Why is there so much hate against christians?

Question

So many christains are rejected and they are treated like worthless humans of society on this site. Why is there so much hate? Is it because:

1.)They don't like thier religion?
2.)They think that using Jesus makes the entire answer wrong even in phsycology
3.)They think that there is no god?

Whatever it could be. I don't get it. Christians teach you to be kind nice people but why do some people look past that and just deny the idea of god. I do believe some christains go over the edge by trying to bring jesus to the world, I also believe you should believe what you want. But considering an entire religion to be nutcased morons is just wrong. Why do people do it?

Okay, I'm christain. I don't hate athiests. It just pisses me off when they just start ******* making fun of my belief but I also fin it wrong when christains say that athiests are terrible people!

John 15:20
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Jesus told us this would happen. There is no way to get out of it. It is their father that is in them that causes them to do it.




Matthew 5:10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Answer 2

Hate is a relative term and has to be 'felt' to exist. I do not consider much of the disparaging remarks in this forum to be a direction of hate towards me.

Those who are without religion may treat me with contempt but I know who I am where I've been -- and where I'm going such that it does not concern me.

I agree that there is a certain overly bonvivant aspect to some Christians trying to make a point of faith in these threads.

However, as a Christian ours is only to plant a seed and move on. Changing the world is not in our purview -- though I also know that there are fundamentalist sects who seek to impose their spiritual will on others regardless of what the scriptures would indicate is proper.

As a Christian I don't care if a person thinks I'm a 'nutcase' or a 'moron' or anything else for that matter. I will state my opinion and move on and therein is where the hackles get raised.

A person who dishes it out has to be able to take it as well and the venomous attacks upon my person fall very short of my response when the holy Spirit gives me the words I need to state my case.

I have been blessed with the ability to give notice to the spiteful and respite to the down trodden -- so a person should think twice before calling me out to do ideological battle in this place because I am protected by the gospel armor and cannot be touched for that reason.

I think the word "hate" is a little strong, the Muslims hate Christians based on religous differences. I personaly dislike the broad, unthought out responces that most (not all) Christians give to answers; they simply spout back what they have been told over the years without truely researching or exploring other points of view.

Jesus was a great teacher and he was the only true Christian, he accepted everyone regardless of the clothes they wore one sunday or any religous background. The general masses however label non-followers (some of their own as well) as hell worthy without realizing that the true god is the only entity capable of judgement. No one enjoys being talked down to or judged, that's basic human emotion, yet not being in the same denomination or Christian Cult (look the word "cult" up in the dictionary- it is appropiate!) brings a sence of wrong doing over pathetic human details.

I'm sure that in this age of "me-me-me & oh yeah-me," many people simply don't like being told what is right and wrong or what they need to do. The Christian regulations where set-up in different time peiriods when life was different. Currenty we deal with the sacrety of marriage but most marriages were arranged bussiness deals inthe past! The Christian faith does have good teaching to keep people leading healthy "moral" lives (as do most religons), the teaching practices need to be revamped. The last two Popes have been working on crossing the boundaries of other faiths.

I don't think that disliking the blanket truths spewed from the laymen mouths means that a person fails to believe in a higher power. Athiesm and Satanism in my book are the same page, simply different side (now calm down folks - nothing personal) because of the mistrust of the church body, the constant prayers for the end of the world, threats of burning sulfer, and the odd focus on a materialistic afterlife (heven is full of mansions and streets of gold? sorry those are mistranslationed!) people do not want to be associated with the political crap from the pulpit or simply be different from their up-bringing.

All Christians need to practice what their teacher taught:
respect for ALL people and cultures
Love and peace (not war!)
the Kingdom of Heven is within each of us (now not later)

Focus on Jesus' teaching/life more than his death (how morbid is it to go the a building and have the guilt of a murder pushed down your throat every morning?)

Well, I could go on, but I need more coffee. Take my opinions for what they are - different than some of yours!

Answer 4

well you have to stand back and look at it from a Jewish and Muslim point of view now. i am Jewish and i really get tired of Christians thinking they are all that and a bag of chips. i mean common how many Jews and Muslims do you see knocking on people's doors insisting you get to know Jesus. how many of Jews and Muslims do you see on TV preaching their religion is the only way and if you do not convert you are going to hell. how would you feel if i came to you and said "hey christian person you are not worthy of going to heaven because you are not a Jew..you would be offended and hurt i am sure..now lets go back in time shall we..remember long long ago when christian religion was starting out and they felt everybody and their brother should be christian. when people said no thanks i like being a Jew/Muslim or pagan, then the Christians said nope wrong answer and killed them..well maybe Christians should get off their high horse and learn they are not the only ones who are loved by God and they wont be the only ones in the world to come
thank you and have a nice day

Answer 5

Lots of misconceptions about Christianity and most people don't take the time to get the facts. A lot of Bible critics out there who haven't read the Bible.

To the Christian, Jesus is loving, kind, and most of all forgiving. Most people don't want to deal with the fact they are sinners and therefore need a Savior.

Think of how different the world would be if we could just get one of the 10 commandments correct.

Answer 6

"Christians teach you to be kind nice people .."

Yes, I know some Christians like this but I know as many or more that I would describe the exact opposite way. I don't hate Christians and I don't assume they are all the same. I see more hate and narrow minded smallness from them though than any other group on here. I don't see the kind of transcendent compassion and love that they claim their beliefs support coming from the majority of them. Many are so caught up in taking literally every word in their ancient text that they have missed any of the more universal messages of acceptance and love and spiritual seeking. These types of Christians are so caught up in they have the one truth they refuse to grow or learn and in a way seem spiritually dead to me. I don't hate them but I do disagree with their beliefs and judgment and I oppose their right to impose their faith based beliefs on others.

Answer 7

For me, "hate" is the wrong word, too extreme. I would use the word "distaste." Let me explain. It is not a distaste for christians in particular, it is a distaste for the entire organized religion. I am fed up with stuff like taking advantage of the gullibility of children to indoctrinate your beliefs into them before they are old enough to decide for themselves. That I think is something that even the most liberal denominations are guilty of. I chose not to complain about all the religious wars, sexual abuse and repression, treatment of women, etc. because that is all obvious. Most of all I have distaste for the way religion makes objective claims about subjective philosophical ideas and about things that just aren't true.

Answer 8

It isn't hate. It's probably more scorn than anything else. You need to understand, it's difficult for anyone to respect, or trust, anyone who'd venerate the creature you call God.

It isn't that you've invented the thing. You have everything in front of you, signed, sealed and delivered with the authority of tradition and history.

And the thing you've chosen to hold sacred, as defined in the Book you call holy, can easily be seen by a disinterested observer, as something not worthy of anything other than contempt.

Yet, you've consciously chosen to worship that being, imaginary, or not.

A lot of people who post here believe that choice on your part tells a lot about what kind of person you are.

Answer 9

I have known hundreds of Christians in my 23 years on this planet and I can tell you with certainty that as many as 85% of them do not teach you to be "nice people", but to be "nice to other Christians" (if that).
My roommate is Lutheran, amazing person, and has a live-and-let-live mindset.
On of my best friends is a Methodist, and looks down her nose at any non-Christian person, and thinks all us non-believers are going to hell. (sometimes wonder why I put up with her.....)

There are both types out there. Most I've met are of the bad, judgemental class. I keep my hopes up to meet more like my roommate, but it seems I'm continuously disappointed.

Answer 10

How do you misplace the 'h' in psychology so far back like that? That takes talent. Anyway, I don't hate all christians. Just the ones that are too closed-minded to even listen to differing viewpoints. It's just frustrating when repeated attempts to reason with people seem to go unnoticed or completely misunderstood. When I reach that point I usually turn to funny answers instead of serious ones to atleast make myself and some others laugh at bit.

Answer 11

Christians have it easy in the real world.


When you use something like the internet to filter out some of the dumbest of the dumb (you need at least *some* technologicaly savvy to be online), you get more atheists, meaning the internet is a safer place for us to vent than the real world is.
