I absolutely cannot stand Christians. I hate having friends who are Super-Christians, I hate having to listen to Christian(especially contemporary, just kill me now)and I HATE going to Church. I feel like a harlot(which I'm not) everytime I walk into one. I think devotionals are f**king retarded. I can't stand having to be around super Christian people because I feel like I have to act proper around them. When one of my roomates forces me to go to church with them I feel looked down upon and preached to. The funny thing is though, is that I actually consider myself Christian. I've always felt this way. When I talk to people about this, including people like my own sister, they don't listen to what I'm saying and just write me off as some kind of atheist. They just suck the fun out of everything. Is this normal? What gives? Sorry for the long post.
Are You Normal?
Ask your question today!
Santa Claus
He's real and watches you all thru the year.
Santa is kind and loves you.
Sensible parents make sure their children believe in Santa and leave offerings of milk and cookies every Dec24th.
Santa Claus (Father Christmas to you limeys) is the only true god. all others are false and should be cast down.
ever watch a regular christian on the street defend historical jesus. Like a child unwilling to admit the truth with it's fingers in it's ears screaming " is so is so is so!" I'll tell you what is so.. It's so fucking desturbing to know that over half of the world follows a 2000 year old book that was writen by men for men to control men ( sorry girls but in the bible you have as many rights as goats, and the eternal shame for getting us kicked out of eden in the first place.)
I don't hate christians, I just hate christians being christan.
Christianity doesn't require "blind faith" as some say. There is more evidence for the authenticity of the bible then there is for the writings of Shakespeare. Shakespeare just doesn't show people that their hearts are bent for sin and that they need a cleaning.
God is good. And you will never see Him until you can come to a place in your life where you believe He is kind as well.
Now anyone can see that some of the things people have been exposed to and have dealt with Christians would make anyone cringe. Question is have you brought that issue to God? And asked what God thinks? People (all people) will hurt others. Unfortunately peoplelook at appearances. Remember David's story? None of his family thought much of him and did even mention him to the prophet. They thought of him as a runt etc. But there is only one who looks at and knows your heart! Each person screws up, has the wrong attitude, hurts others. Why? Because we want to be justified, look good etc. The flesh gets in the way, no matter who you are. So if you hate Christians, it is just best to say you hate mankind. I have not seen one person do it right all the time. Isn't going to happen. I think this is one of the main reasons Jesus taught people that they will need to forgive. Unfortunately, many will let us down even those we expect more of. And sometimes we don't understand where someone else is really coming from. Yet, our hope should not be in man...although we can be hopeful for change & that people will learn from their mistakes. There is only One who meets us where we are really at. Ask Him to help you through & to correct attitudes & to give you wisdom. He will allow testing to come to expose what is in your heart and where you truly are. Most of the time it occurs among those you love or have trusted for guidance. If you fall get back up. That shows more faith and God is proud of the heart that says I blew it, but God I come to you & ask for your help. I'm sorry you have been exposed to some awful crap.
It seems hypocritical to say "Christians force their religion on me," when alot of atheists (not all) call theists stupid and ignorant for believing in God.
All people should be respectful. I have yet to encounter an atheist who has not looked down on me for being a theist, and has just presented THEIR facts.
Having researched carbon-dating, virtual particles, and the like, I am still a theist. Science is wonderful, but what atheists call "evidence" are still just theories.
I believe in the incredible accuracy and authenticity of the Bible, mentioned above, written by eye-witnesses or apprentices of eye-witnesses. Look up the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls. If Jesus were all made up, why would the apostles die horrendous martyrdoms for no riches, fame, or any other worldly gain?
Yeah Christians aren't always living by Christianity, but not believing in something because others may have messed it up is not a good reason.
This is totally normal.
The problem with religious people isn't just that they believe something non-sensical, and utterly devoid of any kind of evidence or reason, it's that they assume that they assume their beliefs make them better than anyone else.
And yes, the same is probably true of other faiths. But I live in a culture where the prevailing religion is christian, so they tend to get brunt of my disdain.
Religious belief is, technically, an 'exaptation' - an accidental (and often unwelcome) side effect of a genetic trait that has persisted because it has other benefits.
