I don't like Christianity, either.

That said, I don't like any of the Abrahamic religions, and I think it's bizarre that Christianity is the only one it's acceptable to vocally dislike.

i wouldn't call it bizarre, exactly, since it's pretty common for people to find it less acceptable to hate a group that's faced a lot of bigotry in the past vs. one that has historically always held a lot of power in your country. i doubt it's ever regarding the religions or their beliefs in themselves.

I think it’s because in most all Western countries Christians have been in charge, legally, culturally, or both, for centuries, so they have a lot of atrocities/ties to Western imperialism/colonization to answer for, and also on a more personal level a lot of the people who dislike Christianity do so because they were raised as some variety of Christian and grew to distrust/dislike Christianity as they grew up.

Exactly. I can't tell if ayrt is unaware because they live in a place where Christians are not the powerful majority or if they're being really disingenuous.

I'm not unaware. You can understand the reasoning behind something and still find that reasoning bizarre.

(Anonymous) 2018-06-10 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Disingenuous it is, then!

(Anonymous) 2018-06-10 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't understand why you think I'm being disingenuous.

AYRT

on a more personal level a lot of the people who dislike Christianity do so because they were raised as some variety of Christian and grew to distrust/dislike Christianity as they grew up

Yes, that describes me well, and I see some very disturbing similarities to Islam that I wish we could acknowledge without getting called racist.

Judaism gets a pass from me because its adherents stay in their own lane and don't try to force their beliefs on others.

By that logic don't Muslims have a lot of atrocities and deaths to answer for as well? Not to mention the Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia that regularly oppress people?

If you live in a country where Christianity is the establishment religion, that's the one that's most relevant to people's lives due to institutional power. Not directly via the churches, but through laws and institutions. Move to a country with a different majority religion and that's the one people complain about.

(Anonymous) 2018-06-11 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
is... this a joke?

in more spaces than not the complete opposite is true. judaism and islam are more than acceptable to vocally dislike.

tbh you sound non-american.

(Anonymous) 2018-06-11 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Vocally disliking Islam is considered 'Islamophobic' and tantamount with actual racism.
