Is the YMCA Christian?

[Sammy]

I was going to get a job there but I'm Jewish and someone is telling me that the YMCA is actually a Christian organization?

 

[Cheese]

Yes, but they do not discriminate.


Young Men's Christian Association


work/volunteer there.

 

[mehe]

wow, thats pathetic, you believe in the same god and have the same holy book but the jews are right.... ok... i guess they are both wrong then right?

 

[I'MONADIETisback]

made by Christian people but not a Christian organization. just a community center

 

[MuthuS2]

Yes, Young Man's Christian Association and so is YWCA
But they accomodate all religious people and no partiality is shown
You can wholeheartedly join

Are you kidding me? YMCA is not a word, those four letters stand for four different words. Do you know what they are?

 

[Jeff]

Yes it is, but it's mostly secular now.

It's REALLY annoying seeing all these immature anti-Christian bastards posting random shit to insult Christianity.

 

[nOwEcAnt]

It probably was when it was founded. People tend to throw that word around alot nowadays.

 

[zinger]

it's full of douchebag hypocritical Christians. they preach love they neighbor and bash anyone that doen't believe in their crappy Christian beliefs. What hypocrites.

Buddhist

 

[PragueGuy]

Well, you do hear lots of "Oh, God" proclamations coming out of the men's shower area, so perhaps it is.

I don't think so. It was founded for the homeless and poor. Clearly it's evolved since then, but...
