[W: 330] Why People Hate Religion

Re: Why People Hate Religion

Actually, he told us what kind of assholes we were going to run into, and sure enough...

Yes, the hypocrites who pray in public and prey on the gullible as false prophets. True enough indeed.

Re: Why People Hate Religion

That is a rather strange claim. It sounds more like bigoted rhetoric than a fact. Can you support that claim with something other than rhetoric? I suspect that you will not be able to support your claim. It looks like a biased opinion rather than accurate.

I don't have to "support" anything, they do it for me.

Why, that is the expected answer from you. It does support one thing, but I am not sure what it supports is what you expect.

Who are "they"? Do "they" carry signs identifying themselves?

Why people hate religion?

Indigenous people, specifically the horrible fate experienced by millions of them when the Christian soldiers arrived in their lives.

When you can do something other than insult, demand proof, and refuse to back up your own claims then you'll get a different answer from me.

Don't play dumb.

Don't play dumb.

Do you carry a sign? How do you determine what is in someone's heart?

What specific claim do you want me to support. Please be clear.

I have made it clear, don't play dumb. Or are you not playing?

Re: Why People Hate Religion

For most of those who hate the Christian religion - it's because they don't like the moral laws that
come with it! Plain and simple. :shrug:



It's not Christianity's fault that Christians commit sins.
Even if sinners are church authorities, they're still people who struggle with temptation.

It's okay to point at Christians' hypocrisy - but, let's not blame the religion for it.

Anyway - that POLITICAL OPINION piece smacks of ignorance of Christianity.
Same old, same old of those who criticize Christianity (and Christians). As usual.

It's good though, that you stated it's just an opinion.
Meh - he's entitled to it.

Even "sins" are a hoax. No where in the new testament does Jesus say homosexuality is a sin. Not to mention that evangelicals worship the most godless sinner that ever held the Presidency.

What have you made clear?? There seems to be a lack of communication on your part. What specific claim do you want me to support? Don't give vague references, Give a direct claim. Point to a post. Stop evading.

Why I hate organized religion:

Alabama Pastor Raped 9-Year-Old Girl On Father’s Grave

AL.com reports Mack Charles Andrews, a pastor at the conservative United Pentecostal Church, is accused of sexually torturing, abusing, and raping multiple underage victims.
“My pastor was my rapist.” An Alabama pastor is accused of raping, torturing, and sexually abusing multiple children, including the rape of a 9-year-old girl on her father’s grave.

He told me if I didn’t say anything, he would come back and put flowers on the grave. If I did, he said demons would come and get me from my bed.

---Look at the expression on his face.
If anyone ever deserved castration, in addition to life without parole, it is this guy.



He only got fifteen years, which means he will do it again.

Maybe, he will do it again. Paedophiles are not liked by other felons, more than one has not finished their sentenced time in prison owing to fatal 'accidents'.

If that's the way you want it where in the New Testament does Jesus say homosexuality is acceptable?

Where does Jesus say eating pork is acceptable?

(snip)

Most of those who "hate the Christian religion" hold to other religious beliefs. Sadly, some Americans who call themselves Christian, have to come believe that if their specific beliefs aren't front and centre in society, ruling over even those with different beliefs, that they, the 'Christians' are being persecuted. If they ain't the boss, it must mean they are being oppressed.

Too many feel that "equal rights" aren't really equal unless they get to define the term.

He doesn't, Luke does, in the book of Acts. But he doesn't say homosexuality is acceptable.

This reminded me of what Jesus said about how it's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you but, rather, what comes out of it.

Aside: I've learned from the Ken Burns country music documentary that this is what Johnny Cash has inscribed on his tombstone.

Christianity as the predominant religion, I suppose I can understand why there are those from other religion who hate it.

Sadly, some Americans who call themselves Christian, have to come believe that if their specific beliefs aren't front and centre in society, ruling over even those with different beliefs, that they, the 'Christians' are being persecuted. If they ain't the boss, it must mean they are being oppressed.

Too many feel that "equal rights" aren't really equal unless they get to define the term.

Well....I'd say the problem lies on those who hate the religion just because of opinions
and desire expressed by Christians in a DEMOCRATIC society!

Lol. Ruling over even those with different beliefs - what group - including atheists - wouldn't want and aspire for that?

Don't we see that happening with socialist-leaning groups? :lol:
