Christian can you remember to teach with humilityand patience and speak the truth in love and give reasons for why you believe?
Non Christian can you stop being so rude on purpose because many of the Christians here are only trying to be sincerely helpful, and can you also distinguish between a true and false Christians instead of generalizing all Christian horrible because of some bad because no real Christian can practice sin and that is how you will know them by their love?

I am a littlre confused as to your posting but I feel that you are trying to get people to quit generalizing christians as bad people just because a few may not repond with love and compassion. I am here to trulu be helpful if I can and do not appreciate the mockery of God and Christians. I have gotten some awesome feedback from a few people that I have answered their questions so Iknow I am helping with the grace of God and only with the the grace of God. I am a mere tool for I use His words to help others.

I am a Christian and believe all people are God's children whether they know it or not, I try to give people the respect they deserve but some people think that means we have to be walked all over and are suppose to take it. I hope this is not your idea of humility and patience. I also think you should say what you mean that way if you are wrong someone can help you. I do not get mad at those that put down Christians because everybody knows you can not be that understanding at all times, even Jesus got mad, and let them know it. You have to know when to pick your battles. Also "Christians" are very judgmental if you are real you are at most times tolerant. Christians can be just as rude I am sure you have notice. There is no need to cuss anyone out or to hurt anyone, but you can get your ideas out also. Mean people are just mean and you need to pray and a lot of times just fall down laughing at them. There is a true difference between just mean and pure evil, everyone can see it Just a few of my insomnia thoughts.

As a HUGE non- Christian, I can honestly only thank you. Remembering that patience and humility should be the first and foremost teaching of anything shows you have a wonderful heart.
However, I am perturbed that you expect I need teaching. Discussing religion with an open mind, well thought answers, and an actual true understanding of your beliefs is a very hard conversation to have. Most people won't put aside their differences. Most people still deep down believe that they are the only right way to "Heaven." That their god is the only god.
I do not try to convert every non-Pagan I meet. Nor do I pick a fight with the first non-Pagan I meet. I will however stand up for my beliefs and try to protect others against the typical stand-offish Christian.
I am not saying that you are one of those people. Above I praised you for your open heart. Most Pagans I know just hate that every time we turn around, there is a self-righteous Christian who doesn't truly understand their religion, its beginnings and its interpretation, trying to send us to Hell or convert us. We have made our decision, and them theirs. If we seek you out for questions and conversion, them by all means, teach us your ways. But yous ways are not the only ways... and never have been.
Be respectful of me and I will to you. (this is not to the asker- but to the Christians the question was posed)

No, you are wrong. Most Christians are not trying to be sincerely helpful, they merely have a heart full of hate and have diluted themselves into thinking they can get into heaven if they convert enough people. Start teaching love and acceptance with no religous boundaries. THAT is what will make this world a better place.

You don't have to remember to teach with humility and patience or remember to speak truth. A true Christian just does these things without thinking.

I am non Christian, i am Pagan.
i have not been rude to thoes that were not rude to another.
i treat people as they treat others.
You ask many things of the non-Christian,
one of the things that you ask us to do is to distinguish between the true christian and the false christian.
yet you yourself do not distinguish between the Pagan, Jewish, Muslem, Wiccan, Scientologist, Athiest, Agnostic, Satanist (Laveyan and traditional)
you lump us all as non christian and the Christian lumps us all (or most of us) as SATANIST. they know nothing about the religions that the Pagans and Wiccans and Satanists practice. they know only what their doctrine tells them.
our doctrine does not even mention christianity.(for thoes of us whom have a doctrine) out teachings do not seek to vilify their religion. you will see that there are more tolerant Pagans and Wiccans than there tolerant christians.
LOOK at any question about learning Wicca or Paganism
it will be clogged with people putting it down and calling us devil worshipers......However i have given many people very nice answers about Jesus. In my life i have turned more people to Jesus than i have to my own gods and goddesses. this is because i am able to inspire FAITH and i can inspire that faith to a wondering christian and get them back on to their chosen path without the need to try to convert them to my paticular beliefs.
I actually know something about Christianity, and Islam, and Judaism. because as a Pagan i study religions and their beliefs.
show me the Christian that has studied my beliefs in an effort to understand them and not an effort to blaspheme them and call them evil.
they are out there but they are few and far between.

Eh? Nice way to insult me.
I post politely, you say that I'm rude on purpose. It is not nice at all to make broad-brush attacks.

for those christians who do approach with humility and piety, they get slammed from the antagonistic troupe who arguably take no prisoner in their rebuttal and attacks.
as for the non christian, there is no such thing, they just have not bent their knee and confessed with their mouth.....yet.

I have never said all Christians are horrible. I have said (and keep saying) Christianity is horrible. It's the same difference as the one between "Cancer is ..." and "People ill with cancer are ...". I hate cancer, but I sympathise with the ill.
