Why Are Nairalanders More Apt To Criticize Christianity than other Religions by Nobody: 1:24pm On Jan 26, 2012
I have noticed a trend on Nairaland.

You dare criticize or expose concerns about certain religions and you are almost hounded out of the forum. You are called a bigot, dogmatic fool , fanatic and other unmentionable names.

Except for the brave among us, many have simply cowered away due to constant threats, abuse, insults, bullying and curses which range from one's parents to his own life.

But Christianity seems to bear the brunt of mockery 24x7 and no one seems to bat an eyelid or even still give a hoot about this trend.

Not that TRUE Christians care , the truth will always remain the truth irrespective, but why do we have such a hatred for Christianity and an acceptance of false religion , one of which is extremely violent, no names mentioned.

For example MOG ( many of whom I do not agree with ) are abused , castigated, ridiculed , caricatured, undermined and even cursed on a constant, relentless and malicious basis.

If this trend was reversed, say for ISLAM, we would have had a war on our hands.

Can someone help me out here. undecided undecided

What have Christians done to deserve so much hate  undecided, we are not the ones killing thousands including gays, perverts and innocents, we are not the ones issuing death threats, we are not the ones forcing others to convert with a knife to the neck.

This is looking to me anyway, like a last day phenomenon of cataclysmic spiritual proportions.

frosbel,

you of all people say that there is a difference between arguing ideas and religion and hating the adherents.i dont think christians are bad people or should be hated.i love my christian friends.i have nothing against.i dont see the falsehood of christianity that they are made to believe or they believe in as their fault.also,if they have faults i dont see the fault as that of christianity even though christinaity has its faults.

the problem with you is that you claim to love muslims.but when these same people you claim to love commit bad actions which are even rejected by other muslims and contrary to what islam teaches,you hold islam responsible and not the individuals.you know well what you are doing.you are bias and using the ill of the followers to tarnish the reputation of anothe religion which you see as threat to christianity because of its popularity.

moreover,your actions on nairaland dont speak well if we are to hold christians responsible for them or even christianity.

i want you to know that discussing ideas is not an attack against people.and the actions of people are not necessarily the teaching of their religion.muslims could be very bad people,but that does not make islam wrong.i want you to love islam and hate muslims.in that way,we can think and discuss ideas and know what is good and criticize people for their actions.otherwise,saying you love muslims and hate islam is simply encouraging bad actions just to get your way of criticizing another religion.

also,the title of the thread is not correct.

may be those who are neither muslim nor christian should comment on the claim.
Re: Why Are Nairalanders More Apt To Criticize Christianity than other Religions by Acidosis(m): 1:42pm On Jan 26, 2012
Reason is because, most of your brothers here on nairaland are neither christians nor muslims. But they are first to jump at any christian related thread as if they go to church. You'll see them jumping like hungry frogs to castigate Pastors and Bishops mainly because they are blessed.
Re: Why Are Nairalanders More Apt To Criticize Christianity than other Religions by LagosShia: 1:47pm On Jan 26, 2012
could it be also that those who are neither christian nor muslim target christianity on nairaland more because of the infamous MOG in nigeria and the way christians preach and agressively claim to be possessed with holy ghost? may be they are outraged? if muslims refute christianity and there is muslim-christian argument and debate,we can understand that the two are both missionary religions and they have opposite beliefs.but why others would hate christianity is beyond me.they must have their reasons.they should share with us.the pagans,atheists,e.t.c. should please come forward.

frosbel,

It is not just on Nairaland it is the world over as you well know. In the UK for example as I am sure you know there is an attack on Christianity and Christian freedoms almost daily led by the media.

But this just further confirms that Christianity is the truth, Why? Jesus said the following:

John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

John 17:14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

Absolutely !!  funny enough , we can lump radical islamists , atheists, pagans into one group we should call[b] haters of the truth [/b] grin

On a more serious note, Jesus Christ was hated and emphatically mentioned that ALL TRUE Christians will be hated of all nations ( nations in the Greek translates to ' peoples with diverse ethnicities' ) for his names sake.

"All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." - Mark 13:13

frosbel,there is nothing called "radical Islam".there are radical and extremmist muslims.but there is only one Islam and one Quran and One God.

so you are only using that to attack Islam unjustifiedly and use it as cover.when you attack muslim beliefs,you dont see what radicals believe and what others believe.you do so against Islam by misinterpreting and misrepresenting it.so really why do you complain when others get back at you? you shouldn't think you or christianity can intimidate people.if at all,christians and christianity get intimidated by reasoning.christianity is one of the most irrational religions in the world.when faced,all you guys give is "holy spirit" and "born again" and other answers you can NOT think through with nor prove or confirm.

Which is why I  make a distinction between radical Muslims and Muslims. Appears you do not fall under the category of the former from your recent statements, even though you have often used most Incendiary language in the past.

However if you see where I am coming from, having escaped death twice in Kano , you will understand.

Where I lived in Kano as a corper, some Hausa men caught a Christian preaching the gospel , invited him into their house under the pretext of interest, and used a razor blade to systematically cut him all over his body and warn him.

Even on my way to church , I could see the hate on their faces and daggers in my back when I walked passed.

Obviously this does not apply to all Muslims, since I also had Hausa Muslim colleagues and friends.

Question is why do the ones that commit these violent acts do them in the first place, I guess we all know the answer !!

@frosbel. So funny you are asking this question but you are part of the problem. The way and manner you join others to insult every known pastor is shameful to say the least of a xtian. I am not here to defend any man of God but if a pastor like oyedepo who has ministries in ova 100nations of the world with millions of ur fellow xtians as members is being labelled a fraud by you and your fellow nairalanders then you don't have any respect for your fellow xtians that attend his church( and they are in thousands) and I don't think you deserve any respect too from non xtians. Don't tell me you are trying to expose their fraudulent activities cos you will appear more arrogant than expected. The same bible you are reading is the same bible that millions of their followers are reading too yet they still consider these people their pastors. Insulting such men of God is tantamount to insulting millions of their followers who are fellow xtian. Cos pastor adeboye bought a jet you said you were reconsidering your position on him wether or not he is a true man of God. How shallow your thinking can be and how arrogant for you to say such. Paul critisised peter at a time but never said peter was a fraud. That you are a pastor does not mean you are not going to do soomething wrong and that you did something wrong does not make you a fraud. When miriam and co criticised moses, they had genuine reasons to do so but God was angry with them anyway. If you were to be alive when jesus was in flesh, you will be the first person to label him a fraud cos you are looking for a perfect being in flesh which you can't find anyway. You talk about hypocrisy in a thread but I see u displaying such traits. Imagine yourself saying there is nothing like Spirit of Insanity! Why must you always criticise? What will you call the spirit that jesus sent away from that man into pigs in ur bible? I am anglican but I don't go out of my way to completely condemn what others have just to be heard. David had an opportunity to kill saul, and at that time he could have easily label saul a fraud or even murderer but spiritual things are deeper than that so he left him alone. You can criticise what a man of God does, writing them off as a MOG cos of what they do makes you no different from unbelievers. Is peter a fraud? But he denied jesus three times while jesus was still alive? Is david a fraud? But he was richer than oyedepo in his days and slept with anoda mans wife and God stii made the child of that union king in place of other more legitimate children. Are u yourself a fraudulent xtian? But I know you are not perfect, possibly a liar, a cheat, wife beater regardless of what you pretend to be on nairaland.

From reading this piece, it appears you are one of those who kowtow to every wind of doctrine under so called MOG.

I do not abuse them or insult them for that matter.

I expose the doctrines they teach which are dangerous to the soul of Man and especially young Christians.

BTW , God does not measure success by Quantity but Quality.

What is the purpose of having millions of lukewarm members , God will rather settle for a lesser amount of dedicated , loyal and holy Christians.
Re: Why Are Nairalanders More Apt To Criticize Christianity than other Religions by Nobody: 5:15pm On Jan 26, 2012
Imagine yourself saying there is nothing like Spirit of Insanity!

Can you kindly show me in the bible where there is such a thing as a 'spirit of madness'   undecided   , talk less of asking God to put the spirit of madness into your enemies. I say what madness !


Why must you always criticise?

I have realised the error of my ways, I no more criticise, I expose falsehood.


What will you call the spirit that jesus sent away from that man into pigs in ur bible?


The spirits were just your ordinary day to day demons , they possessed the man , made him go berserk and asked to be cast into a herd of pigs.

I very much doubt that Jesus would have concurred if the demons had requested that they be cast into BOKO HARAM  grin grin


You can criticise what a man of God does, writing them off as a MOG cos of what they do makes you no different from unbelievers. Is peter a fraud?

But I know you are not perfect, possibly a liar, a cheat, wife beater regardless of what you pretend to be on

I have never written off anybody.

Who am I to do this  undecided undecided undecided

I am not a cheat, wife beater - no way  grin grin and definitely not a liar.


My advise for you  is , worship GOD , stop following and worshipping men !!!

I am glad you got this off your chest, must have been a heavy load to carry grin grin grin grin

Phew !!
. I don't live my life suspecting that every MOG is after the money in my pocket. I give willingly when I want to give and wtot any sense of guilt. So why should I carry any burden simply because you make it ur business to criticise everybody and every doctrine. You people have turned this religious section into a sort of competition between xtians and muslims. Infact, I see most of the thread as inciting rather than encouraging. If you want to evangelise a muslim, it is not by calling mohammed a sexual pervert otherwise that will make an average muslim more stubborn.what is ur mission on nairaland? To win souls or to make them more stubborn? If after attending winners chapel I learnt some principles that makes me a success I don't owe u an explanation if I decide to use my entire salary as tithe. Regardless of what u think, Nigerians are not fools. If they are not seeing proofs in what these people are saying they won't pay their tithe and remember they are not forcing them to pay that tithe. If I am jobless for years and after attending a church I got solution to my problem and I decide to invest back in that same church I don't think I am fool. That you don't believe in what I am doing does not mean you should label me a fool by calling my pastor a fraud that is duping me. Anyway continue to enjoy yourself inciting muslims against mohd and inciting xtians against their pastors and let's how much you will be able to populate heaven, assuming that is your intention.

Guy, surely you believe in the End-times Prophecies in the Book of Revelations - Christians will bear worse brunt than abusive words and colorful phrases - they will be tortured, burned at the stake and kept alive simply to be tortured and killed again. not my wish but it has been foretold in the Bible. There is also Hope of Rescue as foretold but your beliefs will be stretched to numbing point - trust me. the World has it in for Christians (as foretold) grin grin grin just following the direction of the thread,

I agree with you on several points. one thing is clear - there are bad Christians as well as Muslims who do terrible things in the name of religion. Unfortunately recent events have made people directed their frustrations on Islam and perceived scriptural support for what is going on. I also believe that a lot of Muslims are fighting the criticism by equally attacking what they perceive as what is equally wrong with Christianity. This is not helped by the ongoing friction between the two religions at even the best of times.

Truth is I love my Muslim friends even if I don't agree/believe with a word of the Quran so also them. To resolve this war of words is simple in concept but difficult to implement. I do think the first way to go about it is to show respect to the religions for the sake of the adherents we claim to like ( can we truly say we like them and disrespect their religion) and to seek to learn more like tbaba 1234's thread. Of course I am certain that no one will convince me of embracing Islam based on what I know but I am sure I will appreciate it more.

for Muslims, I really think bad Muslims are tarnishing your image and you guys are NOT doing enough to isolate them. a lot of atrocities are being committed in the name of God which you guys ought to issue fatwas, disclaimers and so on. The silence is taken as tactile approval. its also important that you guys perish the thought that anything American or western is Christian. Its just not right. things over there are done for practical/political reason of survival of the state and furtherance of its interest and not in Jesus' Name.

i dont blame those mallams.and i dont pity your friend.i wonder why the "holy spirit" did not tell him not to preach there because he was risking his life.may be the "holy spirit" of christians misled him?

can you imagine if all the threads exposing christianity i have started i preach them in a christian village what could have happened to me?especially if the village have uneducated and unexposed people!!! how can someone that would be talking grammar try to preach to illitrates where they are predominant and expect no reaction?dont you think they would feel being taken advantage of?

i am a Shia Muslim and i still choose the people i talk with about SHIA-ISLAM.you dont just go anywhere and to anyone and start preaching.

in fact as for myself,when christians come to preach to me,i welcome them with love and care.i even thank them for coming.at the end they would be the ones begging to leave!!! grin grin grin

you have only come to demonstrate the fraudster you are.

frosbel should actually persecute you since that is what he knows how to do best.

you have twice so far presented forgeries labelling them as islamic texts most likely copied from anti-islamic websites.

so dont let your zeal take control of you.you're being led by fervour.

you also cherish argumentation that go no where and that is actually what i dont tolerate of you.you engage in personal tit for tat instead of examining the facts and evidence put forth where you always get beaten.

and dont expect that i'd engage you in long endless personal exchanges because i am here to demolish christianity and expose its falsehood and reveal the islamic truth.i am not here to hold "my dad is stronger than your dad" contests.

This is not helped by the ongoing friction between the two religions at even the best of times.
the muslims especially fight back when they have come to realize that the attempt to hold islam responsible for the actions of criminals among muslims is a christian missionary tactic to "win souls".you guys do that on this forum by posting different pictures and news about what crime this or that muslim man has done.so the blame really lies on those who are trying to exploit the situation.and those exploiting the situation are the christian missionaries.



Truth is I love my Muslim friends even if I don't agree/believe with a word of the Quran so also them. To resolve this war of words is simple in concept but difficult to implement.

respect does not necessary mean you have accepted the beliefs of others.respect is what makes peace reign.but people like "frosbel" dont know that.they engage in using bad expressions and examples thinking others can't do the same to christianity.far from it!dont take the silence of others as submission.



for Muslims, I really think bad Muslims are tarnishing your image and you guys are NOT doing enough to isolate them. a lot of atrocities are being committed in the name of God which you guys ought to issue fatwas, disclaimers and so on.

Its just not right. things over there are done for practical/political reason of survival of the state and furtherance of its interest and not in Jesus' Name.

we guys are not doing enough?is there not government?when arm-robbers wreck havoc do you criticize the role of parenthood?

the situation is worse like i said earlier when the missionaries try to exploit the situation to label the other religion and make it llook as if it is the religion that is asking its followers to do certain actions,which in reality the majority of muslims do not agree with.

personally,i only support or rather sympathize with muslim groups that fight occupation of their lands particularly israeli occupation.they have the right to defend themselves and reclaim their stolen lands that zionism took from them.aside from that,any muslim group or anyone who kill people outside the lands occupied or for the saking of their aim to "convert the world" and "fighting the infidel",that is not islam.Islam tells us there is no compulsion in religion and we are only to defend ourselves.so why would the christian missionary try to paint islam with the actions of a minority?why?isn't that promotion of american and israeli propaganda? israel in particular cherishes the idea of having around the world perverted muslims causing havoc.they use that to portray themselves as the victims.when muslims cause unjustified problem in nigeria like boko haram and muslims are fighting israel,the "jewish state",definitely the ignorant man on the street who is christian would say:"those muslims again"!!!so you can see that there is big element of propaganda.the christian who is sincere about devoting his life to God should not try to make Islam and the majority of Muslims his enemy.

i dont blame those mallams.and i dont pity your friend.i wonder why the "holy spirit" did not tell him not to preach there because he was risking his life.may be the "holy spirit" of christians misled him?

this is why i dont believe the lie that there are "bad" and "good" muslims. It is a canard that is pushed mostly by muslims who live in the west and are constrained by laws that respect human rights as against the lawless bigotry that exists in muslim nations. For starters it seems to me here that you CONDONED the near killing of a christian here for daring to "preach the gospel". Infact you seem to blame him for walking to his own death. Does that suggest to me that it is OK with you for muslims to kill christians who try to spread the gospel? How demonic.

You can cry all you want about how you have never raised a needle against anyone, but it seems to me that you would have done NOTHING to help this innocent christian man if you had the chance.

LagosShia:

can you imagine if all the threads exposing christianity i have started i preach them in a christian village what could have happened to me?especially if the village have uneducated and unexposed people!!!

Nothing would happen to you hypocrite . . . the funny thing is YOU KNOW IT. No christians, no matter how uneducated would lift a finger to harm you even if you built a mosque right in the village square.

LagosShia:

how can someone that would be talking grammar try to preach to illitrates where they are predominant and expect no reaction?dont you think they would feel being taken advantage of?

Are you serious? So the problem with the preacher was that he spoke a foreign language? so every market trader who speaks igbo in hausa markets is invited into houses to be cut by razors? Are you really trying to be this dishonest?

LagosShia:

i am a Shia Muslim and i still choose the people i talk with about SHIA-ISLAM.you dont just go anywhere and to anyone and start preaching.

But you know that muslims have no such problems going anywhere and putting up their mosque and prayer mats. To insinuate that all religions are somehow guilty of trying to kill those who evangelise from other religions is blatantly false, a red herring and an attempt to justify islam's zeal for bloodletting.

LagosShia:

in fact as for myself,when christians come to preach to me,i welcome them with love and care.i even thank them for coming.at the end they would be the ones begging to leave!!! grin grin grin

Thank God for you. What would you do however, if muslims try to kill a christian in your presence? I just finished watching a boko haram video where a man's head was cut off while reading and praying from the quran . . . i will be lucky if i can get any dinner down after watching that gruesome video. Such a satanic religion.

first,i didnt know you are also the same person with "goggs".i think i was replying to "goggs". wink

obvious you are condoning attacks on Islam and on all muslims.based on your words all muslims are "bad" and "evil".right?so your message is what exactly?

if you know how to read English properly you will never say that i condoned the killing or near killing of a christian.

next,when you see a group of armed-robbers,you pass beside them with a bundle of dollars in transparent bag,and then tell the world that you have the right to freedom of movement.someone knows a group of men are illitrates and backward and very sensitive to religious matters and he went with his holy ghost possession to preach to them.didn't i tell you that even i as a muslim choose those i engage on sunni-shia differences?so was i also condoning the persecution against us shia?that is what you could also have accused me of doing grin grin

christians are good in distorting the words of others.


You can cry all you want about how you have never raised a needle against anyone, but it seems to me that you would have done NOTHING to help this innocent christian man if you had the chance.
i am sure God helps those who help themselves.so please dont falsely accuse me.i could as well be the one to save your life if God wills so.


Nothing would happen to you hypocrite . . . the funny thing is YOU KNOW IT. No christians, no matter how uneducated would lift a finger to harm you even if you built a mosque right in the village square.
i wonder what could happen to me if the likes of "frosbel","Davidylan","goggs","plappville"e.t.c could lay eyes on me  grin grin grin ofcourse that is with the assumption that all those usernames do not belong to "frosbel" alone grin grin grin grin


Are you serious? So the problem with the preacher was that he spoke a foreign language? so every market trader who speaks igbo in hausa markets is invited into houses to be cut by razors? Are you really trying to be this dishonest?
no it is not the preacher's fault.i told you it was the christian "holy spirit" that misled him into danger.

you want to compare a a poor igbo woman trading in a market in the north and a christian with an evil bible going to preach to illitrates who are muslims?that is fire and fuel coming close!!!  grin grin grin

recently in the USA,an atheist student was threatened with death for opposing christian prayer in his school graduation as violation of his constitutional right to freedom of belief.

recently,a mosque was torched in benin.and you think i would not be burnt alive for citing verses in the bible promoting cannibalism for instance?are you kidding?

do you think i as a muslim defending a christian surrounded by an angry mob with illitrate men would be spared if i dare defend the christian? i would mind my business in all seriousness if that would endanger my life.i am no superman.that is to show you the seriousness and risk of the matter.but if i can save his life while posing minimal risk to myself,i will defnitely save a christian whose life is being threatened unjustly by illitreates even though they claim to be muslims.

Dont be stup[i]i[/i]d, illiterate sango worshippers or hindus have never threatened to kill christians for preaching the gospel. Illiterate and backward, naked southern africans have not removed the heads of the christian missionaries who have been living among them for decades.

Please when will you stop with this dishonesty? The problem in that case was NOTHING to do with the backwardness of the hause but the virulent death cult called islam.

At least you do recognise that the bible is a fire that burns and the demonic hordes of islam would literarily kill to put it out or prevent others from reading it.

But Christianity seems to bear the brunt of mockery 24x7 and no one seems to bat an eyelid or even still give a hoot about this trend.

What have Christians done to deserve so much hate

when you realize that each group should be respected for what they are and not disrespected for what they are not,then you troublemakers claiming to be under the remote control of a ghost will never find peace.

fanaticism.i think i use it more than many christians and it has not burnt me.
