Ill tell you why. Because most so called christian's are the first one's to judge you. What did the Lord say? Do not judge other's. Then there excuse for judging you is they wanna save your soul from burning in this place they call Hell for ever and ever. Do you really think a loving Creator has made a place for His children to burn for ever and ever. This is a scare tactitic to get these's so called christian's to stay in there fat rich churche's on sunday the pagan day of worship of some god by old Babilion when the real Torah that Jesus preached was on the Sabbath, seventh day Saturday. Let's look deeper into these so called christian bellief's. So called christian's say they are the only one's going to heaven. That mean's 80% of the world's population about 6 billion people that our loving Creator Jesus Christ made are going to burn in HELL!!!! FOR EVER!!!. What i do is ask them to show me in scripture where Jesus say's He is comming only for christian's and BURN the rest in some eternal Hell they made up to keep there little money machine flowing. Ill say one thing that i know God said: I have not come into this word to comdem it, but to save it. That mean's just what He said. The whole world !!!! That mean's everyone of us. Now i really know why Our creator has had enough with all these religion's and the way they cut people into pieces with there word's and judgment's. My name is Daniel in Hewbrew it mean's GOD IS JUDGE !!! Get the message.

First of all God created man, not Jesus. We are all born in sin because of the sin of Adam and Eve. Hell was originally created for the devil and his angels. When Adam and Eve sinned they were cast from the Garden of Eden. They sinned by disobeying God's instruction to them and thus seperating themselves from God. Before Jesus came here the only way to reconcile with God was to sacrifice animals and shed their blood for the atonement of sin. After the birth of Jesus who came to this world as a living sacrifice for our sins, one must accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior in order to be a christian and go to heaven when this life is over. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Therefore a person must accept Jesus as their personal savior, believe that he was sent by God for that purpose in order to inherit the Kingdom of God along with Jesus. That is why Jesus said, "I came into the world not to condemn the world but to seek and to save those which are lost." Now if God were going to bring the entire world to heaven then he would not have sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross in order to save people. We would all be saved already. God gave man his own free will to choose for himself. No one is forced to accept Jesus or even believe in him. But also God does not send people to Hell, it is mans choice to go there if they choose not to believe in Jesus. But that is the only way to get to heaven, according to the bible that I read. Now, there are many many religions and people believe different things but I believe the bible, King James Version, and I believe everything that is written in that book. I believe that it is the inspired word of God written by man according to what God instructed them to write and if you read it, the different books in there will tell who the different authors are but they wrote exactly as God instructed them.I believe every word in the bible. I may not understand a lot of it but I believe every word is the inspired word of God, thus I believe there is no other way to get to heaven except through Jesus Christ because the bible tells me this and I believe it. That is why I accepted him as my savior a long time ago. I hate no other religions, that is not the teaching of my bible. As for the judging of people, well that is true some people who are christians judge people and have a holier than thou attitude but a true christian who is living the way they should will not judge but will have the love of God in their heart for all mankind. My bible says to "love your enemies" You may not believe as I do, that is your choice but I will hold onto what I believe till Jesus comes. I have no doubts. Thank you for reading this.

We can go so far as to say that it is not Jesus himself and his history or authenticity that interests most church-going Christians; it is what Jesus as a healing icon can do for them emotionally and physically which matters most. The average "believer" is not truly concerned with God’s nature, or with God’s mysteries. He is merely concerned with what God can do for him, and how God might make his sad, mediocre life less insipid. The average believer is not concerned about the emotions his Christ may have felt when he was betrayed with a kiss by a man he was ready to give his own life and even soul for.
The average believer wants Jesus to do something for him. He wants Jesus to act on his behalf and to provide various physical, emotional, and spiritual comforts and securities. Yes, what a great pleasure a mentally and emotionally destitute (“meek”) man finds knowing that for the nominal fee of blind obedience his jealous god will fulfill his needs and also dispense hell and damnation to his enemies. Who could pass up such a platinum deal? The day that Jesus and god fail to cut it then the guru gimmick-merchant on the block will do just as well. Christian moralists may reflect upon the manner in which their own grandiloquent religious espousals have fostered the same pernicious disaffection in society that they vehemently attribute to atheism and materialism. Religion is the little more than a narcissist’s Materialism.
The story of Jesus the God or of Jesus the Man is interesting to less and less rational people in the world today and there is nothing amiss with that. It is a good sign. The story of truth, of god, and of the divine in us, should not be fixed in the special past but in the special present - in the moment. Moreover, when we do our historical homework we find out that the story of Jesus is no more dramatic and miraculous, no more pathetic and majestic than the story of other masters of knowledge and Servants of Truth.
It works excellently as great tale, a ripping yarn, a Hollywood super-drama, and that is about all. Only the emotionally disturbed, psychologically infirm, or intentionally malign, have taken it to mean more than this. We do not need to recount the repulsive biographies or histories of so-called saints, kings, popes and evangelists.
Few care, or have ever cared, about the factuality of Bible stories. Inwardly, subconsciously, most people know the improbability of such stories. But since our ego-drives have taken root in such fictions, better that they remain and continue to be watered. Truth can perish, and the world can come to ruin, but as long as the ego and the persona and the illusion of salvation at the hands of others remains constant, we believe.
It should never be forgotten that the power of the priest rests solely on the credence of the people. The people cry out for a savior, for certainty of heaven, for an exemption from the terrors of hell. Hence Priestcraft can neither do without hell nor purgatory. Take away both, or either, and its power is gone.
For every Christ and Muhammad, there are a thousand other god-men, born of virgins, imbued with the deepest wisdom and enamored with a divine mission. India is filled with like men and women today. So let it be known that there is nothing truly unique about the life of Jesus Christ. The only thing which is unique about the Christ is the lengths to which the Cult, which has adopted his name, has gone to suppress the truth and to foist their unsustainable sectarian beliefs upon the world. The Christian zeal for brutal oppression and its violent conversion of non-believers, its penchant for false promises, its expertise with deception, and its ability to spawn the vilest of human-monsters, are what make it unique in the world.

Excuse me, I am Christian and dont dog other belief's. Some of my best friends are Muslim and a couple are atheist...now agnostic. I'm not perfect, but I DO see what they mean about: "Christians are why I dont believe in God" statement. I have seen many "christians" who tout that they are God loving, but cant seem to grasp the concept "do not judge others" and "love one another". It is hard for me to find a church that I feel comfortable in. I even got my atheist friend to come to church with me (the church has changed since so hence the "looking for another"). Everyone there embraced him. We had kids with purple hair, people who wear shorts, flip flops...even the pastor on occassion wore sandals (Jesus did preaching). My friend couldnt believe it, no fire and brimstone sermon, excellent music (contemporary christian music). He no longer makes hissing sounds at the mention of God's name now, and has visited a few other churches on his own. He is working on himself....and all because I LOVE HIM THE WAY HE IS AND I DONT JUDGE HIM!
Dont judge all Christians by the bad ones you see. I am far from perfect myself....therefore, I'm not stupid enough to judge anyone else.

People hate each other because of fear, but fear gives control to the object feared. Just like when someone says, you make me feel angry etc.... I have said, thanks. You have credited me for having the power to control your emotions.

Well said people. that's the only reason i posted this. to sturr up the great minds in here to explain God's charactor of great love for us. I wanted people to see what words can do to a person. words kill and crusify with great pain. Jesus said; love the Lord your God with all your heart , mind, and soul. Love your brother's and sister's as you love yourself. These are the most important thing's we should do.

I would like to point out the difference between a Christian and a Zealot. Zealots are what you are referring to and Christians are what you are not. It would be better to take this towards "People who take ideas too far" or "People who take things out of context". There is nothing religious about that kind of conversation ... Math Professors who take ideas too far need deodorant and a clean shave. Christians who take the ideas of Jesus too far or out of context need to be ignored. Simple.

I do not hate anyone [once again have to make the exception of the exes that molested and raped my daughters, and am working on that], however do not see many christians that behave any different than anyone else. In fact have seen nothing to make me want to return to being a christian especially since I cannot buy the whole package anymore.

Hate to point out the obvious here guys.....Hate is probably not the most accurate terminology for this post.....
Intolerance for other...religions and beliefs would probably be a bit more accurate. Christians generally aren't too awfully hateful....just a bit intolerant.....just my experience so I call it like I see it.

Great "words of wisdom" there Krup!!! I cant for the life of me understand how anyone can be intolerant of anothers beliefs especially when their main objective is to do the will of God,whos most prominent requests are to "love one another" and "be sorry if you dont".
I try not to use the word hate and when expressing my distain for something or someones behavior ,I often say...I cannot 'tolerate'...this or that! Do I wish that my tolerance level was higher? YES!LOL Are there specific things I should tolerate more and less?YES!
But what one believes in their heart to be true,because they have a relationship with God,is certainly nothing for me to be intolerant of!
.....peace

A person who hates others because of their faith and calls him or herself a Christian has a whole lot of homework to do on the subject of Christianity. For several years I attended a Passover (Sater) dinner led by a Jewish lay leader, at a gathering and under the sponsorship of Roman Catholics, and people of all faiths were invited. To me that is what Christianity is all about. Incidently everyone who attended was very pleased with the good food, fellowship, and most important of all a better understanding of one another's faith.

Here is an example....a good man and friend of the family ....was the highest ranked student of my Father's Kyokushinkai Karate' school.....He had my father's respect and love as if "John" was a son.
John died.
He had AIDS ...it turned out he was gay....Who knew?
He was a Kali worshipper....a Hindu Goddess of War and death.....we didn't know.
He bought a corbra and had it bite him to death in his apartment....to him is represented an angel...to send him to his Heaven and end his suffering.
There were many things about "John" that we learned......
To me he was a good man, a great fighter,...and he was loyal to my family.....
I accept him completely for the paths he chose.
My Father will not speak "John's" name....
My dad is one of the few christian examples that I respect......that is the example of intolerance that strikes closest to home for me.

Why is it so hard to differentiate between hating another persons religious beliefs and hating that person?
Don't all of us here on this thread hate the religious beliefs of those terrorists who seek to destroy America?
I would venture to say that some even hate the terrorists.
For myself, I will hate only their religion, and be thankful that by the grace of God I was not born in the circumstances that shaped their worldview.
