Why do christianity get so much hate?

[stvdv]

I don't have to watch the video to know that it is a bunch of sad hogwash. And I am a Christian. Some things have been so greatly and horribly distorted (like the term 'hell') that unless a person is willing to really study the Bible and what it means, there can be no resolution by humans.

I know "This Truth, fact, is uncomfortable"

No, it's not that -- I'm telling you that there are many misconceptions in religion, and it is helpful for a person to have an open mind when learning. None of us are born with a mindset in a religion. As a song said years ago, "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught." From the show South Pacific, about being taught hatred. Worth listening to.

With that I agree

Biggest misconception:
"Only Jesus can safe us", as it invalidates all others their Faiths and or beliefs

The future will tell, as far as I am concerned. Although I do believe that the future of mankind lies entirely in God's hands by means of Jesus Christ. But let's say that's true (that only Jesus can save us), what do you think that could mean? About salvation, I mean...

I appreciate your desire and effort to control yourself. That is wonderful and is actually I believe a godly quality. Galatians 5 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
So self-control is part of the fruit of God's spirit.

Thanks. I aimed to practice self control as a christian but I wasnt given the tools to do so. For example, deep breathing is a basic and effective tool for contolling yourself. That tool has proven to help me follow through with the fruits of the spirit better.

Not true

IF all Christians were humane, say humanists, there would be no hate at all

IF you are good THEN others won't hate you, except those who feel superior

There is only one reason for hate towards Christians, and that is their Superiority Complex. Just look it up "why was Hitler, known for his German Supremacy belief, hated so much" ... Hitler felt superior and Jews were inferior to him and his followers

Unless Christians END their Christian Supremacy
they will be hated, and destroy themselves in the process, just like Hitler was destroyed

Christian Supremacy is the poison in the world

The main flaw in the Abrahamic faiths, is their exclusivism, which gives them a superiority complex and undermines the good qualities that they strive for. One cannot be humble and have a superiority complex at the same time. It causes people to be arrogant in their displays of humility and passive aggressive when they attempt to turn the other cheek.

Besides the Jews living there, there were also Arabs. The early Zionists got along fine with them. There was a lot of mutual cooperation.

There was no problem until someone suggested forming a Jewish nation. THAT is when Arabs got all up in arms. It was fine with them for Palestine to be occupied, so long as it was occupied by a Muslim empire or state, even one that abused them, as when the area was controlled by Transjordan. The problem was the suggestion that Jews be in charge. And that springs solely from antisemitism.

If they were living fine with the Arabs, why aim to make a jewish nation. Its like Zulus in my country saying they want to make a Zulu nation, or Afrikaaners wanting a Afrikaner nation. The very thought is antagonistic and implies one tribe to rule them all.

So let the Christians be taught better that their's is just another belief with no evidence of God, son, prophets, holy ghost, soul, heaven, hell, judgment or deliverance; and in no way superior to beliefs in other religions and certainly inferior to what some other religions teach. You just plagiarized Judaism and fraudulently got a copy-right on that. Get off your high horse and you would not be hated.

I can totally get behind Zulus saying they want their own nation. As a fellow indigenous people, they have a connection to the land that Afrikaners don't.

Not when it comes to the whole of the country though, where they establish themselves as the leader over everybody or push others out to establish their state.

In the case of Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is NOT targeting civilians, much less children. These people are dying due to the Hamas policy of embedding among civilians, WHICH IS A WAR CRIME. Please stick the blame where it belongs.

I am sure it will be a great comfort to parents burying their dead children, to be told that Israel didn’t target them.

What hate? Can you give examples of what you're referring to?

If you were referring to muslims, then I wouldn't have to ask; I know they get subjected to plenty of hate.

Well earned

I've been told I'm going to hell so many times that I'm looking forward to the trip.

Are you under the mistaken impression that Israelis push non-Jews out? Not the case. Arab-Israelis have the same rights under the laws as Jews. In fact, there are Arab-Israelis in the Knesset, as they participate in the governance of Israel.

Are you implying that there is no difference between targeting children, and killing children by accident? If you get into a car crash because you make a mistake, and a child dies, the parents will not take comfort in the fact that their children were not targeted for murder. SO??????? Your attempt to make these things morally equivalent is disgusting.

Where is your outrage at Hamas, who actually DO target babies???

Disgusting.

I have enough outrage to go round Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IDF thanks. All of whom seem to have no qualms about killing innocent people; in the case of the IDF, on an industrial scale.

The wholesale slaughter of innocents is quite simply unjustifiable, regardless of who the killers claim to be targeting.

If I do a survey of all your posts in here, what do you think would be your ratio of anti-Hamas posts compared to anti-Israel posts?

Again, putting collateral damage on the same moral level as targeting little kids, that's just disgusting to me.

Do the survey and get back to me. Pretty sure my condemnation of all parties to this horror has been equal and unequivocal.

I suspect you and I both believe that the people doing the killing, Hamas, Hezbollah, their leaders, the IDF, Netanyahu, all of them, will one day have to stand naked before their God and justify themselves. How do you think that’s going to go, for any of them?
