Why are so many Christians ignorant of their own faith?

Why do people always assume that athiests are nonbelievers out of ignorance? A lot of us are learned enough about various religions to have the capacity to question the beliefs man has created for himself.

Because the human mind cannot comprehend God.\n\nBecause one needs faith in order to be able to really learn from the Bible.\n\nBecause many people are deceived and fall for the alternatives of easy, cheap Grace.

Religion and opinion are things Christians do not get.

Because Christians are gullible and simple-minded. They have grown up being told that theirs is the "one true god", and that other religions are superstitions or products of the devil. Don't expect to get any intelligent answers from Christians; they are impervious to logic, reason and critical thinking.

I agree. Many times on this site, I'll see a good question, and then some well intentioned Christian say, "you just have to have faith," or "faith isn't about logic."  It's quite irritating.  I know I have so much to learn and am ignorant myself, but it seems like some people check their brains at the door when it comes to faith. God wants us to love him with all our minds as well.  \n\nRejecting worldy wisdom doesn't mean we're supposed to be ignorant.

Because to some christians, they are afraid if they look into other ideas that they might discover that they are wrong or need to change.  It is far easier to for some to just follow the cultural norm, follow what everybody else is doing instead of discovering real truth on their own.  There is a difference between feeling something is true and knowing 100% without a shadow of a doubt it is true.  by following christianity blindly without investigating they don't have to deal with family members or friends being upset or stirred up.  People are afraid of what they do not understand, like how many christians say pagans worship satan, when in fact they do not.   I have known christians who won't even remotely associate with "non-believers" when in their scriptures it says for them to make disciples and tell everyone about Jesus; but conversation goes both ways; so heaven forbid for a "non-believer" to question or say something back-that is where in some instances the hate and narrow-mindededness comes in.

Because they are ignorant of the facts of their own religion.

Because the bible was written by so many man and there are so many versions of the bible they are afraid that if some one find something wrong about the bible and it can be proven, the christian faith will be thought of as a fake. Think of it there are the King James Version, the Mormon, the Catholics, the Protestant,  the Lutheran, the Anglican Church version in England, and many more. I'm not ousting Christian, I myself is Catholic, but I prefer to be opened about what I believe and not be so offensive about some one else conviction. As a Christian you're supposed to love others and not hate other, the bible teaches you to love not to hate, but there are Christians out there that thinks if you don't believe in Christianity than you will go to hell.\nJust remember, Jesus was Jewish, he is not Christian. The Christians was a follower of Jesus not a religion until emperor Constantine adapted the believe of one God in the Roman Empire.\n\nIn that tone also, I would have to say look at the priest that serve the sermon, if he insert his own convictions than he is not a good priest. \n\nOther religions also like that, like the muslims or jews for example, if they have their priest  or rabi telling them lies, what would the congregation believe in? So, for those who hates muslims, or jews or any other religions you should look at your priest and try to understands what he is trying to convey to you. And make your own decision, not what the priest's believes.

The vast majority of Christians are completely unaware of who actually invented what we now call Christianity, so how could they have an opinion?

Knowledge of other faiths, thier traditions etc  helps us better understand each other. Those who refuse to lern such are very narrow minded. Not knowing and understanding can lead to problems that lead to incidents like war...\n\nBlessings...+David

A lot of Christians believe that you HAVE to believe in the bible, or not believe at all.  Some Christians also feel that if you're seeking alternative answers, you're claiming that the bible isn't good enough.  Looking for rational answers instead of swallowing what you're told doesn't mean you can't believe in God.  Believing the first thing you're told and refusing to question isn't faith, its ignorance.

There are two reasons people defend their beliefs so strongly.  \n\n1) Fear of being wrong, and doubt in their own hearts.  Faith in God is truly that.... Faith.  If you are unsure about your own Faith, because we can not see him we have to believe that he exists.  A strong argument makes them feel more steadfast and sure about what is in there own hearts.\n\n2) The other is because they lack the verbal ability to truly communicate what they believe in a calm manner.  They want you to know the same joy of salvation and service but are unable to convey that.\n\nThe Bible says....... Always be ready to give an explanation for your hope to anyone who asks you, but do it with gentleness and reverence.  I Peter 3:15-16.

I am not a Christian, but I'm willing to lay odds most people would not change their beliefs. Faith is a powerful tool, and if its strong enough, not even irrefutable proof will bend it. There have been many such discoveries lately, lending credence to the fact Jesus was human, had children, etc. About 80% of the world's biblical scholars agree that Talmudic law would have demanded Jesus as a prophet to have a job and a wife. I doubt he would have been married and remained a virgin his whole life lol. Yet even in light of these facts, many christians remain steadfast in their religion. And so what if they do? When they die, they'll know the truth, just like the rest of us.

You tell um Tammy.\n\nThese people are about as far from the teachings of Jesus as they can get.  Its amazing that they actually think of themselves as Christians.\n\nLove and blessings \n\nDon

They hear and see the actions of people who claim to be Christians but live contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ on the news and in the media. The only information they know about real Christianity is not what's being portrayed in our society. Therefore, that's all that they see and they believe that ALL Christians must be like that. Pray for them recmanor.

Faith is belief without proof. I can't speak for all Christians, but I don't think I'm any better than anybody else. For that matter, I don't KNOW that I picked the right religion, I just believe I did. Can't prove it, can't disprove it, I just believe it. I do agree with some of the "idiots" that CONSTANTLY question religion, though. Some of the pseudo-christians on here are more conceited than saved.
