Why are Christians discriminated?

Answer 1

Only by their mental delusions of persecution in a country where they are clearly the dominant religious practice.

A:

It is my believe that Christians are discriminated against because of their religious practices. Generally speaking they are heretics in their own religion; their views often contradict their own claims. Such as:

• They claim to be a religion of peace, but it is common for them to be or call for violence, or worse;
• To call for the discrimination of any person they feel does not support their religious view,
• They claim to love everyone; except of course gay people - because "god hates fags" (quoting at least one sect, but it is a general sentiment).
• To extend on that they claim marriage is one man one woman under the teachings of the bible, but it (marriage) is only mentioned twice in the bible; and it is between one man and his many wives (in both quotes); which of course contradicts their view (another thing normally ignored); not to mention it violates the commandment of their savior's commandment,
• They also claim that gay's can't go to heaven, because they are gay (under old testament rules; ignoring the commandments of Jesus)
• They claim that their 'god' loves everyone, but cannot explain why they are sent to hell if they don't worship 'him' (other than their god is a jealous god, which is also a sin by their own bible (religious teachings)),
• They normally act or react violently to discrepancies pointed out in their own bible, such as:
• 1) Moses returned with 613 commandments, they claim only 10; and ignore the only commandment given by Jesus (in the New Testament, the only one they are supposed to follow by the words of Jesus himself),
• 2) They cannot explain why the other disciples books were not included in the bible (and only part of these books were included to begin with, and highly edited at that (by comparing the originals with todays bible))
• 3) They get very mad when their own scriptures point out the existence of other gods (See 10 Commandments "you shall have no other gods before me" - their own god admitting he is not the only one, or that is what he would have said right?)
• 4) No mention of dinosaurs in the bible; it is interesting to note that they were not discovered until after the bible was written by the catholic church (kind of hard to say oops, and amend it now)
• 5) the fact that their own bible was written by the Catholics, although they claim they are not catholic by following it (when introduced to the changes the church made from the original texts) - they normally start using bad language at this point;
• They use terms like "True Belief" or "[True] Faith" in order to ignore these plus other facts (a state of mental disturbance by any mental definition)
• They make absurd claims that historians are out to discredit them, when facts in history point out that their bible or beliefs are not true,
• They also claim that a non-historian's (Bible Scholars) are authoritative to history when those histories conflict with their bible, or its teachings,
• They do not adhere to the tenets of their own belief (as a general rule), many of them 'work on the sabbath day' - and or they don't attend services as required by the religion
• Many cannot explain the discrepancy in following the teaching of Jesus by ignoring the old testament as he commanded, and their insistence to follow it contrary to his commands,
• Most claim that "God" as it appears on money does not mean their god but a general god (in defense against lawsuits) - until you utter "God Dam" and then they tell you not to use the name of their god in vein,
• Most claim that the United States was founded on Christianity, and ignore the historical documents that "the united states is in no sense founded on the christian religion" (claiming that is not what the treaty of Tripoli says, even though it is available to the public saying just that),
• Most claim that the United States' founding fathers were "Christians" when in fact only 1 was; the others did not believe in Jesus Christ at all (in fact Thomas Jefferson wrote his own bible taking out the catholic changes; a very unpopular book among Christians)
• They also ignore the attempt by the Baptists in Virginia to replace "Natures God" with "our lord Jesus Christ" being defeated, by not one person voting FOR it (c.1780's)
• Most claim that taking the 10 commandments down from government buildings is an attack on their religion, but then they protest the building of a Muslim church near ground zero (even if it is on private property),
• Most claim that Jefferson and Madison's statements for an inseparable wall between church and state only includes some parts of the government; or it was misquoted - they also claim the later court decisions by judges (from the early 1800 through today) are by (leftist) judges that are trying to destroy them
• They also claim that their religion today is different than the ones back then, both in approach and practice; but ignore without comment the letters between Thomas Jefferson and the Danbury Baptists on issues of today, discussed way back then,
• They hate it when you point out that "Under God" was not added to the pledge of allegiance until the 1954, and that it was defeated several times before that,
• They also hate it when you point out that "God" was not added to the money of the United States until 1956,
• That really sets them off when they try and state that it was "God" who helped keep the country free and win all the wars (before that, odd that since adding that we have (more or less) gotten our respective asses kicked),
• They claim that disallowing them to pray in school is a violation of their rights; when the original Elementary School act of 1817 prohibited any ministers of a church from even entering school grounds while school was in session,
• They hate that James Madison stood up and said that the introduction of any prayer or religious reading at the beginning of any government activity (congress, senate, etc) is a violation of church and state,
• They get really mad when you remind them that under IRS code for churches, talking about politics on church grounds violates the non-profit agreement and makes them taxable - which means that their church sponsored support of one candidate over another is a violation as well

While not exhaustive, that is at least some of the major points of why I dislike followers of the bible. There is not a single right in this country that this religion has not; A) taken advantage of to further their own goals, while B) trying to get those rights taken away from those who oppose their goals in any way. I was once asked how I would feel if there were no Christians, and I replied safe in my rights now that they are not here to try and take them away, based upon their religious morals.
