I don't hate Christians I just believe something different. Not what say, the bible would say litrally. At the end of the day know one really knows. And I also hate loud mouth athiests who wish too offend others for the sake of it.

I really don't get that one at all, I think that "those people" that you speak of will use anything to justify their hate.  I personally disagree, but then I am in the twenty-first century, not the friggin dark ages.\nI am a Christian, by do not think it is my place to pass judgment on others, tell them how to live their lives.  I am also heterosexual, and I can testify to this, I did not choose to be this way, it is how God made me.  I cannot control what "turns me on".  I also believe that you can justify ANYTHING by picking apart the Bible, and that is BS.   God is love, not hate and competition.  Peace be with you.

Yes, too many Christians today resemble those hypocrites. They have all these little traditions and clicks instead of spreading love and goodwill like Jesus did. That’s why I stay away from Church and those places. Those people scare me...They don't know the real GOD, they just use Gods word to judge others. Think about this...Hitler believed that the bible justified what he did. Really...Judgment is not to be done by us.

That is typical christian behavior and I would say somehing of bully status but dont condemn all christians because some of them actually are good ppl.even though they have been misguided. I do not fear jesus nor do I even know him.that theory that brought forth your question is a mind control device I think its up to you whether you take it or leave it.I left it sometime ago

Jesus doesn't hate you and neither do l... I realize that there are many so-called Christians out there that would rather physically beat people down than prayerfully raise them up but don't tie a rope around all of us for the wrong they do... I speak for all real (Christ-like) Christians... God bless you...

I have seen some "religious" people bash gays and do nothing but hate them, but the true Christian does not hate anyone at all, and they do not bash anyone either. Gay people feel that way because that is what has happened to them from people who claim to love God...but the word of God is REAL clear..."anyone who hates their brother is a murderer". It also says "if you can not love your brother, who you can see, you can not love God, who you can not see."...anyone who claims to be holy and hates is a liar and deceives himself.

Christians have been bashing non believers for thousands of years.  Psalms chap 14 says atheists are foolish and no good.  The flock have been repeating that ever since it was written.  Never mind the violence perpetrated on non believers throughout history.\n\nEven today in the U.S. if you don't make a big deal about how much you go to church, you can't get elected to public office (Bush has even said that you need to have a relationship with the Lord to be president).  In some places if you push evolution over intelligent design you are automatically labelled an atheist (meant in a very derogatory way).\n\nNow they get some it back and they don't like it.  If Christians don't want to be bashed, they need for once to be truly fair to everyone else.

I agree many people fear rejection by their parents and family and community and play along so as not to cause "trouble".  As someone who has questioned the beliefs I can say they are certainly correct.  Athiests are HATED by Christians.  Many even will go as far as to not let their kids come to your house or even worse, they try to convince your kids that their parents are going to hell!  \n\nNice, huh?\n\nI dare anyone, for one week, tell people you are an athiest and watch how fast the christians start to persecute you, not online in opinion forums, but in your town, in your schools, and in your nieghborhood.  It is truly shocking how intolerant they are of people who simply don't believe in their stories and mythology.  Their hatred is palpable.

I think most of us are pretty good at spotting the good guys from the trolls. There are Christians who think it must be impossible for an atheist to be friends with a Christian but I've plenty of Christian friends and they're only making a comment about themselves. I always really appreciate courteous questions and answers from people who don't hold the same worldview as me, and that includes yours. Peace to you.

I'm an atheist myself, but in defense of religious people, there are some wonderful, well-meaning, loving religious people out there. Then there are some jerks. It's the same, in my experience, with any group of people. There are always going to be some loudmouths who want to convince you to be like them. But don't let them make you think that they're all like that. They aren't.

unforunatly many people who claim to be "christrians" really dont have the love of God in their heart, and it puts a bad wrap on the rest of the christians. so thats why so many people dislike them.

Because not all Christians are like you. Have you read some of the questions and answers that your fellow Christians have given on this site? The small minded insults that get tossed at people who don't follow Christ are amazing..and horrible. It is people like that, who unfortunately come to represent the Christian group because they are the loudest, that make the whole concept of organized religion unsavory to me. \n\nThere is no doubt in my mind that there are good people within that faith. But there are also lots of loud horrible ones who keep coming back time and time again with their hate. Until that subsides, I don't think I could ever see Christianity as a truly 'peaceful' religion.

even if athiests are uglier then christians (which im not agreeing with, because both sides have their disrespectful people in them)... however christians are held to higher standards as they have a book to base morals from whereas athiests have their self for basis of morality.

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.

You may dislike me all you want for being an atheist. That only reveals your own lack in character. \n\nI speak out against beliefs (not people) that result in the believer violating the rights of others, or harming the progress of humanity. I do not, however, dislike anyone until I know them.

There is no reason for thumbs down, that is a valid question.\n\nIf an atheist is arguing that atheism will necessarily make one a better person, then those would be good examples to show to contradict their argument. \n\nBut most atheists aren't really arguing that, though I suppose some do. I think what most atheists are arguing is that religion does not necessarily make you a better person, which is why they bring up the examples of religious extremists, the Inquisition, etc. Remember, a common charge against atheists is that without God they necessarily must not have any morals, and thereby by implication that morals come from religion alone. It is that which atheists are arguing against. \n\nBut there can be no question that many have killed in the names of all sorts of ideas, whether they be religious ones, or atheistic ones.

Do Christians avoid non-Christians ?
