Why do people always look at the horrible side of the religion?

Question

And claim to be learning about that religion.

So why do people always see what is wrong in that religion, what the followers of the religion did despite their actions totally contradict with what their religion teach. Pay attention and notice that in context, no religion advocates evil.

Why don't anyone say about the good things they found in the religion they're studying instead?




KFC or McDonalds?

Answer 1

Human nature is to point out others faults before you can point out mine(got to get yours before you get mine)
People really do not want anyone to say hey look at what you did...They would like instead to sit and point out what I have done(figure of speech)

McDonald's #3

Answer 2

Because blind faith without questioning is just plain ignorant and stupid. Religion is cultural, man making god into their image; there is no such thing as "one true religion" made by god. Why does everyone who believes think that theirs is such? Nobody is completely right, and you'd have to be a very great fool to think any one of all "prohets" could be.
If you're learning about religion (or anything else!) you should be looking at all sides of the issue, not just a narrow perception that someone might be preaching to you. Don't be a blind lemming following some dumba** leader and drown!
It just cannot be an "all or nothing" issue. The horrible side has to be looked, too, if just to avoid being scammed.

Answer 3

Ah, but I do! I always stress the good things. I love religions, probably because when I study them, I find that they teach way more good things than bad. And I also know that way more members of every religion are good than bad. There is no point in concentrating on a minority of bad members, as if they somehow represent the religion, when the majority are good.

Taco Bell!

Answer 4

Because Religion Claims to be out of the reach of failure. But you can probe that is is plague with failures like genocide, pedophilia

So does things are the probe that Religion is just a plain Lie

Answer 5

Most people want to believe that their own religion is the true and correct one and so point out perceived errors in other religions to basically prove they are correct to themselves. If you pointed out the good things in other religions you might actually sound like you find something worth liking in it and then might consider converting(gasp). Better to be safe and ignorant by criticizing rather than reading and learning.

Burger King

Answer 6

Remember that many people do not realize that religion is NOT the same thing as worshipping God and following His will and being a Christian. Actually, religion is MAN'S way of trying to reach God. God, however, provided a way to Him through His son, Jesus Christ. That is NOT religion. THAT is having a personal relationship with your Savior who died for us all and rose again (yayyy) to go prepare a place for us who are His true followers. It is not as hard as most people think. All you have to do is realize and truly believe in your heart that He died for you, confess with your mouth that He is the Risen Lord, admit that you are a sinner (we have all sinned and all fall terribly short of the Glory of God), and ask for Him to guide your heart and your life. That is it.
Another part of all of this is the SIN part. I mean, who likes to admit their shortcomings?!? Not I, and I am a Christian through and through...I still hate doing it...but I know that I am not perfect.

Answer 7

because people don't care about the "original" teachings hidden in books .

they only care about what the followers of that religion is DOING to them and to the world we ALL share .

want people to see the good side of your religion ?
don't talk about it or give us books to read ..

do it and show us what are you talking about .

have a nice day

Answer 8

Possibly because the religious very rarely point out their own shortcomings, so other people have to do it for them.

I disagree about religion advocating evil. A number of religions promise eternal torture for non-believers, they persecute or even execute homosexuals, they condone murder and so on.

Answer 9

McDonalds~.....but i do prefer kfc's fried chicken to mcD's tho...


people usually dont give compliments when things are nice, but condemn things when they're horrible. its like being grateful. when ppl live in peace and harmony they forgot to thank God and appreciate life better. but when things go wrong, they blame on others especially on God.

Answer 10

Well ..... one thing for sure, always look at both side, but always try not to ignore the bad side..... you got my idea?

I like KFC's cheesy fries ;).
