Why are born again Christians such wackos?

The Bible states that you should talk to people about your religion and your love for Christ.  There are some factions of Christainity that take this to the exteream, calling you a heathen if you refuse to believe the EXACT thing that they believe.  Those christians decide to read what they want to out of the bible and to percicute everyone else.  They forget that their holy doctorine also sais to love thy neighbor.  and to forgive the sins of others.\nIf you want to have fun some time, get a copy of the bible and the Koran... They are so simular that they are almost the same...  Then look inside your self and relize that you will only have to answer to your self and all of the waccos won't bother you as much any more.  Or learn a few passages in the bible to spout at people that wont lwave you alone, that works too.

It's because religious fanatics are trying to brainwash us. They are single-minded,  believing that they will "save" us if they push their beliefs onto us.  It is their mission to witness to us.  I grew up in a Baptist church, so, am very familiar with beliefs and ways.  Freaky!\n\nAlso,  there are many people such as myself,  who are so irritated with the Bible thumpers,  that we present off-the-wall religious questions to push their buttons.  It's amusing!

Because they are mindless drones.  My roomate always talks about how he was raised in a "Good Christian Family", yet he can't even brush his teeth, shower or clean up after himself.  Most of them  just regurgitate was has been beaten into thier heads since childhood.  They don't even know anything about spirituality or faith.  Most very religious people I know are incredibly closed-minded.  I know one Christian who believes that dinosaur bones are fake, and that they were planted.  I'll never involve myself with any organized religion.  It's all the same crap anyway, and they wage war over it.  Also, most religions are hateful towards women.

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.

Even if the artist thanks God in their insert, that may just be a selling tactic, or they are just doing it because it is the thing to do.  Look at their lyrics, are they for God, or against Him??  If they were really born again, the Spirit would be living in them, and you would see the fruit of that in their music.  For example, if they were singing about sleeping with random people, and thinking that that was a great time, then they probably have not given their life over to the real Master.  You can tell if they are Christian by their actions.

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

Dear ES,\n\nThrough the years I've heard so many people say that it isn't fair to people who aren't born in Christian families or in a Christian nation.\n\nThe thing is that nobody is born a Christian, absolutely nobody.  The awesome uncreated Creator didn't have to save a single person because ALL have sinned and fallen short of His glory.  But while we were yet dead in our sins Christ died for the ungodly.\n\nJesus is the only Way to the Father but the Father does NOT have any quotas.  He doesn't want anybody to be eternally separated from Him.\n\nI'm enjoying your questions but I'll eventually get to the links you have provided.  Thank you!

You're a funny girl. As you probably well know, born again means in a spiritual, not physical sense. Also, I bet there are quite a few people who call themselves Christians that believe in reincarnation.

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!!!

This is one of those standard retorts that drives a stake through the hearts of bleedin' heart christians and their rabid war-mongering associates even.\nIt's a stumper for some, an opportunity for trotting out the prepared church answer for others.\nI am not one of either of these, thank the Dog!

Probably something to do with religion, christ etc. There are an awful lot of religious wackos out there.

No, those are fanatics of christianity.  Christianity is supposed to teach tolerance and acceptance.  A true christian is not supposed to such a thing.  Those people are also close minded morons.  Ignoring them is the best way to handle them.

I am a born again christian, and really and truly I am not intolerant of non believers. \nmy social circle ie my best mates in the  world who I couldnt live withou include\nhindus \nmuslims\nhomosexuals \nand athestis(spelt wrong?)\n\ni do not try and convert them or change them in anyway.\nof course conversations turn to religion at times and them i give my views, as do they.\nto be quite honest I personally believe that christians get a raw deal.\nperhaps because we dont retaliate as vermently as some other's when our believe system is mocked.\n\nwe are not all God botherers/Bible bashers.\nif someone wants my opinion on a religious subject I'll give it but most times it's ignored out of hand simply because it's a christian view. I have never forced my opinion on anyone.\n\nI believe that God has chosen those who will get to know Him.\nthere are different types of people with different priorities concerning the spread of thier faith.\nmy sister in law gets on even my nerves!!!\nshe does not generally associate with non belivers (unless she is in a situation trying to preach God's Word)as she feels this would affect her way of life. that is her personal convictions.\nthey are not the same as mine or lillions others.\n\nI believe that people should be able to see the way many christians live their lives and feel inspired to know God.\nsome do some dont. thats life\n\npls dont critise or condemm all christians in the same boat. just as most of us dont condemm non believers of believers of other faiths.\nthis is a multi cultural world and we have to accept everyone.\nLet him without sin throw the first stone\n\nx

because certain christians think that they are the "chosen ones" and they have a right to do whatever they please because god will forgive them.\n\nha! i say they are the biggest hypocrites of them all!

I agree. i think that they are mad at us christians b/c we preach to them, they get mad at me for saying this sometimes: I know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...

It does not bother me in the slightest.  How can such tyranny have come from a true Christian?  That's not Love, that's not how Jesus would ever want people to act in His precious name.\n\nRather, those who participated in such heinous deeds were users of the faith for their own political agenda's and had no real love for Christ.  They have nothing to do with me.
