Hate Christians so much? Our Christian forefathers certainly built a great nation in which they can also worship Thier Gods or all Gods or absolutely no Gods with freedom. Some other places put you to death for such offences. Better yet, for even lesser crimes. It was no accident, you were born here or brought here It was Gods amazing Grace. God has personally Blessed each of you to live here. Even if you choose not to believe in him, he is still your creator. If you hate Christians soooo much, why wouldn't you strive to go live where your own beliefs are the dominate beliefs. The way immigrants strive to make it here for a better life. Instead of so arrogantly taking advantage of what so many of your despised christian ancestors fought and died for. No disrespect intended, just some thoughts. Usually, people who inherit thier fathers land, have more respect for thier fathers.

Doc..I know he was the King of the Jews. But dont Jews believe he was not the son of God? And i am sad to know u feel personally attacked by my question. it was not intended to be an attack but a legitimate question to my christian hating American brothers and sisters. If they have a right to feel that way, do i not have the right to question why? or you would prefer i just use my imagination like alot on here who speculate about others without knowing or trying to understand.

Well said!
If it weren't for Christians, who founded this great nation, it wouldn't be much today.
God Bless America! He sure has.

I don't hate christians at all. I my dislike their intolerance of my belief but that doesn't make me hate them.
Read up on history and our forefathers. Why do you feel you have the right to say go live somewhere else? This is not a christian nation and never was. There have always been people of other religions here. Uhh this was the Native Americans land. So if that is the case we should believe in the Great Spirit and their beliefs.

"The Narrow Way
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because[a] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Matthew 7:13-14 (New King James Version)
"The World’s Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me."
John 15:18-21 (New King James Version)
"26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all."
Luke 17:26-27 (New King James Version)

If they are hated I suppose its something to do with the reality that belief is not factual but just belief.
So when someone asks me what I believe and I explain to them what I understand today and explain it in ways they can argue over if they wish then we have some sort of open dialog about it. If they have a point which I feel is valid, I learn something I didn't know then I can adopt that idea if I should so choose.
Some Christians seem to think that their belief system covers everyone on the planet, if the other person is part of that faith or not, and that their beliefs are in someway factual or better for everyone regardless of what the other person feels is better for themselves.
This nonsense that if I don't believe in Jesus as my personal Saviour that I am going to be burned for all time in a lake of fire is just bullying.
If I get a billion people to say that if you don't worship my toenail cuttings you'll be damned forever and you and your loved ones will reside forever inside a festering pit of confusion and sorrow with no escape. How would it make you feel?
Not just that but if I refused to accept that even though reportedly that there are many paths to God, that I damn you if you don't toe the line adopt the same belief system.
'Oh you have the choice.' I hear them cry...
Some bloody choice, join us or perish!
Bollocks to that!
If someone dared threaten my kids with a fictional hell, as I was threatened as a kid by a goody two shoes, preachy, up tight, bastard of a woman or her church, they'll get my boot in their a.r.s.e.

One would do good to understand how the enemy operates, if the aggressor cannot overtake a nation, they think they can inbreed it. Or it would seem that if time is too short for that to happen, where is the line drawn between, it was asked ealier, from an illegal problem to an invasion? What is the guesstament now 11 million? Try to cross reference Rex84, there are things in place from this type of assult, or is there another reason noone is being rounded up yet?

Although I am not american I see what you are saying.
religion is a very sensitive topic because it is completely based on faith. faith is somethig that is very fragile and can become dented and bruised.
With something this sensitive it is in ones nature to become very defensive.
most christian based religions believe that you must spread the word of the lord, this in turn is actually forcing your belief on someone that has a completely different set of beliefs than you, in turn attacking their own faith.
I see some christians that have issues with Jehovah's witnesses because they come to your door and force their beliefs on them. All Christian based faiths have this in common. Look at the Christian Children's fund, they have gone to africa to feed the starved and teach their religion to people that have their own set of beliefs. these people have completely shattered faith and are so thankful for some help they believe that the people that are helping them are truly teaching them the path to christianity because it will make them a better person. the ideals are great but should we really be sacrificing someone's beliefs for those of our ancestors???????

We don't hate christians. Most people I know hate either the organized church, not the followers, or just hate the "bible thumper's" who constantly seem to think they are better just because they believe. One of my major problems with the christian religion: if you do not follow the religion, you are going to hell. And so, you get entire legions of christians who feel superior just for believing. And the trouble is, most christians feel so strongly about their faith, it gets hard to tell the difference sometimes.

I agree that there should be more respect and tolerance for one another (not just christians) but I would like to point out that America was NOT founded just by the pious christians in centuries past.
America's "pagan" natives provided 100% of the LAND.
Colonial Jews provided funds and soldiers for the revolution.
African "pagan" slaves, owned primarily by christians, supported the economy with their lifetime labors.
Let's respectfully acknowledge ALL the contributors to America's greatness. What do you think?

Most of the Founding Fathers were not what we would call Christians. Neither were they deists as many would say. They were more Unitarian, some very liberal some more conservative. Others were Episcopalian (Anglican) and in my eyes the Anglican church has always been spiritually dead.

Just think,,,,you could stand on any street corner and say what you just said....freedom.....we are blessed to be born in this country,,,no doubt about that...and we owe our troops...from all the wars,,,a great debt of gratitude. They paid for our liberty with their own blood....
As for the Christians haters,,,,let them hate us..they hated Jesus first so consider it a blessing when they lash out at you....it just makes my faith stronger. I know and feel sorry that that can't see what is so obvious to me. But remember,,God says, he will not strive with man forever,,so our time will come if we keep the faith to the end....

The Founders were NOT Christians...those who professed any belief at all were Deists.
Read the writings of Thomas Jefferson, Madison, Adams and others.
Try reading some REAL books for a change.
