Especially Christianity. Why is meathod of worship chastized?
Why is peoples chosen direction so bashed?
I see very few left that still have nice things to say.

I don't think Christianity is frowned upon any more than any other religion, in fact is it many times those claiming to follow Christ that rag on and belittle the other "non-believers" in the forum.
I think go for it, to each his own. As long as you disagree in a manner that is polite, adult and reasonable, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion no matter how different it is from mine

There are a great many people with closed minds who are Christian and that is why so many outsiders bad mouth it. There are plenty of close minded people from other religions as well, but Christianity is the most targeted especially because of the history of objectionable missionary work in "sinful cultures". Pedophilic Catholic priests are also not helping your cause. Your religion preaches peace and love but there are numerous examples of when that is not practiced, i.e. bigotry. Why do Christians hate Jews and Muslims? They too read an Abrahamic book. You three have more similarities than differences, you're all peaceful so why can't you just get along and stop speaking for God and starting wars over it. If He had something to say you're damn right we'd hear about it!
I used to be Roman Catholic, but I've since turned Agnostic because I just don't think anyone has gotten it right yet. You should have morals, you should be nice to people, you should be honest and fair - that's all.

you think many people frown on christianity? join the LDS church.
I don't understand why the LDS church has such a bad rap. they're the most friendly and fun people I have ever met. they never smoke, drink, take drugs, etc. They respect their body by abhoring tattoos and multiple piercings. they build very nice churchhouses and Temples. Plus, it's an all-race religion and they don't believe in hell, just heaven and the outer darkness. I don't see anything wrong with them.

It's not chrisianity, but the belief that they have to bug us all until we give up ourselves to be like them that irritates most people. I don't care what religion you have in your house, it's the fact that you try to sell it at my door, on the corner, or even in radio and TV ads that bothers me.

Some religions have some of the truth, but there is just one that is approved of by God himself and carry his name as Holy.

The World Hates the Disciples
18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its 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. 20Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.'[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23He who hates me hates my Father as well.
24If 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, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'[c]
26"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

Speaking hypothetically, it's because I'm right and everyone else is wrong (not that I really believe that!).
