Do Christians try to make people think they have a monopoly on Love ?

Question

As if nobody can love unless they are a Christian and yet Christians have spread more hate through history than anyone else.

.

Answer 1

We don't try to make people think they can't love without being a Christian. Man, why do atheists have such a strong problem with Christians. If you're not going to budge on your views why argue with us all the time, we're not going to budge either. Why do you care at this point? How have we spread hate? When are atheists gonna realize Christians aren't claiming to be holy creatures above everyone and who don't make mistakes. We're not hypocrites either. We're only human, we make mistakes. God takes us for who we are, He knows were not perfect and not worthy, He knows were gonna turn right back around and do the same sin. You don't have to be boring to be a Christian, you can still go clubbing and get drunk. How is this ungodly whatsoever? What do you want? For us to be Jesus Himself? If anyone were to say that to be a Christian you have to be perfect, they are lying to you in your face. All the atheist's claims on how God's miracles are impossible. When are you gonna see that God can do whatever the heck He wants, regardless of scientific law. Just because you can't see something with your own eyes doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's called FAITH! Whatever. No ten points for me. who cares! I'm tired of all this crap atheists come up with in their free time of THEIR hatred towards Christians. Give me all the thumbs down you want.

Answer 2

mono : In your assumption that "Christians" have spread more hate than "anyone else", illustrates the fact, that you are very presumptuous and lack education. Hitler was NOT a Christian, Stalin was not a Christian, Pol Pot (of "Killing Fields" fame) was not a Christian and any other ruthless mass-butchering were not works of Christians. Why? Because Christians do not go around spewing "hate" nor murder ( only those, who say they are but deny the power of their existence [frauds]. The "monopoly" on love can be explained appropriately this way. LOVE has many faces in the humanistic sphere. Love is characterized in these forms. Love of people = "philos" (from where we get "philadelphia" love), Love of your mate or wife = "eros" (a sexual-type love common to the world around us all), Love of the self = "stergos"( self-centered love or a love of the self ) and finally, Love of or for God & neighbour = "agape" (an out-going love, the love that makes this world a better place to live in). You see; we do not have the "corner" or "monopoly" on love. If anything there, pal, your accussing attitude and conjecture of us spreading "hate" is more suited towards yourself. What is REALLY wrong in YOUR life that you lash out at others?

Answer 3

I'm pretty certain no one has a monopoly on ANY human emotion, Christian or otherwise. We feel our emotions based on how they're affecting us at a given moment in time.

Answer 4

Oh dear, sweeping generalization number two hundred and seventy three. No, Christians do not think they have a monopoly on love. No, we don't spread hate.

Answer 5

I have had quite a few tell me that any love I have ever felt in my life, was false, because I'm an atheist.

I think that's a rather vivid portrait of why such religions are so dangerous.

Answer 6

They do have a way of trying to convince you that your love is inferior to theirs.

Answer 7

Yep, and morals and 'purpose in life' and happiness!! I could go on . . .

Answer 8

Yes. They do alot of that kind of thing.
