Has your experience here on answers caused you to like Christians less, more, or the same?

Answer 1

The same. I try not to lump people into one big, all encompassing category. There are good and bad people in all faiths.
I just come in here for a laugh.

Answer 2

I'm a Christian, but these overzealous fundamentalists drive me up the wall! This shouldn't be a place to beat people over the head with the Bible, or Koran, or Bagavad Ghita or any other religious book. Trying to force your beliefs down other people's throats is about the most UN-Christlike thing anybody can do

Answer 3

As a group, my opinion hasn't changed, because I think that those here represent a relatively small amount of close-minded, judgemental Christians. Fortunately, not all Christians are like that. I do have more tolerance and understanding for them now. I wish that they would listen to the words of their own Holy Bible instead of judging and slandering other faiths for being wrong. It is not their place to judge. (Let he who is without sin cast the first stone... Judge not lest ye be judged, etc.)

Answer 4

Less.

That said, I have also learned that there are good Christians who are fair, open-minded individuals. And I need to remember that they do exist (even though I'm not a Christian and don't want to be).

But most I've found on here really turn me off.

Answer 5

It has taught me that many who call themselves christians are not followeres of the teachings of Jesus.

This has me more confused than anything.

It does not cause me to love them more or less because that would require that I judge them. As a follower of Jesus I am asked not to do that.

Answer 6

I don't label people like that. I don't assume that because one individual who labels him/herself as a Christian posts something that I like/dislike that all other Christians hold the same belief. I consider myself Christian, but consider some Christians wacko...not because of their religion, but because of the way they behave.

My experience on this website has, however, caused me to dislike teenagers a little more. I'm sick of "Whose birthday is ___?" and "Do you think my avatar is hot?"

Answer 7

Same as well as with any other religion. Why even hate Christians in the first place?

Answer 8

Honestly, it's opened my eyes to the vast differences between Christians. They seem to have an endless degree of variation in their individual beliefs and see the world in more different ways than I previously realized.

Answer 9

Hasnt changed my opinion on whether or not I like them or not. what it has done has changed my PERCEPTIONS of them.... and I can tell you that fron surfing Y!A, Ive come to feel more pity to Christians than I had before. Pity for their lack of knowledge of their own historical roots, pity for their misunderstanding of the fact that not everyone beleives and shouldnt be forced to live under their laws (such as Bush vetoing stem cell research based solely on his religious philosophy.)

Answer 10

I have pretty much the same opinion of Christians that I have had for years. They are generally people of great faith. There are those who go about living their lives by their faith; there are those who scream about how everyone else should live their lives; there are those who follow their path out of faith, and there are those who follow their path out of fear.

I have a lot of respect for the person of any faith who can say, "This is what I believe in, and this is why."

I don't have a lot of respect for the person of any faith who says, "This is what YOU should believe in, because this book says so."
