Does Christians reject cultures and heritages of other religion?

No, Christians are called upon to be tolerant and respectful of other religions and cultures.  But if you take a look at the "religion and spirituality" section of this site, you'll see that often isn't the case.

Followers of Judaism reject both the Christian belief that Jesus was the Messiah and the Muslim belief that he was a prophet. Judaism states that there were no prophets after the prophet Malachi, and still awaits the coming of the Messiah. Jewish belief does not completely reject all of the historical information contained in Gospels, but does reject all of the confessions by early Christian adherents, especially Paul.\n\nChristianity diverged from Judaism in the first century AD: for this reason, the Jewish view of Jesus is important for a historical understanding of Christianity's initial reception. The first Christians were Jews, and, as far as is known, subscribed to Jewish beliefs and practices common at the time. Among these was a belief that a messiah—a descendant of King David—would restore the monarchy and Jewish independence.

They don't do it with Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or Islam.  It must be something about Christianity.

Yeah, we do.  They just don't want to associate with us, because they think we're wierd or whacked out.  But actually, we're not...I think that they should realize that we are the original Christians- they are the ones that broke off only about 500 years ago.  Before, the only Christians were Catholics.  Yeah, we're definitely Christian...wait, what do you mean, we aren't baptised?  Yeah we are!  "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit..."  Dude, check your sources before saying stupid stuff like that.  Catholics don't get baptised...gosh...

When Christians speak to God or about God they mean the same God that Abraham and Isaac and company had their dealings with.  In that sense they embrace rather than deny their Jewish heritage.\n\nIf you mean why don't they interpret scripture according to Jewish tradition and why do they sometimes (ok, often) reach different conclusions--then the short answer is because it's a different religion.\n\nChristians believe that Jesus revealed new truths as well as new rules for understanding and living by the established Jewish law.  Also, from a historical point of view, Christianity's early spread was among Greeks and Italians and others.  Bit, it had relatively few Jewish converts.  The, early church were not particularly attached to Judaism to begin with, so it is an indirect heritage--academic, but not ingrained.\n\nMaybe Christian are offended by your efforts because your premises that the Bible is not literally written by God and is prone to human corruption is a challenge to values they hold dear and rely on to provide consistency in daily life.

Not that I am aware of.  In fact, some branches of some religions don't even believe in using symbols at all.

As I am Jewish, I find a lot of contradictions in Christians. And narrow minded ideals, which is also a contradiction, as Jesus taught the exact OPPOSITE of that sort of behaviour. So forgive me, but you goyim just confuse the hell out of me.

any religion differs due to the culture it is placed in. Culture is never given up even when a new religion is excepted

Ibn Warraq put it, "Historically speaking, Monotheism has often shown itself to be ferociously intolerant, in contrast to polytheism on behalf of which religious wars have never been waged."\n\n“Christians see it as their duty to save the soul of the non-believer, who is seen as inferior. Such religions are inherently predatory and destructive of the cultural systems that they encounter in their role as the aggressor.”\n\n\nChristian churches have formed terrorist organisation in non christian countries. In north east India they have been using all methods for conversion including conversions at gun point. In some states they have literally banned practising hinduism in last four years. 20 hindus were killed only in 2001 for not converting.\n\nOnce they get considerable number of converts they turn more aggressive and resort to more violent tactics, They have been trying to break india and make a separate christian nation now. Thats the fruit we got for being tolerant and giving them freedom to practice their religion. I gave you just a glimpse.\n\nI was surprised by people who answered your question by refering to history. \n\nIt is intersting to see that many christians are blissfully unaware of these facts!Or is it wishfull blindness?

I myself , as a pagan, have wondered that same question many times. the best thing I can think of is that even though we have advanced as a people, there are many who still hold true the values and mores taught to them by family members over the years. What can I say, old habits die hard. THink about it this way, if you are told something by your parents, who was by their parents, who was told by their parents, et cetera, it would be really hard for you to accept anything else.\n Back in merry old England (and the isles), pagans/wiccans were purseued by the Christans who were pretty much forcing everyone to their religion. When the elders of the villages wouldn't heed to the 'younger kids' wishes to converet to CHristianity, they would either fabricate or not totally investigate claims of demon worship, human sacrifice, and other such forms of obsene behavior.  I know that is just one such reason many people shun such religions. This ideology and way of thinking just kind of trickled down through generations, and just hasn't exactly gone away. \nThere are just so many reasons, and I just bearly scratched the surface. I just think that it all boils down to people not accepting what they don't understand and relgious zealots to willing to accept anything other than what they know/believe.

Those who chose to ignore it are not following the Christian faith.  And most of us do not ignore it.\n\nhttp://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/

No, those are fanatics of christianity.  Christianity is supposed to teach tolerance and acceptance.  A true christian is not supposed to such a thing.  Those people are also close minded morons.  Ignoring them is the best way to handle them.

Christianity will oppose any development that threatens its validity.Christianity cannot stray from the Bible which is what gives it validity.Challenge the Bible and you challenge all Christians including the "Roman structure of Christianity,headed by the Roman Pope'..The Dead Sea Scrolls are an on hand challenge..What about unknown historical documents that did not survive!!!!!

Generally not...There are religions which would preclude the use of the bible some of which are christian. "Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no for anything beyond this is from the wicked one". Don't remember the exact location but it's from one of Paul's letters. Not all courtrooms are as enlightened though.....

Why? Can a Pagan not follow Christ's teachings? Seems to me they can if they want to do so. Lots of people consider themselves 'christian' and probably are not. Who are we to judge?
