First of all Christians aren't mindless. God doesn't want us to be mindless nor does he want us to have blind faith. He wants us to use our brain and think and question things and make decisions for ourselves. That is why he gave us brains and free will. God wants us to know what we believe and why and as such we must have our eyes wide open in our faith in Him. I have never forced my beliefs on anyone. Jesus has never done that either. He would give His opinion and have His say. Anyone forcing their religion or beliefs on someone is in the wrong. Even a Christian who tries to force their opinion on someone is sinning and needs to stop. Yes I will give my opinion on lots of things, especially when I see someone such as you making the comments or posing a question such as you have, but you are free to believe and think what you want. Yet it seems that most of those who are Anti-Christ and Anti-God want to have their say or make rude comments, but not let the Christians have their say. So now you had your say and I had mine and you can take it or leave it. The choice is now yours. John 3:3-6 and Ephesians 2:8-9

No-and people who aren't Christians shouldn't think that Christians are nothing but mindless Jesus worshiping drones either.....
It's all about a little thing called RESPECT -in different religious belief's systems ... let and let live.....

We are far from mindless drones.
We love Jesus.
I am not brain washed.
We hope that you will find the Truth.
God loves you and he wants a relationship with you.
If you decide that you don't want to accept Him and live your life without Him then it is done. You will live eternity without Him too. And that means you are accountable for all of your sins and have to pay for them yourself. Jesus' holy blood washes me of my sin if I repent and turn from the sin. Heaven in Holy, that means there can be no sin in it, not one. That is why Lucifer was cast out he was the first to sin (pride). The reason you are so angry about this is because a part of you is searching for something. We were created to fellowship with God. That IS the meaning of life. If we were drones we would not have the choice of freewill to choose Jesus and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Forced mindless love /worship is no love at all. God doesn't just love us, He IS love. God bless you on your journey. The thing I regret most in my life is the time I wasted fighting against God, when I knew His Word was true, and I could have been serving Him and helping people in His name, bring glory and praise to Him.

No, we believe we are given a free choice and we use that choice to honor Jesus, because of our beliefs in what he did to save us. If you feel being a Christian is being a mindless drone, talk with some Satanists sometime. There is a bunch who really don't think (for themselve or at all.).

No. God created you as an individual, unique and special. You have a specific purpose in his great plan and he wants you to receive that plan. Following God is not becoming a drone---quite the contrary. Following the world IS becoming a drone a Satan who does not want you to become anything but a dead body six feet under and a soul boiling in hellfire. Jesus, who is God, loves you and died for you. He wants you to be successful in life, but he expects you to do it his way. If you take command of your life you will fail---life is just too complicated for you to succeed on your own. There are those who give the appearance of being self-made, but if you look closely at their lives you will find them lonely and miserable and constantly seeking the next high to feel good about themselves. In the end they will loose all. True freedom comes through obeying God and relying on him for all your needs. I thank you for is question.

Not mindless drones. Christians see God as the ultimate power and his son Jesus as our savior. Christrians believe that all Christians will be saved by Jesus Christ in the end. Many of them want to save as many people as possible. So they want us to accept Jesus.

i'd opt to handle your notion that non-believers stay to their very own accord. you're making it sound as though someone who does not adhere to christianity won't be able to probably have a ethical experience or any morals. I care to variety. If I had no morals or ethical experience i does no longer hardship to be polite with my reaction. the reason some atheists evaluate christians senseless drones, i think of, is seeing which you're letting somebody else who's not extra useful nor worse than your self inform you they understand the reality. in case you think because of the fact "the bible tells me so" this is a cop-out, undeniable & uncomplicated. i've got examine the Baghavad Gita, yet that does no longer mean i will run around telling actually everyone I see that it is the reality, or that i've got become a Hindu purely because of the fact it confirmed me the way. Any senseless drone can swallow regardless of they are tossed, it takes thinking of religion to make it stable. even though it takes a real BS artist to loudly proclaim to a minimum of one & all that THEY understand the reality. it rather is probably why this variety of super style of atheists are contemptuous of the christians that get on YA! & start up clacking away like some weird and wonderful, insane beehive that one and all people who do no longer think of as they do are incorrect. additionally, we are fed up in the previous excuses for the "witnessing", i.e, "it says to witness interior the bible", "we purely opt to unfold the stable information", etc. Do you rather think of there are an substantial quantity of individuals out right here interior the international who've by no potential been uncovered to christianity? possibly if there have been an implied be conscious of in direction of others' approaches of thinking, somewhat of the self-righteous approach that non-believers experience threatened by potential of christians, there does no longer be this variety of backlash of vitriol. purely some food for concept.

no, you can live a normal life. Just do what you do in moderation....and avoid the things that God expressly warns us not to do. but then why would you want to anyway?
It is easy to get started too. All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. And you do that by confessing with your mouth that you believe Jesus died for your sins. He did it whether you believe it or not actually.
Ask him to come into your life. And when you find a church to go to.....I know you can find one you feel comfortable being a part of.

No, God created man with the ability to have free will so that man would willfully choose to love God. It would not bring God praise to allow all people to become mindless drones but to think for ourselves and worship God because we choose to love him, not forcefully

NO! absolutly not!.... The relationship of one of the Christian Faith is to God one-on-one and personal in free will love. We come to God in The Way He proscribes. Which is Through Christ Jesus. But God do'nt want robots. If he did he would have made them.
I accept questions about the Christian Faith from all honest seekers.
