What do you dislike the most about Christian teachings?
Personally, what I dislike the most about Christian teachings is its obsession with forgiveness.
According to Christian teachings, one is required to forgive someone even when the person in question does not deserve forgiveness, meaning that they don’t see anything wrong with their particular "sin." For instance, does a thief deserve to be forgiven if they don’t see anything wrong with stealing and perhaps even brag about their misdeeds? Of course not! But according to Christianity, which teaches blind love and compulsory forgiveness, the unrepentant thief still deserves grace! How absurd!
To me a sin -if there are such things- is killing off an entire species or ethnic group, violence -malicious and the premeditated type- and rape. If there are sins these are the only definition I subscribe to. Rape to me is an especially heinous SIN.
Yes, loads of other things are morally and ethically wrong but I don’t think they qualify as a sin.
What’s morally and ethically questionable is assuming you know what god wants, putting words in his/her mouth and nosing into someone else’s religious business.
~Oh and I love how holier than thou christians preach, love and charity and yet are so quick to turn into zealous crazies -murderous sometimes too ex: Dr. Tiller- when confronted with things they think are sins. Ex: Abortion, gay marriage ect

The ‘my way or hell’ mentality is ludicrous.
"God is real ur going to hell for not believing in him just hope u soul can be saved hahahah" – an ignorant fundie spreading that good ole ‘Christian love’.
"hell no. you’re going straight to hell. be proud of that" – fundie
"Because homosexuals are sinful, disease ridden sexual terrorists." – hate filled and really stupid fundie
"what would you do if you found yourself burning for eternity in a pit of fire and then realize god does exist, only it will be to late to save yourself… would you regret not saving yourself sooner?" – fundie
"When the ‘rapture’ happens, y’all will be talking about this same subject while you’re being burned and beaten by Satan for eternity while Christians will be having the time of the rest of their lives in Heaven. I guess that’s what you hoped for." – fundie
"Atheists invented faith in "no god" because they love their sin. Amost all people who have ever lived have had the sense to know that God exists. Atheists have the deviant faith." – hate filled ignorant fundie
"I think they are ignorant misguided wretched people. I don’t hate them at all but feel sorry for the fact they are blind and without hope. I feel sorry for them that they are on their way to hell if they don’t change." – dumb fundie
"You think they are poking fun, but really they are afraid. The atheist you see on Religion and Spirituallity are the fake Atheist that are afraid of there actually being a God. The real Atheist are else where because they don’t have time for this." – fundie
"r u guys planning on burning in hell for eternity cuz thats wuts gonna
happen." – fundie
"atheist are sad and bitter people, most of them have problems from childhood, like abuse or neglect. just love them and pray that they will turn loose of the hate before it’s too late." -fundie
"Atheists don’t believe in morality. Atheists are evil and immoral people. They get all offended when you say that, but their speak louder than their words.Atheists support liberalism, socialism, cultural relativism, promiscuity, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, blasphemy, intolerance of Christians, gun control, etc" – despicable fundie bigot
"In answer to your question, atheists simply do not WANT to believe in God. They do not want to be held morally accountable to a higher Authority. Jesus said it like this, He said that people refuse to come to Him "because their deeds are evil!" – hate filled ignorant fundie
"It means the{ATHEISTS} believe and worship Satan. They don’t believe in God or Jesus, or even Heaven. Agnostic don’t believe in anything. They don’t know what they believe in" – fundie
"Atheists invented faith in "no god" because they love their sin. Amost all people who have ever lived have had the sense to know that God exists. Atheists have the deviant faith." – Ignorant hate filled fundie
"The constant suppression of their innate desire to worship God gives birth to the frustration that fuels their hatred for believers." – really deluded ignorant fundie responding to why atheists don’t respect ignorant fundies.
"Because atheists like to lie about the Bible and Christians in order to try to advance the atheist religion." – hate filled fundie
"Sin is sin. Is being bigoted and racist and hateful worse than being homosexual? I dont think so." – hate filled fundie {YES, BIGOTS ARE FAR WORSE!!}
"Do Atheists relish the thought that freedom from God gives them freedom to sin ?Could it be that all Atheists really want is the freedom to Sin without having to be reminded that God will judge severely for unrepentant acts?Could it be that Atheists do not want to be held accountable for their sins? Therefore they deny the existence of God" – more ignorant fundie hate
"It’s easier to be an atheist, you use it to hide from the coming judgment." – deluded fundie living in fear

The turn-off for me, regarding organized Christianity, is the fact that it shoves its own superiority down its followers’ throats.

well it depends how you look at it and your right some Christians do exactly what your talking about and forgive compulsively and i guess its because they believe that there is good and every human being and if they forgive and teach other to forigve they will go straight to heaven to meet Jesus Christ once they die but some other crazy Christians do the exact opposite and believe the littlest things are not to be forgiven and that you will burn in hell which i believe doesnt even exist but if u sin a little sin u will burn in hell God will never forgive you and this they get from the Bible which was written by immortal men that didnt even know wtf they were saying and i think in Corinthians one verse says if your child disobeys you you must stone your child to death but i doubt anyone in their right mind does that anyway i hope i answered your question in the first few sentences sorry i got sidetracked with my dislike of those crazy christians

I dislike the hypocrisy I seem to come across- especially with fundies.
They all claim to be loving, honest people.
However, most of them twist facts and blatantly lie to try and convince you that they’re right.
Not only that, but most of them are so rude, too! The minute you disagree with them, they start hurling every insult they can possibly think of at you. It’s annoying!
