Would you be offended by this?!


Question: Would you be offended by this!?
We had a Communion service at school today!. I'm not Christian though, I'm Hindu!.!.!.but I had to go anyway!. So I went!.!.!.

But, there was this hymn which they sang which had in the lyrics: "They will know we are Christians by our love, by our love, yes they'll know we are Christians by our love!."

I interpret this as meaning that people of all other faiths don't have love, so when "they" see a person who has this love, then they will know he/she is Christian!. But if "they" don't see this love, then "they" will know he/she is not Christian!.

So basically, they are telling me that I don't have love for others in my religion, which is not at all correct!. I am quite offended by this, as is my close friend (who is Jewish)!.

If you are not Christian, would you be offended by this!?
If you are Christian, would you be offended by this were you not Christian!?

My intention is not to offend anyone, just asking!.
Thanks in advance for your answers!. :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

i would be offended and am offended when ppl say that only they will go to heaven cuz of their religion and no other religion's ppl will!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think you should get your head out of yourbutt and get the chip off of your shoulder!. I am only "offended" by thin-skinned whiny people who get "offended" by someone elses worshipping practices!. I couldn't care less if you want to have a Puja shrine in your school locker!. I also doubt seriously that you were required to attend a religious ceremony!. I'm sure if you had asked to be excluded that someone would have let you have that option!. Leave the Christians alone and if you are "offended" just ignore them!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Maybe you should switch schools if you are offended by their practices!. I don't think you have any right to complain about what a christian school does!. No one is forcing you to go there!. There are public schools where there is no religion of any kind practiced!. Maybe you should talk to your parents about transferring you!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I dont think that I would interpret it the way you did, I am not that smart:] I think that if I were as smart as you and I thought about the lyrics and what they could mean then yes I would be very upset and you have every right to be!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

There are a lot of songs and hymns out there that support certain religions!. I'm going to say no!.

It's not like the hymn went like this:
"We are the best religion and those who aren't Christian will burn with Satan!.!.!."

If it was like that, then I would be offended!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't think they are telling you that you don't have love for others, just that they do and that they are Christian!. I would not be offended by this at all!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I see your point by being offended its not right how some religions make you feel that way and try not to let it bother you to much because you know what you feel and nobody can tell you any different!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

i would be very offended!. that's why it's illegal to do that in a public school, i'm not christian and no one's pushing their faith on me =[Www@Enter-QA@Com

no the song is basicaly saying that thye will know we are christians by our love towards god, but yea basically your god doesnt exist in the christian religion!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, I don't think I would be offended - all religions are offshoots of Christianity, so theyre saying that all people are known by their love!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I assume you are going to a private Christian school so you are going to have to expect some of this!.

I do not think the song is meant to be offensive, but just to highlight that Chrisitans who really adhere to what Jesus taught show love to people, however that is not too many, overall!.

Most fundamentalist Christians are intolerant and hateful to anyone who does not subscribe to 'their' convoluted brand of the faith!.

Again, I do not think the song is intended to offend, but from your faith perspective and your friends as well, I can see how it could do that!.

If this is a public school they are seriously breaking the law, but if it is a private Christian school, it is just something you are going to have to expect and put up with it!.
