reasons for which others dislike Americans and Christians so much I have been discussing with Mike(ace3blok3) about how tehre are many people against Americans and Christians. Anyone want to Enlighten me into believing this?
--- TeR strikes as though it was what they were born to do, as though it's what they'd live to do, as though it's what they'll die doing....
Horrible fate for us non-christians on the day of judgement
Well, horrible fate for us non-christians when we die
Horrible treatment we get from Christian fundementalists that act like we're less human than them for not believing in their god
Anti-women
The brainwashing we get while in primary school because the primary schools are mostly owned by the church of england
The continued brainwashing we get while in secondary school
The fact that some christians who talk to you think your christian too for some reason
The fact that they look at you funny and say "you must believe in god" when you say you dont believe in god
The fact that some countries still use christianity as a base, despite being multi-cultural
The inability of the vatican to provide the liberal catholic world with a liberal pope
The fact the vatican still exists
The fact the vatican is based in probably the shitest western european country in the world that is still plagued by mafia, crime and commecial recession for like the 20th century running
The fact that the current pope used to be in charge of ensuring christian supremicy over Islam and other religions
The fact that the vatican have their own country (mind you, being in the middle of italy, you'd probably want to)
I'll do amerians tomorrow.

Re: reasons for which others dislike Americans and Christians so much Whoa whoa whoa......Lemme pull a few of these apart
The continued brainwashing we get while in secondary school
^umm no, you must have gone to a Christian acadamy or something, they dont teach religion at school, the try to keep religion as far from school as possible.
Stupid
^thats biased, im talking about facts that make people dislike them
The fact that they look at you funny and say "you must believe in god" when you say you dont believe in god
^they are just sharing their religion, not doing anything wrong.
The fact that some countries still use christianity as a base, despite being multi-cultural
^that isnt the religion's fault, blame the country
The brainwashing we get while in primary school because the primary schools are mostly owned by the church of england
^only in England my friend
Anti Gay
^If God wanted you gay, he'd make you gay, but he didnt, why go against the ultimate creation
Horrible fate for us non-christians on the day of judgement
Well, horrible fate for us non-christians when we die
Horrible treatment we get from Christian fundementalists that act like we're less human than them for not believing in their god
^become Christian, you wont feel offended.

… "^umm no, you must have gone to a Christian acadamy or something, they dont teach religion at school, the try to keep religion as far from school as possible."
Actualy, religions are free to preach in schools, especialy christianity, and especialy in the detestable kids like me who go to a state owned school and cant afford private education ("public" school).
"^they are just sharing their religion, not doing anything wrong."
Actualy they are, they are trying to force their beliefs on me. Like you are: ^become Christian, you wont feel offended.
"^that isnt the religion's fault, blame the country"
I do that too. But religion pulls strings too.
"^only in England my friend"
Actualy a lot of countries brainwash their kids with their main religion.
"^If God wanted you gay, he'd make you gay, but he didnt, why go against the ultimate creation"
What about choice, whats so wrong about having a male partner if your male, or a female partner if your female ?
" im talking about facts that make people dislike them"
Facts ? hatred is also decided on opinion.

… Exactly my point, its based on opinion, not fact. Mike, im not trying to Convert you, but you cant blame everything on religion. besides, you cant blame the religion for the awy the people open themselves to you.
--- TeR strikes as though it was what they were born to do, as though it's what they'd live to do, as though it's what they'll die doing....
… Who says I'm blaming everything on religion ? There is fact and opinion, facts are things that are certain, and opinion is a viewpoint that cant be made into a fact and therefore cant be right or wrong.
I have a good collection of facts and opinions of why I personaly dont like christians or christianity. They tend to have a horrible way of trying to convert people, which I really dont like.
Also another:
A lot of christians arent actualy christians, they dont follow the bible, goto church, or even really believe in god. Christianity is a farce.

Re: reasons for which others dislike Americans and Christians so much All pretty much true Ace. The primary reason I don't like Christianity is becuase it is so riddled with fallacies it isn't even funny. The contradictions in the Bible are legion and yet people try to rationalize them so they won't have to admit they are wrong. I think of all the time and money people devote to something that is blatantly false, and it makes me wish we could put it all to something more worthwhile. Now don't get me wrong, some Christian groups do good things, like helping the homeless, etc.... but all the time and money they waste trying to convert people just saddens me. Such blind devotion could be put to better use.
And Omni is right, they don't brainwash you in public schools over here, but there are some who are going to try. A group of people are trying to get "ID" which stands for intelligent design taught in public schools over here. They basically want it taught alongside evolution because they claim it can't explain everything we see in life today. While it sounds noble when they claim "we only want different viewpoints taught", the fact of the matter is, ID has no empirical basis, and is ultimately a smokescreen for the right wing religious types to get religion into school. That kind of stuff pisses me off cause it's wasting my and your tax money to teach nonsense that has no evidence at all.

Exactly. While some may find it gross, that doesn't make it a cardinal sin.
