By "picking on people who don't follow Christianity," I mean something along the lines of saying "you're bad, worthless, need to be converted, etc." Why pick on other people when Christians are taught to "Love your neighbor as yourself," etc.? It doesn't say love your neighbor ONLY if s/he is Christian or follows the Christian way. I'm trying to be a peacemaker here as much as possible, not trying to offend anyone.

I wouldn't really call it picking on us. But they do keep on and on and on about christianity be the one and only religion. that any other religions are false.
I think it is because that is what is taught, and they feel like if they do not try and convert you (testify or spread the word) then they are not fullfilling their duties..
The bible can say one thing but if they do not agree with it and aslong as they believe in god then it is ok if they do the opposite of what the bible says... Double standards...

brilliant question and training! the subject with people who use the Bible to justify homophobia is which you won't be able to pin them down. they're going to continually have an excuse as to why they are able to forget approximately besides the fact that element of the Bible they choose, yet by no potential question the climate they use to justify their sin of homophobia. isn't it exciting how maximum will say something like, "The previous testomony now no longer applies. Christ fulfilled the regulation along with his own blood and we at the instant are under grace." yet, those are the precise same people who use Leviticus many times and over to revile gay human beings. curiously, to them no longer something interior the OT applies different than the two verses they use to attack gay human beings.

The majority of Christians do not pick on other religions. But Christians are many times called upon to defend their faith. Actually, I think it's the Christians who are the ones picked on, laughed at, ridiculed, scorned and hated.

Jade, why dont Christians follow there own religion and stop picking on non christians? first of all, you are going to have to be more specific, what do you mean when you say picking on people? How are these people picking on people and what are there claims of justification for thier actions? these are fundamental questions that need to be answered before I can ever begin to answer your question.

How do you mean "picking on"? if you mean, judging, you're right, the ones who do that are in the wrong. However, if you mean simply expressing their views within hearing distance of you, we have just as much right to express Christian views as you do to express secular ones, so at the risk of YOU looking like a hypocrite, you need to climb down off of us.

Why don't you follow your own religion, and quit picking on people that follow Christianity? Sorry Christians care about people souls, more than people care about themselves.
We have a right to share are beliefs just like you are doing right now. Telling us we can't.

because they are taught to spread the gospel to everybody and getting people to convert is a huge part of their religion

They can't because of the evangelical nature of their religion. It commands them to go forth and "spread the Word", so they annoy practically everyone they can.
Basically, Christianity is like a mind virus, and it commands its infected hosts to go out and spread it among others.
EDIT: Look, just beneath me, there's one doing it now! Using the fear tactic to try to spook you into joining them! LOL!
