What are the top three things that frustrate you more than anything else about born-again Christians?
463436
1. Their holier than thou attitude, as if no one else has a religion already\n\n2. Their happy-clappy singing\n\n3. The fact they wont stop mentioning the fact they are born again.

The answer above mine is a prime example of why people are so ticked off.   \n\n"won't confine my religion (christianity), to the religious section. I will not stop doing what God commanded christians to do."\n\nSo, that means you'll run around every section of Yahoo preaching your religion?  And people wonder why others are angry.  There are many, many sections here where religious posturing has no place.  When you take to preaching to people just becuase, then you're spamming and that's not right.  \n\nPersonally, I wish that some people would stay out of questions that have nothing to do with Christianity.  I don't answer biblical questions with a sermon on my faith and I'd like the same in return.   Unfortunatley, as some have proved, they will continue to spam any and all sections with their religious beliefs because they think they're doing something right.

I am a born again Christian (Methodist).\n\n3 main reasons:\n\n1. It is often brought up in the wrong setting.\n\n2. Asking to understand is fine.  Unfortunately, many Christians use this and other opening lines as a pretense to witness and promote Christianity to strangers (i an certain you have heardd some of these - my favorite is "I am taking a survey."\n\nPersonally, I hate this practice.  I consider it degrading to lower the promotion of Christianity to a cross between a con job, a mailer, and an infomercial.\n\nIn addition, this method is highly ineffective.  Not only is the recipient insulted, it numbs the person to the real message.\n\nIn modern day society, witnessing is best done by example, friendship, and invitation to join you in Church or at a Church gathering.  This is what brought me to Christianity.\n\n3. Inside and outside religion, there is a resentment toward the active participation of religious groups in politics.  Personally, I consider there to be numerous warnings against this in the Bible, including Revelations.  Power corrupts.  All politics is corrupt or becomes corrupt.  The Church needs to be kept separate from this.

I have had a bad relationship with christians\n\nI was born Jewish\n\nOn the first day of school i ever had, a classmate told me i killed god.  I remember crying and running to my mother.  I didnt blame christianity for that though, i though the kid was just mean....\n\nbut when i got older i started seeing christians different.  I saw them as the embodiment of hate.  I mean, the whole basis of their bible is that anyone who isn't christian is a sinner and must be converted.  \n\nThroughout history, Christians have murdered millions in the name of Jesus:\n\n1. The slaughter of those who believed in roman gods when christianity took over rome.\n2. The massacre of jews in the dark ages\n3. The torture of jews in the inquisition\n4.  The brutal murders of jews and muslims in the crusades\n5.  The murder of 6 million jews in the holocaust\n6.  The bombing of abortions clinics.\n7.  the murder of homosexuals\n\nI am now an atheist and am very opposed to christian extremism

This is a perfect example of what I dislike in a certain kind of "Christian."  While they are rarely more intelligent or better educated than average (usually quite the reverse,) they have the audacity to presume that others need their "wisdom."\n\nOrganized religion has caused many wars and a great deal of strife in the world.  It has a negative global impact exceeded only by that of greed and overpopulation.  We non-believers are doing just fine without it, thanks.\n\nBlessed Be, and have a nice day.

I wouldn't banish any of them but I really don't understand the point of:\n\n1. Gallup-style 'What religion are you?' and 'Do you believe in God?' questions.\n2. Why are there still monkeys?\n3. Pascal's Wager questions.\n4. "Why are Christians so persecuted on this site?" (viz. my current question)\n5. People giving OT quotes to intimidate gay people.\n6. People giving Qur'an quotes to intimidate gay people.\n7. "Why do you believe in God?" or "Why don't you believe in God?"\n8. Endless cut-and-paste 'questions' from drdino.com or harunyahya.com to 'explain' creationism when the asker doesn't even understand what he's cut and pasted.\n9. Anything about creationism vs. evolution at all, actually.\n10. All trolling...\n\nBut what would be left if we banished all that? R&S would be a lonely place indeed.

Not necessarily.  I know of some Christians who are persecuted because they are jerks.  Then, when they complain, they use "it's because I'm a Christian" as their defense.

None at all.  Born again is a term that Christians use to show that their life has restarted. Simple as that.

I couldn't agree more.  I'm getting tired of all of the sermons ans scriptures made to look like questions.  It's completely ridiculous.  There are some good Christian people here who don't do those things.  They're usually the first ones to speak up when the bible pushers start too.  These people give the entire faith a bad name.\n\nOh, and don't even get me started on the ones who post scripture and sermons in all caps.  \n\nOne more of my pet peeves, those who answer questions about other religions with "Find Jesus", "I'll pray for you" or "You worship Satan."  Give me a freaking break already!   Do they honestly think they're helping their faith by acting like this?

I hate it. There needs to be a strict separation between church and state. I'm an agnostic and don't feel the need to abide by rules set forth by one group of people telling another group of people how to live their lives.

As a Pagan, it really makes me sad to see my fellow Pagans take history out of context and ignore the parts that make our own predicessors look bad.\n\n#1. Christianity is full of Pagan concepts, much more than Jewish concepts- Virgin birth, child of a God born of a mortal woman, the trinity, all Pagan concepts. Therefore, why we feel the need to throw up an impenetrable wall, I don't friggin know!\n\n#2. Umbanda, Voodoo, and Santeria are three Christian/Pagan blends with HUGE followings that have been around since long before you were born to complain.\n\nI am not going to even address your dubious history except to point out that Pagans also killed Christians, and most of these killings were political in nature, rather than religious. \n\nThank you. Move along.

Wow, so much! It would be a list too long for this post. Where to start. Anger, sex before marriage, getting divorced, cursing God, turning my back on him many years ago, maybe not being the right kind of parent. Im sure is I woke up in hell, I could give plenty of reasons I deserve to be there.\n\nThank God for his love and mercy, I wont have to. Whew.
