Christians?

Question

Purely hypothetical..but..

I am running a program to treat religious addiction,(Christianity is being catagorised as a harmful addiction in my country) and I have massive EU government funding..to treat 20,000 people a month.

If this were true..how would you react? Would the project co-ordinators and the people working there be in any danger.

Would they be treated like abortionists?

Christians who are agast at this suggestion are hypocrites..
Homosexuals recieve "treatment" at camps etc.

Answer 1

too bad it's only hypothetical

Answer 2

While most Christians are opposed to abortion, most are against committing violence against abortionists. A few extremists commit such violence.

I think the notion that Christianity is a harmful addiction is utterly stupid. That may be true of a small percentage of Christians. It is not true of the majority of them.

Governments should not become involved in religious issues in any manner or form. But if I were a citizen of a country which chose to treat Christianity as a harmful addiction I would emigrate.

I would do this if I were not a Christian. It happens that I am one. But even when I was not a practicing Christian I supported religious freedom, which means allowing people to worship and practice their religions as long as such practices don't harm or endanger other people. And most Christian denominations don't harm or endanger other people.

Answer 3

You do have some odd ideas!!
95% of those who marched in Edinburgh prior to the G8 summit were Christians;
The opposition to human trafficking is largely Christian
It was a Christian group that first brought the world's attention to the tragedy in Sudan.

Harmful? Which planet do you live on?

As Christians are often villified as being rabid ANTI-abortionists why your final question?

PS If you have EU funding why would you spell 'program' as if you were in the USA rather than the UK English version 'programme'

As Lewis Carol would say, "Curiouser and curiouser!!"

Answer 4

I wouldn't fire-bomb the building if that's what you mean.

I can only assume that in order to treat 20,000 per month, the treatment must consist of a bullet.

I would not personally sign up for treatment. If I was forced to, I wouldn't give up my beliefs, I'd ask you to disprove them in a logical manner. I would also expect some sort of certificate showing what a dismal failure I had been in your program.

The Bible condems homosexuality not true Christianity.

Answer 5

I'm not christian and even I'd be appalled at such a scheme. Your hypothesis that practicing Christianity amounts to mental disease is really disgusting. All those christian charities around the world feeding, clothing, and treating sick and poor people have had a tremendously positive impact on society. Thus christian faith is an instrumental ethic that I respect, although don't believe.

Answer 6

I don`t know which country you are in, but I do know that super beings, spirits, gods, etc., are only in the brainwashed minds of a very lot of people who cannot get rid of the rubbish implanted there by stupid parents, vicars, priests, religious nuts and so on who cannot see the wood for the trees in the way.
Religion should be banned, but you must be careful what you say or you might upset religious people. They can upset you, as an atheist, but you must NOT upset them in return or they will complain and have you removed from YAHOO! I have already been threatened with that.
To prove that point: there are many customs etc that we have had in the past, like celebrating christmas, or putting up crosses etc, must now stop because it upsets people of other religions - but they can upset us, of course, even thouth they are foreigners and were not born here, and do what they like!!
My opinion is: if they don`t like what we do, say or believe in -stay away!!

Answer 7

Nothing you could do would change our faith.Atheists and others have been trying in vain for thousands of years.
They must be jealous and/or feel threatened otherwise they would not bother.
I know some people believe in ghosts but I don't spend my time trying to put them down or saying they are wrong.
The atheist doth protest too much methinks.

Answer 8

I am in the US an i can't remember when the last clinic got bombed but I am sure it was some time ago. If you want to pick on a religious violence why do you ignore radical Islam. I don't think anyone has to research when the last time that group blew something up.

The answer to your question would be yes.

Answer 9

'What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.' Mic 6:8 NIV

What sort of person treats others for humble, just and merciful behaviour?

Answer 10

well the co-ordinators of this project would be in danger, the Lord is so powerful, that all their plans would be recked.
having Christian Addicts is a good thing as we are very powerful people yet harmless.
I'll pray for you.

Answer 11

I am a Christian.
I am not "religious" (now there is an insulting word if ever there was one)
So what therapy program do I get?
