not all of them are like that, but for the ones who are...\n\nthey think they're something special :)\n\nthey think they're the chosen one...\n\nthey feel powerful judging others, almost god like, cause they are in a group. they dont realise that they are playing god, there by making the biggest mistake of all

because ppl spend most of their time assuming everything.... judging ppl before they know them, thinking if they are one way then they must be this, this and this.\nIt is the sad state of the world.

That is a matter of your own opinion. Just because someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you that does not make that person a idiot. You are just stereotyping that individual which is not right because if you are religious I doubt your religion consist of being judgmental towards others and not to mention rude.

GOD judges in HIS time. Those, then, who are judged do not have the choice to write here in this forum. :)

I think it just boils down to simple Psychology 101:   insecurity about themselves and the faith they are in and wanting validation that they are in the "right religion".\n\nThat is what I have observed...not just here at YA, but also from visiting other religious/spiritual forums and newsgroups in the past.  It comes with the territory of said forums.  Total package, iow.

This is very true. Most modern religious folks are not willing to step outside of their normal perspective on things. I find it a little sad that so many people refuse to think for themselves.

Religious people have certain notions that have been drilled into their heads by family, peers and close-minded beliefs. Even though not "all" are the same the vast majority are in fact like that. As an example the other day I had this lady come up to me and start to ask me about having bible 'discussion' at home, when I told her I'm not interested she began making several insinuations to include saying people that don't believe as they do are hypocrites... hahaha! boy did she have it backwards.

We call these people hypocrites.  Others may say, it is because people don't really understand the Bible and invent their own interpretation.  Then other want to act cool to others and do other things behind close doors.  Then others say "God gave us the choice to believe in Him or not to believe in Him.  In the end we all will be judge.

Because people question what they don't understand, they trash it to make themselves feel big, and with that they think it will prove their believes to be true. \nOthers are afraid of it, what if it is true! and they are not one of those who believe in it!  \n\nThey shouldn't judge the Bible with what some Christian do, as we can judge all other people and what their's do.  Religion is a personal thing, and the Bible is a living book.  Think about it.

It is because their beliefs don't seem to have a logical basis.  However, it is the task of evolved people such as yourself to respect other peoples beliefs even if they disagree with yours.

I understand where you are coming from.  Christians get that stereotype because of others claiming to be a christian.  Thats not what the bible says Christians are suppose to act like but thats what everyone wants to see and judge.  But as long as i know where i stand with God it doesnt matter what anyone else says.  God Bless!!

They don't realize that they talk about God and always say "God Bless America" and think they have the right to criticize. They are no one to judge, only God can judge. They are ignorant, God forgive me but they are. They need to realize that just like they are judging they will be judged, but not by other human beings but by God.\n\nand to imstillsandy...there is many people out there judging us by our color and race. I went to the store the other day and was denied service because of my skin. So you don't talk before you don't know. They are getting sued because I am too an American. The only thing is that my ancestors are Mexican, but that does not give people the right to try to put us down.

Because there are many ignorant people out there who let one incident decide their judgement about a religion.  There are also some narrow minded people who feel that their religion is what everyone should be.

God judging people is different from people judging people. The Bible tells us that we should not judge each other, but God judges our actions.

The same reasons people practice any religeon. It's what they prefer to believe in. It makes the most sense to them.

im right there with you I don't understand why they think they are better than everyone else and they think that anything other than christainity is horible and the only real religion is christainity thats so bad and they also say there not hypocrites and they really are uggg its really annoying!!! They also are against other religions and types of people including homesexuals and like they say in the bible you should love your neighbor and how not liking homosexuals loving your neighbor!!! thank you for finally saying something other than god is so great!!!

When it comes to religion, a lot of people are unable to accept anything aside from what they were raised to believe or have come to believe.  They believe that their way is the right way, and everything else is just bunk.
