    What's with the hostility towards Christians?

    Lately, it seems to be getting more and more popular to blatantly attack the Christian faith. Now here on ffr have yet to see this happen so I am NOT talking about any of you.
    These attacks usually consist of talking quotes from the bible and using them out of context. Here is an example: http://rwor.org/a/1270/bible-quotes.htm

    If not that it, is usually just spouting nonsensical, anti religious speeches that really
    , when it comes down to it childish and full of gaping holes.

    EX:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRVUlIz_ruE

    I guess what I would like to know is why? what's the reason for all this?
    all I would like is an explanation, I believe these people are within their full rights to free speach when they say these things, and I don't want to insult anyone.

                ^ Don't watch if you're a religious zealot.
                It's not necessarily all christians that are hated, it's the zealots that push christianity on others. EVEN OTHER CHRISTIANS.

                Allow me to tell you a quick story. I work at a movie theatre, and last week we had the movie Knowing. A lady had come up and asked me my opinion on the movie, and I told her it was good but that I found the ending to be a little wierd.

                She came back after the movie saying "So you found the end of the movie wierd?", to which I replied "Yes, the whole alien thing was a little wierd to me." Upon my saying that, she launched into a whole rant on how they weren't aliens, but angels, and that the children were the only ones saved because they were innocent, and that if I didn't believe that I would burn in hell when the rapture came. I explained to her that I understood her view, as I was raised on the bible, but that that was not how I saw it, upon which she went on ranting. So I told her to leave.

                People like that are one of the many reasons that Christians have such a bad reputation.

                  I myself am a christian and that story you linked to is outrageous.

                  the bible is not a book of rules that you must live by.

                  the only 'rules' that we must follow are those of the ten commandments.

                  all the other parts of the bible are all stories, yes they are true, and thats the way things were back then, the bible is not encouraging us to kill kids who swear.

                  Hentai: i would like it if you stopped referring to christians as a whole.

                  there are christians out there who take the bible WAY too seriously, answering every question with some quote from the bible, living 'perfect' lives and think theyre above everyone else.

                  I personally think that is wrong.

                  there are different types of christians but the main thing we have in common is that we believe in christ.

                  the other stuff that happens depends on the actual person, not the religion.

                  TATOR TOT: you pretty much summed it up perfectly.

                    given that Christianity is the biggest religion in the world still and a vast majority of the USA it must be awfully hard to feel persecuted

                      ah, yeah, sorry about that, didn't really mean to refer to ALL Christians, just a few/a lot I know about and have seen.

                      Sorry if I offended you.

                        Probably because religion is a joke and the bible is completley out of context within itself.

                          Re: What's with the hostility towards Christians?

                          Christianity has been attacked on FFR many times before.

                          I think a good reason why is because the Christian faith is offensive to anyone who doesn't accept that they are going to judged for their sins and go to hell. If one chooses not to believe in Christ and follow his ways, they're going to Hell because they have sinned (which is turning away from god's commandments which is the same as not choosing to do what we know is right because God's law is in our hearts) and on Judgement Day God judges us acording to our deeds.

                          But Jesus paid the price of our sins for those that believe in him, and will be made right in God's eyes.

                          Also the Christian belief is higher than any other in the whole world so it's even easier to attack Christians.

                            I really don't understand how grown intellectual people believe in a mystical man in the sky. Probably either because they fear death and want there to be more after that or it's something their parents told them to believe and they still do or they're just following the norm, since it's still the majority.

                              The problem with telling us that we're going to go to this place you invented to punish evildoers is that every religion basically tells us the same thing. So unless you believe in every religion on the planet, you're going to go to each individual religion's place for people who don't believe in their religion. At the same time, these same religions tell us that we're not allowed to believe in more than one. So, we die either way, right? Then what's the point?
