Why do people hate Christians?

We don't kill nobody. We keep to ourselves for the most part. Even in government we don't force people to believe what we do. Christianity is all about faith and free will. We should all have the right to be whatever faith we want to be. It seems to me like alot of people want to do away with Christ entirely. Although this is impossible, it is disturbing! I understand that there is alot of hypocrisy in the churches these days. But thats people for ya! I don't want to blame God and become an Atheist for the simple fact that alot of people are hypocrites and are just as evil as anyone else. I don't believe that people are "perfect". I do believe however, that the churches could do more in the area of "behavior". Gossip and Slander and things of such are very harmful to people who lack understanding. Some blame God for the problem. But the real problem is man. As long as there are people there will be hypocrites. As long as there are hypocrites there will be Atheists.

Why do people hate Christians?
Joh 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it has hated you.


Joh 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.


Joh 15:20 Remember the Word which I said to you, A slave is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted Me, they also will persecute you. If they kept My Word, they also will keep yours.


Joh 15:21 But all these things they will do to you on account of My name, because they do not know the One who sent Me.
Reply:Even Jesus himself would hate the christians!! Christians are a cult, almost like the crazy Nazi!
Reply:I don't hate Christians. I hate people who claim to be Christians who have no clue what the heck they're talking about! Actually, I dislike anyone who claims to know what they're talking about when they have no clue...
Reply:Open up your history books and science books, and start reading. Maybe then you will understand why people despise Christianity.
Reply:us muslims dont hate the christians and we respect Jesus ,peace be upon him.muslims and christiand get on well here where i live.


but the jews...........well,thats another story
Reply:There are people of your faith who want to convert all the non-believers and won't rest until that happens. There are people of your faith who will not rest until the ten commandments, prayer, and ID/creationism is taught in every public school, and judges will base their decisions on the bible and the ten commandments.





There are some Christians who would prefer that those of us of minority faith, other faith, and no faith were either killed or gotten rid of.





That's why a lot of people seem to be down on Christians a lot lately. It's nothing against you personally, unless you're a member of the extremist Christians who want all of this to happen.
Reply:I don't hate Christians.





I hate fundies who attack my beliefs and tell me I'm wrong as a Muslim.
Reply:And ye shall be hated of all men for My names sake, but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:13
Reply:I don't hate Christians as a whole.


I hate the ones that try and force their religion down my throat and tell me that I'm wrong for what I believe, or don't believe for that matter.


If you think that I'm going to hell that's fine, but I don't need you (not you personally mind you) telling me that all the time. I don't knock you down for what you believe, why knock me down for what I do or don't believe?
Reply:I assume its because they don't have a great history with ingenious peoples. Christianity has a bad history,here's a few; Imperialism, crusades, shaping the world, demeanoring other people's beliefs, crushing other people's beliefs, WW2(Hitler), and so on.
Reply:If you all keep to your self so much then why do I get so much hate mail from Christians on here? Sure, you may actually practice what you are preaching, but your fellow 'believers' sure don't.





I do not hate Christians. I am however of the opinion that Christianity is a mediocre idea gone horribly, horribly wrong. Many of its fundamental teachings strike me as innately harmful and damaging; its followers tend to be close-minded and bigoted; and its theology is flawed. To be fair, it shares several of these qualities with other monotheistic religions. Also to be fair, as people will no doubt race to inform me, Christianity does have adherents who aren't quite as warped as their religion tends to be. However, in general, I have found Christianity to be severely lacking in its spirituality, social, and ethical teachings; and Christians to be largely arrogant and rude.





People don't become Atheists just because they don't like Christians, it's usually because they see no evidence for the existence of any Gods.





I chose my religion because I liked it better than Christianity, and for me it's the right one. Different people have different ways of viewing the world and that's how it should be. You are being judgmental with your comment about false religions.

Research your church history before posting such nonsense.
Reply:because they killed and bunred a lot


of Innocent people!!!


oh yeah besides they got brainwashed!
Reply:First of all I don't hate Christians. I have close firendships with pastors and lay people alike who know my views, but also know they've been able to count on me when they couldn't count on the faithful.





Secondly, get a dictionary and look up hypocrite. You clearly have no idea of the word's actual meaning and you are embarassing yourself and all Christians with you.





Thirdly, people like you are hated, and bring condemnation on Jesus, because your post doesn't display even the most tenuous contact with the teachings, mind or spirit of Christ , or the Apostles, but show an excellent command of the kind of ad hominem trash taking made popular by TV evangelists who also don't know Jesus from Shinola and got their theological training from a Crackerjacks box.
Reply:People dont like christians because the few christians they see are so horrible.





If I was not a christian, I would hate them too.
Reply:You are wrong nobody hates Christians, we love Christians but it's their religion we hate... non-practising Christians are okay by me. And you know it's a choice so why not become an ex-Christian and choose atheism... you know it makes sense.
Reply:"And you will be hated by all for my Name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved." In hating Christians the hater is, ironically, fulfilling the Lord's prophecy. http://aibi.gospelcom.net/articles/perse...





"Blessed are you when [people] insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me" (Matthew 5:11). This is what Christians sign up for when they commit their lives to Christ.
Reply:People may hate you just because of what you believe in, which is truly the ultimate ignorance.





But, you can't blanket all people.. we don't hate Christians.. but we may dislike people who happen to be Christian.
Reply:Uhhh.... Have you been paying attention for the last 100 years?





Christians have been trying to impose their rules on those who don't believe as they do through anti-gay laws, anti-abortion laws, prohibition, anti-drug laws, laws prohibiting the teaching of evolution, prohibiting embryonic stem-cell research, preventing vaccines against cervical cancer, etc.





And if you think Christians don't kill anyone, try convincing the millions in Africa who have died because the churches won't discuss safer sex and encourage use of condoms.
Reply:You forgot the word anymore





You don't kill anybody anymore.
Reply:jesus warned his followers that this would be the case:





(Matthew 10:22) And YOU will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.
Reply:I agree with you really I do. In the bible it says they hated Christ and we also have to face a lot of the things Christ did.We are in the world but not of the world. Don't let it get to you be glad that you are on Christ side.
Reply:If you actually did not kill anyone, kept to yourselves and didn't want to make your religion the law of the land, no one would have a problem with Christians at all.





None of that is true however, so people get annoyed at the constant nonsense.
Reply:I don't hate all Christians. If you are around Yahoo for very long however, you will see the most disrespectful and intolerant opinions being most often expressed by Christians. Someone asks for resources on learning Buddhism for example and several Christians jump in trashing Buddhism and saying anyone who doesn't accept Jesus as their savior is bound for the fiery pit of Hell. This is atrocious and offensive behavior to me. I couple this with the denial of scientific discoveries and trying to keep evolution from being taught in school and other policies regarding sex education and birth control which they try to interfere with. These particular Christians aren't interested in allowing others to follow their own life path. Yes, there are also Muslims who are very pushy and intolerant as well as atheists who are really venting their frustrations but I think they are by far outnumbered by the intolerant Christians.
Reply:It is because of their better than you attitude, coupled with persistant hey, you little sinner, did you know you are sinning? Why don't you get saved?





Even a fool can see that the best "Christian" is still sinning %26amp; imperfect. It is laughable for one sinner, for this is the definition of sinner, one that sins, to tell still another they need to get saved.





When you are perfect, then you may judge what the other person really needs.





This is the hypocrisy of it all.
Reply:i dont
Reply:We don't kill nobody? Do witch hunts ring any bells? Keep to ourselves? Guess christians don't do mission works. Don't influence the government? You need to do some research.
Reply:the only reason we hate people is because we have a reason to. Renounce the reasons to hate and you have love.





Excuse me while I sing a song.
Reply:Christianity is most known because of the Europeans that pushed it upon masses. The bible itself is plagarized!!!! The bible is full of farfetched myths that are used to control people ultimately. The Christians i come in contact with are narrow minded. the believe that one man of alllllllll the things on this earth is the only way to salvation. The exclusive few that created Christianity are Freemasons. If you arent informed on The Illuminati, Freemasons, and The New World Order then it may be hard for u to understand what im presenting.
Reply:i dont just hate christians i hate jews and muslims and buddhists i ahte everyone
