Hosestly tell me what bothers you about Christianity? Is it Christ, his teachings or the Christians?

Answer 1

The Christians.

Christ has been dead a LONG time, so he couldn't bother me at all. His teachings of course I could simply ignore. But the Christians' bad behavior is impossible to ignore, particularly given the power they have.

Answer 2

It's none of the above. What bothers me the most about Christianity is the fact that there are those that choose that like to sit on the side lines and find something to talk about for instance, being judgmental towards a relligion that the individual has not even tried to gain an understanding of. Instead people choose to blast what they don't understand, I believe that it's petty.
As a child my mom use to put different types of food on my plate and most of the time "IF" I had never tried it before and I didn't like the way that it looked I would say it was nasty and I didn't want any. My mother would always say, "how can you say you don't like it if you've never tried it, at least try it first.
I would much rather believe NOW in Jesus Christ as my Savior and find out later that He was not real or He was a hoax then to not believe and find out that He and the Father does truely exist.

Answer 3

The Christians

Answer 4

Nominally I am a Christian, at least that was how I was brought up, but all I see from every organised religion is hypocrisy and greed.

Having been brought up in Glasgow where it wasn't what religion but which branch that mattered I am somewhat cynical.

I look at the Catholic faith and all I see is a bunch of people who worship a man as god, how does that fit with the 10 commandments.

I look at the protestants, who told me I could not have my child christened because I worked on Sundays and couldn't attend church!

Now I do believe that there is a higher power, call him what you may, but I struggle with the concept of any one faith being the only true one.

If we were all able to pray to our god without all these religious leaders telling us what to do the world would be a better place.

When I pray I don't feel the need to be in a church. God can see what is in my heart wherever I am.

Answer 5

i think christianity is a fine religion, but ...........its very market savvy and its one fault is not seen by Christians.

i am a hindu - the religious fanatics amongst Hindu , Sikh, Jews, Muslim look like fanatics, by their appearance , their demeanour, by the 'tools' they carry.

However, Christian priests look dignified as they dress, speak and behave well. But they are as fanatical ( including the Pope and Mother Threresa ) as the assholes in the other religions. Today conversions into Christianity by money, wheeling dealing and mischief are splitting societies in the 3rd world.

All religious priests are generally lacking the ABC of humanity , ie tolerance - the quality that seperates man from animal. Christian priests are no exception

The Christian society of educated, tolerant, decent people shud try to stop this devious behaviour on part of their representatives

Answer 6

As a Christian, I feel Christians themselves have given it a bad name. There is lot of ignorance on the part of Christians as to what the Bible teaches about different beliefs. Of course, even if one teaches and preaches exactly what the Bible teaches there will be opponents since we are in a conflict between good and evil, between truth and error. So this is to be expected.

Answer 7

I dislike the behavior of many Christians over the ages, from those who proselytize to others to those who used their faith in trying to commit genocides against a variety of peoples.

I dislikethose Christians who like to use their faith as a weapon, who want respect, but refuse to give that same respect to others. I dislike the behavior of those Christians who call non-Christians "lost" or "blind," who cite Leviticus when preaching against homosexuals, but ignore Leviticus when asked about the kosher laws. I dislike the arrogant, smug attitude that some of some Christians call "love," but which is not love by any definition of the word. I dislike it when some Christians call people of other faiths "devils" or "Satan's children." I dislike it when Christians complain about the evils perpetrated by people of other faiths, while ignoring evils perpetrated by Christians, or, almost worse, when they sweep it under the "Oh, those weren't real Christians!" carpet.

Again.. I don't dislike Christians. I dislike the behavior of some of them. If they would just follow Jesus' commandments to love G-d and to love others, then there wouldn't be a problem, IMO.

Answer 8

Nothing bothers me about it. Christians are not perfect, they are forgiven. There is none perfect, so we will always sin because we are human. I do get aggravated with people who are irritated with Christianity and accuse people who are trying to live a Christian life of being hypocrites. ALL of us sin all the time, that is just the way it is.

Even Christians are sinners and they won't be offened that I said that, they already know it.

Answer 9

if anything bothered me, it would be the over zellious zealots.
the un-humble Christians that act as if they are better than others. Or the uber pushy type that feel that they have to force you to believe how they believe, or you are less of a person.

I think a true believer does not have to beat you with the bible, a true believers actions toward others should speak volumes, if a person believes the inner peace and happiness they possesses would make me want to "have what they are having". I would want to understand what gives them joy. a good friend always said to me " you can show me better than you can tell me"

Answer 10

Nothing bothers me about Christ or his teachings. It's the people who say they follow him and his teachings and act like they could care less outside of church.

However, that doesn't mean I'll stop believing him and try my best to follow how he taught us to live... and pray for those who are hypocritical.
