Answer 2

We, as believers, must believe the same on the essentials of the faith, but beyond that there is great latitude in how a Christian should worship, serve, and live his life. This latitude is what causes so many different flavors of Christianity. Diversity is a good thing, but disunity is not. If two churches disagree doctrinally, it is fine that they remain separate. This separation, though, does not lift the responsibility Christians have to love one another (1 John 4:11-12) – and ultimately be united as one in Christ (John 17:21-22).

Answer 3

Not any particular group - just the ones that act as if they 'know it all' but actually have very little knowledge - alot of it incorrect - that is totally based upon what someone has told them.

Think about it - they will tell you that this is what they have been taught 'all their life' or the 'well, this is what the priest/preacher/pastor told me' as if that such came directly from the mouth of God but then can't back up anything that they have said from scripture. Oh, they may also have a book - just not the bible - written by someone that they have placed their total faith in - just that faith is suppose to be based upon relationship with Jesus towards God. Let me not forget those that listen to all the 'Christian TV' and think anything and everything said must be 'true' vs. actually doing personal study and seeing if what is suggested is even based upon what is within scripture (the ones that like to pull a verse from scripture to 'support' their point - but then when you check out the scripture and the content, it has nothing to do with what they suggest).

Even for Christians, such types of people and attempting to talk to them is like banging one's head against a wall. Frustrating to say the least.

Answer 4

Sanctified or Holiness churches. Sanctification and Holiness is the goal of all Christians but none will be made Holy or LIKE Christ until we are in heaven. Saintified churches convict and condemn people for sins that take place right in their own churches and the fact is no one is God so no on has the right to make other people horribly ashamed and guilty of sin when Jesus has paid the price for it all and God will be the judge of it all!!

Answer 5

Catholicism - God loves all people so why should I be forced to sit in a separate room far away from the sanctuary simply because I am not Catholic? I have had no good experience with this religion and I'm not saying it's horrible to be Catholic, most of my family is Catholic.

Answer 6

Christianity itself

Answer 7

Fundamentalist Protestants.

"Oh, let me count the ways..." -Shakespeare

1. Intelligent design in schools

2. Disdain for secular governance

3. Cosmological age of universe supposedly 6,000 years

4. Bigotry against Catholics and non-believers (it goes both ways)

5. Mega churches and schools to spread their nonsense (Liberty University was founded by Jerry Falwell. They say that dinosaur bones in their museum are 3,000 years old).

6. Disdain for contraception and organ donation (at least my mother, but she's a particularly vitriolic fanatic)

7. Belief that the end times are near and humanity is biblically screwed in the next 100 years; desire to see world events support their bronze age myths.

8. Laws against personal behavior (against all abortions and unmarried cohabitation in North Dakota, more trigger laws in U.S., efforts in Terry Shiavo case, Kansas supporting I.D., Texas banning gay adoptions, etc).

9. Threats of hellfire to homosexuals and other non-believers, including alternate Christian denominations.

10. Fundamentalist quacks like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson who ascribe childhood cancer to demon possession or a curse on the family by god (saw him say this on a preaching segment).

11. Widespread influence in American politics.

12. Bible as infallible text seen as validated by "true science."

13. Speaking in tongues, exorcisms, and prophesy about the world

14. Indoctrinating kids through psychologically harmful practicies that reinforce dogma and restrict alternate thinking (see "Jesus Camp")

Need I say more?

Granted, not all Protestant branches do this, but some are fanatical, especially the Born Agains.

Answer 8

The entire tree is obnoxious.

Answer 9

The ones who dance with snakes

Answer 10

Protestants, some Lutherans I know in particular.
