Negative aspects of Christianity

Answer 1

The concept of Christianity is perfect; however, the "religion" of Christianity is not. Meaning, the concept that God gave to His people (Christians) is perfect, but His people are not perfect and throughout history, even today, people did many things in the name of Christianity that was certainly not approved of by God.

Answer 2

Religions are an easy target for criticism and it is important, whether we are criticising Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism or any other religion, that any such criticism is fair, respectful and sensitive. Having said that, some criticisms of Christianity could be:

• It is based on the unproven existence of the Christian God.
• Although the existence of its own God is unproven and unprovable, it has criticised other religions for for following gods whose existence is unproven and unprovable.
• Christianity claims to uphold high moral values, yet many of its leaders have been involved in financial and moral scandals.
• Many Christians claim that only with the support of the Holy Spirit can people uphold moral standards, yet statistical evidence clearly shows otherwise. Faith is not a prerequisite for righteousness.
  
• While Christian Churches do much to help the poor and suffering, so do non-Christian organisations, without the expense of ornate churches and a whole hierarchy of clergy.
