Atheists, is it wrong to hate Christians?

Question

Why does my Christian community hate me so much? I think we all know that. Is it wrong to hate them for hating me? Clarification: I do not hate all Christians! Just the ones in my community.

Answer 1

alright dude we're on the same boat. im atheist as well and i dont like christians in my community... i dont blame u for hating them. they tend to get very nerve-wracking

Answer 2

it is interesting to see where atheists try to get their moral compass from ...
If there are standards of good and bad ethics where do these judgements come from?

If their is no creator where does goodness or evil come from ...? Randomness?

does your behavior matter if you will not be judged for it ?

Is Karma divinely inspired ....
Do you reap what you sow ?

As for hating anyone .........why sow seeds in that ground ?
I would say your heart is hinting and wispering to you that there might be a d ivine Creator ....Standards have been set ....their is a right and a wrong .....read the proverbs you will find your answer there ....

I am a christian .....just a forgiven sinner grateful that God loved me enough to break through my darkness and give me a new life through Jesus His son...He loves you too .and will do the same for you .....

hint: Seek Him with the eyes of your heart .

Answer 3

I wouldn't say it's 'wrong' to hate someone for hating you, but it's not very clever. I mean, if you hate them for hating you, then your hatred could be used as an excuse for theirs.

Incidentally, I'm quite sure Jesus covered that concept in some depth. It's a pity those Christians don't actually follow Jesus' teachings, because apart from the bullshit about god some of it's pretty good.

Answer 4

Hating a Christian is like hating any other person.
Don't worry about it.

And that, dear, is coming from a Christian. :P

Ultimately we're just people. And like any other society, some of us are awesome and some of us suck.
Feel free to hate the ones that suck. Because even I do. ;)

Answer 5

"If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.

Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view.

Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.

Or yet if I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be.

I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you.

I may be your spouse, your parent, your offspring, your friend, or your colleague. If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs, or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right -- for me. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me you might come to prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences."

Answer 6

Hate is a pretty strong emotion. Save it for those who have really wronged you instead of spreading it out over all those who don't think like you.

Answer 7

I don't hate anyone. Don't waste your time on hate. Get back at them by living a good life.

Answer 8

im catholic and some christians i believe are really hypocritical...even though you dont believe in it, i think only God can judge and we should not hate anyone. not all christians are hateful (and inherently, they shouldnt be), so im sorry they are like that where you live.

also, like the guy above said, hate the sin, not the sinner.

Answer 9

maximum non secular zealots are non secular bigots. Being "between the chosen", or believing to be of such, might desire to hold approximately behaviour that berates mutually as protecting itself as subject. enable's see: God asks no person to help Him placed out the sunlight each and each morning, or manage the stars at evening, or open the spigots for rainfall. Neither does God % all and sundry's help in telling approximately Him. If He made me he might desire to talk to me in basic terms as properly as to all and sundry else. somewhat probably he listens to all this, shakes His head and sighs while many % to "combat" in His call and for His sake, His silence somewhat probably being a noisy "close up!" that no you could hear for each and all of the arguing. How do i know this? i don't, not for particular, yet i've got faith it, and with as a lot evidence as all and sundry who believes in any different case.

Answer 10

It is wrong to hate anyone. Jesus said Love your Neighbor as I have loved you. It is human nature to hate people who hurt us, but, try praying for them instead of hating them.
