do you enjoy TRYING to crush peoples face for no reason?
No reason? Let's consider that. Even though religious faith is a net-negative on society -- a comment I am willing to offer details on that you can investigate and attempt to refute -- I would not care in the slightest what people believe in private if they kept it to themselves. If, that is, there was some effort to address reality and improve society when those beliefs lead to harming other people.
What do I mean by that? Am I just being cruel? Absolutely not. You asked me a question and I am addressing it -- though I admit I could be wrong. If you can show me that I am on any level, I will not deny reality. I will change my mind, but not because you are offended or dislike my opinion on any level. Facts and reality. Not opinions. That's all I ask.
Yet, even if I were a Christian, I would be concerned with the actions of my fellow Christians. Are you concerned? If you are, what are you doing about those actions? On that note, here is something I wrote earlier that applies to your question;
====================================
I have noticed, as you may have as well, that there are Christians that do things in the name of Christianity that are negative. Christians that promote bigotry and ignorance. Christians that advocate actions that lead to harm and even death. Christians that advocate not caring about this world and who want it to be destroyed in a polluted and fiery apocalypse.
If there were enough Christians that effectively dealt with those problems, I would not have any concerns. Believe as you want. As far as I would be concerned, the real world problems would be solved.
Unfortunately, that is not the world we are in. Most Christians aren't doing nearly enough. Many unfortunately are actively promoting these negative goals -- from paying money passively to going out and doing these negative actions themselves. Some of the strongest advocates for those negative actions are the leaders and congregants of the larger Christian churches and organizations; this is not a problem with a few fringe groups or eccentric cult leaders.
Too many Christians not only do not take responsibility, they are leading the charge for these negative actions. They justify bigotry and ignorance, they justify actions that result in the deaths of others that could be easily avoided.
As a responsible person, someone who cares about the world and the future of humanity, I have to act. Even if it is not my fault that these Christians are doing harm, it is my responsibility to do something positive. You can consider it a moral obligation. If that means that I have to hold up a mirror so that my fellow humans look at what they believe, then I'll take that modest step. Maybe that will be enough to drain the air out of some of those bad ideas?
My question to you is not what you believe, but what are you doing about the acts your fellow Christians perform in the name of Christianity that spread hate, bigotry, ignorance, pain, and death?
