Is it normal that i have an intense dislike for christians?

Okay...This is going to be a bit long, for a detailed explaination I have to argue my points to make it seem less whiny...

I have been raised as a 'Somewhat Christian' my parents never pushed it on me and have always let me choose what I can believe in but I went to a Christian school.

So I don't know why I absolutley DISLIKE (Not hate..hate is too strong) the Christian faith, It's not like I was pushed into believing all that from my parents or anything. It's just...

-Most Christians I've ever met talk about it all the time
They say stuff like "Oh I thank God for this wonderful morning" and I just want to say "Yeah, okay. I don't care" It's like...Keep it to yourself, yes you can believe what you want I don't care I'm not trying to change that but can you just shut up about it and stop trying to tell me how amazing God is.

-They AlWAYS try to get you into Christianity
Whether it's a friend or someone on the street, one time or another I will be bombarded with quotes from the Bible or being told "God is amazing" Now, I used to try and be a Buddhist (Didn't work out) but I didn't tell anyone, not because I was ashamed or didn't want people to no, I thought it was something that I could just do and not bother anyone else with.

-They're constantly telling me I will go to hell
Yes, my MAIN problem with them, The "If you don't believe what I believe you will burn in hell" How Christian right? They talk about loving ones neighbour and being nice but they go on about how Athiests are some of the worst people on Earth, I'm not knocking God, I COULD think their was a God, I'm not completly doubting him, and It's not Christianity i hate, It's just the people who follow it, So I'm going tp hell? Okay then I really don't care 1. don't think there is one and 2. Id rather be somewhere where the Christians are not.

-They HATE gay people, transexuals...etc.
Right, let me get this straight..they tell me that I'm being bad because I dislike Christians but...They seem to hate everything that conflicts with their precious Bible, Leviticus 18:22 does state “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable" but that was what? 2000 years ago? (I apologise for my innacurate dates I'm not a History/Religion student) Yes, so it's very hypocritical, They are so horrible, especially that Baptist church that goes round saying 'God hates f*gs' I don't think he would, God loves all of his children.

Okay so, to be clear, I'm not knocking CHRISTIANITY just the Christians. So If you're a Christian who does none of this then I do apologise as this is a generalization of all the Christians I have met.

    I don't understand why you hate me, I'm a pretty cool person.

    1) I don't always talk about Christianity. In fact, it's pretty far down on my list of things I talk about with non-church folk. In more fact, if I want to have a good discussion of Christianity, I will do it with my church friends. If you could complain of me talking about anything too much, it's cars. I love talking about cars. And pokemon.

    2) I'm not always trying to get people into Christianity. But I will continue spreading the gospel of the V8 for the rest of my life.

    3) I don't believe I have ever told anyone that they are going to hell. Except for Ted Bundy. He's definitley going to hell. But even that is debatable. I'm not God.

    4) There are very few people that I actually LOATHE and not because of their sexual identity of preferences.

    Jerks are jerks. Religion is just a great catalyst to channel the energy of the negative into. Sorry if you've dealt with some bad Christians, and I can't speak for the rest, but I love my fellow man and no matter what any church official tells me, I know that I am in no way able to speak for God.

    What about Jehovahs witnesses? They're a type a Christian.. Do you hate them to? They go door knocking and some dedicate their life to do preaching work.. I've done bible study lessons with them and they seem like very nice people. I've heard people say they brainwash others into thinking god will someday save the world and all that stuff. But I think they're pretty genuine and average people

      Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate holidays. Even their own birthdays. Too sad for me to handle.

    I was also raised in a Christian family and I think you'r right about what you say in your post.

    Sure, Jesus said to go and make disciples of all nations, but they're going about it wrong and sometimes breaking other fundamental Christian principles in the process.

    Let me comment paragraph for paragraph...
    1. Even to other Christians, We already know how great God is, so it does get annoying if they keep telling us.
    2. Aren't they going about it wrong if their attempt to convert you pushes you further away...? They're obviously failing miserably in this then.
    3. It's not for them to decide whether you go to Heaven or Hell. They're not allowed to judge other people, that's something only God can do.
    4. Even if God hates gays (or rather he hates people being homosexual rather than the people themselves), It is not our business to hate them. God doesn't want his people hating each other.

    I feel as though hating on a group of people without considering that it is a group composed of individuals who may or may not feel the way that you have outlined is probably not a great thing to do.

    That being said, people who use their religion as a vessel for propagating hatred and violence are fair game in my book.

    I'm an Atheist. I don't dislike Christianity. It's the people I dislike. They're always trying to force their religion upon me. My best friend is a Christian. She doesn't want to be so up tight on religion. Her mother is very strict. Her mother wouldn't let her go to the school of her choice (Which is an excellent school; an art school) because there were 'supposedly' too many gays. My grandmother was a lesbian after my grandfather left her.
    I think its the people you dislike. It seems like they try to force the religion upon people and you are irritated.

    I am a christian and I don't feel that homosexuality is correct however I don't despise and detest homosexuals I would be friends with one. I feel that it is not man's job to punish or to condemn homosexuals to hell and damnation with words, and for theese reasons I accept homosexuals god loves all his children and it is not man's job to punish or judge.

  • Christianity is popular because it promotes forgiveness for those who have sinned, no matter how bad the commited sin is. Of course some Christians are going to be bad people that are trying to become better people.

    Ever since martin luther posted the 95 thesis on the vatican door, christianity diversity has sky-rocketed(or sooner, i'm also a disliker of christians and I have no real reason to study the entirety of the religion). there has been several "branches" of christianity, mostly where people make up there own beliefs on/of god(ex: lutherans, mormans, Baptists, etc.). It shows how easily the mind longs for satisfaction, especially on the great questions like: how'd we get here, what is our purpose? But through time, the thinkers propose new ideas and theorys on our coming about, and some are believed by several idiots, and even some intelligent people.....So even though it would seem easy to just "hate" religion, you need to realise it's only relative to the human nervous system, Ex: we wouldn't view murder, stealing or any crime wrong if we only viewed it relative TO the human nervous system.....the grass isn't green, dog's are color blind, to them, it's grey(most likely). on the other hand......Yes, I hate christianity but, through time Ihave learned that it's not the christians fault, it's his parents, and there parents, and all the way to the creator of the parables we call the bible, and then the creators parents. What this says is that people only believe what they want to believe, by relative to there up-bringing, and early views. granted in some cases(like my own), people stray from the path there parents have chosen, but in the end, they grow there views just like there parents and the child only coverges to the ultimate questions....and tries to find his/her own path, creating different theorys made relative to, the human nervous system..........Also, everything I said was my own opinions and theory( Gravity is a theory, jump off a fucking house and see how that ends up).

    If you are knocking Christians, then you are knocking Christianity also.

    There are all kinds of people in the world. Not all Christians are the same. You should not generalise the whole population of Christians based on those which you know.

    There are different branches of Christianity. And yes, the Bible says it all.

    They are not being hypocritical because they are sticking to what the Bible says.

    You, on the other hand, are disliking all Christians based on your personal views.

      That's kinda why he said if you're a Christian who doesn't do all that stuff, he's sorry for generalising. And they kinda are, the Bible clearly states you should love everyone, it's a recurring idea, yet one sentence about gays and apparently we need to kill them all. And no, not all Christians are like that, but there are some that seem to act that way and I think extremists like that are what OP's pissed about.
