Why do christian preachers scream so much.? they all sound like raving lunatics?

The question practically answers itself.\n\nBut as others have pointed out, only some do, so only some are lunatics.

What makes a person fanatical is insecurity. They are scared to death because deep down they know their religion makes as much sense as worshipping monkey turds. So do they gather their courage and proclaim the preacher wears no clothes? No, they scream louder to drown out the doubts and recruit others to reinforce the decision they've made. \n\nIt's funny the pain some people will go through to avoid discomfort.

Mav needs to first take speech lessons.  Maybe they feel the have to live up to being a good Christian and boasting about their good deeds makes them feel better.  They are insecure.

I agree that Christians do get a bad rap when individuals who call themselves Christians behave in extreme ways.\n\nHaving said that, I would defend the rights of anyone who may wish to tell me that I am going to hell (at least they care enough about me and my soul to tell me what they think -- and this can provide the opportunity for me to ask them why they come to this conclusion -- and may be I can learn from them).\n\nMy Background: I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. For a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

It's because religious fanatics are trying to brainwash us. They are single-minded,  believing that they will "save" us if they push their beliefs onto us.  It is their mission to witness to us.  I grew up in a Baptist church, so, am very familiar with beliefs and ways.  Freaky!\n\nAlso,  there are many people such as myself,  who are so irritated with the Bible thumpers,  that we present off-the-wall religious questions to push their buttons.  It's amusing!

Linda, Sweetie, one of the very FIRST things you need to learn as a Christian in Yahoo, is patience. You're gonna run into alot of these abusive comments, some people think they are being witty.  If they manage to get a rise out of you, they think they have somehow "proved" some sort of point.  I think they figure that Christians aren't supposed to get angry, or have hurt feelings, and when we react to such vicious comments, they can congratulate themselves that they have provoked us, and therefore, our God must not be real.\nWhen you really stop and think about it, they need our love and our pity much more than we need their approval.  Pray for them, but, don't let them push your buttons.\nGod bless you.

My preacher farted really loud during his sermon, there was a huge roar of laughter from everyone in the congregation and his face turned BRIGHT RED, hilarious! just priceless!

I reckon that it's only the people you KNOW are christian that are like this. The LOUD christians who shout about their faith like it's some sort of medal to be proud of.\n\nThe quiet, humble Christians (and I'm now using the capital "C") have a personal relationship with God and don't need to shout out about it. They do exist, and you probably meet them every day, you just don't recognise them as Christian. But you might know them by their actions, rather than their words.

I'll settle for anyone who is genuine and real up in the pulpit and isn't like these professionals who always preach the wrong sermon. There they are talking on some topic while the church is burning down. The sermon should be, "Fire, fire everybody out," if you understand this metaphor. Instead they argue doctrine or joke or repeat sermon number 105. A woman with some sense just might be a welcome change. She just might tell the congregation that the church has lost its saltiness. My, wouldn't that be a revelation!

yah....It pisses me off because alot of "christistians" are full of sh*t. They talk about god and preach this and that, then they live and act the complete opposite. It makes it feel like any kind of christianity is really bull sh*t, like everything else in this world. Maybe it is.

As long as that your listening to has the witness of a christian, im ok with it. I dont agree with Metal, Acid Rock, that screaming into the microphone, blowing speakers and eardrums kinda music. If you cant understant the words at all, then waht is the difference in it and, say Ozzy Osborne? I want to be able to hear the difference. So CCM.... Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman Kepp going  guys.... You Metal Singers... a little less screaming please :)

Ok, that is creepy.  I mean, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the question.  For those of you having a hard time understanding why some of us are so fed up with the bible bashing types of Christians, this is a prime example.  For those Christians who answer questions in an honest, productive manner, I'm sorry that these people get lumped in with you.  This is a level of zealotry which scares me to no end.   And before our usual band of zealots jumps on that statement.  No, I'm not scared because I fear "the truth" or because I'm afriad you're right.  I'm scared because the mentally unsound are cutting it pretty close and I wonder what they're going to do next.\n\nTo answer your original question, give me a pint of Guiness, please!  Actually, I don't drink much, but I think I'll one when I get home.

Yes, that rev 6 1 gives the rest of us a bad n ame, doesn't he?\n\nI don't know why some ministers are so hateful and mean. Look at me.I'm kind-hearted,slow to offend, and full of Christian charity.\n\nThese nutcase revs get my dander up.\n\nWell, I guess I'm the second person to agree.I agree with Mickey that personal pastor right here sounds narrow-minded and ridiculous in his answer, snippity as well.\nPersonal Pastor is full of mean spirited pompousity.

I'm not tired of them  I think that things get way to depressing and serious around here.  The Christians are always all HELLFIRE, SIN, PAIN, DEATH, CRUCIFIXTION, TRIAL, END OF DAYS, JUDGEMENT, SINNER, and blah blah blah.  I swear, their religion is designed to be a fun sucker.  I don't understand the appeal.\n\nYou bring just spot of sunshine and levity around here.  Don't stop.

Well actually quite a few of us Christians don't like televangelists. We're well aware that a lot are greedy and are basically stealing from their followers. Many of them preach VERY false dangerous doctrines though once in a blue moon a decent preacher gets on TV, but sadly without all the flash and glitter, they dont last long :(

well, thumping Bibles just ain't having the effects it used to have ... at least not in more educated countries.  in 3rd world countries where folks are lucky to find food let alone be able to read Bible thumping still works well enough, especially if a bowl of mush is offered along with the sermon. \n\none can often detect the frustration in some Bible thumpers.  oh how they must long for the good old days when all ya needed  was a Bible and a big mouth to have authority, all ya needed to do was to point at someone and cry "heathen" and that person would be ostracized from polite society.  nowadays heathens are proudly heathen and witches have a government recognized tax exempt religion.  oh how that must rankle those folks for whom preaching the Bible is their only source of self respect and power pretense.

Televangelists are great fun. Turn the sound off and its better than cartoons!
