Why do people on yahoo answers pick on Christians so much. We never pick on jews or budhists?

Question

im just saying, you know, i dont want to make fun of jews or budhists but im just saying

Answer 1

Gosh, no offense!

Answer 2

Buddhists are way too in tune with themselves and the universe for them to be affected by petty online jokes. At least the ones that I know personally are. And Jews are the God of The Bible's "chosen people" and have been made fun of and persecuted for thousands of years longer than Christians have. They tend to deal with it a little bit better.

I personally don't have a problem with Christians, but they do have a tendency to "flock to oppression" ... and their responses can be amusing at times.

Answer 3

People pick on Jews quite often here. I suspect you know that, but just want to make a point.

As for Buddhists, the ruling fascist Party doesn't go round trying to force Buddhism on us. So it's no menace to anybody.

Answer 4

Granted that I havent read anything specificly bad said against either jews and/or budhists, however, I have read plenty of derogatory remarks made about non-christians such as atheists and/or agnostics. That may just have something to do with it.

Answer 5

Jesus speaks to his disciples before his death: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as it's own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come & spoken to them,they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, & yet they have hated both me & my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their law: 'They hated me without reason.' All this I told you so you will not go astray...the time comes when anyone who kills you will think they do God a service.They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.I have told you this so when the time comes you will remember that I warned you."
Peter to Christians: "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory & of God rest on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name."

Answer 6

I think the problem is that Christians seem to push their beliefs on others and the only argument they have is to quote the Bible which was a book written by men which can be questioned for validity. Furthermore, most were born and raised in church and believe that their religion is the only religion. So every other religion is wrong? I don't think so.

Answer 7

Judaism and Buddhism are not evangelical religions. Because of that, Jews and Buddhists do not force their beliefs on others because they do not actively "recruit" new believers into the fold. They do not tell people that they'll spend eternity in Hell if they do not do things as they do, etc. etc. People get really defensive and turned off when someone tells them that they're "wrong" about their view of God and sometimes they respond by lashing out. Sorry if you got caught in some of the crossfire...

Answer 8

Everyone seems to pick on the Jews in real life so it isn't sporting.

And I really don't know what I would say to pick on a Buddhist. Maybe I'll give it a shot for you.

Answer 9

I don't think I have ever had a Jew of Buddhist try to convert me, or scare me into joining their religion. They also don't really try to bring their religion into our government. They are not as common as Christians, and don't have the same funny reactions, so it would be hard and boring to mess with them.

Answer 10

Because we make such easy targets. With the craziness that some Christians spout it's like being the broad side of a barn.

Answer 11

I don't pick on christians, I answer questions, they are mostly from christians. I don't pick on the above mentioned either. I don't know much about them, save for what I hear on the news.
