Why do people bash Christianity so much?

Why do people bash Christianity so much? I don't know but would love to hear peoples opinion. Is it because some of them wear the stereotype of being judgemental or intolerant.. because isn't that exactly what you're doing by bashing them?

I am a Christian and I'm proud of it. I believe that there is a supreme being (God) who made me and who has a purpose for my life. I believe he sent his son to earth and that his name is Jesus. I believed he died on the cross for me to redeem me of my sins. I believe all of that.

If you don't believe it than thats fine, i'm not going to hit you across the head with a bible and say your going to hell, I'm not going to not be your friend, I'm not going to be mean to you, I'm not going to ignore you, but I will always be there if you ever do want to talk about God.

The main thing to remember about Christians is that they aren't perfect and they know it. I know I am no better than anyone else on this earth. We ALL have sinned (done something wrong) and no sin is greater than another. We just believe something different than you, we believe in something we cannot see. We have faith in a higher power. If you don't want to believe in that, that's fine but don't dissrespect what we believe.

The only thing I ever see on social news sharing sites like Digg, Reddit, Propeller, is some stupid article about bashing Christianity... Forums are filled with it and people can't get enough of it. It's all ridiculous. I'm tired of it.. why don't they post things like where a church bought a whole neighborhood full of houses and rent them out dirt cheap to poor people. Why don't they post things like a church buying 500 bicycles to inner city kids so they can get at least one present this year. Why don't they post things like a church donating food and drinks to over 200 families in one day.

There are great things going on in the church these days.. you should stop by one and take a look. Whatever you do, just don't bash other peoples beliefs. If your going to follow one thing your whole life then follow what your parents, the bible, and any great proverb says... do unto others as they would do unto you. Hope you enjoyed.

God Bless,
Sean
