Christians...could I please ask you a question....?

I am here to represent Christ by doing my best to emulate him, because he is the example we are to live by. That means judging behavior but NEVER people. It means loving each and every person I encounter regardless of how much their behavior might offend me. It means not pushing my beliefs on those who obviously do not want to hear them, because it only pushes them further away. It means thinking about why I believe as I do, and giving those explanations to those who solicit them either directly or implicitly. \n\nMany Christians do not understand that judgement and a self righteous attitude (i.e. telling someone they are going to hell), are instruments the devil uses to undermine our ministry from within. Some wrongly believe that the devil has no influence over a Christian, when in fact he will attack them more so than others. Not preparing for those attacks leads to Christians judging others and reacting when we should be turning the other cheek and thinking.\n\nMany Christians do not prepare themselves to answer questions, but they answer questions anyway. Not one individual Christian has all the answers - ONLY GOD has all the answers. I always pray for God's guidance before I begin answering, and if there is a question I cannot answer to my own satisfaction, I will research and think before I decide to try to answer it to someone else's satisfaction. When others do not do this, the result is often a sanctimonious and illogical answer. \n\nI BESEECH ALL CHRISTIANS - Let God and the teachings of Christ guide you in your dealings with those whose faith is weak or non existant. \n\nStop judging! Answer with a heart of love! Remember the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Your intentions are good, but when you judge and push, you are damaging your own cause! Please. Please. Love is our commandment.

Have to love christians - follow god or you will suffer for eternity. Please, give us a break with all of your religious crap. Nothing like trying to scare people into believeing something.

mudcat, you seem to be pissed with Christians. This is the only topic you have been discussing for the past 5 days. \nWhat happened?

Even though I admire your efforts, the way you have asked the question, will only make the christians feel insulted and become defensive. Only a very openminded one would read your post and seriously think about what you are saying. Good points, though.

Amen. I couldn't have said it better myself, Christian here.  I believe why not let the other person believe, think what they want, I never push Religion on anyone.  If they act interested or curious, I let them lead me into the discussion.  And I try my hardest to be polite, but I do have my days, I think every one does now and then.

I think most of us are pretty good at spotting the good guys from the trolls. There are Christians who think it must be impossible for an atheist to be friends with a Christian but I've plenty of Christian friends and they're only making a comment about themselves. I always really appreciate courteous questions and answers from people who don't hold the same worldview as me, and that includes yours. Peace to you.

That's hilarious!!! Sure, I think you should try it!  By the way, darling, I gave you thumbs up!! You should see the thumbs downs I get from Christians, on answers I give that are totally neutral.  You like to have a bit of fun honey, I'm sure there are some (yes even Christians) that get upset at that!  I personally think you're quite funny and realize that you are just playing.  Makes this place more interesting!

One of the things that I enjoy about Y/A is the wide chasm between questions.\nSome are hateful and trying to incite an argument.\nSome are down right blasphemy.\nAnd then there are questions, statements really, that warm the heart of this Christian Pastor.\nThe depth of understanding shows that Christianity is alive and well.\nYour question is one of those and I thank God for the question and you.\nMay God Bless You.

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

It's sad you cannot post a question without being attacked by Christians that claim  to adhere to the words of the Bible, particularly "Judge ye that not be Judged" and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." These so-called Christians should be ashamed for not allowing you to express your different Point of view in an open forum.  I think an even better point to make for these individuals who are willing to attack you in such a juvenile way is to quote my Kindergarten teacher “If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." May whichever god you choose, even if it’s none, bless you all.
