Christianity = Biggest Target?

[Romeyo07]

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that Christianity is the largest target for religious attack. No other religion has taken on so many attacks, first physical, but now in books, movies, tabloids, etc.

Theories on why this might be?

This subject has been attempted in this forum before. Unfortunately, it didn't go very far.

are you serious? christianty has NOT received the most phyiscal attack
what about the crusades that the christians did? who were they attacking? muslims and jew
the holocaust, who was killed there? muslims and jews

so how are you honestly going to say that christians take the most physical attacks?

plus i can tell you why they take the most VERBAL attacks, thats because you all are supposed to lead this great life, but most dont. when someone attacks you arent you supposed to turn the other cheek? arent you supposed to not judge people?

maybe you are a good christian but the majority of poeple who call themselves christians are not. so that is why there are all these verbal attacks in papers, movies etc...

most people who call themselves christians do not follow what they preach

I agree Romeyo. make a thread about Atheisits or muslims and watch people called you stupid, racist, and a crazy right-wing facist. it's best to just ignore the Religon thread altogether. look who's talking :p

I'm not saying they've received the most physical attacks, just that Christianity has sparked violence (I acknowledge that others have as well). I mean now-a-days people are more bent on proving Christianity wrong than any other religion. You don't see movies or books trying to prove Muslims or Buddist wrong.

That brings me to my original question....why Christianity? Is it a threat...or is there something of value in it that someone's trying to hide or dismiss?

I'm just trying to spark good conversation.

seriously does this need an answer? american christianity boils down to this, the majority of people do not practice what they preach. i really don't give a shit what you are i don't believe in your god so it doesn't matter, but if you can't answer simple questions w/o saying let me ask my preacher... don't bother posting.

ok, gotcha, you just said physical

the reason i can tell is because most christians are hypocritical, i mean everyone is, but when people claim to be christian the morals and ideals of the religion should be followed. most christians say you should do a certain thing but yet do it themselves.

this is the thing that turned me away from chrisitianity and the thought that i dont need to identify with anyone to be a good person.

but thats beyond the point.

i mean most christians judge others based on others actions, when they should be judging themselves and trying to make themselves better not finding faults in others. im not bashing anyone im just saying it as ive seen

[Romeyo07]

I hear that a lot. Too many bad apples ruining the bunch. It only shows that we're humans and make mistakes.

I had a realtor really screw me back in Florida. Totally worked me the wrong way. Is it fair to say that all realtors will do that to me? Are they all crooked? No. Same thing with Christians. There are people out there that do the wrong things and make it look bad for the rest of them (like me).

Come as you are...this should be all Christians motto.

Don't need the preacher...ready to go whenever you are.

BTW, I'm enjoying this debate across the boards.

how so? ive only seen one point you've tried to make
and that would be calling me someone who bashes christianity

that was not proven

[{X}Echo419]

come on, I'm not going through all your posts again and posting them here. I've got better things to do.

Why are you allowing our Fathers children to turn you away from Him? These are imperfect human beings and you are judging the Father based on His children's action. Accept the Son and live your life according to what you believe is good in the eye's of the Father.

True. However not eveyone that claims to be Christian actually is.
The Bible says "ye shall know them by their works..." and as you put it, if you say one thing and do another then you are not what you say.

this is the thing that turned me away from chrisitianity and the thought that i dont need to identify with anyone to be a good person.

All I can say to that is this...dont let the hypocracy of others get in your way. Their lack of practical application of Christian principles is their problem.
THEY will have to answer for that.
We are all individual citizens in the kingdom of God. We're not judged or 'saved' by groups or affiliation so youre correct on that point in a way. We're judged by our own works, not the quantity but the QUALITY.
I wouldnt let any person or group of persons keep me away from a personal relationship with my Creator. Neither would I throw the baby out with the bath water. Make sense? Not judging you at all or speculating about you. Just addressing your point.

Sadly this is also true. Again, not everything/everyone labeled as 'christian' is in fact Christian in practice. The Bible says "Judge not that YE be not judged..." and the way you judge others is the way you will be judged...Christians should remember that!

thats not the reason i dont believe in god, that was the reason i did not consider myself a "christian" when i did believe

[Romeyo07]

so what made you not believe in God?

[Hulud]

so what made you not believe in God?

a bunch of personal things that im not gonna share on the net, but if i meet you and talk to you in person i will gladly share

[Romeyo07]

I can appreciate that. I would come out to that lunch on friday but I'm heading up to NC for the weekend. Maybe next month.
