Why do people get offended over Christianity?

[Guest Blind_Guardian]

Cos we're sick and tired of you shoving your beliefs down our throats and then telling us your the only ones that are right when there is no evidence for your beliefs.

I guess it's all in your perspective. I'm not sure how telling someone that Jesus loves them so much that He died for them on the cross so that they could have an eternal relationship with Him in heaven...is "shoving something down their throat".

If someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to log in to Worthy or any other Christian site, I'd be happy to call the police for you.

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

I think Steve has a good point here, too. I can't even begin to count the number of folks I have met who don't want anything to do with "organized religion" (translated: Christianity) because of hypocrites. And it's true. There are so many people out there that claim to be Christian and clearly are not to those who know Christ. There are lots of "Sunday Christians" out there who attend church and consider themselves saved when they aren't. There are Christians who ARE saved, but who rarely acknowledge that fact. They still live for themselves most of the time.

No one of us is perfect, but the number of Christians who strive to emulate Christ to the world are dismally few. Where is the Love of Christ?

As a song I really like says:

"If we are the body, why aren't His arms reaching? Why aren't His hands healing? Why aren't His words teaching? If we are the body, why aren't His feet going? Why is His love not showing them there is a way? Jesus is the way!"

And yes... I am a Christian who struggles daily with her walk with Christ. I need to follow my own thoughts and advice, study God's Word more, and not be afraid to speak the Truth in love. Arguments won't help. Living a good example will.

God bless.

See the anger I am talking about.

Oh and, no evidence of our beliefs? Well where is the evidence that proves us wrong?

Anyway, keep'em coming.

Something isn't real because you can't prove its not otherwise I can say pixies are real and because theres no proof they aren't they must be.

Fair enough.

But why do you not believe? What caused you to look at Christianity and say," Thats not true, I do not believe that."?

If you do not mind me asking?

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

Yup

It doesn't seem to be any other religion that takes the kind of heat that Christianity does

Ummm...I'd do a quick survey of WB and see the treatment and "heat" that Islam gets...just food for thought.
