Why do people get offended over Christianity?

[J.C.]

Why do people take some much offence when It comes to Christianity? It doesn't seem to be any other religion that takes the kind of heat that Christianity does, Why is that? Some people do not want to even hear anything about Christianity. It seems like they go out of their way to avoid or to bash Christianity, why?

I know everyone is intitled to their opinion, but come on. It is the only religion that takes serious heat over nothing really. Look at "The Passion of the Christ". There was so much anger, so much controversy, so much heat over that movie, why? There are a tone of other movies that are more graphic, but in my opinion I do not think that was the reason for the controveresy.

Anyway, I want to here everyones views and opinions about why Christianity is so offensive to most people.

In Christ's Love,

Because the truth is divisive in nature. It seperates the lies. Christ Himself said that when He came, it would not bring peace..but a sword.

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man's enemies will be the members of his own household." Matthew 10:34-36

We just need to realize that Christ's presence on the earth was literally an act of war. He (and we) are opposed because we have an enemy who seeks to destroy the truth with his lies.

Well... I think there's one major reason why non-Christians don't like Christianity. It's because Christianity is exclusive. They don't want to be told that they can't be saved and go to heaven unless they accept Jesus Christ. They don't want to hear that they are wrong. They don't want to change thier sinful ways. They don't want to submit to Christ. That's what makes them so angry. A Christian who believes the Bible cannot retract the truth. Any other religion can temporize or speak in a "tolerant" manner so as not to offend. This is why others like attacking Christianity and Christians so much.

It's easy...super easy to answer.

There's a spiritual war going on between Truth and Satan's world of lies. There's a war between good and evil, God and Satan, right and wrong, flesh and spirit.

If Christianity were not the Truth, people would just hum a few bars, smile and say, "That's nice..."

But since Christianity is the Truth, it's a stumbling block and offense to Satan and he'll do everything he can to tear it down. He's sure working hard at it.

But consider this: Jesus said that the "gates of HELL would not prevail against His Church"....so Satan is a loser.

God wins everytime...and that's all we need to remember.

Partly, because there are so many poor examples out there.

Partly, because many people make false uneducated assumptions about what it means to follow Jesus.

But ultimately, Jesus claims to be the only way to God. That's offensive to lots of people.

Amen to that too...

Tess/aggiekat...great responses and I agree!

I also think going along with their comments that when you grasp what christianity is all about and we see who we truly are in comparison to God in all His glory and majesty, it's a hard pill to swallow when human nature is to be prideful.

It also boils down to the fact that the world has so many views of what their God is and it's not the God of the bible. It's a "god" that makes them comfortable. One that is politically correct and who's only characteristic is love. To say that God is a God of judgement as well, just wouldn't fly.

KMB said it better than I can.

Because sin hates the Light.

Christ is the Light of the world that exposes sin.
