Answer 2

I think most are just rejecting the teachings of the church.

Answer 3

Most people don't "reject" Christ.

My life isn't all about s*x, money and drugs, and I'm not miserable.  

Answer 4

All the apostles, including Paul, met violent deaths.  Believers in the early church were persecuted and martyred.  Today, many Christians are being persecuted and even murdered because of their faith.  Where ever did you get the idea that becoming a Christian means the end of human misery?

Some people grow up and give up fairy worship. Why can't you?

Answer 7

In order to grow wiser you must understand the world.

Answer 8

The bible tells us many times this would happen, so it was expected. I think people reject Christ because they don't like the idea of not being in control. Before I was saved, I thought I knew better. It was selfishness mostly. I wanted to do things that Jesus didn't want me to do. It wasn't until I knew Him that I realized I am happier doing things His way. I think a lot of people simply don't understand that they will truly be happier if they give their lives to Jesus.  

Answer 9

I live a happy, respectful, deity-free life.

Not to mention, several Christians I know are terribly depressed and some of the most rude people I've ever met.

Don't generalize, eh?

Answer 10

I would like to know why many Christians feel it necessary to condone and condemn those of us who do not believe the same as they do as "sinners" and think that we need to be "saved"?  I live a clean life with a loving family, we do not have s*x with everyone we meet, do not feel that money is all that important (I'd like to know how you pay your bills and buy your groceries without it), and we do not use illegal drugs.

Christian?  No thanks.

Answer 11

I reject Christ. I havent had s*x, there is nothing wrong with having money, wealth is the key to a happy and prosperous life. If Mother Teresa didn't have incredible wealth, how could she have helped so many people? And finally, you dont need to believe in Christ to reject drugs. You dont need Christ full stop to be happy, and to do incredible things for yourself. You have a body, a mind, everything you need to be happy and prosperous. Stop hoping for a magical fictional character to save you and go do it yourself.

Answer 12

Jesus is a myth. Myths don't really get rejected so much as seen for what they are - fiction.

Answer 13

I lived that life once.It wasnt any different for me then,then it is now.I gave it up because I got tired of having my prayers left unanswered,and having more questions then answers about everything.I enjoy myself alot more now.Im not scared of being judged by some invisible being,I just live.I suspect alot of people feel the same way.Im not miserable now,I was then.

Answer 14

Many,many reasons not to believe there is (or was) a Christ (Christs)!

Answer 15

Fantastic rant. Next time maybe do NOT make yourself look like an idiot on a forum.

Answer 16

People aren't rejecting Christ, they are rejecting the people who go around demanding money and obedience in his name.  When Christians start practicing what they preach maybe people will start taking them seriously.  You might start with "Judge not lest ye be judged" and "remove the beam from your own eye, then you may remove the mote from your brothers."

Answer 17

You are assuming that because I reject Christ that I live my life only to do distructive things and that I am miserable.

I'll have you know that I work a regular job like everyone else, I only have s*x with my partner and I've never done drugs once in my entire life.  Also, I feel blessed and happy.

What do I need Jesus to do for me?  If your life was f*cked up and he fixed it for you, good for you!  I'm happy for you, but PLEASE stop assuming that everyone else that doesn't believe in him is living this terrible and sad life.  I've heard it enough and it's getting really old!

Answer 18

My darling i don't reject things that don't exist, otherwise i would be admitted to an insane asylum

that's like saying I HATE YOU BUGS BUNNY I HATE YOU I REJECT YOU

i'm not rejecting this fictional character so much as i am just being ...sane and rational

Answer 19

My life is not about s*x, money or drugs.  Three things I wish I had more of!!  All Jesus did for me was give me Arthritis in my knee, making it impossible for me to get on knees to thank him for his kind blessing.  

Answer 20

Do you think religion has exclusive rights to morals?  You are prime example of being indoctrinated with religious mind control techniqes from an early age. You should seek some help for your affliction.

Answer 21

I never rejected Christ because I never believed in him. s*x, money, and drugs are not what I live by. I am not miserable.

Answer 22

not everyone believes in your christ

i believe in a higher power

but christians have such a knack for distorting the bible and making it say only what they want to say

it turns people off

maybe if there wasn't such hypocrisy in your religion more people would tend to gavitate towards it

as it stands now the wrong people are preaching the word and they are preaching it WRONG

Answer 23

Excuse me? I reject your superstitions and I live a very happy life. Try learning the lessons he tried to teach instead of the superstitions that were built up around him and you too may find inner peace.

Answer 24

I can only answer for myself, not others.

why are people rejecting Christ?

Because I don't believe in Astrology.

My life is not about s*x, money, and drugs.  

Not that it's any of your business, but I have had s*x 3 times this year.  Does that sound like my life is about s*x?  

As for money, we all need it to survive.  Don't pretend like a huge portion of your life isn't spent acquiring money.  Only frumpy housewives of comfortably wealthy men and children don't have to think about money.  Which one are you?

As for drugs, I haven't used them since the early 90's.  Not part of my life.

So, your theory is false from beginning to end.

How could you be so wrong and believe so completely that you are right?  

Or is/was your life about s*x, money, and drugs...  and you assume everybody is like you?

My life is very good.  I haven't been miserable since before I rejected Christ.  Thank you for caring.

Answer 25

Critical thinking, and reason.

Answer 26

Why do people keep rejecting science and technology and living the life of brainwashing, deception, and lies?  Why don't they just give their life to reason and logic so they can stop lying to themselves and see what science, technology, and modern medicine can really do for them?

Answer 27

We love darkness...

John 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
