Why are Christians a target throughout the world?

You've got to remember.  It's not about what we perceive as reality.  The Bible says there is a war in the "invisbles". . .the unseen.  It is a war against the principalities and powers of Satan.  Their objective is to supplant God.  Ålways has been.  God's objective is to redeem man, to get man back into fellowship with Him.  So, as Christians, we are in the family and Satan knows to bring whatever he has to bear against us.  Sex, war, terrorism. . .whatever.  Satan knows the Bible a whole lot better than we do and he is not afraid to jack us up royally.  He is the father of lies.  Satan's goal for us is self-destruction.  Since we choose to love God and follow Him, the only way Satan can really hurt God is to get us to choose to self-destruct.  He gets us where our weakness is and then just lets sin take it course. . .the end being self-destruction.  The world is just a part of that process.  There are really only two religions in the world.  Christianity and Hinduism.  Christianity says" you need a God".  Hinduism, which comes in many forms from  Mormonism to Humanism to whatever says 'you can be your own god."  If you'll recall, that's just the same old lie Satan used in the garden and is still using today.  Hope that helps.

Because the secret agenda is to "convert" everybody to Christianity.\n\nThe way Christianity operates specially in the US nowadays is through fear and to do as they say. In other words our leaders are manipulating the people in grounds of religious believes or "moral values".\n\nWe MUST respect everybody and their believes!!!!\n\nGOD has to be bigger than that.

I assume this is directed towards Christians, which I am not, but I'd still like to put my 2 cents in. If Christians fly planes into buildings Because God told them to, or Christians strap bombs to themselves & murder civilians riding in busses or eating pizza. When Christians declare their intention to take over the world & force people to convert at gunpoint, THEN we can discuss this. Until then, your question is meaningless & therefore unanswerable.

They are always bombing people invading their countries.\nThey corrupt governments and terrorise the people\nThey cheat the farmer with low prices and get cheap oil to waste.\nThe dig up Africa [etc] and take all the minerals\nThey put up trade barriers to keep people down and poor\nThey flood the world with a vile culture [which includes everything Christianity says it does not believe]\n\nThen when everyone is dying they throw a few cents at them and feel good

Well its, not just you.  They bother Wiccans and New Agers and Neo-pagans all the time too.  I think that Athiests and pagans are their favorite targets, because most Christians are so misinformed about our beliefs by their religion and religious authorities.  \n\nAnd fundamentally, protstyltizing is less about a farith then it is about ego and disrespect.  Evangelical Christians think they are better then everyone else because their brand of God is better then any other.  Anyone who isn't in their jolly little cult is an inferior being, not worthy of respect, whom they have to save from themselves.  On a basic level, that is egotistical and rude.  It assumes that athiests or Wiccans or Buddhists are stupid or brainwashed for having different ideas.  \n\nI have a Hindu friend who was tired of people giving her little "Jesus Saves" brochures, so she made up some fakey ironic brochures about how Hinduism saves.  She would take their jesus brochure if they would take hers.  The idea was to get them to understand what it felt like to be treated like an idiot child, and to teach them a little about her beliefs.  It didn't stop the prostylytizing all together, but it taught some people a few things and scared some of them away.  Amazingly, they don't like being prostyltized to.

Most western countries ( Europe and the Americas) are basically Christian oriented.\nChristianity teaches that Jesus died for the sins of Mankind.\nThis belief alone gives license to the believer to sin.\nPornography is promotes by all western countries.\nLook at the  way women who go to church dress, they way they speak and preach in church.\nGays and lesbians demand rights because they believe that they are right.\nThis is all about sexual behavior.\nThis is not the case in other civilizations and religions.\nBut of course , who is to tell the Christian nations that they are wrong.\nEven if it were possible for Jesus to come back and try to reform modern day " Christians" they would seek to crucify him again.\nGod Bless you all.

Christians are NOT the only ones who discriminate against others. Most organised religions talk  'smiting the infidel'. They all believe that their's is the one true way.

God doesn't leave people to kill each other, unless they choose to.  God did not make man a robot but a creature who can choose right or wrong.  He doesn't want people to starve but many starving nations do not believe in Him, nor call on Him for intervention.  However, missionaries are going into those places and doing a good work.  Others who are Christians and being tortured are victims of an evil power over them in the form of govt.  They are martyrs for their faith.  Many of us have prayed for our brothers and sisters in Sudan for years and we see our prayers answered.  Other Christians have gone in and rescued those being tortured as slaves by the govt.  They are receiving help.  It doesn't matter where you are born, you can always chose to believe in God.  God knows us even before we are designed in our mother's womb.  I came from a non-christian home but I chose to follow after Him, seek Him, serve Him.  I am not exempt from trials, persecution and sorrows of life but I have divine joy and peace because of the hope He brings me.  It is all a matter of faith.  Either believe or not believe.  I'm one who says there are vast rewards to having faith where there is otherwise total hopelessness.  Press on!

Think about it...many unbelievers feel the need to bash christianity but not other religions (buhdism, islam, hindu, etc...).  That in itself shows that there is something different about what we believe in.  It is in man's heart to know there is a God.  Many people choose to reject this truth and attack all those who do believe it.  \n\nAlso look at the bible and think about how Satan has attacked it and tried to pervert it.  There are countless so called translations of the bible, but there is only one quran.  Why attack a book unless there is power in it.  \n\nBut, as far as being persecuted more?  Not a chance.  We have it easier than Christians during any other time period in any other part of the world.  We don't have to worry about being put to death for our faith.  We just worry about being made fun of a little...I thank God for the privilage to live in this country where we can worship God freely!

People have come to the conclusion that "Christians" hate everyone because the conservative radicals are the ones that get public attention.\n\nAs true Christians, we are to follow Jesus' example and follow the commands of the Bible.   Jesus lived a life of love.   He does not hate anyone, only their sins.   That is why He gave His life to cover our sins.   He loves us even though we disobey Him.   If He loves everyone, so should we!!

Cuz their god likes to kill off his creations, and christians support that. But seeing as they might die at any moment, they decide to brainwash as many other people as possible into their beliefs

Yeah, I have heard about some christian groups wanting this; also wanting israel to invade areas in the middle east because some prophecies say that this is necessary in order to bring about the end of times.  These people are literally insane.

If you look deeply into what the christian religion is, you'll find its a means of controlling, through fear of damnation, the general public.  the best way of controlling  people is convince them that they have a common enemy,  the devil.  Its motivates people to do things they wouldn't normaly do like kill other humans or give all their money to a church.  Anyone who doesn't believe in the church degrades the churches power over people and therefore must be hated.  This includes pagans.  That's a very very condensed version and I hope it still made sense.

First off, I think your question could have done without the attempt to compare Christ's message to the confused and conflicting pagan pantheons.  I understand that you are trying to single out what Christ's main message is but it very much like comparing apples and oranges.\n\nThe second part of your question, however, has merit.  Christ did teach to "love your neighbor as yourself" and that all lives are precious to God as the core of his message.  Based on this, it is certainly true that Christians are called to be peace minded and to aviod wars.  War is an awfull and terrible thing that is brought about by the effects of sin on our world.  But what about the wars and battle of the Old Testament?  If every type of armed conflict was abhorrent, why would Christ not openly condem the Jewish Patriarchs?  Each of them led their people in countless battles against enemies.  The answer is that the bible's only provision for this type of conflict is when innocent lives are threatened and need to be protected.  Authorities - or governments - are charged by God to protect the innocent against those who would harm them and sometimes the only way to do this is through battle.  In the same token, it is the governenment's crucial responsiblity to act wisely and to take into account God's will. \n\nIn light of this, I belive that your charge that any Christian who supports any type of international armed movement is a hypocrit to be much much too broad of a statement and does not take into account God's desire to protect the innocent and punish those who would harm them.

Not everyone in the world has the same access to the world's resources and to the opportunity to get a good education.  In some places a person who is a Buddhist, for example, will have difficulty getting an education, while in other places like Darfur in the Sudan, a Christian is in danger of getting killed.\n\nNo one can be blamed for being born Black or Chinese or into a family of a certain religion but in some places the society discriminates against certain types of people and makes it easy for other types of people.
