Not all christians are like that, you have just had bad experiences. Most christians are just like you, normal ppl but they have god inside them and that is huge gift!

Answer 1

1. i dont think christians hate me.. i have no reason to.
2. i dont.. i think most religions dont deal with what they want to teach the right way. by scaring people with hell and telling them if they do good they go heaven... i dont think most people follow religion for the right reasons.
3. again i dont... they are just informing me of christianity probably trying to save me... but it doesnt matter ill stick with my own religion.

Answer 2

1. I don't think about christians hating me, I couldn't care less. I would be far more concerned to discover that people who are well versed in the mainstream sciences hated me, as at least their opinions are informed..
2. Christianity is very much about rules and restrictions, clearly you don't understand the dogmas of your faith very well if you think not. The restrictions being more about keeping knowledge of the natural world at bay, where an enlightened flock might soon see the absurdity of adhering to a ficticious, bigoted, ignorant, ill informed, and scientifically illiterate religion.
3. Christianity is about lobbying power through numbers, so to claim that conversion isn't in the christian mandate, only shows your ignorance and naivity on the matter, and so many others no doubt..

Answer 3

You wrote: "We don't try to force you into something you don't want to follow but the bible tells us to spread the good news that Jesus died for our sins and rose again. We only try to help you because we love every1 and want you to be in heaven w/ us."

Christians who go about 'spreading the word' are totally oblivious that their own gullibility and lack of discernment, has resulted in their having been unwittingly sucked up into a huge, conspiratorial, criminal business enterprise... the most successful Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam of all time, selling the ILLUSION of hope and salvation... but the pay-plan doesn't kick-in until after you're dead. They have no awareness at all that their 'prostletizing' is nothing more than a key component of the MARKETING PLAN, which was instituted after the Age of Enlightenment kicked in, and secular knowledge and ethics deprived Christianity of the political power that had previously allowed them to simply torture and kill anybody who did not comply. Now, they attempt to just pester people to death, through sheer persistence and obnoxiousness.

"Selling eternal life is an unbeatable business, with no customers ever asking for their money back after the goods are not delivered." ~ Victor J. Stenger

"Businesses may come and go, but religion will last forever, for in no other endeavor does the consumer blame himself for product failure."  ~ Harvard Lamphoon, "Doon" (paraphrase)

Answer 4

I don't think they hate me. But the simple fact that atheists are currently the most distrusted group of people in America means they don't exactly care for me, either.

I don't think it's all about rules and restrictions. I think it's about a lot of really widespread and really untenable claims about the nature of reality.

And I think they're always trying to convert me because, well, they =are=. Anytime a Christian discovers that I'm an atheist I'm immediately met by the sight of a Bible, trebucheting through the air into my face. It's rather annoying, to be honest.

Answer 5

I don't know... I call this pretty darned hateful:

So is spreading lies about other faiths and belief systems, which unfortunately a fair number of Christians seem determined to do. Not to mention trying to push their religion into government so that their rules and their points of view become law.

You'll pardon the rest of us if we feel a little bit uneasy about that, won't you?

Now, to take your points in order...

1) You are generalizing, and very inaccurately. I do not believe that all Christians hate me. However, I HAVE received death threats from so-called Christians who have found out that I am a Wiccan.

2) Really? My religion is also about my relationship and walk with my God and Goddess. Funny how we seem to have something in common there... once you start realizing that people of other faiths have just as deep and profound a relationship with their Deities as you do with yours, you'll be in a better position to engage in mutually enlightening dialogue.

3) Er... you just DID state that you are "spreading the good news" and "trying to help you"... by CONVERTING us. Therefore, by definition, you ARE trying to convert us.

Answer 6

Firstly you dont believe what we believe?So you dont believe in G-d and the lord.You dont believe in heaven?You dont believe that you should honour G-d all the days of your life.I am sick of non jews saying that they dont believe in the same things we do.Because reallistically those who say "you believe in a different g-d" then they are pagans because they believe in seperate Gods per religion.In judaism we believe that there is one G-d the almighty one G-d.The only thing different per religion is that we call him by different names.Muslims=Allah = G-d in Arabic Christians=G-d Judaism=Hashem=G-d in Hebrew.

Secondly,Religion is about rules.Acually more rules that restrictions.Because Religion is supposed to be followed but also enjoyed

Third and lastly,They are trying to convert us jews.But how do you happen to call Jesus G-d.G-d is G-d.G-d isnt a person.So you christians are pagans because you worship a person.Yes really you are worshipping a dead person.When you are suppose to praise G-d and G-d only.

Answer 7

I don't think Christians hate me, but in general I don't like to hang out with people who feel superior to me. I would rather be with people who think as I do because then I know they're not behind their eyes thinking, "you poor misguided thing..." I'm sorry, but I find that really arrogant.

Clearly it IS about rules and restrictions. Otherwise you wouldn't have Christian opposition to gay marriage and freedom of choice for women. You wouldn't have pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions and politicians saying that only abstinence should be taught in schools, as if condoms were worse than AIDS.

Christians may not try to convert me, but they want their religious beliefs to become my laws. On a practical level, that equals me having to behave like a Christian even if I'm not one. I don't see how this is confusing--they want power in THIS life, and that is irritating to those who don't believe as they do.

There's no reason why we can't live peacefully, you are right about that. But I am not the one trying to legislate my daily routines and priorities on the rest of the country. I have no problem letting Christians choose freely to live according to their principles, as long as they leave me free to live according to mine.

Answer 8

HITAN ( Democracy in Heaven )
--goal is to overthrow the CREATOR and install democracy in Heaven

The scriptures are to help you make right choices,keep you safe and make your walk w/ God stronger; sounds good but really look at the bible now with OPEN eyes.

1) the flood -- wipe out mankind ( est. 50,000 dead )except for roughly 10 people
2) Sodom and Gomorrah -- made it rain sulfur and fire upon the cities ( est. 5,000 dead )
3) death -- God has allow mankind to continue to suffer and die from the beginning ( est. 6,000,000,000 dead )
and that is only of some of the crimes that the bible details.
The Creator is no better than Saddam, Hitler, it was Lucifer who gave mankind freedom from this dictator.

Answer 9

You go girl! Keep on spreading the good news! You've got it right though, only the Spirit can convict someone to place their trust of salvation in Jesus Christ, it's only our job to lay the foundation, and let God build the house, so to speak. =)

Answer 10

I never thought all Christians hated me....

Because one of the first things people say when preaching is if you don't believe your going to go to hell.

Lol not all but a lot are always trying to force it down my throat preach to other Christians do you do everything the bible says?
