I never met a good religious person that ever hurt anything do you agree?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

From a Christian perspective, everyone in the world is a sinner. So, if a sinner has lived any length of time, it's likely that they have hurt something or someone.

Most "religious persons" that would get respect from anyone--even Athiests, etc--are those people who attempt to do good and succeed more than most of us. Mother Theresa comes to mind.

A good story--one that is based on fact, though idealized--is the story of the author of the hymn "Amazing Grace". Look it up, and you'll find some good stories about a slave trader who repented and turned to Christianity, then penned Amazing Grace. All true, though most versions, are similar to the one in the box on the linked page.

I think the story of John Newton is more in line with many "good religious persons" than the idea that they have never hurt anything.

Answer 3

Such statement is entirely ridiculous. Just because a person is religious won't hurt others feeling. Being religious doesn't change the emotions of a person. Religious persons are still human. Even the His Holiness hurt others feeling especially if has release an order in the Church where many do not subscribed to his idea.

Answer 4

The difference is between religion (any sort) or true Christianity. Read this and decide who was the religious party and who was the good Christian/s. pay attention to the quote in context -"I am a Christian, and there is no evil done amongst us"
----
"But the whole fury of the mob, the governor, and the soldiers particularly fell on Sanctus, a deacon from Vienne; Maturus, a recent convert yet a noble combatant; Attalus, a native of Pergamus, where he had always been a Pillar and foundation of the church; and on Blandina, through whom Christ showed that the things that to men appear vile and deformed and contemptible are with God of great glory, on account of love to Him,-a love which is not a mere boastful appearance, but shows itself in the power which it exercises over the life. We were all afraid, especially her earthly mistress, who was herself one of the combatants among the Witnesses, that she would not be able to make a bold confession on account of the weakness of her body. But, Blandina was filled with such power, that those who tortured her one after the other in every way from morning till evening were wearied and tired. They admitted they were baffled. They had no other torture they could apply to her. They were astonished that she remained alive. Her whole body was torn and opened up. They said that even one of the forms of torture employed was enough to have destroyed her life, not to mention so many excruciating punishments. But the blessed woman, like a noble athlete, renewed her strength in her confession. Her declaration, "I am a Christian, and there is no evil done amongst us," brought her refreshment, rest, and insensibility to all the sufferings inflicted on her."

Answer 5

no....i'm a christian , and i'll be the first to admit that i'm not perfect, i sin and everyone else does as well. it doesn't matter who you are, what religion you follow or don't follow, how nice you are, you have hurt someone before. you have done it on purpose, and you have done it unintentionally. thats life, we all fall short of the glory of god, we all need a savior. all we can do is have faith and accept Jesus as our savior. and try our best to not hurt others, but it's going to happen. and anybody who claims otherwise is a liar. i believe it's some kind of stereotype that good religious people are supposed to be perfect, or that they think they are perfect. the only thing i think that i have that non-christians have, is gods forgiveness, because i asked for it. and if i'm forgiven then i can count on spending eternity in heaven.

Answer 6

Actually, I've met quite a few good religious people who became religious because they sa the pain that they had caused in the world.
Additionally, I have known "good religious" people who have actually used their beliefs to justify hurting others.

Answer 7

Yes, I have. I have met know-it-all religious people who have turned more people off religion than anything else could. The religious should use their heads before getting all self-righteous and trying to convert others to their particular faith because they may be doing more harm than good and turn people away from God forever.
.

Answer 8

Not always because I am a some-what religious person and i have hurt somethings(not big or bad things) so I guess it depends on what religion and how they act.

Answer 9

The problem with your question is that it is circular. A religious person may hurt something (such as a tall building), which means that he is not good, but it does not mean that he is not religious.

Answer 10

No I do not agree, the question should be never wilfullly hurt someone.

Answer 11

Hey that first guy is spam..grrr...most people these days try and avoid hurting people..so I agree..However in the past a lot of injustices were done to many in the name of various religions..not just Christianity or Islam..but that is the past.
