For the record I do my best to respect Christianty. Most Christians I know are great people. But I think its a bit hyptocritical to insult other religons by claimed thier Gods are false when they have just as much proof as yours. If you can't respect our faith how you can expect other to respect yours?
Not ALL of you! If this doesn't pertain to you then I'm not talking to you now am I?

I am a Christian, and I see it.
I am going to make some people unhappy here, but I have to say this.
I am sad that some atheists seem to hate Christians. Now, I know that they just don't have hate in their hearts. Something had to cause them to feel this way. I would be willing to bet that most atheists have a negative view of Christians because of the way that they have been treated. I would bet that some Christians have shoved Bible verses down their throats and told them they were going to hell, etc.
They won't let up.
They are rude and disrespectful. I think it is primarily the findamentalists who are giving Christians a bad name and who are acting in a way that is just the opposite of how Jesus told us to treat other people.

Am I right? (I post this question to the atheists.) Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe that many atheists would attack without having been provoked.

No man, (or woman), should judge. God will judge. If someone thinks or sais that anyone else is doing wrong by participating the wong religion they are not being very "good christians". I find that funny, "good christian/morman/cathlic/whatever" You are, or are not.

Dont preach to me I have to much BS incoming. People need to focus more on themselves and there familys rather than worring about everyone else, god will take care of us.

I dont preach to people because I am not as conceeded to think I have all the knowledge to teach others and always do the correct thing everytime. But if someone would like to sit down and work things over and talk them out maybe we all could learn a little something. It makes no since to bash one anouther for trying to do good.

Live Good and do good all the time. That is pretty simple.
Oh and dont be judgmental and neg.

Thank you for such a great question. I feel better, did you get anything pos. from this? I think we are on the same page or at least in the same book.


If very thing is good why are there people everyday killing other and at war with others because of what they believe?

Thats like saying I think blue shouold be called yellow and I want to go to war over my strong belief. Come on, people get real. i think god forgot some peoples common since. Or is common since against the freedom of speach laws.

One nation under GOD......

The whole action of asking a question opens the door for people to state their beliefs. I just wish that every person on R&S would realize and state that this is their belief and that they defend their rights to claim it. I'm a Pagan and a Witch and I give no one else the right to tell me my beliefs are wrong and that I don't have the right to claim these beliefs as something that I derive comfort from.

The Christian God seems very arrogant when his followers state what they believe. But deep down I don't blame the Christian God for what his follower say. because they choose to speak for him. I don't speak for the Lord and Lady, but I do speak for myself when people feel the need to try to persuade (often violently) me of their religion's truth.

As a minister I had many classes in world religions and cultures and I've seen them all and debated many of my class members about the need to believe that your religion is the best and everyone else needs to know that. When so many people get together and shout their beliefs all you have is noise!

I am willing to respect your religion if you will respect mine. Please don't use your beliefs to define mine and I will respect you all the more. I am not a Christian and only if I was would your fear of witches or magick be grounded.

I think I am going to adopt a catch phrase from now on to close my answers. When Christians keep this planet as clean as they keep their churches, then I'll be impressed with them. All the trash that people fling about polutes this planet more and more every day and while those Christians who are too busy worrying about their afterlife to care, you are leaving a hell on earth for your children. If the Christian God made man and woman from the earth, then that earth is very special and you should leave it cleaner than when you were born. This is what having an earth based religion is about.

It's not a lack of respect; it's just hard to respect something that doesn't exist.

Think of the following tombs:

Buddha's: occupied
Muhammad's: occupied
Ghandi's: occupied
Jesus': empty

So when I say "Praise Allah and pass the pork" I'm not really insulting anyone.

The reality is, I doubt anyone's religious position is changed as a result of what they read on Y!A. You want to worship some non-existent god of camels or whatever, then so be it. I don't have to like it or condone it or answer for it. But if you want nothing but others whom agree with your biased perspective, you should find a faith-specific board and post away.

Tell me about it. They were great people until I got pregnant to someone for them was a non believer. If I did not dump him and leave my daughter fatherless, they would not help me or support me. If you do not live like them, then they are not your friends. I no longer go to that church, nor speak to anyone there. I went back to being Catholic. But uh, aren't catholics also christians too? I also respect religions. I think God is everywhere, no matter how you believe it.

The only people Christ called hypocrites were the religious leaders of his day. They were more interested in who's in or who's out than in actually helping people draw closer to God. According to Jesus, the so called "righteous" were responsible for keeping people from God. True "religion" is serving your fellow man at the cost of your own personal comfort.

If a Christian truly believes his/her Bible, then they have to believe that belief in Christ and his work on the cross is the only way to salvation.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by me."

If you say that you are a Christian, but you say that other belief systems are just as good, then you are contradicting the very Scripture on which you base your beliefs.

It is the same way with other religions that claim to be "THE" way to some kind of heaven or eternal paradise. If they then say, "well your belief is fine," they are contradicting their own belief system.

If you have multiple belief systems claiming they are the ONLY way, then they can't all be true. Only one or zero can be true, but not more than one.

Not actually hypocricy. Vile bigotry born from blissful ignorance.

A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own.

I'd say the phrase "your god is false because mine is true" pretty much falls under that definition? And I'd say a lot of religious people use that phrase.

Anyway, nothing personal.

its seems organised religion and hypocrisy go hand in hand. along with intollerance.
christianity, islam - they are the same - apart from christians stopped killing people in the name of religion many hundreds of years ago - although.. ????
the problem it seems is that religion is not a good place to lead a country from. and sadly human nature as it is.. there is no way to seperate it out....

yes, it is called "Judging" that is the only problem others have with christianity. It all boils down to judging. the love and sharing in the church is all good, it is the underlining judging of others that bothers people.
