Hated religions
I had an interesting debate in my catholic religion class yesterday and wondered what y'all think. Which do you think is the most hated religion. I mean the one that the most people feel the most intense venom for. My teacher said the Jews, because of the holocaust and previous attempts to wipe them out. I'm not so sure, what do you think?

I would have to say the Jews as well. The Jews were oppressed throughout history more than any other religion I can think of.

Were the Jews hated for their religion or for other reasons? They were good businessmen. During the holocaust skin and hair color were a big factor.The root of hate is fear. I think I would ask, which religion are we most fearful of? I would hope that most of us are realizing that Islam isn't the problem. The problem is some of the adherents.

The Jews are actually fulfiling prophecy right now in their role as social underdogs. It will be like this until they are once again offered the Gospel by the Lord.
Most people miss the forest for the trees when it comes to religion, that's nothing new. Islam is not a violent religion, but neither is a spoon. Both can be lethal in the wrong hands.

What Christian Denomination in America, follows it's leader, and loves his Islamic & Jewish neighbor as himself?
When and where Christianity is hated. Why? Is it because they are obedient to God/Savior/Ghost? Do they obey anything?

Dan, LOL....I liked your analogy regarding Islam and the spoon and agree with you. I would like to add, however, that the same can be said for any religion, including Christianity and its denominations. The danger, I believe, is when individuals with deep personal religious convictions blur the lines between their Faith and actual known facts and develop an 'us vs. them' mentality which can lead to complete intolerance for others with less conviction or differing beliefs.
