The concept of an invisible Sky God. Especially the Sky-God that ancient Semite tribes thought of (Yah-heweh)
In some people's minds, if you challenge that concept, you're evil. You're a wife beater, and you repent to Jesus, your wife is supposed to forgive you if she's a Christian too. You run over somebody's child and they're also Christian, and you repent, they're supposed to forgive you.
Deny the idea of a book collection whose compisition wasn't even unified was under debate until the 300's AD, you're hated for life.
That's right, you believe a collection of books aren't rooted in reality because it talks about magical trees, talking donkies, dragons, people coming back to life by touching inanimate objects, visions of weird beasts, demigods, monotheistical gods making avatars of themselves, and goat-faced demons, and you're seen as evil.
So I'm considered evil for doubting things that appear in Beauty and the Beast, (Magical plants) Shrek (Talking donkies) Secret of Mana (Ressurection from touching an inanimate object) any bad LSD trip ( Weird beasts ) Gods making avatars of themselves ( Hindu mythology ) demigods and goat faced demons (Greek demigod Hercules and god Pan).
I'm glad some people are consistent. Look, you may have your unidirectional conversations with your God, and I have no problem with it.
In fact, I have issues with certian groups that hate Christians like Micheal Moore and the various radio jocks on Air America..
But to in turn, some act like bigots because a few people think it's a stupid idea that a good God named Yahweh created the world within 6 days and parted the Red Sea.
(And if you look into Cananite mythology by the way, you'll see that they had a god named "Yah-heweh" before the Isrealites, who were in fact, a very related tribe.)
Also, you should read your Bibles more and talk to your local LDS's (Mormons). They know one of the true names of this ambiguous god. El'lohim or, simply, El.
Don't believe me, check it yourself.
A bit too confusing for you? Well here it is broken down into simple logic.
Facts are this:: You're talking to an invisible being unidirectionally. He does not respond back to you in a language you can understand. Surely the most powerful being can talk to you. Omnipotence really means OMNI-potent. (Omni is a prefix meaning "all" btw.)
You're also to believe that the God made a human avatar of himself (Or if you're from a Unitarian sect, 3rd definition, he sent his "son" down.) in the early 100's. At least he himself would have wrote about himself coming down to earth and leave it for mankind.
Nope. If you check the Bible, Jesus wrote a sum amount of..... zero books of the Bible. These are all eyewitness accounts of his life, according to tradition.
According to tradition, Moses wrote the Penteuch (The first 5 books of the bible which describes Moses' life.), which mentions him personally. Mohammed wrote the Quaran. You know how much Jesus wrote of the New Testement? Again. Zero.
You also believe that your basis in your dogma does not promote cruelty Which means it should not advocate anything that violates human rights.
The bible doesn't denounce slavery.
The book must also be devoid of outside ideas, proving that it's been unadulterated by "Pagan" forces.
In John 1:1, the scripture makes references again to avatars of god. An ancient Indian teaching.
So if I were to convert to Christianity, I'm supposed to demonize people that stated these claims, even if they had good evidence.
I'm also to believe in avatars, talking donkies, people coming back to life by touching an inanimate object, a kind god that made a bear maul some children because his favorite prophet was insulted.
I'm glad the scripture that talks about "Testing what's written" isn't applied here. (1 John 4:1)
Well good. Your religion sure has turned you into a good person. Bigotry's a good value.
I can just accept you as you are and think bad of you only when you pre-judge people and you are unreasonably violent towards them. But I won't.
=)) Christians are evil, even the ones that are tolerant!!! </Sarcasm>
