Top 10 Reasons Why Christianity Is Terrible

No words. I know people may not agree with this rule, and some might, but, being a Christian, let me just say this. According the Bible, being gay or bisexual just makes you NOT NORMAL. Yes it is a sin, but you're not going to Hell for it. Yes, many people are gay or bisexual, but it doesn't mean that you're a bad person! Yes, I think it's a choice, but many people don't. Just because you're gay or bisexual doesn't mean that you are going to Hell! It just means that you have committed a sin, and you are forgiven for it. So stop all the 'Christians think that gays should go the Hell' nonsense and just accept the fact that you are unique, and not normal like others, and that you will still be allowed to be in the best possible place after death: Heaven.

Christianity completely disregards any form of logical thinking, which is why atheists are proved to have a highest Iq among the other things. According to the Bible, people are supposed to believe that an omnipotent being, one day was bored and decided to create everything in 7 days. Even though he is a God, he can feel human emotions, especially anger. He thinks that women are inferior to men, that homosexuals are sinning, that virginity is the most important thing in life (in fact, Mary magically gave birth being a virgin), that sex is wrong and not at all a natural need, and that if you don't spend your whole life worshipping him and his son you will go to hell.
Where is the logic in all of this?

I am not Christian, yet I still have a large amount of respect for Jesus Christ because if the stories are true, it seems like he was a brave, kind, generous, and accepting person.

The Christian God on the other hand...

Is a coward: Rather than saving humans himself, he made his son Jesus sacrifice himself on the cross to save humanity. If He is supposedly all powerful, He could have just fixed everything right?

Is self centered: No matter how good you act, no matter how much good things you do in life, you are going to hell if you don't worship God. What if you were born and raised non Christian? It's not really your fault.

Is unjust: Sends people to hell for eternity because of mistakes someone may have made for the maybe 100 years they lived on Earth. Totally not fair.

Christian people are really nice though, and as I said, Jesus seems honorable.

You end up going to hell for being gay. You also go to hell is you cut your own hair. You go to hell if you disobey your parents. Does this sound reasonable to you? If so, you're a sick person. People can't help being gay, it's just how they were born. Homophobes are no better than racists

There's a difference between minor sins and major sins. Major sins are the ones that get you sent to hell, while minor is something most people do. Go to a confession and erase your sins, trust me you'll feel better.

It is true we naturally sin, but a lot of those were choosing to sin that could be prevented, like being gay. Back in the beginning, God gave Adam everything he needed to NOT sin. However, he chose to sin instead.

You say that you can't make something living out of something nonliving. But that's a misconception to begin with. Eveything is made of atoms and molecules. Even you. The difference is that some reactions of certain chemicals creates life as you know it ( breeding, growing, thinking... ) and some other reactions of other molecules creates things that don't breed. The truth is that everything lives ( whenever there is energy and reaction of atoms there is something moving, even if you can't see it like a rock for instance ). Nobody knows the real truth about how everything started ( everything is made out of theories about that ) but saying that the answer is simple because it's god is stupid. The fact is that science is almost certain what life is, the only question that remains is " why did it happen once? "

It's strange how Christians like to bash on Muslims for their rigid, puritanical beliefs, yet these same Christians hold to these same rigid, puritanical beliefs. It's unbelievable that in places like the USA, politicians get the vote by bashing on gay people, minorities, etc. At least in Switzerland, the government is more secular compared to the USA, and people here seem to get along. No corrupt politicians using bad language. And yes, people in Switzerland do value education very well.

If Christianity did respect others beliefs then why did it take stuff from Paganism (to put it short), Babylonian Mythology, Egyptian Mythology and Greece Mythology without giving enough cred? Not to mention what the Temple Knights did as well. Not only that! Christians and none Christians bashes Satanism within knowing anything true about that either (Spiritual and Theistic).

I for one agree, Churches have these youth programs like "children's church" etc&etc. That's how Hitler started his Nazi youth programs, it makes a lot of sense to install this crap in early minds until they grow up believing, or smart enough to be able to critically think and break away from it all. Example: If there was a religion about The Monster Under The Bed and that child was taught there was a monster under the bed had all these programs about a monster under the bed they would grow up still believing that there is one. Hopefully -aforementioned- a natural critical thinker can break away and realize its indoctrination created by selfish and the manipulative.

These christian comments are so friggen dumb/ignorant, I haven't read a thread of dumber comments in months.. but to be relevant to this reason.. the bible was written in a time where science wasn't really a big thing so maybe it was a lot more believable back then. I don't see a problem with someone having christian values, I just can't comprehend someone devoting their life to it (like my ex post break-up did)

Some science is true, but some is not. Do you really believe that this world was made on accident? That just isn't possible. The possibility of that happening is the trash in a junkyard turning into an incredibly detailed jet. Not gonna happen.

Username34-actually, as a Mormon, I know for a fact that we don't support an Us vs Them mentality. We believe in supporting everyone, even if they don't believe in our religion.

Exactly. God kills so many people without reason and spares others.

That's mormonism, not Christianity. (no offense to any mormons, you're very nice people)

Praying is just asking for help. It's not about changing everything but, if God agrees to it, you might be lucky to be heard your prayer and grant it. But, as we all know, the bible says that God chooses the people to be the caretaker of the world. So, it is we should act to make something to change for the better not for the worst. It is we, who are here, to do the responsibility for the good of mankind. And God gave us the ten commandments or the bible to be our manual handbook, just to know how we will use our life, that was given to us by Him. God is not the abuser. The humans are the abuser of what God has give to them. God did not put a price to everything that He made. But human put a price to everything that God has made for free. Water, land, air... Everything is free when God gave this to us. And now, everything has a price to pay. Who abuses who?

Some parents do, and that isn't Christianity's fault. It's the fault of the people who do it.

My parents: Karen and Darre wouldn't let me listen to non Christian music!

Many people are ignorant towards it, and/or can't do anything about it.

I have social problems, so I don't work well in groups. I'm the first kid who wants to work alone for a project, yet no one has ever told me "you're a Christian you need to work in groups! "

I will admit that it's a bit of a problem, but seriously! Not too long ago almost everyone was fine with it. Give it some time!

And the people that don't think in a group end up a lot like you.

I am sick and tired of this common myth. If you commit a sin (yes, even unintentionally), all is forgiven, and you can be happy that Jesus died on the cross so you could go to Heaven, although you just took two cookies from the cookie jar even though you were told not to. But seriously, you can't go around just doing whatever you please. There is punishment for that, and that is having to face all your sins at the end of your life, and have to beg to go to Heaven, although you always will.

That is not true I hate it when people over exaggerate it clearly you don't read the bible, I have sinned everyone has know body is perfect that is why he sent his only son to save us from sin so you can pray for your sins. But if you are a cruel person like I don't know Hitler than you will go to hell but don't you think that is fair he killed all those people

That's a horrible reason. Christianity is very interesting, and can save your life. It's kind of like a club; you do stuff and you get rewarded. Sure, there are fights in between. But having a group of people who's lives has been turned around by religion is absolutely touching. I don't like to talk about religion myself, but I have no problem talking about it in situations like this.

What kind of dumb reason is this? This reason shouldn't be here, and whoever made this list obviously wasn't thinking about what they wrote. Christianity isn't wrong. Or stupid.

In every religion it does.

Suppose you kill an innocent person. That person had no idea why yet you killed him. So you are a murderer and a criminal now. Shame is sort of important because it alerts you of what you've done wrong. It helps you distinguish between right and wrong. And if the murderer felt shame he would have realized his mistake and stopped killing and be sorry. Don't you know anything?

So your saying if you do something bad than you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself for doing something like that? Shame tells people when your doing the wrong thing. If you don't have shame then you won't feel bad about what you did you would do it again. Shame is an important part of your conscientious.

You don't have to be in the army or have an army to kill. Christianity is organised religion. Whenever something is organised ( even the Maffia is organised ) and that this organisation decides to kill in name of the supposed organisation, there is crime.

In history they murdered women and pagans it was either torture, hanging them or burning them. Deluded saying the women where witches if they had a wart or left handed.

Yeah, so have Muslims and any other religion. Every religion has fought at least 1 war about religion.

We don't insist. It's your choice if you want to believe in Christianity or not. If someone is insisting, then they are not true Christians.

So all the Christian explorers of the new world weren't real Christians. Ha. Right. They were more Christians than Christians are today.

Sorry, I just realized that you just proposed your idea to pertain to every known religion on the planet. Yippie for you.

Yeah! Wait, in... what... since when has this ever happened!? Anything like that has largely been debunked. Plus, even if it isn't, we can ignore it all we want because it still is true no matter which way you look at, but people are just ignorant and don't accept that it is true and that science won't debunk it!

On the contrary, most Christians, in fact, do not go against blatantly logical ideas. Given, there are many people out there who will, but they can do what they want

It's funny. I once met someone that actually believed that the Earth was 5,000 years old. Talk about the stupidest thing I have ever heard

And many of their beliefs also come from Zoroastrianism too believe it or not. It's not surprising because around the time of Jesus was around the time of Islam starting (If I'm remembering correctly) and the symbol for Islam came from the Pagan moon and star gods.

Come on! This crap again!? Why!? This is completely untrue and it is just completely false and dumb! It is completely untrue! Also, who in the entire dang world found facts on this!? Also, if they did, where!?

I got into this when thinking: if Christianity is not the first and only religion out there, then why do we celebrate all our holidays like it? Even in non Christian countries?

So has atheism. And many other beliefs.

Well, you see there are some metal bands who sing about Jesus, and God, with positive lyrics about the Lord. Now, it is true that they're is black metal bands who worship satan and burn churches for Satan, but Christain bands such as Stryker don't do that. Also some bands with Satanic lyrics such have members who are Christians. Take Slayer for example, they sing about Satan and Nazis but their lead singer, Tom Araya, is a devoted Catholic.

Apparently, the Christian school I go to thinks that Christian Music such as Casting Crowns is the devil's music. My mom however, probably would've started a huge argument if she went there one day, because Casting Crowns is one of her favorite artists. I'm a Christian, obviously, and what do I listen to? Oh, just good heavy metal music such as Slayer, Venom, Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, and stuff like that.

They're not even Christian, just insane.

God hates smoking? How do you know?

Cross symbolizes the sacrificing of Jesus to the cross, where He died to save mankind from sins. Sins that was made by those people who truly repent from their sins and change their life by obeying God's will - and not those who doesn't change their life after committing sins. Cross also means protection from evil forces that surround us because, it is used for saving us from sins. So, God change the image of the cross from a tools to torture people to the tools that save people. God knows who does not pay their sins in this world. Those sins that does not yet punished in this world will never be forgiven in the afterlife. Those who have been punished in this world, because of their sins and change their life by obeying God's commandments, will be forgiven and enter in God's kingdom. Just like the person who was crucified on the cross with Jesus and ask Jesus to take him with Jesus to heaven. Because he believes in Jesus as the son of God and he repent and also punished to the cross because of his sins; which in that case, he is forgiven.
