Isn't it highly hypocritical and nauseating when certain christians....?

Question

launch a hateful tirade against you, telling you how foolish you are because you refuse what they believe or quote scripture to tell you how evil you are or best of hall smugly tell you you will burn in hell for all eternity

but

At the end of the hateful tirade, they add...... "god bless you" or " I will pray for you" or even "Hugs".

Does adding something like this excuse the hate that preceded it ?

If you are going to be nasty and hateful, fine, but don't try to dress it up.

Note : I said CERTAIN christians, a definite minority.

Answer 1

It is very hypocritical. Either act like a Christian or don't but don't try to do them both at the same time. Just because you end with something sweet doesn't mean you can be mean the rest of the time. Either act like your God wants you to act or act like the way the devil would want you to act.

Answer 2

There are better ways of getting one's point across. I am a christian, and i don't launch hateful tirades against anyone. In fact most of my friends are not in my same religion (Pentecostal), and I get along with them just fine. I believe it's the way you act that wins over a person...not condemning them. I know if someone told me that my beliefs were wrong and that I was going to burn in hell, i would be pissed; i wouldn't want to deal with that person, so why would i do the same?!

Answer 3

I have to say that I barely notice most of those "certain christians." People who do what you described in your question are somewhat few and far between. I am not required to read EVERY answer and every question. I can usually get the main idea from the first couple of sentences.

I'm not sure it nauseates me. It could be the stuffed peppers from dinner last night.

I really, on the most part, ignore people like that. We don't have anything to learn from each other. I'd rather focus on the questions and answers that mean something.

Answer 4

People are still human even if they are Christians. Sometimes "certain Christians" as you call them are very new in the Lord and haven't matured. They are on Fire for God and want to tell you about Him. I'm sure they are not even aware that they're coming off that way. Give them time and the Fruits Of The Spirit will show through.

Answer 5

To sum it up simply, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Maybe the best response would be to tell that person you will be praying for them! It can really hurt to be judged by someone like that. When one of my children (an infant) was seriously ill and dying, someone asked me if I was "living right for the Lord" trying to make me responsible for the coming death of my little son. That was a very long time ago, broke my heart, and still hurts today. I wish I could let it go and, even though I know the comment was garbage and I was in no way responsible for the death of my beloved little boy, it is hard to forget.

Answer 6

A true christian is not a fanatic bigot. The problem lies with fundamentalists who want to convert others to their beliefs. Faith is not a bad thing, organised churches are the sources of evil and that's why most wars in history are caused by religious bigotry. Faith can be credited for certain moral frameworks that benefit society, but when faith is fuelled by zealotism it becomes a dangerous weapon in the hands of religious manipulators. People should free their minds from extremes and blind faith.

Answer 7

It is hate too you ...but love too them...a Christian will never intentionally hurt someone else with words because God teaches us how to control our tongue and be kind loving people...if they are mean words then the person is probably claiming to be a Christian that they're not or they're just unwise and are at the very beginning of their Christian life and they are still learning. words are very powerful and can easily be used the wrong way...Christians are not exempt from sin...we still make mistakes...I am Christian though, and I would never hate on someone with my words...it's against evrything Christianity stands for...you just came across the wrong Christian...be care also how you percieve things...don't get so offended because they are only trying to help you...You do need God...( don't take offense to this)...even if you don't believe it or want to admit it...and of course God Bless you and evrything you do in your life...may He be with you always. (remember don't take offense....it's just love...it's just love)

Answer 8

I've noticed that myself. It is strange. I knew a guy who was serving as a Mormon missionary. One day he and his companion walked onto this guy's lawn to go knock on his door. The guy came screaming out of the house, yelling that he knew about Jesus, he was already saved, and if they didn't get the ---- off his lawn he was going to cut them. I thought it was pretty ironic.
Yes, it is hypocritical and stupid. If you're going to go on a tirade of hate, don't claim it's love. that's not the way Jesus worked and it's not the way we should work either.

Answer 9

Yes, but I always appreciate the irony of "Christians" not adhering to the "What would Jesus do?" credo that they spew forth ad nauseum.

I'd like to add that I've met a few genuine Christians that are a credit to their faith and to mankind as a whole.

Answer 10

It's no more hypocritical and nauseating than when certain atheists post taunt after taunt trying to tear down others' belief systems, then act all offended and indignant when they get rebuked by those they are attacking...
