Why the world hates Christians

[jennifer_bloom]

I used to be jealous of a girl who had done everything I had tried to do and done it better than me because she would always drive me out of the discussion and when I tried to make new friends, she would steal them me by showing off and appearing to be more interesting then me.

I had a dream when I wondered why she was always stealing my spot light and in my dream God said, I had less recognition than her because I was pursuing God’s Honour, while she was pursuing her own honour, and they could relate to her, but could not relate to me.

In my family, I find the people who hate God, also hate me, and mostly all my friends are people who believe in God, cause everybody else has an issue with my faith In Him and being Chinese, mostly everybody in my social circle is secular or atheist.

I was hated by mostly all my family because they could not relate to me and did not understand me. They made up lies about me being jealous or ungrateful because they did not understand how people like me think.

Recently, a woman I’ve known for years says she still doesn’t know who I am. People can’t relate to me because I’m spiritually different from them, both in character and disposition and motives.

[ravagesavage]

Because the world is lover of darkness rather than light. They don't want to be feel exposed by God and change from their ways.

[all_hayl]

This, more or less.

[Zodiac10]

Matthew 10:22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake:but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

[Zodiac10]

Why is there an emoji it's supposed to be "but"

[WilliamPamer446]

yeah people are mean to real true christians cuzthey choose to be willfully ignorant

[WilliamPamer446]

Satanically influenced cultural drama makes christians hated.

[ikEVERYTHING]

Well, it's not as much but it's there and I'll explain. Secularism, Secularism is one main thing. People don't want to live by laws whether they benefit or not. People have bad interpretations of history, they take for instance the treatment of native Americans by Puritans as their grounds for denying religion, when the Bible doesn't necessarily condone that, to my knowledge. As a muslim I can tell you sometimes their ignorance and stubbornness is something that hurts your brain, especially when they use christian history for other religion "we can't have shariah law! Don't you see what happened when the colonizers came (protestant christians)" or something that sounds as stupid as that. You also have people using the crusades as a grounds to show catholics being bad, which we can argue on some things in the crusades, but the main thing they use is them killing innocent jews and Muslims who weren't fighting. They use this to show why catholicism is bad but the reality was that this was heavily condemned by the actual church officials and instead an act of individual groups many times. The world hates religion because they don't understand it and it happens even between us. Evangelicals hate Muslims because they think we're going to kill them and Muslims fear all Christians as a result because we fear persecution because of some groups. Some Christians hate jews and many jews hate Christians. Be in, this is all mostly rooted in misunderstanding each other or even their own faiths. As someone who studies these things as a hobby and has many friends of all faiths, especially orthodox and catholics after Muslims, and I love my jew homies, I can tell you, in reality we are all super similar and suffer from the same plague of Secularism and its false teachings not just of how they think society should work, but even their teachings of our faiths.

[t-8900]

You're that Latino Muslim convert right? Saw you before. I respect you for being strong in your faith. There is something that binds all people of faith. I don't think it's honestly discipline. I'm takes a lot to follow the laws laid out for us. Throwing those texts away is the easy way out. But I think it's a grave mistake.

[Aethereal]

From my observation, the world doesn't "hate" Christians. Globalization has led to a trend in society towards accommodating the different religions that exist. No longer does one country completely follow one faith. In the distant past, you could get killed for even being the wrong kind of Christian. The 30 years war in Europe started over this exact thing.

In the modern world, there is emphasis on secularism. Separation of church and state in Politics (where the church had once been very influential). This is a good thing because many religions (including Christianity) are usually hostile to others (and to Atheists and Agnostics). I think what some religious people see as hatred is simply frustration; if you try to convert/preach your beliefs to someone who isn't interested in them, they'll start avoiding you. The same can be said for people who try to convince others of their political and social beliefs. Religions and their followers seldom like to agree to disagree.

I used to be Christian, but I became an Atheist at the end of my teenage years. I don't hate Christians or any religious person. But I believe religion is a personal thing. As long as you believe, and are happy/fulfilled, more power to you. I only start getting wary when religious people start trying to convert me. It feels like a breach of mutual respect, like my own beliefs don't matter. I can see why a religious person might then feel hated; if my response to their conversion attempt is to try to convert them as well (since I don't tolerate anyone suggesting that my opinions/beliefs are less important than theirs). Some people might feel attacked, because they thought they were only trying to save my soul, never considering that I might have felt attacked as well by them belittling my beliefs.

The key thing we all need to learn is mutual respect for each other's beliefs (insofar as those beliefs do not seek to endanger others' lives).

[Youryeodongsaeng]

They think because since you rely on God, it's affecting what you really want to do. They think you're some goody-two-shoes.

People who are religious always do what their beliefs tell them to. They use that as guidance. This makes them seem like that they can't guide themselves. It seems like you people will let some belief rule your life.

I'm an atheist and I think that all of this god-believing mess has been taken too far. I don't know what y'all hear or see, but I believe that there's nobody there to begin with.
The most logical thing I can say, is that we don't know for sure if there really is someone out there. Literally. What proof do we even have? Bibles have been written down for hundreds of thousands of years, so there's a chance that today's Bible does not have the same stories as the ones from B. C. and A. C.
Keep in mind that Jews wrote the Bible, then when the people who were born speaking English discovered about it, many has translated the Bibles, but we are not sure how accurate translating was in B. C. and A. C. But this is just my theory on how the Bibles gotten into the hands of English-speakers.

I personally think that those Bibles lacks enough evidence that any of those stories actually existed.

You Christians just like the idea and theories about there being an actual God out there. I'm the type of person who doesn't believe things without proof and evidence; just like the police department.

I do not understand why y'all are believing in stories like that. It's like reading Twilight and thinking that Vampires and Werewolves are real.

[Miya123]

The bible was able to fortell events thousands of years before they happened and every single detail was right. All how did all of us get here? How did the earth get here, how did the universe get here? How were the things on it made perfectly to accommodate everyone, you know the exact amount of the tree forest were put there so that we could live. The mechanism of the human body is perfect and very specific who thought it out and planned everything perfectly. The world was perfect that's how God made it, it was corrupted by Satan who thought he was better than him because of him sins exist and people suffer. I can definitely say God is real, I worked on getting closer to him and my life is the better than it used to. I got out of situations that I shouldn't have got out of. His timing is perfect and he has helped my mom greatly and I will also appreciate him for that.

[YukiCho]

The bible is a giant book of contradictions, mistranslations, and hypocrisy. It's funny how the people in here are calling people who aren't Christians "brainwashed" when they themselves are.
The evidence is there to show that the bible now is basically completely false. Changed throughout time by the hands of rulers. Mistranslated countless times. It's a book written by the hands of people, not a deity. The dreaded mark of the beast apparently "666" shown in original scriptures to actually be "616."
The bible didn't predict anything, there was no direct detail. The whole "end times" stuff was describing events that were already happening at the time. And it was just predicted to get worse as time went by.

[Anonymous]

Probably because you Christians have a dark past of raping women, children, accusing people of being witches, and killing those who didn’t worship your god even if they never harmed you. Sure some other religions did, but not as hard as yours. The Christian Atrocity is perfectly fine example.


You literally took pagan holidays and tried your best to cover it up and make it your own. Christmas is great example since it’s a pagan holiday and Santa Claus is really the god, Odin who rode on his horse. Then the Dutch Christians changed it to Santa Claus who rides in a sled pulled by deer. Jesus was actually born around September or October, but of course you slide that over a pagan holiday to get people to follow your religion and make it sound more important.


Easter was a pagan festival day too. Look what that turned into. There’s theories that Jesus actually escaped to France and married Mary Magdalene. Especially since DNA evidence proves it since people today directly are related to them.


Lastly in today’s world most of you Christians pester and harass others into joining your religion. If people want to join they totally can on their own terms. There’s no need to fight them on it just to “save” them. If they want to be “saved” by your god that’s their choice to make.

[all_hayl]

Satan rules this world (and has deceived the world so that the the world does not realize it). Satan is 100% opposed to God and to us, so it makes complete sense that the “world” hates God. Plus, it was basically predicted/prophesied by Jesus (John 15:18). The Truth sets us free (John 8:32), which people desperately need, but people don’t realize it because they are comfortable (and deceived) in their selfish, irresponsible (yet destructive) ways. These truths seem like foolishness to the world because we need God to reveal the truth to us (1 cor 2:10, 1 cor 3:19, etc etc). Without His help and revelation, the truth appears as nonsense (“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” and “it is more blessed to give than to receive” can seem like nonsense to those who are not spirit-filled). I could write an essay on this so I’ll leave it at that.

[Desire-for-Greatness]

Satan doesn't rule anything. He will burn in hell just like the sinners who follow him.

This is a very wrong misconception Christians get.

Satan is not powerful, those who listen are weak or evil.

[all_hayl]

@Desire-for-Greatness Howdy. Check out 2 Corinthians 4:4. It should help clear up your confusion. Satan TEMPORARILY rules the world because God allows him to - as a result of our sinful choices. That’s the nutshell version. I’m not going to get into a debate about this. You, of course, can believe whatever you want. Cheers! 👍

[Friendlybro79]

There are more Christians in the world than any other religion with over 2.38 billion followers. The entire world does not hate Christians. I see more hatred from Christian to Christian with the division between catholics, born again, protestant, Lutheran, methodist, evangelicals etc. I'm sure you're a good person and a good Christian. This isn't a dig on you personally or your beliefs.

Unfortunately, some people in the world are just hateful and it's sad. If you're in an abusive existence within your family, and it's really bad, then take yourself out of that environment. You should be able to be you and they should still at the least be civil to you.

[jaybee281]

I'm sorry to hear this - To be honest with you I don't think I'd be any better at understanding you spiritually because I'm agnostic myself - My family is quite religious I don't really care about that it actually makes for nice debates but it doesn't affect my love for them or their love for me - So first I'm not sure if it's you being a Christian that is the issue - although it could be - Since that I guess 1 Christian being around many atheists is much worse than 1 atheist being around many religious people - and now I understand the panda profile..

[Desire-for-Greatness]

Jennifer did you remove one of my comments on one of your posts?

If so, I have to wonder: are you here to spread your thoughts without having any sort of discussion?

Why waste such a good opportunity to learn?

I'm honestly surprised you removed my post. I'm not your enemy. I'm a friend. We have the same goal. Spreading the truth.

The only difference is the method. If one of us has the wrong method they better hope they find out before they pass on and don't get the chance to repent.

God bless.

[Apulu_3]

If you see then all religions are hated and even loved. I'm not very religious but I do believe in the power which created everyone. I am not that person who prays all the time but I neither disrespect or hate anyone doing that. You shouldn't care what others are thinking of you because it is your life in the end you will want to live it the way you want to. I was also hated because of my religion even though I'm not religious. Don't care about racists they will just come and go.

[MJtheCoach]

Nobody is more hated than the person who speaks the truth!


Also because everything that’s happening in the world is controlled by Satan worshipers who hide themselves as atheist.


And Bible has predicted everything.
Which is why they’re so much hate in white people and christianity.


As they’re most woken people in the world. We’re currently under revelations. And 90% of people are totally clueless about the steps of mark of the best.


While hidden under health

[SmilesAintAgirl14]

are you high? cultist.

[MJtheCoach]

Our society has became so dumber down. That anytime you try to speak anything deep the brain totally wants to blow up. And morons like you come up with idiotic responses.

[SmilesAintAgirl14]

people can beleive what they want though? stop shoving your religion down everyone's throat.

[MJtheCoach]

You shoving your own ignorance down peoples throat with your lack of experience and having a soft life pussified life.

[SmilesAintAgirl14]

i-i can't right now. you are being such a sesquipedalian. stop using big words to try and intimidate me, it doesn't make you smart, you're just annoying. also, "pussified"? is that even a word?

[Xtcy2083]

Atheists don't "worship Satan". Where did you get that weird idea from? Do you even know what an atheist is?

[Xtcy2083]

The Bible predicted nothing. Every "prediction" turned out wrong.

[MJtheCoach]

You look at your own self and then do you think the whole world is the same regardless atheist people can’t find God for the same reason why a thief can’t find a policeMan! Just because you’re a hateful lonely person doesn’t mean that everything is fake Bible predicted a lot of stuff they have already came true and is coming true but like I said something you don’t want to believe in no matter how truthful it is you can just disregard it by making that stupid statement as you did.

[nawtee_me]

John 15: 17-19
17This is My command to you: Love one another. 18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.…

Proverbs 29:27
An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.

[ADFSDF1996]

It’s in prophecy that in the end times Christianity will become stigmatized by society but do not despair for Christianity will eventually triumph against all adversaries.

[YukiCho]

It's not end times though.

[t-8900]

We're clearly somewhere in Revelation right now. That much is a abundantly clear

[YukiCho]

Not at all. We're just in a bad place. Albeit a better one from when the book was written. Ever thought about that? The events described in end times aren't new to this era. It's always happened. It just got worse as time went. It was easy to see patterns. What better way to scare people into following someone than to tell them the world was ending.

[t-8900]

Outright rejection of God? Legalization of Abortion? The spread of secularism? The spread if the lukewarm Christians? The bastardization of the faith? The rise in out of wedlock children? The rate if failed marriages? Globalization? Robots an AI poising to replace us? I don't know feels like it to me.

[YukiCho]

I doubt there was speaking of robots/AI or abortion in there. But sure.
The rest of that was most definitely happening back then. Atheism isn't a new thing. Neither is Buddhism. Or you know, any other religion that doesn't have a god. And existed far prior to Christianity.
The reason people hate extremist Christians is because they believe they're the only valid religion and shun others for simply existing. Gives a bad name for everyone. The cult like mentality blinds them to the fact that there is hundreds of religions. All the more reason to take "rejection of God" a little too seriously.

[t-8900]

Well you have to understand that to be a Christian you need to accept scripture too. Other religions are heresy, yes. It s what is mentioned. Now it never teaches to hate or shun, just spread the word. So you can tell/teach but you need to accept when others won't and just treat them normal and hope they come around on their own so they don't damn themselves. The idea of shunning and casting out is mostly from old testament. However there are reasons it can be done. One you could be dragging family name and honor through the mud and that could hurt business, marriage, and political prospects or insult the faith. It should be reserved for certain situations only and in certain settings only. If you lived in a small village and you need a marriage alliance but one of you daughters is the talk of the town or your son is a violent criminal it made the whole family look bad. Nowadays it's not as much an issue. Marriage alliances don't really spy anymore except maybe among the elite class in certain situations.

[YukiCho]

The scriptures are pretty much entirely false. Written by the hands of people. Nothing more nothing less. If you pay attention to them, you can see the hypocrisy and contractions. Not a good idea to listen to something like that, huh? People are still getting killed for believing in a different religion, and Christians here act like it's the end of the world when someone gets an abortion.
You're saying to treat non-believers normal, are they not human anymore because they don't believe in God?

[t-8900]

Okay you're not a Christian right? Just to clarify?

[YukiCho]

I am not. I was raised a Buddhist. However, I am currently an Omnist.

[t-8900]

@YukiCho right so with all do respect and I sincerely do mean with ALL DO RESPECT unless you've read the last few chapters of The New Testament then how can you say one way or another? What you think is a good thing might not be based on our studies. You don't know Revelations or what its truly all about. But if you're the studious type and all go read it and go from Revelations to the very end of the Bible. I promise its not such a long read but it would give you perspective. There's nothing wrong with reading the Torah, Bible, or Koran just to better understand something. I promise this is not at all a conversion attempt lol.

[YukiCho]

I have read them. I've read scriptures from many, many religions. Christianity in particular I spent time reading most of them. Including Revelations, I still have the books somewhere on my shelf. I have also read the Quran, to see differences. The New Testament is the worst of the offenders when it comes to very big contradictions.
My point still stands, the scriptures hold little to no meaning at all once you take into consideration the many flaws of it's writing. Even the older testaments and their maniacal sins. According to the older books, you shouldn't be wearing mixed fabrics, God doesn't like that.

[t-8900]

There's actually a gagger on here that is ethnic Jew and also grew up in the Church. She will could share a lot about it, the fabrics, shell fish, pork, all that. I found The New Testament life Changing. Some of those little things from the Old Covenant were for reasons based around politics, tribal conflicts, in the case of shell fish it really was dangerous to eat and pork carried diseases we got rid with h modern farming practices

[YukiCho]

It only really further puts my statement to validity.
"This is dangerous. Let's just tell them this is bad in a fairytale we'll write into the bible."
I just don't see any truth in it all.

[t-8900]

I disagree. I don't think what you said is t ye just your perspective. But it you tell people their religion is a lie and say hen complain when they blow up I mean... it's like playing with a lighter at a gas pump. For me my religion is very important and life changing. Just because you don't like it or respect it doesn't mean it's not true or that it's not extremely important. I never said anything about your own religion even though I have my perspective on it too now did I?

[YukiCho]

I don't complain, I just explained why people do. I gave my perspective on why I believe a great majority of Christianity is a lie.
The reason you didn't give one on mine is because, well, you don't know mine. I was raised Buddhist. But that sparked me into Omnism. Currently right now I have my own beliefs. I created them based off of many religions, as I believe every and all religion holds truth in some way. Yes, I do believe some select few things in Christianity are true. I am not the only one who believes the exact same beliefs I do.

[t-8900]

Sounds like the weak of faith Jews who made the golden bull while Moses was up on the mountains. That's exactly what this reminds me of actually. God, religion, you conform to Him/it not you. To think nk otherwise comes from a self absorbed mindset if you ask me. But to each their own. You don't need to know someone to have an opinion on their beliefs. As you say my religion is false I say yours is heresy. And so there is no progress made and the only thing we are left with is insults. This is not a way to conduct and it shouldn't have needed to go there.

[YukiCho]

Calling my religion heresy is calling your own that same thing. I don't believe in God. I despise the idea of and hate the God depicted in Christianity. I believe in Consciousness, simply put. Something brought up in quite a lot of religions, just never put into detail as no one understands it really. This is besides the point. My religion is made up of every religion. Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc.. Calling the religion as a whole heresy is wrong. You'd be calling every religion including yours heresy.
However, I can see in your eyes how my beliefs in particular are. I just wanted to clear that up, not every Omnist believes the exact same way I do. So don't blame the religion as a whole.
The same said for you though, it's a grand majority of Christians in the United States that make everyone else look bad. That was my explanation of the OP's question. My beliefs on Christianity though, is just something I wanted to elaborate on.

[t-8900]

Not really. You're either in or out with God. There is no in between so if you actually knew about Christianity you know all about the lukewarm. I'd you don't believe in the bible then you have no baseline for belief in anything to do with Christianity so you might as well remove that from your list tbh. If I was actually at my computer I would show you all the verses that highlight everything wrong ng with your claims.

[t-8900]

And I only now see you he other half of your post. I can't do this well over the phone it's too hard sorry. I'll try to respond properly tomorrow if I remember but these damn phones are not made for xl men's hands

[ADFSDF1996]

@YukiCho

1.) Far left wingers controlling the media

2.) Christianity being attacked globally like never before

3.) Far Left wingers attacking our constitution

4.) Far left wingers using our schools to indoctrinate the youth

5.) Far left wingers taking over big businesses

And the list goes on and on.

[YukiCho]

And you're basing it all on politics.
Thanks for proving my point that this is all just, ridiculous.

[ADFSDF1996]

@YukiCho Believe it or not many current political issues correlate with biblical prophecy. It’s not my fault you can’t comprehend the correlation.

[YukiCho]

Not at all. Once again, this kind of stuff has always been happening in government. You think that the government now is bad, then go back a few hundred years to a different country.
The United States isn't the only county in the world. I find it astonishing how you only base your "biblical prophecies" off of the USA.

[t-8900]

@YukiOne world powers dictate the world. In the Bible it talks about the Great Whore of Babylon. See if you actually read you'd know all the connections. The destruction of marriage, legalization of Abortion, promiscuity, and bye Christians in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East suffer much persecution. Many Churches are being burned down. We have new diseases being spread that are manmade like Covid which keeps evolving and may end up forming a strain we can't fight. We also have food shortages. And we have been I constant wars. We will see if/when there are 7 years of peace in this country.

[ADFSDF1996]

@YukiCho When did I say that this stuff is only happening in the USA?

[YukiCho]

@t-8900 I did read. And that's why I'm still arguing against this bullshit. If you literally looked into history, and studied around the time the events described in the bible happened. You would see quite literally everything it describes was happening back then. People were afraid of dominant countries taking others over. Because conquest was a problem then. Places were being burned down all the time because someone hated the ideas of a church and no one could stop them. There is no mention of abortion or whatever other modern ideas. The reason I'm not drawing correlations to modern times, is because it's literally just not true and purely getting worse due to population rising.

[YukiCho]

@ADFSDF1996 It's quite obvious since there is not any other country that does political stuff as bad as we do. Your mention of "far left wingers" gave it away.

[ADFSDF1996]

@YukiCho Every country has it’s left wing clowns. Just look at the UK, Canada and Australia.

[YukiCho]

The UK doesn't have "left wing clowns" because they're not a Capitalist Democracy. They're a monarchy, there is no political parties. They're doing things a lot better than us, as goes for most of Europe. Australia, again, doesn't really have political parties. Canada is the same case, doesn't really have political parties. It's, astonishing how they're all doing better than us, and have less issues than we have here.
All of the problems you mentioned are first world problems.

[t-8900]

@YukiOne population has nothing to do with it. We aren't the ones popping babies, that's the third world. And it's been shown that if not for western interventions into these countries they wouldn't even been having population booms. There's plenty of untapped land by the way. Again this is why bye, you cannot claim to be a Christian on any level. If you don't subscribe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh and Blood the Holy Son you literally are NOT a Christian. Do deny that is to deny everything else about Christ. And if you say you don't believe in the teachings in the bible you have literally nothing to go off of in terms of what His message was. So kindly stop saying you're all good these different religions at the same time. That's impossible! And that would be like someone claiming to be Muslim but saying Mohammad was not a prophet. It doesn't work that way. You're just like the people worshipping idols while Moses was away getting the Commandments. God does shape Himself to cater to you. You shape yourself according to His will. This whole thing is a farce.

[ADFSDF1996]

@YukiCho Wow you really don’t know anything about politics do you? Every country has political parties with the exception of totalitarian countries where there is only one party.

The UK has political parties, clearly you never heard of the House of Commons parliamentary parties.

[YukiCho]

Can you read? That's crazy that you tell me I cannot claim to be a Christian, when I outright said I wasn't Christian. In fact I claimed nothing of what you said, I even stated my own religion. The scriptures from I've read from different religions, which I never once stated I believed much of anything they had to say. I just stated that I believe all religion hold some truth.
Maybe if you weren't so dense you would be able to understand what I said. So quit trying to lecture me about your faith, quit trying to explain to me the stories and this stuff about "you shape yourself to his will." Don't pray for me to be saved. Just stop, I'm done with this now. This is like speaking to a brick wall. If God wants me dead he'll kill me for talking down on the religion. I don't believe he exists, so I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

[YukiCho]

If there's people like this on this app, I'm actually deleting my account. There is no hope

[t-8900]

@YukiCho "Calling my religion heresy is calling your own that same thing."

Impossible unless claiming to be Christian. If you read scripture you would know how asinine that statement is.

"My religion is made up of every religion. Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc.. Calling the religion as a whole heresy is wrong. You'd be calling every religion including yours heresy."
Its like claiming to be 10% this and 10% that including Christian. You are in all together or not. So you scribble out the part about my religion because it's an impossibility according to the Gospel. This is a "play it safe" tiptoe approach. Cherry picking what you want and claiming this or that to be God or the way, or how life is meant to be. No, that's not how it works. You might as well just claim to be an Agnostic Theist.

[Subarugirl]

The world doesn't hate real Christians, they hate the hypocrisy, the sexism, and all of the atrocities done in the name of Christianity. And quite frankly I think the world is just sick of having self-righteous jerks trying to shove their beliefs down their throats.
I mean just take a look at the Catholics, the Later Day Saints, and Baptists...

[Babygirl_S]

Good thing that you stopped being jealous but honestly the world doesn't hate Christians. Never heard of that before. But I have read about "dot busters" and men who insult Muslim women (I wonder why the women become the targets of these primarily white Christians)

[TheBigGuy9]

People don’t like rules. And the fact that Rationalization is the second strongest human drive, many people convince themselves such isn’t so. Then we have people that are easily brainwashed into thinking such.

[Hulk30]

i really dont think ya can follow God and hate any one because hates not a part of God's character respectfully ill say that many people athiest even more so but many religious people are confused about what spirituality really is but they're much closer to it than athiest are i think and i dont believe in God the reality of him reasonates with my spirit to believe in God or anything by definition implies doubt in the existance of God

[najekim]

Christians have:
Destroyed numerous cultures;
Killed those who wouldn't convert;
Think theirs is the "one true religion";
Allowed the clergy to force themselves into the personal lives of followers;
A few other issues.

[admles]

You mean the people who used to torture and kill anyone who wouldn't follow their beliefs?

Christians act like they are SO persecuted lol, when they were the biggest perpetrators of said acts all throughout history

[HughDogg]

I've got news for you... if you think the world hates christians you are mistaken. The majority of the worlds population is christian so it's safe to assume that they are not the most hated group of people.

How many of said Christians are practicing? How many have just not announced they are no longer? How many are apart if a denomination that contradicts scripture or is lukewarm? I very much doubt official numbers are accurate tbh.

Actually. Its mostly because of the cases of child abuse and the wars by Christian majority countries
