Okay everyone. Why are so many of us answering questions with hostility and insults? What the crap is that? I find it painful every time I see a member of the body of Christ insulting non-Christians every time they ask a question about our faith, even if they are insulting us. Seriously, do you think you;re doing any good? All you are doing is convincing any non-Christian that thinks we're all a bunch of judgemental jerks that they are right. How does this represent the image of Christ, huh?

You're right. I'm sorry to all that I have done wrong. (I'm not being sarcastic)

Love your post...I had been checking the Answers thing almost everyday but stopped checking so often because I was getting tired of "drama" from both Christians and non-Christians alike. Please know that I am not saying everyone as there are many good questions and answers but I was just seeing too much "hate" and sarcastic responses. Try as we may not to judge it happens...my statement above has judgment in it even though I am trying not too...it is often difficult to make a point without some 'judgment' working its way into things.
Anyway...
This forum is a great opportunity to openly share belief and knowledge but in order for it to really work there needs to be mutual respect by all. We do not have to all agree but we should make every effort be respectful of others.
Blessings to all!

I think you are right, but honestly, I am only responsible for myself. People here can judge me all they want, but they don't know me. There are always going to be people who make any group of people look bad, whether atheists, muslims, democrates, lawyers, etc. I have meet atheists on here who claim that violence and wars are the result of religion, yet that same person will make hateful comments toward Christians.

i don't insult to non-christians if they r talking bad about christians, of course i would say tht is mean and yeah i would say tht God is real and true, but other i don't really say anything bad. i am a christian and God says in the Bible not to judge other people, so i am trying not to judge because it is a sin. I love God and I pray for Christians and Non-Christians out there. May God be with you all.

Amen to that! We shouldn't bring religion into politics. Everyone should be entitled to their opinion but insulting someone is just not right - in any religion or culture.

GOOD FOR YOU. We are supposed to be lights in the world. and show the truth with LOVE, KINDNESS, AND COMPASSION.
Either they accept the TRUTH or they don't and leave it at that. For everyone is called or invited but very few will accept the invitation.

We needed that reminder.
Thank you.
Sometimes we just let the hatred and slander get to us. I know I've been guilty of it at times. I'm sure we all have.
As for me, I hope I'll be more mature in the future.

I agree.
It's good to have that reminder because we are representatives of our faith. We are only human and all of us have our faults and sins too. That's why we need Jesus in the first place.

I do not mean to be that way. Besides I have apologized at least twice on my blog. That is where to see what I am trying to say.
