There was a strange split amongst Christians during covid. Some were awake, could see what was happening and warned against the vax. Others were telling people to take it and even going as far as using Jesus’s name to convince people. I found that particularly disturbing.

I'll help. It's cuz they can be quite annoying.

The reason people hate Christians is obvious. Firstly and truthfully is the fact that it is a prophecy that is fulfilling found here in John 15:18-19 which reads: 'If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you,'

they hate JESUS, cause He speaks the Truth that He is God in flesh! simple as that. The Word of God is clear that followers will be persecuted as well. This unfortunate inheritance in this world, is nothing compared to what is to come for those that Believe though!

in europe, the invasion of muslims is being used deliberately to divide societies and break the still very strong christian middle-class bulwark. what is happening here is a unique re-cultivation of society and this is likely to lead to extreme conflicts. since then, christianity has been badly damaged and islam has been built up as a kind of protest culture. i wish the women a lot of fun for the future. Especially those who have risen to particularly feminist achievements in resistance to the angry old white man

More women in Europe need to be mugged by reality. Or raped by immigrants

It is indeed a big problem with women. I remember murder cases in Germany where migrants raped young girls and then stabbed them, whereupon the mothers of these families went in front of the cameras and called for a demonstration against right-wing extremist violence. That was a case in Freiburg. The majority of people here in Europe are so mentally consumed by propaganda that their perception of reality is still very distorted

to be honest, it's really about peace and beauty from what I've learned about Islam ( so far ) , and I'm sure you have bad ppl in each group, but what if the "European dream" only attracts certain types of ppl instead of the person being a Muslim?
but then, even if someone claims he/ she is Muslim, it doesn't really mean he/ she is; I just don't like it when ppl use religion to group ppl and then keep saying bad things about others while deep down it's really an individual issue.

yes of course from a humanist point of view religion should never be used to divide people into groups. but the reality is that Islam, as it appears today, is clearly politicized and used as a power vehicle.

Islam, as it appears today, is clearly politicized and used as a power vehicle
sadly, in most places it is; but then it doesn't mean all muslims are bad ppl - I'm surrounded by some of the kindest humans and they are Muslims, but I see them as living humans being instead of muslims. 👀

Not all Muslim are bad people but their leaders are dangerous.
Muslims have trouble coexisting peacefully with non Muslims.
Muslim countries don’t have a reputation for tolerance and diversity
The religion is about converting the heathens. If they don’t convert, kill the men, rape the women

"Not all Muslim are bad people but their leaders are dangerous"
One can say the exact same thing about foreign policy advisers in Washington or Jerusalem, the evil of all leaders around the world says nothing about the people living in these countries who are in fact the first victims

that's not what i said. my point is to show quite clearly that christian islamic or jewish or even atheists cannot be merged into a multicultural paradise. this is a misconception that is turning into a catastrophe before our very eyes
reply
I can coexist with Muslim who convert to anything else
I guess multi-respect is the key, ppl used to respect others' religions during the Ottoman time, and even till now, I'm still around Christian and Muslim friends here, but yeah, politically wise, they don't want you to see this is possible, ppl living harmony with each other, and it's been like this for centuries.

If you start to understand monotheistic religions as anger storage media, then the whole thing becomes obvious, which is why we are repeatedly confronted with extreme discharges of aggression, frustration and resentment.
I can see why people don't like/love Christians - but to hate them? We need a world with less hate, more love and kindness.
I do think religion causes alot of strife amongst muslims, jews and christians.

There is no "Christianity" tag, so I choice a generic one. Happy to move to another section, however.

Next time use culture or history or ideas from the edge

I don't hate Christians, I just sort of pity them.
In general, they lack ethical values beyond “big bad sky daddy gonna get you” and treat their short lives as nothing more than entrance exams for a hand-wavey promise at a second, better life (which I’m sure they’d squander, too, if given the chance).
I’ve yet to meet a Christian that behaves anything like the Christ they supposedly emulate.
reply
Christians lack ethical values such as ?
reply
You misunderstand me. Allow me to clarify.
Many, if not all, Christians believe that without their holy myths, the world would descend into rape and murder. Those people would commit rape and murder if there were no cosmic punishment and so their true ethics are shown.
Christian ethical values are based on fear of punishment rather than fully realized empathy and moral understanding.
You can be a good person without talking to sky daddy in the dark.

I think this post is not for the bitcoin territory.

If you ask @jimmysong and Robert Breedlove. It does, you know, Bitcoin is "Christian money", the whole statement is absolute bullshit and being christian doesn't save people from being an asshole (Here's something I wrote about this) but yeah, you've gotta be a Christian to be a Bitcoiner for some reason that's completely beyond me or anyone's reasoning.

Part of it is the Ned Flanders stereotype
It’s a bit cringe when athletes say I want to thank my lord Jesus Christ for bringing me a gold medal etc
Of course if a Muslim athlete said praise to Allah the media will compliment him for being a man of faith and morality etc

Becuase most Christians I've met in ym life have been the most prejudiced and hypocritical people one could find.
This happens in all religions, I'm alwayds warry of the "Holier than thou" archetype of person, and will always be.

We are currently experiencing this in countries such as Germany, where the left is still trying to break up the traditional Christian foundations through mass migration. Christianity and Islam are not compatible, there will be no multicultural paradise. a catastrophe is in the making

Ah yes, I forgot that you gringos are obsessed with this stuff of separating yourselves and hating your neighbor.
What have Jews to do with anything? I've never met a jew, and I've never met a terrorist, but I met a guy who was first a Babalawo and when that stoped paying the bill he became a Christian Priest, he used to hit his wife and was an alcoholic, his son flew to other country just to not see him ever again, and of course, he was "holier than thou".
