So what do you call a Christian bashing other people’s beliefs?\nFor example what is a Christian bashing Islam called?\nOr a Christian bashing Atheism?\nOr this happens all the time, Christians bashing Satanism?\nWhat about Christians bashing Wicca?\nWhat are these Christians called? Why is it righteous for Christians to bash but not for anyone else? It seems that Christianity is a religion based on contradictions. They practise an “eye for an eye”, but to their enemy they preach to “turn the other cheek”.  Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy in this faith?

The one thing some Christians have against them (I am Christian as well) is how they treat others.  Our pastor recently said in a sermon,  " I'll tell you, if I was a non-believer and was thinking about becoming a Christian, the one thing that would stop me is how we treat others and ourselves."\n\nI have to agree.  The way you bring people to love Jesus is by love, prayer, and grace.  Not by bashing them for not being Christian.  Truth is:  we are all sinners and being Christian does NOT make us superior, yet we act as though it should.  We are ALL God's children.  EVERY sin is equal in God's eyes.\n\n\nWhy would anyone respect us if we approach them in an accusing, judgemental manner?!\n\nThere is hypocrisy in ALL faiths and ALL people because we are all sinners.  Please understand...no one is perfect except Jesus Christ.  Being a follower of Christ in no way makes our sins invisible.\n\nI am embarrassed and apologetic for the image some of us have portrayed.

I'm not an atheist, however I would like to add my two cents. I don't label all atheist as hating my faith (Christians) However a lot on here are more apt to bash Christianity than anything else.

If there is more than one god, you are at least worshipping one.  If there is no god, you are merely wasting your own time worrying about it.  If there is one god, you are arguing about a name.  God is god.  Do you think addressing God by the "wrong name" is going to get God upset?  Or using the "wrong" rituals or prayers?  That kind of god is too petty and insecure to deserve respect.  I suspect God is more interested in your actions out in the world.  Do you try to make life better for people or do you try to make people more miserable?  Sure, we may disagree on many of the details, but essentially, we all know what's right or wrong, church teaching notwithstanding.  And ignorance cannot be sin.

how many ppl thinks its anti christian\nand the ppl that thinks its a fiction book\n\nThat is a flawed statistic. The people who think it is antichristian also know it is a book of fiction.\n\nStats like this have not been established or published. Anyone trying to answer this will be guessing.

This seems to be typical again. You are asking a question about a specific topic about the Christian believe but you want to shut up the very people involved in this believe to shed some light on this. That shows me that you are not really searching for the truth but just want people to tickle your itching ears to speak out against Christianity in order to quiet your conscience.\nIf Christians would ask a question and mention that non-Christians are not to be involved in the discussion, they immediately would be called names and bashed and perceived as biased, close minded and hateful, wanting to brain wash people and shut down free speech.\nYou can see this over and over in these question/answer situations, really eye opening!\nI am not attacking you with this, just in case some people start wondering again, just uncovering some truth and exercising free speech. Have a nice day ;) May the Holy Spirit bring you some enlightenment in this matter...

First of all, I'd like to point out that I don't critisize God, or anyones religion, for that matter. Yes, I choose to be wiccan, but that doesn't make me bad, by any means. It's not devil worship, as many have said here. Your question could be turned around to say "Why do christians put down Pagans and Wiccans?" I think we should all just agree to disagree, and move on from there. I have many friends who are christian, I even used to be a member of the Baptist faith, however, I wasn't satisfied. I found more religion sitting at my house than I ever did sitting in a Church! People are what turned me away from the church, because there are so many hypocrites who profess to be such upstanding christians, then they are caught doing "unchristian-like" things. I don't judge people, and people shouldn't judge me. That is my take on it.\n\nBlessed Be.

Completely agree!! Religion (Christianity very much included)is all about self-righteous arrogance, justifying any sort of deviation from its own standards whenever it suits them and (my personal favourite...)justifying hate against anyone with differing beliefs, races and sexual orientations all the while spreading the message of god's love to all...aaaarrrggh...now I'm angry too!!\nRe: androcles comment; That has got to be the most ridiculous comment ever, comparing football clubs to churches is just nonsensical! They are not going around preaching, about how you should love and help your neighbour and then spending money which they could have used to practice what they preach! Football clubs are a business these days and you could have used them interchangeably with anything else like the construction of your local Tesco (do we really need a Sainsbury's and a Tesco - see what I mean about a ridiculous argument!!!)

I can see where you are coming from, but making it look as though you are angry and shouting is not very Pagan of you. I am an eclectic Wiccan, as in the traditional Wiccan, not Gardanerian or Alexandrian. As you know, you cannot be Wiccan without being Pagan. It is each to there own, people believe in what they want to. When the christians are being rude & bible bashing, then don't let it get to you. Remember that anger will turn to hate and make a bitter person. Pagans are not bitter. But i would like to point out to christians & all that think this, that Lucifer IS NOT associated with the "devil" (something we do not believe in), but Lucifer does mean "Bearer of Light". and is used in rituals of thanks and blessings. I have lots of points i can make to christians about contradictions in the bible etc, but i will not do this, as it is each to thier own. Where as if someone stops me to preach, i tell them what path i follow and that i am a Witch. Suprisingly, they are intrigued, and a Jehovas witness has actually said that he wished there were more pple like me!. We are all allowed our opinions....\nBB\nSolista

I've been told I was upset.  For me it's not being upset, it's having questions.  Since Christians are the majority here it makes no sense for one to ask many questions about other religions as they would just get scrolled over.  Even questions about Christianity that require actual knowledge or thought get scrolled over, so most questions end up being either funny or blatant attacks.  It seems that is the only way to get heard.

are you a Christian?\nwe don't all bash gays, we just want them to realize they are sinning.\nWe Christians all sin daily, but we are aware and repent. (the real ones do at least.)\nRemember the thing about the splinter in one man's eye while a log is in your own?\nwe are all hypocrites to an extent.\nYou included, and myself as well.

Let me take a moment to go on record as saying that the majority of the responses above more than adequately show the lack of respect and hypocracy that is rampant in the Christian community (see the "Why do Christian's Bash Everyone?" question, where everyone says "we don't bash - other's bash *us*!" mmhmm.)\n\nAnyways, Just to let you know I've seen a steady Satanist community over on beliefnet.  While I may not practice your beliefs (or the Christian's beliefs either) I do respect your right as an individual to believe and practice as you will, to whatever brings joy to your life.\n\nIf everyone could bring an ounce of compassion to thier lives, and perhaps act like civilized human beings (and not a torch wielding mob) the world would be a much safer and happier place.\n\nGood luck in your search :)

If there is one thing I really dislike it's someone who tries to impose his, or her., beliefs onto me.Religious or otherwise.\n I assume you are a Christian ? (Why would I assume that)?\nBut continuing with my assumption , explain to your 'victim' the meaning of the Holy Trinity, if that doesn't put them off nothing will!Maybe I have been too harsh here, perhaps you are trying to 'convert some one to your own brand of politics?\nWhatever the case, there is no problem with debate, but 'debate' is a two sided affair, or it would be a lecture, same as 'conversation' (it takes two to converse)!\nI am atheist, I have no doubt in my own mind that there is no God, but there is no way I could convince any religious sect to agree with me, and there is no way I would try, but I will continue to debate the subject. There is no way they could convince me I am wrong, but I will continue to listen.\nUnless I think there is some sort of 'conversion' trail ongoing , it becomes just laughable at that point!\nBut if you are indeed a Christian, try your technic out on me first, tell me where in the Bible the Holy Trinity is mentioned? \nIf you are not trying to convert some one to Christianity, then know your subject, inside out, so you have all the facts that cannot be opposed, then if you like try them out on me also, if you can convert me to your way of thinking you are in with a fair shot! (And I'm nothing special).

good question!\n\nalot of debate ... i'd really like to know the answer from our christian friends\n\n\n=====================\n\nUPDATE\n\n\naron! is that the way you defend your religon ... by insulting others?\n\nthis section on Yahoo Answers meant for proper discussions between all religons and civilizations ... so why you respond in that silly way!

OK venting about other religions is wrong. I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed to love everyone, no matter how different they are from them. Everyone has their own beliefs, why can't we accept people for who they are?( at least, until they start harming and abusing people...)\n\n\nha ha... and I just realized that the person above me just basically said the same thing....

I would take it as a compliment if someone were to insult me like that.  Just shows their jealousy and how insecure they are.  tsk tsk.  children.\n\nWhy do people lie about other people's religion?  Like saying totally idiot things like Muslims worship a moon god, beat their women, get 72 virgins, are all terrorists, yadda yadda yadda?  \n\nBecause they are morons.  Have fun picking on them.  I do.  mwa ha ha ha!!

Bashing in any form. I don't like to see it, and it always seems to be done by those who know absolutely nothing, but think they know everything. Then they end up being completely exposed as liars and idiots. I don't like to see lies being told about my own religion, or anybody else's.

Mrknowitall, thank you.  I've been a member of the LDS Church for 13 yrs and I am grateful that their are people in Yahoo answers who doesn't bash someone's beliefs (except the Mormon people)  For all you So-called christians, where does it say in the Bible that if someone doesn't agree with you that you have to bash and degrade and LIE about someones religion.  Jesus Christ Himself NEVER said anything about Hate towards anyone, in fact he said, "Love thy neighbor as thy self."  Are you Christians or worse, even the pagans show more love here then you.\n\nSorry for the rant, I have never believed the LDS Church was a cult, when I was younger I never believed as they believed.
