Dirty oil can hurt a car's engine. 4. to affect adversely; harm: to hurt one's reputation; It wouldn't hurt the lawn if you watered it more often. 5. to cause mental pain to; offend or grieve: She hurt his feelings by not asking him to the party. --- All Christians accept truths without proof (such as the creation of the universe, which is not provable). Many also plead others to accept these truths. I am unsure as to whether this is a majority of Christians, but their teachings do state that they should spread "the word of God." Spreading this "word" causes others to be delusional. If you believe this affects a person adversely (fourth definition), then many Christians are hurting others. If you believe that accepting facts without evidence is not an adverse effect of this, then their beliefs are not inherently hurtful in this sense. Their teachings are predisposed, however, towards causing violent and intolerant action. For instance, their God has stated in his holy book that he is a "jealous God" and does not accept those that hate him. Therefore, a Christian might be led to believe that Pastafarians are an enemy of his/her God and should be harmed. There are also numerous examples of violence brought on by Christian beliefs dating back hundreds of years (from the Crusades to Pastor Fred Phelps). If you believe that causing violent and/or intolerant tendencies in another is harmful, then Christian teachings are inherently harmful. If you believe that causing violent and/or intolerant tendencies is not harmful, then Christian teachings are not harmful.

I have many Christian friends and they're amazing, but others are constantly shoving their beliefs in my face, telling me I'm stupid or I'll burn in hell. And that's really terrible.

First, you should know that I didn't read all of your responses, although I am planning to. It's past midnight now, and I have to get up at six, so I don't really have the time at the moment. Second, I didn't mean to imply that no one would care what I think, woe-unto-me, by saying no one would read it. I just figured something as popular as this site seems to be would get a lot of mail, and not all of it would be read by the site owner, let alone posted. Third, I thank all the helpful people who pointed out to me that mocking religion really isn't what this site is about. However, I still maintain that the language in some places seems condescending. Fourth, I don't tell my friends that they are being illogical because not all of them value logic. I realize that seems silly, but it is another of their personal beliefs that I respect. Finally, I did ask that this not be posted, but as it seems to have sparked an intelligent discussion, I don't mind so much. Oh, and thanks to all of you who made the Diet Coke jokes. I do realize it's an odd analogy. Thank you all for your comments. I would like to clear up a few points. First, you should know that I didn’t read all of your responses, although I am planning to.

I get the impression that the majority of the theists in the world are decent people with whom I don’t have a problem being friends or neighbors. Unfortunately, the vocal minority of those theists support, propose, and enact ridiculous policies with have a devastating impact on our planet, country, and future. If the semi-sane majority of those theists would take a stand and stop enabling the fundamentalist theists by passively standing by, voting along theological lines, and financially supporting those evangelists, I’d feel a hell of a lot less inclined to be hostile to the theists.
