It's like religion is the best place to hide for a lot of hypocrites. I am not Christian nor was I raised as one, but I think it is amusing how people of all religions act alike in terms of hypocrisy. One could say it is best not to judge the scripture being followed by its adherents. Then again if people are unable to correctly follow the religious teachings, then doesn't that say something about the religious teachings themselves?

I call myself a Christian and I don't like Christians. I agree with the points you make and they are with sound reasoning but you are speaking to the people in the cave. They only know what they have been taught by their pastors and from their culture. We all have a narrow view of the big picture and when we decide to work together in Love and Peace then it will all make sense. Do not judge lest you be judged. It reminds of when a man accused another man of the same crime he committed and there was no way he would have known unless he had committed the same crime. I like the post!!! I like how most people just bash it before they understand it. You should do a piece on Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Mormons. Excellent post! If there was a hammer for this nail, you would have hit it. I think its funny. I call myself a Christian and I don’t like Christians.

I wrote an article, which I never posted, titled, "What I hate about being a Christian," and it pretty much covered many of the areas you listed. Being in an online ministry myself I am subject to all types of Christian opinions and many times I just don't get it. Why are we so fearful? Why is the devil behind everything we don't understand? Why do we accept so much tradition as truth? As much I love God and am a disciple of Jesus Christ, sometimes I hate wearing that title "Christian" because truly, we have a lot of issues and that's okay, accept when we think we are more holy and righteous than others. I heard a pastor once say, "Stop judging those who sin differently than you do." I recently posted on my facebook, "Can I be a disciple of Christ without being a Christian and 90% of the answers were no. I know many Christians who are loving and truly reflect the love of God, but it really scares me just how narrow-minded and closed off we can be all in the name of Jesus, which doesn't characterize the love of Christ much of the time.

I can find no truth in any of your points other than it is made up by someone who wants to vent and label Christians in a false manner. True there are some who maybe call themselves as Christians are similar to your list but not true Christians. True Christians are the most caring and loving people in the world. After all to be a Christian means to be Christlike. I suppose you don't like Christ either! I do not know what so called Christians you are examining that gives you your 10 reasons.

Christians are humans. Humans regardless of religion have practiced the listed ten throughout the ages. My biggest problems with Christians is that they use their faith to cover up the "human" truth about themselves to themselves. Since they're "saved", they no longer need to survey their internal landscape of humanity to see that indeed, they are just like everyone else. Only they use God as perfume to cover up the brown roses in their lives, and usually, everyone but they can see it.

God is the only person who has to right to judge and one day he will judge everyone and he will ask you about these 10 reasons why you hate his people what will your answer be then? how is any of this true? and who are you to judge any person?

I have known many christians, and most don't even come close to your list. But, I will give it to you that most people believe this about them. That's not quite the same thing though, is it (at least it shouldn't be considered that way). In fact, I have met many that claim they are not christian that exhibit some of the claims, so perhaps we aren't talking about "christians" per se, but rather just about people in general. I believe that there is a good percentage of many folks who exhibit many of the uptight and extreme characteristics outline throughout most of any type of group. This is proven in many portrayals from many groups. So, perhaps the argument against christians is just easier because there is an assumption that those people fit the stereotype without examining the truth - an easy target. Why are they an easy target? Because if they challenge you on your accusation, then you simply claim they are being hostile and hypocrites. Pretty much a no win situation. By design? Perhaps.

I understand you have good reason to think that but you cant pin those stereotypes on all Christians. And also alot of those are common among Christians only because they are common among humans.
