Why do people hate Christians and Christianity?

Question

Using terms like mythology, superstition and related terms is hate so thanks for proving my point that you hate also another hate word xtians its Christians. I have not met one Christian who said lets go hate people. Your own fears interpret telling you the good news as hate

Wow Go Kings Go you prove the Christian hate. You Christian haters are proving my point keep it up. You Christian haters want us to keep our faith in God behind close doors NOT GONNA happen. Christ commands us to spread the good word if you choose to reject it thats your choice.

unsastified thank you you are the top answer so far and not only biblical but pure common sense too thank you

Can you Christian haters not use derogatory terms when speaking about faith or people of faith thanks

Answer 1

Depends on how you feel it?
Are you a christian??
Right in the bible, Jesus predict that people will hate him and his follower. That is why he is crucified on the cross.
I think people do not understand christians. What you do not understand, you fear, and what you fear, you hate.. You do not understand death, so you fear death, then you hate it.
Though certain altitudes of certain christians do contribute

Answer 2

Not all people hate Christians and/or Christianity, but a great deal of brutality and arrogance has accompanied the Christian faith. The Inquistions, the witch-burnings, the repression of women, the oppression of the Jews, and the arrogance of certain Christian's towards the opinions of others and their opinions (who frequently happened to be correct) have a left a sour taste for them and their religion. A lot of Christians are kind and loving people - many risked their lives (and some lost them) protecting the Jews during the Holocaust and did many other kind things throughout history. Its the bad things that tend to leave a lasting impression though. The fundamentalists are still denying that evolution happened, that the Earth is more than 6,000 years old (the 50,000 year old culture of the Australian Aborigine's proves this), or that their religion is based on a turn of events at the Council of Nicea 325 A.D. that "made" Jesus "divine" by a committee decision. I don't hate Christians or Christianity, but I'm puzzled why more people don't understand that history puts the very existence of their church into question. It isn't just Christians that can be arrogant - this is human nature and is not exclusive to Christians - I've seen it from other people of other faiths as well.

Answer 3

I feel a lot of the conflicts against Christians has to do with the hypocrisies that they so loosely live under. This includes so much prejudging/ judging inside their own churches. I had long hair and a beard when I was in my early twenties, and had just moved to Florida, when I entered 2-3 different churches, I was asked to leave for my clothes were tattered and they looked at me as a thief. I looked at the pic of Jesus in the vestibule and asked, "I don't look much different than him. Is he welcome?" after which I walked away.
The Old Testament is my guide, not the new. Even Muslim is based on the old, where Jesus is recognised as a great teacher as is Mohamed. People talk about all the extremest, Look into history and you will see that Christians killed in the name of God the same as others have that misunderstand the true scriptures or that try to hide allot of the original texts from us such as the Vatican. This happened in the days of Constantine, when they decided what was to be unified text. If it is part of the original texts , why hide it and tell us we don't need it.
I love God and respect all our prophets. The Bible does not end at Revelations' and no prophets in over 2000 years? If that is the case, Christianity died then also. I don't care what you believe as long as God is first and you don't hate or hurt one another. I give you all my prayer of hope and love.

Answer 4

Where does all this "Christian hate" come from. God may have told someone to spread the word so to speak, but surely God doesn't tell you to impose yourself on people to the extent that you are an annoyance.
I'm not a believer as such but I don't hate anyone. Hate is destructive. I have Christian friends and I have muslim friends. They know I don't believe in their faiths but it makes no difference. If you now think I'm a Christian hater for saying this then there is hate in your heart to.
We should all live in harmony

Answer 5

I haven't heard this one yet. I'm Christian, but i think it depends just because there are so many religions and so many people think there religion is right. I personally think that Christianity is the closest to the truth. But many people might say that about their own religion. I've also noticed that alot of some of the christian churches are really relaxed. At least in CA. I like it though, because we go to church in whatever we want, but nothing you would wear to the club or to the beach. Because we arn't judged by god, by how we dress. And the services sometimes have rock in it, or just we all have a good time. Maybe if its focased on my church and they say that they hate Christians, because we arn't respectful, and we don't honor god. Which is very untrue, because I think Christians are extremely close to god. I wish i could really tell you why people hate Christians, but I'm not to sure.

Answer 6

Oh, plenty of reasons, dude. Look at history. Crusades, hacking and slaying anybody different, forcibly converting Africans and native Americans, and THEN, even for the people already in the religion, restricting them with unrealistic expectations of how humans should behave, hanging and burning them in Catholic Inquisitions, Protestants then arise and keep Catholics from owning land, and everywhere restricting people to really, really, guilt-ridden and BAD sexuality.

It was the fact that religion WEAKENED in Europe, the Catholics and the Protestants drawing too much of each other's blood, that led others to say hang it all and we want progress on HUMAN principles, hence the Enlightenment. They legislated religion out of government, recognizing that a) there were too many competing kinds to have any peace if one faction was government-backed, and b) the religious generally mess up anything they do since they are informed by unreal, imaginary things rather than dealing with the concrete. This happened nowhere else; everywhere else there was ONE religion in firm control of its tribe and so no progress could happen.

And now, the ultimate insult, the Christians whine for the civil rights they denied everybody else for centuries, and that was only set up by secular governments.

If I managed to make you see what you Christians have wrought, if I could somehow reach into your mind and give you PERSPECTIVE, if I gave you a REAL accounting of what was going on, you would be so ashamed you would put your whole family in a gas-chamber and turn on the gas valve yourself!

Answer 7

Hi I am hoping hate is the wrong word yet I can relate to dislike. I have experienced these people pushing religion and their beliefs onto others, its NOT ON.
Secondly you get the ones who attend church regularly and think they are above everyone often they are the less desirable members of the community and breaking the law isnt a bother to them at all.
May I make it quite clear I am not refering to everyone as there are some lovely religious people.
Lastly there are the christians who dont go to church who dont advertise they are christians and who live a decent law abiding lifestyle as do many heathens.
I myself believe in each to his own however I do detest the ones who constantly speak of the lord and burst into song at the most inappropriate times expecting us to join in they spoil my view.

Answer 8

unsatisfied is well on target.
When we know not of things and seek as in darkness we fear the unknown yet to find it is to see the light.

many who would rather stay in the dark and not ask where, why , who and how, will never know as they are the dark and have never opened their eyes.

But when we face what we can not control and have no options to deal with this like death of a loved one or a lost love or faced with what ever life will not can place before us. Than we are forced to seek and ask. But those that never ask will never live here or after. As they have no soul and b this I mean in many ways. What can this person bring to a relationship with another if they do not look with in themselves as whole. Even as we can never be but yet seek to be. At least some do and those that do not will never even find peace with in them self.

Answer 9

I agree, and just because some christians try and shove it down your throat does not mean all of them do. (that was directed to everyone else)

I have learned to be humble and not forcefull I have never damned and athiest to hell or called them satans people, the only thing I have done for those athiest is pray for them.

I think that the people who hate christians are cowards, they know that christians will not blow up biuldings ectr...But muslims will that is why most athiest are bashing the bible and "respecting" the muslims...

Answer 10

In my experience the only hatred for Christianity comes from within the different sects.

As an atheist I have never hated anyone or anything in my life.

EDIT:

"Using terms like mythology, superstition and related terms is hate"

Er no it isn't would you not use the same terms about astrology, palmistry, fairies or the gods of ancient Greece and Rome (choose your particular one from the list), if its not hate for you then why is it hate for anyone?

Answer 11

Look up Fred Phelps.

Using terms like mythology and superstition is certainly less hateful than using terms like "eternal damnation" or "residing in hellfire" or "minions of Satan". Any Christian tells another that they are going to hell is guilty of much more terrible hate speech than the terms you just complained about.
