Why do people hate Jesus so much?

one mans morality is another mans sin especially in primitive cultures, consider New Guinea ...

Riker, I have to admire how patient and completely graceful you have been in the face of some pretty rough posts. I'm sure it has been tough. God Bless you.

I just did; hadn't gotten to you yet :-)

Please, tell me more!

Riker, I will not go into cannibal lore simply to satisfy your voyeurism ...

That's not jesus, that's God. There's a difference.

jesus does nothing.

If my child yells for help and calls me daddy, I help her anyway when she really needs it. I don't quibble about the name she called me.

Nor do I suddenly sprout a penis and scrotum because I was called "daddy."

God answered your prayer IN SPITE of what you called It. Not BECAUSE of what you called It.

Jesus doesn't exist, and probably never did in any form. If any man existed that was anything like the one in the bible, he was horribly hijacked and brutally misused.

This is the whole problem. People cry out to God and God answers... but they put names on God and God still answers. So they think that the NAME was what answered... not GOD.

The name "jesus" holds no power. Human faith holds all the power, and God answers according to the TRUTH of GOD... no matter the expectations and lies that have been shoved onto It.

That's the problem, though.

God always answered your prayer, but in the appropriate and real way that God does so. Not according to the LIES of the bLibel.

The LIES of the bLibel actually push people away from GOD by creating unrealistic and unreasonable expectations of God.

When of course, they fail to materialize... people become disillusioned with GOD, when it's just JESUS that doesn't exist, NOT GOD!!

The failure is in the lies.

If we could know the TRUTH about GOD and what to expect, and not the lies the bLibel tells about GOD, we would find more people would have and sustain belief in GOD.

But the bLibel, by lying, destroy faith, and/or misplace it.

Which is terrible. Evil, even.

You don't need to go into cannibal lore with christians, they practice it symbolically!

What do you think communion is??

"Eat my body and drink my blood" to remember me... what do you call that?

no cat and mouse with Sandi_T

OK, just have to...you said cat and mouse.


:seesawmouse:

spiritual cannibalism...?

But, yes, the bible if taken literally word for word is a very violent book that does not portray God in a positive light.

Yeah, cause that somehow makes it less disgusting...

Necromancy, sorcery, cannibalism, worshiping a corpse on a torture device...

all a-okay when THEY do it, but horrifying when any other religion does! Oh noes!

these people are trying to save your soul from Satan

+1.

My soul is mine...I take good care of it:-)
Satan is the product of your sick imagination. I don't blame you though, if I was brainwashed from early childhood, as many of you Christers, I might have grown to be just like you guys.

Personally I think your retarded !

If you had a friend (hypothetically) a they were about to walk into a building that you knew was about to explode !

Wouldn't you at least if not frantically try to stop them from entering ?

Actually I was going to say before I saw your post...

Oh here we go again, everybody with their little reasoning/opinions.. I see them as little specs of dust soon to be blown away !


But Yeshua THE GREAT I AM will still remain.

Hallelujah

Sadly, all too many people take it either literally, or nearly so.

And as a result, it is responsible for a multitude of true horrors throughout history.

Serious question. I find it curious.

You got that pegged.
Strange,..... the things people will believe.

Belief brings consolation, but consolation is not necessarily the experience of truth...

Very true, it is a simulation of truth for most based upon here-say.
But they fail to see that as they have not the eyes for it.

for many simulation of truth is enough, however, it is shallow, it is...superficial

Why don't you like Christians? Sincere question and I've had my own reasons.... but please if you don't mind give me an actual example, not just the easy bible thumper line! It would help me out.

Also, some people believe that they actually HAVE met him. People who met him when he lived hated him or loved him.

And even those who don't believe he ever existed say awful things directed specifically about him, not just his followers, you know?

do you believe in aliens?

Honestly didn't mean to abandon it. Just having my birthday dinner. :-)

I dont think its that people hate him.. People hate the bible pushers.. the people that are always throwing him in our faces.. Bible thumpers give religion a very bad name.
