Christianity (from the Ancient Greek: Χριστιανός Christianos and the Latin suffix -itas) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in canonical gospels and other New Testament writings as well as the Old Testament. Most adherents of the Christian faith, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human and the savior of humanity prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequentially, Christians commonly refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah.

Why do christians blame others for the problems in their own religion?

I have asked christians in the past this and they either ignore the question or they tell me I am one of the "outside influences" they were talking about. Why would just asking a question cause problems for them?

A. Those that do this just look at the world with blinders on. They take their pastor's and parents' point of view because they don't want to believe that the problems could be one of their own. We are HUMAN as is WE are NOT perfect. Those who place the blame on others don't want to admit that they are not perfect. Originally the church (When it first started out) needed a reason to bring in people and get their money to grow, so one of the things they did was make a scapegoat to bring people to the church...
