Non- Christians, is it just me?

Question

do you get pissed when Christians tell you that you're going to Hell or that you need Jesus or to read the Bible?

PS: What else has a person of the Christian faith said to you that made you want to tell them to SHUT UP?

Olivia, I said "Non- Christians", maybe you're going to Hell since you believe such a place exists!!

PS: I'm not an Athiest, just not a Christian. I believe in God and Jesus, but I don't follow a religion and I do not believe in Hell.

Answer 1

I bet it does get old. I don't know why they do that. There is a time to quit. they may not know this.


Proverbs Ch. 22 vs 23-24-25

23) For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

24) Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

25) Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

Answer 2

I am agnostic so that makes me non Christian I guess.

I would have to say that Christianity derives its name from Christ. So in order to be Christian you need to follow the teachings of the Christ. What were his teachings?
Some were in the lines of:
Don't judge others, lest you be judged.
The person who has never sinned should throw the first stone.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn him the other cheek.
Love your neighbors, love your enemies too.
Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless.
Blessed are the meek; blessed are the peacemakers...

What do we see going in the name of Christianity? Here goes:
You are gay, you are wrong. I judged you and you are wrong and I am right.
Death penalty is required. You sinned so we must hang you. I may have sinned in the past but that's past. OR you are an illegal immigrant and we will persecute you. Yes, we were illegal immigrants too, but that is in the past and we changed the law since then. OR you can't have nukes, you might use them; yes we used them but that was in the past.
You hit us, we will hit you. And oh by the way, we will also hit your friends and neighbors and anyone who has a name similar to yours or who speaks the same language. And you killed 2000 of us but we will kill 200,000 of you.
We have to kill all enemies otherwise we are not safe.
If you are hungry, naked and homeless its your fault. You should learn how to live on minimum wage and no we will not raise the minimum wage. Deal with it. And if you fall sick, we don't want to pay for your treatment either.
We are the best. We are number one. Meek? Hah. You are just jealous because we are the best. We are also the peacemakers. If you don't listen to what we have to say we will bomb you, nuke you and eliminate you till there is peace.
We are Christians and Jesus is our Savior.

Amen

Answer 3

research yourself not other peoples feelings, maybe it guilt that bothers you. If all you do is rely on someone elses feeling that justify what you want to hear than you're not gaining any knowledge or insight to what the real problem is. Why don't you check it out and see if they're right or wrong then you can answer that question yourself and also have a proper response to the Christian that says that to you. Be a independent, self leading person, don't rely on others to feel the way you do.

Answer 4

I'm getting better dealing with them now that Q&A has opened the floodgates. I now see how horribly afraid they are, and it must be hell on earth to live that way and clutch on to a god of damnation.

It's not so much about them telling me I'm going to hell or that I need Jesus....it's more like, "how utterly sad for you to choose to live in such fear...and how utterly disgusting it is for you to want me to share in it".

...and I wanna shake them by the shoulders and slap some sense into them.

Answer 5

Hell means eternal separation from God.

Because our soul will live forever and because God is Justice as well as Love itself, we have to make a choice of whether we want to spend eternity with God or eternity without Him.

Most Christians never tell anyone that they are definitely going to Hell because a true Christian would not wish for someone to go to Hell and we don't know who will ultimately go there. We can only warn a person about Hell if they are obviously living in a state of mortal sin because we don't want that person to be in danger of going there.

A Christian might tell a person about Jesus and because that person doesn't want to accept Him their own guilty conscience, not the Christian, has damned them.

People who go to Hell will send themselves there. You and God are the only ones who know what is in your heart and if you would rather go to Hell than to humble yourself to love and serve the Lord God in Heaven.

Answer 6

Pissed is hardly the word, flames shoot out my eyeballs and I apparently give them a look that Say's "I have an ax and I am going to kill you" because I have seen more than one person back up. A friend said I should sell the look to the military as a secret weapon ;). I would never attack someone with my fists but my mouth, that's a different story. Come to me and tell me what their God is going to do to me...that would be the one and only time they make that mistake.

Answer 7

Telling me that I'm going to hell doesn't bother me, because I don't even buy that hell thing. Let them tell me what they please, and I'm sorry for them if they believe in that. The only thing that bothers me about many Christians (not all of them) is that they cannot argue in their own terms. They need to keep going to the Bible, as though they had learnt it by heart and didn't understand it to argue in their own terms. But then again, that's only some Christians, not all of them.

Answer 8

Well, the 10 commandments tell me to respect my neighbor... and if your my neighbor, I respect that, I'm not gonna go around telling you that you're gonna go to hell, that's annoying and arrogant. Who knows if us Christians are even right. Coming from a Roman Catholic, I may believe some of that... but I'm not gonna make you change your religion.

Answer 9

No I don't get angry when they tell me I may wind up in hell.
They get angry at me when I tell them they may go to hell because of blasphemy in believing in Jesus and praying to him, because he is not the son of God
God gave the Hebrews the Torah, the law and the Torah said he has not come yet and I choose to believe the people that god gave the law to
Then they get really pissed at me and scream "You are Going To Hell" then I get pissed

Answer 10

When I first left Christianity it used to really tick me off. That is one thing that definitely drives a person away. But now I just realize that anyone who uses those types of fear tactics are basically insecure themselves. So now I don't pay much attention to it or to the one saying it. If that's all they have to offer me from their religion, then it's not worth wasting my time to discuss it with them.
