Do you dislike me just because I'm a Christian?

Question

There's been hate groups going on at college and I don't like it.

Answer 1

I don't dislike people for their own religion. I do dislike people who slam other peoples religions mostly from people who call themselves Christians...They hate the worst.
I'm a Mormon. I respect you living your religion, but a few of your co-religionists, don't respect mine. They hate it...making them the hate mongers worse then others.
I don't call your religion a cult, brainwashed. etc.

Answer 2

No, I don't. For one thing, I don't know you. For another thing, I don't dislike people because of their religious backgrounds. My best friend is Christian and obviously I don't dislike her. I'm merging over into the Christian-Wicca religion, and her and I will still be best friends. I have a gay friend whose also Christian, and another Gay friend whose Mormon. I also have an agnostic friend. I feel sorry for those people who have made hate groups against Christians. Some people are just afraid of anything that's different from them. Just ignore them. They're going to live pretty pitiful lives if they revolve their everyday activities with bigotry.

Answer 3

No I don't dislike you because you are a christian, in fact I don't dislike you period because I do not know you.

I will say that there are a lot aspects of the religion christianity I do not like or do not agree with but I would never hold that against you as a practitioner unless you constantly tried to convert me. I respect anyone's right to their belief or non-belief and like the same in return.

Answer 4

I'm not a Christian, but I really don't have anything against other people of different beliefs. I dislike those that judge ME for not following THEIR beliefs. I have my own, and I'm okay with listening to yours as well. Just don't push them on me. (I know you're not pushing your beliefs on me with this question, but it's good advice for your problem. This might be the cause.) Ciao!!!

Answer 5

I don't have anything against christians, and I have nothing against you. However, if you posted this because you feel motivated to tell all atheists what horrible and intolerable then I don't think I can like someone like that. Most atheists, if not all generally don't have anything against christians! What ticks them off is the tactics christians use to try and convert others into their way of thinking, and people telling them god exists and that they will rot in hell etc. If these groups arise, it could only have in my mind sprouted from christianity being forced into parts of society that they feel is a breach of freedom of thought etc...

Answer 6

Nope. Although I have had negative experiences with Christians in the past. And I do confess that it made me cautious when dealing with them, everyone deserves a fair chance. Would you dislike someone just because they are not Christian.

Answer 7

St. John Chrysostom: “I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jews and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time... This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots ... A place where a whore stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the synagogue is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals ... not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal ... When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jews have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “as for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (Luke 19.27).”

Answer 8

No. I love you not only because you are a Christian, but because this is what Jesus commands of us.

"These things have I spoken unto
you, that my joy might remain with you, and that your joy
might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one
another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are
my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth
I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all
things that I have heard of my Father I have made known
unto you." (John 15:11-15)

For this reason above all, you should pray for those who persecute against you, for they are the lost souls. Ask God to watch over them and shine his light upon them, so that they may find their way to him. Remember who you are and why you are here. God has a plan for each one of us, and as a Christian, we are to keep his commandments. Those who fall short of the Glory of God are just lost and confused, for they know not what they do.

When in doubt, ask yourself this question: What would Jesus do?

Answer 9

There ought not be any kind of hate groups allowed on college campuses, but in the United States, Christians seem to have the monopoly on them, everything from the KKK, to neo-Nazis, to the Moral Majority. All Christianity-based, all hate-groups. Please excuse me if I don't think the ACLU or the Gay-Straight Alliance clubs qualify as hate groups.

Answer 10

No, I don't like the fact that ppl hate Christians. But Jesus told us that people will hate us for following Him. But we r 2 rejoice in all circumstances. We aren't living 4 ourselves, but we're living 4 God. No matter what we do, we're doing it for God. People hate us because of the evil inside them. They hate Jesus who is the light and so they will hate us because we are His children.

Answer 11

No. People don't dislike you simply because you're Christian...they dislike Christians who feel that it is their duty to push their believe system upon the rest of the world.
