Hatred hurled from the left towards Christians, why?

I am a christian.

And if you read my post in the welcome thread here you will find a christian who does not agree with this stupid deadly war.

A christian who knows you cannot legislate morality , so there fore does not consider abortion or gay marriage a voting issue.

I am a christian who often finds myself on opposing sides from posters on these forums who claim to be christians , because they are hypocritical and not really following the teachings of Jesus.

just like 92B said above religious people have a tendency to try to force their beliefs down everybody elses throats . That never works. Doesn't matter if your a christian , muslim, or buddist. You cannot make others live to your standards. And Christ never told us to be involved in world governments and changing them.

So yes hypocrites of all faiths do get given a hard time as well they should.

America has legislated morality from the beginning. That's why we have laws that say you cannot murder, or you cannot steal, ect. And many of these laws were based on the 10 commandments. Jesus tells us that Christians should be the light on the hill, and that we should not hide that light. And that is the problem for a nation that hates the light. They killed Jesus because they hated His words, and Jesus tells us we should not be surprised if the worlds hates us, and then tells us, remember, they hated me first.

I've noticed several posters who are left leaning or liberals have nothing but contempt for Christians and Religion. Why, I'm curious where this hatred stems from? Also they claim the moral high ground yet they don't appear to stand for anything. So what is the cause of this hatred? I'm curious about the origins of their hate and loathing.

I agree campbell to a certain extent.

I agree and laws need to be kept to the basics like the 10 commandments.

I do follow Jesus and the teachings of Jesus tell us to forgive seven times seventy. To pray for our enemies and to not return evil for evil.

I find when I point out this to so called christians they get upset.

they say things like the old testament is full of war , and are we expected to not defend ourselves.

I say we can mind our own business, close down our borders and stay out of wars that is the way to follow Jesus , not to invade other countries.

Funny thing is when I say this Jesus 's words do ring true. The world and its so called christians hate me for pointing out they are going against the teachings of our Lord.

What I do have contempt (bordering on "hatred") for is "faux" Christians, who whip up the flames of hatred and intolerance (totally against the teachings of Christ), against those they see as "other", or "less righteous" than they, themselves....holier-than-thou's.

Do not judge lest ye be judged. Oh but your not judging in your opinion right, LOL.

NO ! I am not judging.

I am clearly stating what the bible says!

Making a clear statement of fact is not judging Drnaline!

Facts are facts!

All the lies in the world cannot change the facts.

Satan wishes it were so , but in the end God will win and the lies of Satan will be exposed.

And Drnaline

Remember the scripture that says.

You will be judged with what measure you judge others ?

I am well aware of this scripture when talking with folks.

But I know I am not in danger here.

I am a christian who does not want to invade other countries and kill innocent people.

I am a christian who does not support a war monger president.

I am a christian who does not think muslims are our mortal enemies.

Yep! I am sure I am going to be judged rather leniently .

Because live by Christs doctrine to Love above all else.

To not return evil for evil.

To forgive seven times seventy.

To pray for my enemies as I do for people like you Dranaline.

Yep I am secure my heart is right as per the teachings of Christ.

How about you Dranaline?

I know where I stand with the Lord.

I also know that when people claim to be following the teachings of Christ and are way off it is not judgmental to point out they do not know what they are talking about.

As for self defense , one can never say what they will do till confronted by the situation drnaline.

I did shoot a man in the knee once who was breaking into my home. In the knee not to kill him. But I bet he still thinks of me on rainy days when that knee acts up. :p

The point is drnaline we could have protected our own borders very well and stopped terrorism, then Jesus would have nothing against us.

With the invasion of Iraq many hundreds of thousands have died and many innocent women and children. That is what Jesus will now have against this nation. The deaths of innocents.

This is your carbon copy.

What is that supposed to mean...as usual, you find it difficult to explain yourself.

I don't find it hard at all, it is you who have the problem understanding what seems every body else has no trouble with.
