Why is it that “Christians” are so judgemental?

I thought the key point to the Bible was love and understanding. So why is it that the people who study the Bible the most are filled with the most hate? There is so much judgement, and for that reason, I don’t even go to church anymore. My main problem is the fact that the gay and lesbian community are being targeted because of who they choose to love. “The Bible says its a sin”, plz. Check out gnostic christianity for the true meaning of that passage. BTW Christians, its also a sin to eat meat on Fridays, to eat all shellfish and fish without scales, and scores of other things that are totally ignored. Another thing being forgotten is free will. That’s a gift from the Lord that we were blessed with, so how can anyone judge anybody else for the choices they make. We were given that right. I can’t speak for the gay community, since I’m not gay, but I do have relatives that are gay, and as long as they’re happy, so am I. Shouldn’t that be the only thing that matters?
I’m know not saying Christians are the only ones who are judmental at all, and I’m not saying it’s all Christians. The point is speaking as a Christian myself, I know that we are taught to love our fellow man, not love our fellow man as long as they do as we wish. I’m talking about acceptance. That’s all. And this is only based on Christians that I know, not every single church going person on the planet.

Christians why do you preach “Love one another as I have loved you” but you scorn gays and lesbians?

I mean if their lifestyles or relationships aren’t interfering with yours, why not leave it alone???

Why are there so many wacko Christians on Yahoo Answers?

I notice a high number of Christians who are all anti-evolution and anti-any-opinion-but-their’s on Yahoo Answers… I thought computers were the devil in born-again cults?

I’m Catholic and almost every priest, bishop, even monk I’ve spoken with has told me the Bible being taken literally (as it is with wacko Christians) is basically idol-worshipping where the symbols are words and phrases rather than golden cows. All of them also think evolution exists (even the Vatican acknowledges that evolution – not creationism – should be taught in the classroom!!!) and don’t doubt its existance, but see God as the prime mover (as he is in St. Thomas Aquinas’ logic)…

So born-agains, et al… Please answer me:

Why do you have so much hate in you that drives you to oppress the rights of gay and lesbian couples?

Why do you claim to stand for the love of Christ when you refuse to reconcile with the Catholic Church and prejudice against Catholicism?

Why do you work to undermine science?
If you think illiterate peasants and Canaanite oral story tellers whose words have been translated and reworked and revised from oral to Phonecian to Greek to Latin to 18th century English are reliable sources for who and how someone or thing created matter, earth, the milky way, and the universe, you’re a wacko Christian. Period.
As for extremism, why is it the monks in the Catholic church keep quiet and to themselves and reconcile and purify themselves without going on TV shows telling gay people they’re going to hell.

Who the hell are you (wacko Christians) to determine what characteristics of a person dooms them to hell? What arrogance! You have some really sick definitions of the word “love” if you think it means taking it upon yourself to communicate and “spread the word”. Does anyone think spreading the word of God is cultural imperialism? How to wacko Christians justify destroying the national traditions of countless peoples and cultures in favor of forcing them to be submissive followers of their religion? (this can be proven by the fact that the vast majority of Cardinals in the Catholic Church are from Europe even though most Christians are from overseas)
Thank God the Catholic Church formed if your accusation is true! If Christianity in its non-Catholic form spread throughout the western Mediterranean, the western tradition would have died and we’d ALL be wacko Christians!!! The Roman Catholic church is the ONLY reason the ancient texts of our ancestors survived and allowed the western powers to rise into prosperity in the high middle ages. If Christianity in its wacko form had spread throughout Europe Cicero, Plato, Sophocles would have been BURNED!
RE non-christian wacko comment…

Catholics worship what the icons represent, not the icons themselves. How come you love Jesus but not his mother who bore him? Do you hate your mother? Do you hate your Grandmother? Do you hate the Roman Empire that executed Christ even though its the nation that spread the word of God to all corners of Europe? Stop looking at the world in black and white, wacko.

Are born again Christians and Evangelical ministers really agents of the Devil?

If the devil really existed, don’t you think that he would present himself as a “holier than thou” and cause discord, brew up hatred of different groups (gay/lesbian, pro-choice, liberal thinkers), burn books, foment war.

When you really think about it, these fundamentalist (Christian and others) are more than likely a guise of the Devil incarnate.
Some of the answers received indicate that the “false” prophets may be doing the work of the devil. How do you tell which is false. They all quote and use the Bible in their “work”. My pastor is preaching the “truth” but yours is a “false prophet”

Already, one of the answerers spouted on against gays, liberals etc. Watch out for the forked tongues.
Given that if the Devil exists (and the fundamentalists say he does) then he will try to takeover by devious means. He will claim the he follows Christ when he doesn’t, he will cite chapters and verse from the Bible twisting and interpreting to his advantage. So…

How can you “discern” between the Devil and Born-Again, Evangelical, Fundamentalist faithful? Outwardly the will behave the same way. In fact he would probably appear even more faithful than a mere human follower of Christ.

where do people get the right to judge?

i have seen many questions on here saying gay and lesbians are against religion, racism, etc. Well a lot of these people claim to be “good” christians does it really feel that way to judge other people god created? I personally am not gay or a lesbian but i take offense because i have friends and family who are and i dont feel people should have the right to through judgements in their religion! What do you think?
