Tory, Christianity is Christianity. Do you subscribe or not? If it is your belief system, do you feel the need to make excuses for it?

Prays Toward Funkytown- What sin do you say I'm guilty of?

12. Judges others indiscriminantly.

Anticore- What does Christianity have to do with the teachings of Christ? Not much apparently. I agree with you Christians, especially these Christians, do not follow the teachings of Christ. These is another reason it is so evil. Thanks for adding to the list. You're so much smarter than I am.

13. Christianity does not follow the teachings of Christ.

Answer 1

Retards society and stops it from progressing by trying to impose ancient outdated morals on it

Answer 2

Ok. This is one of the dumbest lists I have seen!

1.Discourages free-thought and expression.
-Only to those that allow it to, I find that frees my mind more and more each day, and I am more expressive than I have ever been.

2.Prevents any honest examination of life.
-Again, only if you allow it too. Christ taught unconditional love. Helping mankind. Socialist ideals that many Antitheists claim that Christianity upsets.

3.Encourages belief in a hateful, spiteful and jealous God.
-The God of the New Testament is a god of love and peace. Obviously you have not read the New Testament with this kind of silly question. The old Testament does not apply to Christians. To be honest how can it? It is Jewish law.

4.Responsible for rampant spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa, as evidenced by well-meaning Missionaries discouraging the use of condoms.
- This is not Christianity. Christ never taught to hold back condoms. I think you are ignorant to Christ’s teachings and thusly also Christianity. The Missionaries are just crazy people with crazy Agendas. Neither Christ nor his teachings have anything to with this situation. It is just some crazy straw you as the asker pull to further an antitheist agenda.

5. Responsible for the decimation of Native Americans by well meaning Missionaries carrying and spreading smallpox.
-Some psycho Spanish people did this horrific thing to the Native Mexican population in the name of God and their King. The Pilgrims, and again The American Government in the 1800's. Doesn’t mean it’s Christian. I challenge you show me where Christ said kill the Indians? In fact If Christ was with the Spanish that day I guarantee that there would have been no murders. By saying that Christians are responsible is like saying that Asia was behind the VT shootings, just because the guy was Asian. Really this is just a list of nonsense.

6.The Crusades
-This one was created by the Catholic Church as a means to protect the cites against the raiding Arabs. I will agree that this is the closest thing so far on your list that makes any sense. Although again this was not Christianity’s fault it was a political Vatican issue. Christ would never have allowed for this. So this is grey line, But I’m nice so I’ll let you have it.

7.The Inquisition
-This was no not Christian. This was pure Vatican Politics. Duh..

8.Not suffering a witch to live.
- Jewish law buddy. Christ’s teachings clearly say to love all people. So a witch would be included.

9.Our government thinking it's the mighty right arm of God.
- You just flawed this statement up badly. Um.. how about the government’s fault… weak statement here. But the straws are dwindling.

10.Discourages scientific and medical progress (i.e., stemcell research)
- When did Christ teach us this? Oh no he didn’t did he? I think this is more a conservative view rather than anything.

11.Child abuse and molestation
- Weakest case yet. Did you know that non-Christians molest and abuse too? I don’t think you do with this kind of statement. Molesting and Abuse is not taught by Christ nor is it a Christian doctrine so that ends that.

Its so easy and ignorant to blame an entire group of people for the mistakes of the few. Its a racist ideal you have and I feel sorry for you.

Answer 3

Even among Christians you will find different opinions and interpretation of various things, so it's not completely fair of you to group all Christians into one negative stereotype. Also, some of the things on your list have nothing to do with being "Christian", such as #11 to name just one.

Child molesters can be found in all denominations, among atheists, satanists, and everything in between. I don't mean to offend you, but I'm sorry, you appear to be the one who is a narrow minded and unwilling to "honestly" examine people and events. Yet you're projecting this onto all Christians?

Answer 4

i hate to recognize peoples by them religions not all the Christians have the list you upload its matter of mentality not a religion at all by the way I'm not Christian but i hate to push the religion when we talk about mentality if you had bad experience with some Christians you know so I'll tell you don't know all to put such a general list I'm not offended you but I'm just say my point of view here

Answer 5

What can I say? I agree 100%. All organized religion is evil, but Christianity really is in a league of it's own.

Answer 6

We should just give the Christians their own cross so they can nail themselves to it.

Answer 7

I think you about covered it. Lets just hope this time it sinks in to their tiny little brains.

Answer 8

DOES NOT ENDORSE AND CONDONE YOUR SIN?
I would suspect that this reason probably trumps all the other reasons.

Answer 9

They pray for the world to end.

Answer 10

You will get no end of poopie for this. I fully agree.
