Why is it ok for Iraqis to treat us badly and be in instant paradise for their martyrdom?
Every religion has the martyr-right wing members who believe that fighting, blowing up, killing is demanded by their Supreme Being.
I, as a Christian, stand here to tell you that most of us are not like that. I don't treat anyone badly. Anytime something is pointed out that I didn't do right or I harmed someone else, I make amends. Yes, I expect a happy afterlife.
You must also realize that some people call themselves Christians or Jews or Muslims just in order to justify their crazy violent actions. If they become a Christian and go bomb a synagogue, others may think that the bombers are spiritual and worthy of God's reward, but God isn't really a part of this at all. These men just wants any excuse to destroy and kill.
We all have to stand with our conscience, and read our sacred writings, and find out for ourselves what God is doing right now.

Actually, it's NOT okay for Christians to treat ANYONE badly. Christ has commanded us to love our neighbors as ourselves, but Christians are human, so it's inevitable that we'll slip every now and then. The important thing is that we repent and ask forgiveness from those we've wronged. God knows the hearts of everyone and who isn't and isn't sincere, and He's the ONLY one who can decide who goes to Heaven.

It is not ok at ALL for Christian's (or anyone of any faith) to treat anyone badly!! If they are a true Christian they will seek redemption and turn away from the sinful behavior. Upon seeking forgiveness they have faith Jesus died for their sins and that their sins, along with any other persons who believe, are washed away by the blood that He shed. Therefore, their slate is wiped clean and they will receive the gift of heaven.

It's not. It's wrong.
Treating people badly in any sense is WRONG.
Though, not all Christians are this way. Just some. And in their minds they are doing the right thing. Just try to have some understanding TOWARDS them, not with what they believe, just towards them. I'm sure that everyone in this category has the best intentions.

Christians believe that it is what they BELIEVE that gets them in. Not what they do.
They tell you all the time that many "good decent" people will be in hell.
Therefore their priority is NOT on being "good and decent" but having faith in Jesus and their various biblical doctrines.
So if they are obnoxious or inconsiderate or even cruel, they can still get into heaven because their sins are covered.

It is not OK for anyone to treat anyone badly. If someone is truly a Christian they do not hate or treat anyone badly. If they profess to be a Christian and do behaviors like this, they are either lying, or they are sadly unaware of what a true Christian is.

Some people will use their "belief" in Christianity or other religious group to justify hateful acts. This is unfortunate for us all. The Christian bible says that Jesus died for sins and they're allowed to make mistakes. I'm inclined to believe that if one commits the same sin over and over with no remorse and continues to pray for forgiveness that G-d can see that and will punish the individual.

Insincere repentance is ignored. A heart that loves God won't disobey and flacidly ask for forgiveness. If the Lord comfirms that individual into Heaven, who am I to say it was unrighteous? God knows more than our fleshy minds comprehend.

Anyone who treats others badly is suffering and will not experience heaven which is here on earth.

its not ok for christians to treat people bad, just like its not right for buddist, or any regilion. many Christians think they can do whatever they like and just ask for the Lord's forgiveness and all is right with the world. But there in for quite a shock when they find out , it don't work that way.
