Wacky Wednesday--Christianity Is Bad For The World

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~It’s a source of oppression of other religious viewpoints
~It’s too sexually restrictive.
~The historical treatment of Jews has been terrible.
~It’s been very harmful to women.
~Christians are indifferent to the suffering of animals
~Christians have been responsible for tremendous environmental destruction.
~Ever hear of Manifest Destiny?
~It’s followers are hypocrites
~Christians are too authoritarian.
~No one can actually live up to its moral tenets, so everyone feels miserable about themselves for their failures.
~Christians are always trying to impose their morality on everyone else.
~The whole idea of forgiving evil is impractical and only encourages bad people to do more of their harms.
~Who held slaves in the Old South? Hint: it wasn’t Buddhists or atheists.
