Why Do People Reject Christ?

I didn't say you do. I said you invited other Christians to do so. And don't pretend you're unaware of that phenomenon ... you've been here five years.

I have never done that...why would I when it is something I don't believe is true?
 
The problem is not hating Jesus, but hating his Father. People think they are supposed to read the Bible from front to back, so the first things they learn are how angry the Creator got by kicking Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, putting Sodom on fire, the Great Flood destroying all kinds of living things, the ten plagues of Egypt, and Commandments they choose not to like (such as"You shall not commit adultery). They also learn God sends everybody who does not love Him at the time of death to hell. So they refuse to believe God is love and decide not to worship Him before reading the first thing about Jesus being God in human form, sent down from heaven to do the most loving act of all and defeat the second death.

You can always put ME on Iggy. I'll consider it a badge of honor if you do.

The moment I see one of those holy fingers pop up my mind closes tighter than a bank safe.

Can speak only for myself: It just never rang true to me. The concept of a "god" that "always was" and decided to create everything one day. To me that's just silly, my mind won't accept that.

Who told you God created everything in one day? That is not Biblical.

If there was no infinite, supernatural God, how could anything exist? We all know it is scientifically impossible to create something out of nothing, so if there is no God, there can't be anything else.

Why do you reject Odin? Hope you don't live near the ocean....

Odin would absolutely destroy @Daisy’s God. I wish she would consider upgrading to a real religion, particularly one with great cinematic universe potential. But, some people drink Coors because it’s all they know. Even the crappy religions have their faithful.

Reject Christ? Could you be a bit more specific?

Reject him... as the messiah and as a god? I'll go with that.

For maybe most people on the planet, he is just the wrong god. Or is not he son of god, or the messiah. A fake god. A false prophet, even. Because Jesus has stiffer competition, where these people were born. Same reason Jesus beat out the competition for you, ultimately.

That's the full, correct answer to your question, by any measure that can be taken.

I reject him because of the hair.

Seriously, dude, get a haircut.

It's a different finger that's pointing at the moon. It wants you to look at the moon, not the finger.

You didn't see any Buddhists in my little photo strip for a reason ;)
Also, Buddhists have Annie. :LOL:

In addition to the majority of the planet that simply rejects Jesus's magical god status because they favor the competition, in that regard...

A lot of people simply don't buy into any mythology at all. To them, "Rejecting Christ" requires no more time and effort and carries no more weight than does rejecting flying unicorns, or leprechauns, or Icarus.
 
Because Christianity, like many other religions, is a mix of good ideas, bad ideas, and parochial stuff that doesn't translate well to the modern era.

I have no problem with people who want to be Christian if it makes them happy and they think it helps them live a better life. But as for me, it's not obvious that Christianity is superior to other belief systems, so I don't see any reason to shackle myself to it.

But now it will just grow back, because he is a zombie. Right? Or is that just vampires?

This is a great question.

Hey @Daisy, in your mythology does Jesus need to get regular haircuts, or is he more of the zombie-style resurrected?
