Why are NON-church folk so Mean and Careless?

What gives you the right to make such a broad generalization of people that don't go to church?  I think maybe you should brush up on what your religion tells you about judging people, before you ask questions like this.

The question has indeed been deleted, but I think I know where you're going with this.  Just because someone is a christian, does NOT make them a good person.  Unfortunately, my experience with christians has been mostly negative.  I've found them to be judgemental and overly righteous of others' behavior, while not faulting their own.  \n\n(Again, I'm not saying all christians are like this...just the majority of the ones I've personally met)

When you are kind and good to people, love your parents ( even though you occasionally tick them off... but you don't purposely hate them do you?) and you are caring to people who need your help... you are already praying and worshipping a wordless prayer.. you live a life of prayer.\n\nThen how is that UN-Christian? Christ did all of the above..although I am not sure about him ticking off God, Mary or Joseph.\n\nIf you pray EVERYDAY and attend Church EVERY DAY religiously, but is a hateful, nasty and violent person, then I think there is no christianity there.\n\nBetter a Good Hearted Luke-warm Christian who lives their life as a prayer to Christ than one who prays in public but lives as a bane to humanity

I agree with the Bad Liberal, my Christian friends (most of them) are much better behaved, and so are my atheist friends, far better behaved.  But that is the internet for you.  Think about this, when you are talking to someone face to face, you have no safety, when you are talking on the phone, you are a little braver, get on the internet and you are ten feet tall and bulletproof.  Some people are just ignorant and rude....God forgive me...screw them if they are not nice.

i agree. I ask christians questions and they give me hateful remarks. Its as though they have no incentive to be nice because Jesus saved them from being respectful to other people.  and what about turn the other cheeck? when i was a christian i thought they were held to higher standards, i was dead wrong. I left because of the hypocracy and ignorance.

I've asked myself that same question for the last fifty years and I have concluded that it is because we are taught this all of our lives. For example, " nice guys finish last", "the good die young", and " only the strong survive". But, we are also taught that blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth, and blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God!!\nI'm not a preacher, just a " nice guy" who has lived a long time in a mean cruel world.\nHang in there girl and remember that the mean, cruel aggressive people may get to the top faster...but they always fall harder!!

because they can't spell...\n\nI am very sorry that was mean...people have a tendency to believe what they hear from a source that should be reliable(their preacher/priest) but many of these people do little actual research for themselves...for instance, the Bible was written in a context for a certain social climate, if you truly want to understand the meaning you have to understand the culture to which the words were addressing.

Because they are mindless drones.  My roomate always talks about how he was raised in a "Good Christian Family", yet he can't even brush his teeth, shower or clean up after himself.  Most of them  just regurgitate was has been beaten into thier heads since childhood.  They don't even know anything about spirituality or faith.  Most very religious people I know are incredibly closed-minded.  I know one Christian who believes that dinosaur bones are fake, and that they were planted.  I'll never involve myself with any organized religion.  It's all the same crap anyway, and they wage war over it.  Also, most religions are hateful towards women.

I am a christian and I do know that Im a pretty messed up person.  I can be selfish, shallow, I lie at times and dont even notice it.  Im not going to call my self a worm or dirt.  But I'm not afraid to just be humble and accept that I can be a screwup.  At times I feel so bad about the way I've acted that yeah...  I know that Im white trash.  Or at least I realize that I probably look like trash to people who dont know me.  I think the people who call themselves these things are really just trying to be humble... they just may be doing it the wrong way.

I think you're right about religious people.\nThey are soooo codependent.  (ick)

People in our society tend to scoff at people that are different from them and scoff at things that they feel are inferior to there issues. Also those people don't have compassion enough to deal with those issues so therefore they find them stupid.

You hit the nail on the head,other countries always claim that we are arrogant and we are too religious or not religious enough,we are too strict or not strict enough.They way I look at it..,dont worry about my backyard until you clean your own.

Mainly because people are looking for a way to not be responsible for their own actions.  They don't want to ponder if it is okay to steal to feed your family, they want a higher power to tell them.\nI'm more concerned why people think others have no morals because they DON'T belong to a religious group.

Usually people like the ones in question are of a slightly low IQ but have enough back ground to be insulting. They have a slight grasp of The Bible but are not wise enough to get its messages. Often they are people who hurt becasue they thought GOD was Santa and didnt get their way! PRAY FOR THEM-- dont get upset!

Don't look at it like that...there are mean people in and out the church.  You just strive to be the best person you need to be.  Don't let ANYONE keep you from your blessings.

"Just remember that if compassion, love, and unity is not in your belief, than you are a bad person no matter what your belief is." <=== That right there says it all. Christians have lost touch with that because they are so wrapped up in their image...so anything out of place to them is automactically fought against and you can't be like that--rude, uncompassionate, and un-loving. God wouldn't want that so why should you treat others indifferently because of what they believe or what they want to try. \n\nI love you for bringing that up. I'm a christian and I'm not like that at all. So it gets annoying when others are.
