Why are some Christians bigoted if?

The same reason that people of ANY group are bigoted: ignorance.

That depends on what you mean but bigoted.

Love, which is the act of wishing the good for another, can at times involving being critical of behavior. When such criticism is done in order that the person may grow in holiness and not out of one's own pride.

With that said, all men sin. Any specific incident may be the result of that Christian's sin.

The Pew Forum on Religious Religion and Public Life released a survey on religious knowledge today. Atheists and Agnostics scored higher on it than anyone else, closely followed by Jews and Mormons, all Christians, Protestants and Catholics, were far behind.

That's overall, but when you get into specific religions it does show a startling lack of basic knowledge by practitioners. From the report:

More than four-in-ten Catholics in the United States (45%) do not know that their church teaches that the bread and wine used in Communion do not merely symbolize but actually become the body and blood of Christ. About half of Protestants (53%) cannot correctly identify Martin Luther as the person whose writings and actions inspired the Protestant Reformation, which made their religion a separate branch of Christianity. Roughly four-in-ten Jews (43%) do not recognize that Maimonides, one of the most venerated rabbis in history, was Jewish.

They are trying to protect their Christian Morals,Ethics and Values which is under assault more now than ever before by Satans forces,Bigotry no,Self preservation yes.-Jesus Christ

Maybe they read Lev. 24:16

And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

this is just one example. Many more where "God" condones killing

You are certainly correct that they shouldn't be. Christians should listen to the book they claim to follow.

However, being a Christian is not defined by living a moral life or doing good works (contrary to popular belief). It is merely by recognizing that one has issues and needs to be forgiven, then asking Christ to forgive you.

Yeah, but there are several other contradicting verses that tell them to stone to death non Christians. There are several verses that teach Christians that non-believers are "filthy, corrupt, despicable, abominable,wicked, evil, deserving of eternal torture, fools.... The Bible may have some nice verses, but it has more bigoted, intolerant, divisive and hateful verses.

I think if Christians would just quit church, they would also lose a lot of hate toward each other and be more loving. Cause I remember going to church was a big burden to me. Like a slavery, like communism where you have no free will, no opinion, constant fear, everyone who wasn't Christians, I viewed them like "lower level."

The bible says a lot of things, you believe what you feel is wright not what a book tells you

There is bigotry in each notion approach. Perhaps no longer so in Buddhism, however such a lot certainly it's determined really on the whole within the three Abrahamic religions. Christians are the bulk right here within the States, with a whopping ~seventy five% of the populace defining themselves with a few kind of Christianity. Whilst no longer all of those believers are bigoted, I'm afraid to mention the immense majority are come what may or an additional. And it isn't simply closer to Satanism. While Satanism is considered because the transparent reverse of Christianity due in general to it is namesake, Satanism is an excessively small minority, even in comparison to the small, however developing, populace of Atheists. Along with Satanism, Atheism, and ordinarily some other notion that contradicts Christianity, LGBT and their supporters in conjunction with professional-option supporters are on the whole sufferers of Christian bigotry. Unfortunately, bigotry, as out of date and abhorrent as it's, may not look to be long gone any time quickly. Until we ALL be trained to be given and realize that the First Amendment approach no longer handiest Freedom OF Religion as good as Freedom FROM faith, no one can be loose from the go-hairs of bigoted phrases and behaviors. Also...... I've spotted that you simply did not differentiate what kind of Satanism you are regarding. I additionally spotted that individuals who have responded earlier than me haven't any obvious notion what Satanism is. There are 2 fundamental types of Satanism. Note, I used the phrase 'fundamental' as there are tons of distinctive "denominations" so that you could say identical to Christianity. But lamentably- there may be Theistic Satanism, which means that they've a notion in a few supernatural being or deity. Sometimes it is "Lucifer" and a few prefer another legendary being or creature. The factor is, Theistic Satanists worship a few kind of deity. Now, Atheistic Satanism is accurately because it sounds. Atheism is the non-notion in supernatural beings or deities. So, Atheistic Satanism is a realistic notion approach that is predicated in general at the worship of oneself. Both types of Satanism many times comply with the "Satanic Bible." In reality, Satanism even has it is possess kind of commandments referred to as "The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth," which can be as follows: one million. Do no longer supply reviews or recommendation until you're requested. two. Do no longer inform your issues to others until you're certain they wish to listen to them. three. When in an additional’s lair, exhibit him recognize otherwise don't move there. four. If a visitor on your lair annoys you, deal with him cruelly and with out mercy. five. Do no longer make sexual advances until you're given the mating sign. 6. Do no longer take that which doesn't belong to you until this is a burden to the opposite man or woman and he cries out to be relieved. 7. Acknowledge the vigor of magic in case you have hired it efficiently to acquire your needs. If you deny the vigor of magic after having referred to as upon it with luck, you're going to lose all you have got bought. eight. Do no longer ***** approximately some thing to which you wish to have no longer area your self. nine. Do no longer damage little kids. 10. Do no longer kill non-human animals until you're attacked or to your meals. eleven. When going for walks in open territory, trouble nobody. If anyone bothers you, ask him to give up. If he does no longer give up, damage him.

Christians are people. That means they are imperfect like all people.

Some are less perfect than others.

Many Christians are very good at loving their fellow men. Some are not. So what?
