There seems to be a fair amount of anti-Christian feeling out there, what does this mean?

Question

Could have something to do with the same hatred that saw an innocent man crucified?

Answer 1

Are you equating Y!A views with the execution of someone 2,000 years ago? Or perhaps you mean in the wider world?

Either way I think you're overstating things. Talk to some Muslims, see how they feel.

We're living in a secular age (in the UK at least) and people are more than willing to voice their views, religious or otherwise. Yes, some are 'hateful' but, thankfully, they are generally in the minority. But a wide and divergent set of views is surely what a tolerant democratic society is about?

No-one is going to agree with everyone else, but to think it's Christians who are particularly singled out is, in my view, just plain wrong.

Answer 2

I don't know where to begin. Firstly, the bible has been butchered together by the Romans making it false and not complete. The stories are so far from the original truth now and all the christian sects have added their bits too. Remember when the church gave a pardon to Mary Magdalene for labelling her a prostitute.

The Christians I know are not tolerant of others, are blinded by their faith and ignorant of others in the world. They don't want to know or understand other people from other religions. Its there way or no way and therefore all non-Christians are wrong. They don't think that a gay person has feelings and may also be a christian but they are wrong. The wealth and lavishness of the church makes an interesting discussion considering the extreme poverty seen in the third world.

And finally (but I'm sure there is loads I have missed) the current war in Iraq and impending Iranian war are a Christian/Muslim war, started by Christians on another crusade to wipe the world clean of non-Christians.

I have no religion and I'm a happy, honest, reliable and generous person. You don't need a religion, you can work life out for yourself. I'm sure I'll get loads of thumb downs by angry Christians but the truth hurts sometimes.

Answer 4

I am not a Christian, but I used to be one. I have nothing against Christians, but I have seen Christians attacking Muslims, Islam and the Holy Quraan. By the way, I have nothing against the guy who was crucified because I once believed in him.

I believe people have the Right to Freedom of Cult, as guaranteed by the Constitution. But that Right doesn't imply the right to insult others.

Look at you. You asked a clean, not insulting question. You seem to be a Christian. I applaud your clean way of presenting your question.

Answer 5

The Christian faith willingly made itself a branch of the Republican Party in order to cash in on the treasury under President Bush. They made a terrible mistake in identifying the Christian Faith with a political movement which does have its problems--the war is a problem, the trillion dollar debt to Communist China is a problem, shipping jobs overseas is a problem, etc etc. It was a very unwise move. People are justifiably angry with tax exempt preachers for campaigning for the Republican Party. They marked themselves as hypocrites, favoring war when Jesus clearly favored peace, favoring the wealthy when Jesus clearly favored caring for the poor, and campaigning on issues like abortion or gay marriage when Jesus never even mentioned either one of them. Jesus threw money changers out of the Temple for a good reason, yet that is exactly the type of money grubbing hypocrites who run the Christian churches today. Thank you for your thoughtful question.

Do you remember the night of 9-11, when Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson were on CNN, happy as pigs in slop that the US had been attacked, that 3000 had been murdered, because as they saw it it showed how much God hated America. These are seriously sick people.

Answer 6

There is plenty of anti-Muslim, anti Jewish, anti-Jehovah Witnesses, anti-Hindu, and anti everything else. Religion has always caused a lot of debate and generated a tremendous amount of emotion throughout history. It does have something to do with all the merciless killing of innocent people in the name of religion. So no, I don't think it has anything to do with the crucifixion of Jesus.. .

Answer 7

we were putting a show of clairvoyance, and also during the day we had a psychic fayre all day long we had christians camped outside the theatre trying to convert us to there religion I am a spiritualist and proud of it. in the evening there was a whole lot of them trying to give out there newspaper and saying this is devils work. i dont stand outside there church and say this is wrong each to there own after all it all goes back to the same sauce in the end i felt sorry for the poor bloke camped still outside with his mrs i said come on in but they declined

Answer 8

I feel that a lot of Christians react with outrage on discovering I'm a non-believer. I'm not anti, I just have a different opinion and do tend to defend myself vigorously if I feel attacked. You believe what you believe with no doubt - same here.

Answer 9

No, but comments like yours actually answer your question a lot of us find the arrogance of many Christians hard to stomach. The casual assumption of moral superiority and belief that the rest of us should give their often mindless assumptions some sort of special respect can become irritating. I don't mind what people believe as long as they don't try to inflict it on me and Christians never can seem to resist foisting their believes on others that don't want them.

Answer 10

I think its because so many of the leaders in the christian churches are so hateful towards others that do not conform to their way of thinking
