Are Christians above judgement, perfect, or off-limits for some reason?

I just thought it was ironic, considering the thread title.

When did it become that being a Christian meant being an intolerant, hateful bigot? I grew up learning the positive message of Christ: Do well and treat others with respect, and your reward will be in heaven. Somehow, for a seemingly large group of Christians, that notion has gone lost: It has turned into the thunders and lights of the wrath of God, and into condemning everyone who disagrees with them to burning in the flames of hell. Somehow, present-day Christians forgot about turning the other cheek, abandoned the notion of treating others like they would like to be treated themselves; they’ve become bent on preaching, judging, and selfishly attempting to save the souls of others by condemning them. What happen to love? To tolerance? To respect?” — S.P., Nashville

There are about a million things I’d like to say to Christians, but here’s the first few that come to mind: Please respect my right to be the person I’ve chosen to become. Worship, pray and praise your God all you want–but please leave me, and my laws, and my city, and my school alone. Stop trying to make me, or my children, worship your god. Why do we all have to be Christians? Respect my beliefs; I guarantee they’re every bit as strong as yours. Mostly, please respect my free will.

I grew up Jewish in a Southern Baptist town, where I was constantly being told that I killed Christ, ate Christian babies, and was going to hell. So I learned early that many Christians have – or sure seem to have – no love in their hearts at all. It also seems so odd to me that Christians think that if I don’t accept their message my ears and heart are closed, because it seems to me like they have excessively closed ears and hearts to anyone else’s spiritual message and experience.

You seem awfully defensive.

You seem awfully aggressive. If someone had started a thread slagging off Muslims, I doubt you would have agreed with it.

Depends on the Muslims and what they'd done.

If we were talking about the type of Christians I used to associate with, who jumped in and helped people affected by flood and tornadoes, I would defend them. But we're talking about judgmental pricks.

You're always moaning about people generalising about Muslims.

Lurker isn't really talking about anything. He started a random thread for no apparent reason about a Christian dating site. Perhaps you should ask him why rather than use the opportunity to slag off Christians yet again.

I thought it was funny, just like I think this is funny:



Lighten up, or somebody's going to draw a "Crybaby Jesus" picture to mock the likes of you, next.

Now why would they want to do that? Because they're as childish and bigoted as you?

Sure, that's why. We're all horrible people, our hearts pump not blood like yours, but a black, noxious fluid and our souls smell like cigarette smoke. And we eat babies wrapped in gold foil at our secret meetings, where we plot how to hurt your feelings.

Why do you hate Christians? Is it because you're gay?

As soon as WKRG posted its question, self-identified Christians began posting hateful, violence-filled comments attacking Scott. While some commenters told Scott to leave the country or attacked her appearance, some went as far as to make death threats.

Some comments were:

   “Take her Atheist self somewhere else. This is One Nation Under God!”

   “Always something. Gays want gay rights, blacks have black history month, and so on. But you let Christians preach or want something posted about GOD somewhere and its horrible! But least I know when he comes back I won’t be left here to deap w (sic) all the horrible things!” [source]

One person said Scott should be shot for “treason” and another wrote, “she’ll burn in hell when her time comes.”
