Don't some of you think sometimes just the way Christians are...?

I do not walk around on a daily basis witnessing to anyone.  If you ask I will tell you what I know.  I do not try to convince anyone.  If someone has a question I will answer it or if I do not know I will certainly find the answer as soon as I can. *

As a christian... sometimes other christians come at you with the wrong approach which can cause some problems.  But don't hate because they are just trying to share they're joy that christianity has brought them.  it's up to you if you want to see what it is all about or not, and when you say no thanks they sometimes can get confused and defensive which is wrong.

Well as a Christian I would argue that not all Christians are like that by any means. Sadly like all religions there are charlatans who take advantage of people and compel them to do terrible things, (Pat Robertson calling for the assasination of Hugo Chavez, for example) and distort religion for their own sinister purposes. These particular 'Christian' leaders (Robertson, Fallwell, Swaggart, Baker, Dobson, ect) contradict the original teachings of Jesus Christ on almost everything. But I hope you don't lump ALL Christians in with them. To be honest they would probably do the same thing to Jesus now that the Pharisees and Saducees did to him in the 1st century: they accused him of sedition (calling him an enemy of Caesar), accused him of heresy (for not sticking to their rigid, burdensome, and unmerciful traditions), and eventually killed him. So by no means are all Christians fanatics, many of us are decent, respectable people who simply wish to practice our faith  without infringing on others' beliefs.

Christian do have a mind to think otherwise God wouldn't have gievn us one, but my thoughts have over the years being influenced by the bible, Nevertheless I do make a point to paraphrase it to my experience so it is more at human level for someone like you to understand. Check my previous answers, I seldom use bible quotes straight off unless demanded.

Maybe God isn't as smart as you...

I've never thought of it that way. I'm in between religious beliefs at the moment, but yours has given me an entirely new perspective on Christianity. Thanks for putting it out there!

It is very sad indeed that these statements hold so much truth. Just because someone says they are Christian does not mean they are Christ like although that is what the bible teaches us to be. All through out the Word of God we are taught love. I believe because of a few who are ready to condemn or judge others they are defeating the purpose of true Christianity. We are not suppose to turn any away and still there are those that do. Then again the bible says that many will knock but few will enter. I personally apologize to all who have been hurt by someone claiming to have done so for religions sake. The God I serve is a God of love and He loves each and every one of us no matter what our flaws. I'm sure that when He sees someone turning away from Him because of something said or done He is truly heartbroken and disappointed.

Some Christians do...it's the hardcore ones that are not willing to believe in anything except that which they believe gives glory to god...not all Christians are that hardcore...what the hardcore Christians are asking for is eminently impractical and chaotic...I think they are mostly after your hard earned...some people who would call themselves christian have more open minds...I don't think the founders of these religions wanted anyone to be miserable and look at life so two dimensionally...

It's funny how the way you see a situation depends on what side of it you are on. For example, many atheist believe that christians are insecure in their faith and as a result feel the need to get as many people in the world to also believe. Kind of a safety in numbers thing. It's interesting to see the same arguement being made from the other side.\n\nThat being said, I don't think it is accurate to claim that non-christians are critical of christians. It's more accurate to say that some non-christians are critical of christians, other aren't. Some Christians are critical of non-christians, other aren't.  It's just a fact of human nature. Some are more critical, others aren't. Unfortately, it's the ones who are critical that are heard most often.

how does one differentiate between 'real christians' and the rest who are somehow........ imaginary?--real christians try to end suffering any way they can--voting is one way they can do this--however, I am kind of glad 'Love my lord' does not

No way-- it's like me. I had freedom. Taught christians and everyone are all like, yah, it's real... but with me, when I was looking at my friends growing up like that, I thought, that's so stupid! When you're on the outside, looking in, it seems different!

I've always wondered that. Christ says quite blatantly what he thinks of it, but christians go along with the original.. hmm

I agree,.... no one should ever assume they have it all right. Every denomination or every religion is the product of someone interpretting something different than the guy before. Im a Christian and I see other Christians faithfully following doctrines that I have no idea how they can believe it in light of scripture. Im sure many would see some of my beliefs as false too. Fact being, we do not accept anything as truth that we do not understand so we change what we're told into something we can understand. However it doesnt change what IS Truth. I think our best bet is to realise we cant get it all right and just be open to learn.

Because not everybody's Christian.

haha not all are. i think it is easy for christians to get that holier than thou thing going because they know they are forgiven if they ask and believe. so this tends to make some people believe they can do what they want even at any cost. be very careful also cause there are a lot of psudo-christians who mascarade as christians just so they have the authority, if even just in their eyes, to run down and degrade non-christians. remember Christ preached love above all else, so if you can't love the sinner how can you honestly say you are christian if you can't practice what Christ preached?\n\ni am a christian and try my best to not be hypocritical when i talk about Christ or in my life as i know i am not perfect just perfectly forgiven. :-)

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)

Yes, too many Christians today resemble those hypocrites. They have all these little traditions and clicks instead of spreading love and goodwill like Jesus did. That’s why I stay away from Church and those places. Those people scare me...They don't know the real GOD, they just use Gods word to judge others. Think about this...Hitler believed that the bible justified what he did. Really...Judgment is not to be done by us.
