Topic: Christians are a hate group. - page 3. (Read 7940 times)

You're all very ignorant to my personal knowledge. I grew up Catholic and transitioned to a less cult like, Baptist church; With the majority of my family being Catholic or Baptist, I was baptized, have received first communion, and studied The Bible well. My salvation is none of your concern, and I am not as you perceive. I know the tricks and trades of religious martyrs. I also know that there are many blind, yet loving individuals who get trapped in the bigotry of mankind, brought to you by the Church. I believe in a higher power that is looking after the good of mankind and the universe as we know it. "God", if you will. Although, The Bible, and many other religious items have perverted the universe's ever lasting love for all that is good in life and death.  

You all sure love casting those stones, don't you?

John 8
:7 But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

Most religions promote peace, this is just another attempt to use religion to carry out an agenda. I don't understand the hypocrisy of most "religious" people who do this. It's a an embarrassment watching people curve religious writings to meet their agenda and down right stupid.

I'll just leave these here

Jesus encourages The Old Testament condemnation and slaying as preached in The New Testament:



So you're telling me, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and then spent the next X amount of time, testing his people, like asking Abraham to kill his only son for God, yet lets them all be condemned to Hell? All because he hasn't magically shot his load in the virgin Mary? Sounds like a destructive God to me. It's like the carrot on the end of the stick attached to the donkey's collar; With a the donkey set forth toward a cliff's edge. Here ya go little donkey. Take some sin. When you do, I'll be sure to cause pain, murder, destruction, fire, blight, and flooding of all your people, animals, and life.

God sounds like a sadist to me. Even Lucifer was at the right hand of God. Then he did something God disapproved of (again, double standard) and so he cast him to an eternal Hell and damnation. None of this bothers you? The fact that you're taught that you have free will, yet that free will is controlled by some whimsical sadist in the clouds? Waiting to bring death and destruction to the entire earth if you don't give him your money and follow his rules? Very disheartening.

The Bible wasn't written to place fear into the hearts of people. It was written to show people the eternal joy they would be missing if they turned from Jesus salvation to something else. If that doesn't cause fear of failure, then nothing will.

Matthew 5
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

We get freed from sin, and told to sin no more.

Obviously implying no judgement on your deviant actions, which is reiterated in many quotes of the Bible regarding sin. Also, contradicted by many quotes. The Bible is full of contradictions. You obviously pick and choose which parts you would like to represent in your favor.

There are many scientific explanations as to how the universe came to be. We each can choose our own to speculate or believe. This is your human right.

The fact that "God orders the destruction and killing of the 'non-righteous' to justify his orders of murder. Hmm. Who else says God has ordered them to murder the non-righteous? Oh yeah. The Islamic State. One can argue that the devil has flowed into all acts of violence in religions. Tainting even The Bible, with self-righteous murder plots and condemning of non-believers.


Self mutilation encouragement:


God murdering because you didn't give him all of your money:


The Bible was written by man, to control you. Instill fear in your hearts. If you don't follow "my way or the highway" you're going to be burned in fire. Oh yeah, and give me all of your money or you will be burned in fire. Hey, I get to decide who gets burned in fire. You will burn in fire. Screw it, I'm drowning all of you suckers except Moses and his family.

The God depicted in The Bible is hateful, and hate fueled. If he was ever-forgiving and righteous like he claims to be in The Bible (again, massive contradictions to instill fear and take you for all you're worth), then he would not order the destruction of the earth, instead he would spread only the word of peace. Not fear and death for non-followers.

Even you are preaching the hate fueled destruction of myself, for not following your clandestine, man written, "Bible Law". More fear porn for controlling the masses. 

You obviously haven't read the bible.

Jesus died so we could be free of sin, and be as peaceful and loving as Jesus was. We are to be like him, and sin not.

What's the matter? Can't answer my points?

Nobody gets to pick and choose other than a tiny bit. It is cause and effect that almost dictates.

God allows freedom. That is why He allows you to have just enough freedom of choice so that you can select Him as your leader, or the devil, who He will destroy at just the right time.

If you don't want to be destroyed with your boss, the devil, change your selection to God.

Acts
3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

2nd Peter
 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Matthew
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Matthew 18
18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Acts 5
5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

So you get to pick and choose what makes your religion shine well in the spot light? Hypocrites are a dime a dozen these days. Your personal attacks against my personal opinion only reiterate my aforementioned views and cited facts.

You're what we call, a 'big cross Christian'. Wearing your cross so openly and well. Shoving it down the throats of all that fail to follow your ways. Condemning those that have any opinion other than thou's holiest. Love and compassion when it's convenient, hate and distrust when opinions and facts hurt your glitter painted fallacy. God would be ashamed, I presume.

So you're telling me, some magical guy in the clouds impregnated a 'virgin'. After this a 'holy son' was born, he wandered around for 33 years preaching peace. Then his dad has him murdered in the most violent prolonged way, so you all could prance the earth committing atrocities. Then, with the essence of his son's horrible murder, all you have to do now, is ask the magical cloud guy to 'forget about it' and you can go to a magical fairy tale ending with mansions and Lamborghinis for all? Not to mention, he had his 'holy son' rise from the grave, so you could eat and drink him? (The first ever zombie leader.) Peace! Love! Compassion! (God tells his followers to murder and pillage entire civilizations, in multiple religions.) Wake up, that 10% tithe you're giving is going to a plight that commits atrocities.

While it is true that it all happened like this, your attitude is corrupting the way the love and mercy of God really looks and acts.

How do you think this whole universe and existence came into being? You might have a guess, but many scientific people haven't figured it out yet, even after decades of scientific research.

Thus, it turns out that you are more or less retarded in your attitude. The fact that you would select that avatar that you have selected, kinda proves it.

The following is not just Christian woes, instead encompassing multiple religious atrocities.

I agree, there are many individual Christians and religious followers who love to live by good moral standard, yes. Although religion in general has been used for centuries to control, murder, cast blame, instill fear, and create blight around the world. Religion is a form of mass brain washing, good or evil. You have to know where to draw the line.
