people that ridicule christians affirm their faith.

I have noticed that many people go out of their way to insult christians and to throw mud on the christian faith. One person i saw on a post made a suggestion that christians have some of their right taken away. Why would people be so set against someones elses belief? Why is it such a obsession to some people to debunk christianity?
Jesus told his people that they would be ridiculed on account of him. It seems to me when people go out of their way to insult and take jabs at christians they are only making christs predictions accurate and thus it comes to a christians mind jesus spoke of this i will pray and remain strong in the faith. If anything people that sneer and blast christians just give christians more of a reason to pray and become closer to their god and to walk even stronger in their faith. Maybe in some cases the people that do this to christians are actually doing gods will to his followers stronger in their faith.

Maybe but then you'll find Christians that go out of their way to have a go at people who arent Christians. I dont think you can be attacked for believing it - what you believe is up to you but no religion is perfect and i guess people just like to point that out to reaffirm why they dont believe in it. But yeah I agree some people do go over the top.

What JackieMalfoy and you just said offends me somewhat, dear sir/madam. mad
Nobody does those sort of things to Jewish or Muslim people online here because:
1) Both Religions and peoples have suffered greatly over the last many centuries, (mostly at the hands of Christians <or amongst themselves> ), and most self-respecting people show both of the groups the proper respect that they both diserve.
And,
2) People don't want to get banned from the boards.

I daresay it's high-time that we start on the Christians. devil

What a joke!!! First of all not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is one. Also, there are extremes on all sides. But all and all Christian
bashing is always going on. Try this, watch TV for a week. Write down
1. Muslim 2. Buddha, 3. Christian 4. etc. and see for your self which ones get more bashes. Now on Monday turn in your reports. Or you'll get a detention.

You can blame people like that woman who was on "Wife Swap" last night for the type of negative publicity Christians often get.

First, "there are extremes on all sides" is an equivocally untrue statement.

Second, the assertion that all religions should be criticized equally is ridiculous because not all religions deserve the same degree of criticism.

There has never been an act of violence performed in the name of Buddhism. However, many acts of violence have been performed in the name of Christianity; from the Crusades, to the Spanish inquisition, to the Salem witch trials, to murdering abortion doctors, the list goes on.

Does Buddhism deserve the same amount of bad press as Christianity? Is it fair to compare the two? Your whole argument is ridiculous.

Although I do find some of your posts both entertaining or insightful, I have to admit that the use of your word Xian for Christian is annoying. It is not a real word (except when used in context of the city of Xian) nor is it a recognised substitute for Christian (as Xmas is for Christmas). I don't know if you created this word and are now trying to make it hip or fashionable, but whatever your reason, it is not working.

It is not for a love of Christianity that this bothers me, it's just out of respect for basic communication and language skills.

There are on the order of 1,500 denominations, para-church organizations, and other groups in the U.S. who consider themselves to be Christian. Added to this are thousands of independent Christian congregations which are not affiliated with a denomination.

One could assemble a random group of adults and ask each individual to sort the 1,000 groups into two piles: those which are "truly" Christian, and those that are not.

In some cases, an individual will select their own faith group as the only truly Christian denomination, and define all of the other 999 as sub-Christian, quasi-Christian, or non-Christian. Other individuals might say that all 1,000 denominations are Christian. Most likely, a given individual will select most of the 1,000 groups as Christian, and reject the others.

There is no possibility of reaching a common definition which would identify which groups are "truly" Christian, so for the purposes of this discussion, any individual who devoutly regards himself as Christian is Christian.

What I mean adam Poe, is that the title "Christian" does not make you one. It's your actions. There are extreme "Christians" tht to me don't much show that they are one. The crusades, for one, was barbaric in the name of God. Also the Inquisition, and many many other things. There are also extremists in other groups as well.

To be a Christian is just trying to follow Christs example. THAT'S IT.

Who are you to say those people were not true Christians? They were so devout in their belief in Christianity that they were willing to kill in the name of it. Surely, they would consider themselves Christians.

Because to be a Christian is to be Christ like, and some of the things that I've read they did, were torturous, and evil on both the Muslim and Christian sides. Though their motives were good, if indeed they were.

I don't think it's right to boil people alive, for instance, and that's some of the things they did.

That does not change the fact they are Christians.

Someone that forgives those that trespass' against them, someone that trys to help the needy, someone that does not condone violence and someone that trys to make the world a better place as christ taught. You have a "healthy" hatred for them ou?
by the way what nationality are you?
because anyone here who is germen i have news for you. Germen Nazis burned people in ovens. Now should we judge a germen man today for the crimes committed by germens in the past? Should you have a healthy hatred for germens??
Anyone here American? because i will tell you one thing if you are you personaly ( according to Low Hoo) are responsible for slavery. I think everyone should have a healthy hatred for americans as well don't you Low hoo?
Hey guys lets not forget to include anyone who has middle eastern decent ok? You should according to Low hoo have a great hatred for them because there have been middle eastern people that have killed women, for if they wish ,no reason and it is lawfull. How many people have been killed by terroeists?? yea i think you should hate them too don't you Low hoo?
So lets see so far you should have a healthy hatred towards americans germens anyone with middle eastern decent and christians. I am sure we can all hate the whole world if we try hard enough guys.
I wonder if its possible there are good americans? Maybe good germens???? maybe good middle easterners? now wait Low hoo, wrap your brain around this one, is it possible christians have done good things inn the world and there are many that are good people????
