Do people really hate the pretty simple and all loving teachings and methods of Jesus Christ or do people just hate how members of Christianity and other religions have warped it for their own needs?

How can somebody hate love another and feeding 5, 000 people fish? Am I missing something?

People who hate Christ are either edgy teens or atheists who went through an "enlightenment" phase or got bullied at Christian Sunday school.
I'm not Christian but I also don't hate Christ, I can respect the moral teachings even though I don't agree with all of it and it's hard to say how much of it was in the original Bible these days anyway, given how much time and edits it passed through since then.

Anger takes effort and being angry at something that has no bearing on you is often not worth it for most people. As Sai mentioned here, most hatred of Christ or any divine entity comes from teenagers who need something to stand against or people who need to flex some self-conceived sense of intelligence. Most people of other beliefs or none at all are more than happy to coexist with Christianity as well as other systems as long as they don't inherently clash. CoughIslamCough.

It's also possible that Christianity is often bundled with Republicans and since it's becoming incredibly hip to have a worrying rageboner over the latter, it just extends to the former. I'm just spitballing now, though.

Not at all. I'm an agnostic, but there's quite a bit of good advice one can take from Jesus' teachings to live their life by, whether or not you happen to be religious.

I don't hate most Christians either. Evangelical holy roller fundamentalists being the outlier group/schism that I can't stand

I don't hate Christ myself, the man has been dead for over 2000 years and it would really be silly to hate someone that's been gone that long. I'm just not to fond of modern day Christians. My main problem with them is most modern Christians don't live up to what they preach and barely even know their religion's own history, the bible it's self has been bastardized over the centuries and originally Romans came together decide on a proper version of it.

I was raised in a very extreme protestant household, very hypocritical one. Once I was old enough to decide for myself if I wanted to go to Church or not I ultimately decided to leave. I never felt anything spiritual through Christianity. I'm not really an atheist, and that's another thing if you admit you lean towards the theist side when your a former christian they scream that your just angry with god and you'll come back to your christian faith. I never really had faith in the first place with the Church nor in Christ.

Christianity seems like today a religion who's followers consist of convicts, ex-cons, single moms, dead beat dads, drug addicts, and former drug addicts. It's the jail get out of free card and the "who are you to judge me" religion. Least with Islam they take their shit seriously, usually. In Christianity they just slap people on the wrist if they stray from teachings and I feel most Christians don't actually take their religion as seriously as they say they do.

They just want something to make them feel better that they fucked up their lives and an explanation as to why they fucked up their lives rather than taking more responsibility for their own actions in life.

I think what most people hate are the people who act or speak on Jesus' behalf, like the people who say "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, hurhrr" or stand outside abortion clinics harassing people trying to access health care, all the while voting against social programs that help kids born in poverty. Or people who commit heinous acts and then act like it's okay because Jesus forgives them.

Personally, I don't hate Jesus any more than I do Allah or some other most likely mythical figurehead that promotes homophobia, sexism and racism more so than love and charity.

So without powerleveling here... I'm a Catholic and had periods where I didn't like it because of the bs and hypocrisy involved in the church. None of my friends from church stuck with it and became agnostic or SJWs with age. I stuck with it and fully love it, yeah there is a lot that can be updated and even more that needs to reread the Four Gospels, but I never thought poorly of Christ. Turning water into wine and feeding 5k people was just awesome to me. He even said to pay taxes and beat people in a synagogue. Dude was pretty tight

I understand a lot of you for maturing out of your respected childhood religions with the state of things but respect you even more for your honesty. It does seem like most of the haters are retarded teenagers and edgelords and I do associate neckbeards/ dorky losers with hating religion without any form of justification


Hey, better than Islam or Evangelicals :tomgirl: Thank you all for your input
