to do--to start wars, to reward the wealthy at the expense of the poor, to allow pollution that poisons babies in their mothers womb. Jesus preached against all of this, He preached, in other words, against everything that the American so called Christian movement supports today. I actually pity Christians, they have been misled away from their Faith, it has become a political faction. Check your Bible, you will see exactly ZERO references to abortion or gay marriage, yet these are the so called "issues" Republican politcal hacks get Christian voters to vote on, not Peace, which Jesus definitely liked, or charity to the poor, which He especially liked.

Answer 10

but you still think we're going to hell right? Just checking.

Straw man arguments suck. Not all atheists dislike all christians. But based on your question, I might dislike you.
