Why do you dislike or hate Christians?

Christianity is not a religion...It's a belief!

I understand.

Thank you.

Oh ok if it comes from the heart it's not a survey, gotcha sorry.

Good post!

I am not a victim, or a martyr.

I am sincerely seeking answers in a place I know many do not care for the Christian belief system.

What better place to help myself and others understand and grow?

Thank you for your response.

Personally, it's not so much hate as mild irritation. Too many christians simply don't understand their own religion. That's it in a nutshell, ignorance. Many, if not most, self-proclaimed christians haven't even put a serious effort into reading the bible, even one time through. Way too many don't know the wild disparity between christian "tradition" and what the bible actually says. Sadly, the more ignorant the person is, the more they seem to want to foist their cluelessness onto the rest of humanity.

I could understand if a bunch of well-christian-educated folks took their religion seriously and wanted to impose them on others. But for plainly clueless people to "demand" others care about something they themselves can't be bothered to learn about, is really freakin' annoying.

And not just reading the bible, but understanding the the thing, and how their religion has fit into the world. Not in the current "bubble" manner, but it's roots in judaism, and interactions with other religions throughout the last 2000 years. I'm not even talking a scholarly pursuit, just a casual interest.

Maybe that's it, in a nutshell. Most christians aren't even interested in their own religion. Why should the rest of us bend to their own ignorance?

No offence taken.

You don't know me from Adam. (Pardon the pun!)

ive been wounded by the judgement and hypocrisy in all forms of church, especially the christians.

i appreciate all the real christians out there that are full of love and acceptance for all.

but i do not like when faux-christians look at my tattoos and then turn their noses and ignore me.

i did not like it when i found my grandmother going through my CDS, and when i found her on my bed looking at my sketchbook. she tried to scold me about who i was, and told me that i made her sad. that i was going to hell and burn there for eternity if i didnt stop listening to certain CDs, and stop drawing certain things. (like nude studies, religious collages, etc)

it hurts when so-called christians judge and put fear into people.

because i was so tormented and traumatized by my grandmother with hell and brimstone preachings, that i started to feel like an awful person.

also, another grandmother told me as a young child that God didnt love women as much as men, that women are less and property.

i cried in my bedroom after that and felt worthless.

and you ask why others hate?
the only reason i stopped hating is because i found it in my heart to love these people with awful messages of fear.

the problem with the religion is that Jesus is manipulated for the self serving interests of the Christian followers. They take advantage of his struggle and message in an effort to forgive their sins. We all know that we live in a world where sins have a significant effect on others. The religio as a whole is more damaging then it is serving. There is no self responsiblilty in claiming that Jesus died for our sins. In fact I would argue that Jesus died because of our sins and in his love, begged God to forgive us for them, but in no way does that mean we are free and clear.

You and your relatives are all going to Hell, not because you believe differently than Christians, but because you are a part of fallen humanity. The only crime that you have to be guilty of to send you to hell...is being born.

There is a way out though, and the rejection of that "salvation" will put into full force your fallen condition, and no amount of good deeds will save you from your fallen condition.

Most "Christians" have arrived at their present state of belief not due to independent thinking, but to being brainwashed as children. Ask them their reasoning behind one of their particular beliefs and they will either say something completely bonkers, refer you to their pastor, or quote from the Bible.

Almost every one I've met is a self-righteous, hypocritical, holier-than thou ignoramus who inevitably has a stunningly flawed and skewed view of the world around them.

Historically, Christians have been responsible for unbelievable amounts of violence and murder in the form of wars, crusades, etc.

There are lots more reasons I could type, but I have to take a shit and shower before work.

I agree. Well said.

Like the way this person thinks.

Leading by example is the best way to preach. If you set a good example you may attract people who are interested in your beliefs. That was all Jesus did, that and some good sleight of hand tricks.

It doesn't mean beating on my door on Saturday morning, demanding I follow or go to hell.

Yep. Livingstone is the real deal here people. No need to attack him. He's asking for your help to understand an issue. Just answer his questions honestly.

There are plenty of people in this place (assuming you mean GLP) who do care for it. Unfortunately, alot of them suck like 19.47. Folks like you and Muadib are few and far between.

Absolutely brilliant.

Judaism provides workable rules for living with other people, along with a fair helping of nonsense. At least Jews don't insist we all convert to their faith.

The Only Christians I dislike are the "Dobson" types that attack me or tell me I'm Gonin' to hell.

I do volunteer work for some of the area churches and I get a lot of respect from them that totally goes against stereotypes.

Unfortunately for your fleshly nature, there is no hell.

I am a grizzled old biker with many tattoos.

So, I gotcha.




What a touching and heart felt response.

Duly noted.

yes but i dont condemn anyone to hell for not believeing like me. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

Hi LaVey.

I hope you are doin' good today.

*Boink*

Like, J-ws = Chosen

Non-J-ws = Cattle/animals provided by G-d for j-ws to enslave and exploit.

I guess if j-daism was an INCLUSIVE faith, eventually there wouldn't be enough goy left to exploit.

This is nothing more than an excuse birthed in the fallow ground of Bull shit!

The truth be told, most people who are antagonistic to the gospel do not understand why they hate Christianity or why they are irritated by anyone inferring that they may be "sinners". But the truth is that men love darkness rather than light, and that light hurts our sensitivity to the darkness, which we love to hold onto. That is the real reason why we hate Christ.

The Scriptures are clear, that friendship with the world is enmity against God. The two can never be joined together. Either you will love the one and hate the other or vice versa.

This business of Christians being mindless auto-cons, is pure bull shit. Most Christians have made the decision to follow Christ out of great repentance to their fallen condition, and have done so with great sacrifice. Those who dwell in darkness do not understand the light enough to give any kind of definitive prognosis to the mental state of a person who makes this decision.


When a person is Born again, their desire for war, violence, and hate is replaced with the life and grace of Jesus Christ. They are incapable of any such deeds, so this is nothing more than an excuse to justify your own sinful condition; and no amount of shitting and showering before work can wash away the guilt of a sinful life.
