Why is it that people have so much hate towards Christians (maby not hate, but dislike.) You have to step in our shoes. Its like if you got a good paying job, or won the lottery, woulden't you want to tell the good news to all of your friends?
The same is for Christians, we found the truth, and we want to share it with people, because it is really a life changing experince!

Tyler J hit the nail on the head.
We still believe there is only one way to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ our Lord and GOD!

For all those who responded by saying "leave me alone" or "I found a different truth..."
We would not be true to our faith if we didn't say somethign to you. It would be like seeing a child walking towards a cliff and not trying to save them. What would you think about someone who simply let them walk off the edge.
No matter what you say, we believe that there is only one truth..Jesus. And we beieve that there is only one way to Heaven...Jesus. If you don't have a relationship with Him, we want to help you...not annoy you or preach down your throat.
It is an act of love...not hate.

First of all, we don't hate Christians simply for trying to tell us about their religion--if it's in a situation where it's welcome. (An open religious discussion, or friends discussing their beliefs with each other.) What we DISLIKE, is having strangers knock on our doors and disturb us in our HOMES to push their beliefs on us. We DISLIKE people trying to get their personal religious beliefs written into our laws, or taught in our public schools. How would you feel if Scientologists were trying to get a story about aliens putting nuclear weapons in volcanoes a million years ago and humans being possessed by the spirits of aliens put into science classes? That's what THEY believe, and there's no more evidence indicating that THIS story is true or false than the "Creation" story that Christians are trying to push into science classes.
And we don't consider YOUR personal religious beliefs to be "truth". To us, the word "Truth" indicates that there is some sort of fact involved, and there is no evidence whatsoever that any religious belief has any basis in fact at all. I'm happy for you that you've found happiness with your beliefs, but they are YOUR beliefs, and your strong desire to share it doesn't mean that we should be forced to listen to it. BE happy in your beliefs, but only share them with those that want to hear it.

I guess when you want to give someone a Gift... no matter how good or how precious it is, you still need to respect the recepient's wishes if he or she wants that gift or not...
Its like trying to force-give a beautiful comb made from the finest material worth a million dollars on a person who is bald from illness, natural hair loss or chemo therapy. You wont make the person feel uplifted but in fact make them feel really bad... then the precious gift is no more wonderful but sorrowful

Because of those who demonstrate willing ignorance.
For example, a christian is someone who is supposed to follow Jesus Christ right? So how come so few christians can quote his message beyond a few stock standard quotes?
Why is it that quotes of Paul of Tarsus, quotes of the Old testament are so much more important to them?

i grew up as a Christian, I don't hate them. Just I found the religion to be in my opinion fake, its book altered/corrupted, its holidays all pagan. I'm not a pagan, I only want the word of God, so I left Christianity for Islam. Do I now hate Christians, no , never, they are my brothers and sisters.

Why is it that Christians keep telling us about their religion? Why not just accept that not everyone shares your views?Christians have hate towards us because we don't share your beliefs I don't hate or even dislike Christan's.Your beliefs are just that, your beliefs. I may not share them but if they're your beliefs and I respect that. It would be nice if that thought was reciprocated.

No. It's not.
You've read a book. Everyone has read that book. But YOU seem to GET the book differently and you want evveryone to know it.
You want the government to know.
You want the school board to know.
You want my doctor and pharmasist to know.
Everyone has to know that book the same way YOU do.
And anyone who doesn't listen to your claptrap, when your pounding on their door at 7am on a Saturday is gonna burn in Hell.
Go away and leave us sane people alone.

Ephesians 6:12[kjv]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
verse clearly says we need to fight the devil.not the world.U see devil hates christians.Because christians will tell the truth.
John 8:32[kjv]And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
So dont worry keep spreading the gospel.
Ecclesiastes 9:10[kjv]Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free.
Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

I dont want to see others burn for eternity.
I challenge the mockers, blaspemers and God-haters to think about the description of hell and what it would mean to be there for eternity if your belief is wrong. Would you be so bold to stand by your belief when you are near your death?
It is easy to type behind a computer screen without anyone watching, but each and eveyone one of us will stand before Jesus Christ, alone with only our actions to give account for.
Is it so wrong to love your fellow man enough to show him a way to escape the coming judgement. God created this world, and he will judge it.
Someone a long time ago shared this escape plan with me, I want to do the same.

There's a difference between sharing, and ramming it down people's throats. Too many Christians are so zealous in "sharing" that they, sometimes almost literally, whap you upside the head with their Bible!

I did step into those shoes, I was a baptized JW. for ten years. What truth are you talking about? Truth can be found outside a religious organization, in fact its easier to find once you stop listening to mistruth.
