Very nice! I asked a question similar to yours earlier this week and have a few good answers back. I'm not a Christian but I do sometimes find myself wondering why "these idiots are doing (insert thing here)..." and then I catch myself. I don't want to fall into the my-religion-is-the-best trap. I keep asking God to lend me an open mind. One tries and then keeps on trying. Good luck, Dearheart. I hope you get the answer you're looking for. Blessings.

Cussing and screaming never spoke to anyone's heart. You are right in that true Christians are not to judge, but we are to speak the truth. I am not trying to turn the tables with the following statement, so don't take it the wrong way. Please don't judge Christians as a group by the actions of a few.
Edit: Not trying to preach either. I just know how the actions of a few can stain one's opinion of an entire group. Interesing how they chose to respond to your question. Speaks volumes about thier character, huh?

I have never met you,but I feel like I need to tell you something.
Let me start off by asking you some questions.( just answer by yourself )
Do you consider yourself to be a good person?? ( answer )
OK...have you ever told a lie??
what does that make you??
Have you ever stolen anything,regardless of worth??
If so, what does that make you??
And that is only looking at two of the Ten Commandments.
We could look at the other 8,but because of time, I will not.
So based on the questions that you answered above-if you were to die,and stand before a Holy,pure,spotless God on judgment day,would you be innocent or guilty??
Would you go to Heaven or Hell??
Jesus was beaten,whipped and nailed to a cross, so that you and I would not have to go to hell.He took the place of us,and was our substitute.
All you ( and everybody )has to do is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ ( and what he did for you )and you will be saved.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks again and God bless!

No fair, you just judged me. How come people who don't believe the bible use it out of context? I would never cuss you or put u down for your beliefs but don't tell me just because I don't agree that I am judging you.
The only people that I see cussing anybody are the people talking to Christians.

First off, don't lump all Christians in your question. Not all of us judge others, because frankly the Bible tells us that we have no business in doing so.
I'm also not sure who you refer to as "us" but those who point fingers at others need to remember that they have 3 fingers pointing back at themselves when they do.
Those "Christians" that you speak of, the ones you are asking to account for things they've said and done, will have to answer to a much higher authority at the end.

People treat each other crappy, for whatever reason, and always have and always will. Religious persecute ebbs and flows with the tide and every religion has a dark side to face (take a look at the religious hatred that fuels the rivalry between India and Pakistan). It's not just Christians, and you're not going to see it stop.

'cause: MY GOD IS BETTER THAN YOUR GOD
and the deep close personal relationship i used to have with my higher power has had veil upon veil put up on it, to the point I am weighted down and all I can do is "follow" and even then I am slow; but, i know, i have memorised all the cliches and catch phrases and sometimes i like to sit around and tell jokes and poke fun at other religions, especially those that don't seem to have anything to do with my god...'cause:
M Y G O D I S B E T T E R T H A N YOURGOD

I don't think of myself as a judge for only God can judge. Besides, I'd be scared to be a judge based on what it says in the NT....."Judge not lest ye be judged for with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured unto you again!" I don't cuss anyone over not accepting my point of view. It wouldn't make me very Christ-like, now would it? When it's my turn to give my account, I can only hope He says to me, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." As for other religions, I hope that their beliefs have enough Bible behind them to get them in too so that we can ALL rejoice together in God's greatness forever.

i am a Seventh-Day Adventist and i don't think that only my religion is going to be in heaven. no way. i have really good friends that are of different religions and i have no doubt in my mind, that they will be in heaven. people that give people from different religions crap are just being plain dumb. and i am so sorry if somebody has done that to you. that is such a horrible thing.
truly, i am sorry.
God bless you.
