Why do Christians always insult people by calling them Antichrist?

Question

And why are Liberals always a target?

Answer 1

well if you are against him than you are anti???? not THE antichrist.....and how many christians would just randomly call someone that?? not a true christian would judge, they would help you find the truth for yourself...we know the antichrist will be an horrible person....who would just accuse you of that???

Answer 2

most people on the crazy end of the spectrum of christianity are conservatives. and they like to name call because they can't come up with a truly good comeback wheras liberals are more creative and can come up with names without the use of a book that isn't even proven true. so they see the word antichrist and there small minds store that information so that when they need to insult someone they can think of that and use it.
in case your wondering i don't like conservatives or crazy religious people. im afriad to go in churches cuz i might get holy water thrown on me and my skin will melt.

Answer 3

You are obviously making a generalization. True Christians act as Jesus did with love for all people regardless of whether love is returned. Liberal is also a generalization of the majority of politicians with their campaign "promises" in an effort to garner votes. Note that I used the terms majority and true in my explanation of your generalizations. The reasoning is that not all Christians can be considered true or all politicians considered liberal or for that matter conservative. I've almost always (because none of us are perfect) utilized a primary rule: Never stereotype anyone or anything for it is the first step of blatant bigotry.

Answer 4

I am a liberal and a Christian and I have never called anyone the AntiChrist
Becareful using the word always

Answer 5

well, not all Christians do that but the ones that do have that simple minded either/or, us versus them, "with me or against me" mentality. anyone who isn't Christian (their kind of Christian) is anti-Christ.

i think Fundy Christians hate liberals so much because philosophically liberals are more Jesus-like in their desires for a compassionate government. you know, health care for kids, no wars, feed and house the poor ... that kind of thing. Fundy Christians supposedly worship the most famous hippy that ever lived but they just can't bring their selfish selves to really practice what he preached. Liberals make the Fundies feel uncomfortable with themselves.

Answer 6

They do? They are? I must have missed something.
The only person I know of being called Antichrist is Marilyn Manson, and he calls himself that; I haven't heard any Christians calling him that.

Answer 7

If you are not Pro Christ you are Anti Christ.
That is the concept of saying ANTI CHRIST.
Some of them just want to insult you however... So yeah, you kinda wonder if they themselves are ANTI CHRIST.

This is because one of the biggest reasons for people rejecting Christianity is because of people who claim to be Christians.

So do you wonder if they are doing it on purpose to turn you away from Christianity?

Remind you this..

Don't judge christianity because of people who claim to be christians, just the same as you shouldn't judge atheism because of people who claim to be atheists,
dont judge islam because of people who claim to be muslims.
dont judge buddhism because of people who claim to be buddhists.


You can think of reasons why.

Kinda like. if a faith teaches to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
and they go around killing their enemies
you kinda figure either they are fake, or illiterate and cant read.

Answer 8

Because the Liberals are the Anti-Christs in the world. That is why Christians insult them.

Answer 9

Because many christians just dont know how to be REAL christians

Answer 10

No true Christian would call anyone an Anti-christ. This is certainly not pleasing to God, and if so, they will have to answer for it.
