Question for non-Christians?

Question

What is your #1 objection to Christianity and what can be done to rectify it??

Answer 1

Glad you asked. My objection is the Cliche people. I ask "Why doesn't god respond to my prayers?" and some religious nut tells me "he's just telling u to be patient!" you know what, a MILK JUG will tell me the same thing, because gods so called message of "be patient" is just no response at all. Stop giving phony answers and face reality.

Answer 2

My only objection to any religion really is that they all think they have the right to mock what others believe. I really do feel that religion is a personal choice, what suits you, what answers your questions, what gives you your hope for the future, but Christianity has never answered my questions, I have never felt that God was listening when I prayed, I never had that feeling that anyone was actually there (and I have prayed with ministers from various branches of Christianity including born again Christians) If someone is a true Christian they would not feel the need to put down the beliefs of others, they would simply accept that not everyone wants to believe or follow that religion and worry about their own salvation instead of insulting other people. If there was a Jesus i do not think he would have behaved that way, surely people who profess to follow Christ should try to behave in the same way that he did? I also cannot stand the hypocrisy, ministers standing there telling people what is right or wrong, and what they can and cannot do, then behaving in totally the opposite way themselves behind closed doors. As for rectifying it, well, give me answers, show me proof and I will believe it.

Answer 3

My objection is to religion as a whole.

Basically - and I keep saying this - religion is about money and power.

I find the whole organised religion thing quite immoral in the sense that the people at the top use a series of poclaimations to enslave the minds of thousands. Then use these numbers to apply political or social pressure against other groups and raise funds.

Appearing to give an explanation for life is what keeps the people coming but as long as the people come, religion will use those people to its own ends. Try and think of a single major religion on earth that isn't MAJORLY involved in politics, lobbying and have massive investments which it uses to meet those ends.

The fact that they all assume they occupy the high moral ground just smacks of arrogance, ignorance and turns me off completely.

Religion may profess to be good.. but really its completely corrupt.

Answer 4

The whole belief system is simply one that is unbelievable to me.

I don't consider my beliefs as anything that needs to be "rectified". In fact, one of my objections, (out of many) is the fact that believers treat us as something that needs to rectified.

Answer 5

Not much to rectify. The religion demands that followers "share" and convert others. I don't want to be converted. I appreciate the concern but I don't believe in the Bible, God or Jesus as savior.

Answer 6

The premise of Christianity is absurd. The only way to rectify that is to change the nature of the universe.

Answer 7

my No. 1 objection is your presumption that Christianity is true at any cost, even at the cost of common sense. You can come out of that presumption and study all other religions with the open heart to rectify this problem.

Answer 8

It has no Goddess. Females become second class and yet in my experience they have the spiritual power. It won't be rectified.

Answer 9

if god is all knowing and all powerful why does he have such low self esteem? I mean ppl are suppoed to praise him all the time, they cant deny him or his feeligns will get hurt? im sorry, an all knowing all powerful god need to request this from his creations, I am a mother and i gave birth to my child and I dont request such things from him, and im imperfect (arnt I). it just doesnt make sense, i believe man made up god, there is a natural human desire to want to believe that there is something higher tha themselves. maybe the universe in its self. or amybe "god" is just the collective unconscience of all people well the good thoughts. and the "devil" is the collective unconscience of all bad thoughts?..... who knws, I try not to bother myself with worring if I am going to hell or whatever, I know i am a good person and if there is a god they know what is truly in someones heart.

Answer 10

I don't have any objection to it, I just have my own beliefs and so nothing needs to be done, thank you.
