I am a Christian , and I was wondering what make non-Christians not want to be Christians?

Answer 1

Their sin and pride. It overcomes them. Many do not want to be judged for what they have done. They may have shame but are too proud to admit it.


believe

Answer 2

That would require volumes to answer. If you're really interested you can read books that would explain it. I highly encourage you to read. Below are all books I have read myself. The way I see it; how can you be anything unless you know enough first?

The End of Faith - Sam Harris
Letter to a Christian Nation - Sam Harris (Very short and to the point. Can be read in one night)
Why I am Not a Christian - Butrand Russel
Atheism: The Case Against God - George Smith
Why Atheism? - George Smith
Dialogues and Natural History of Religion - David Hume
Critiques of God - Peter Angeles
Atheism: A Reader - S. T. Joshi
The Dark Side of Christian History - Helen Ellerbe
The Age of Reason - Thomas Paine
Critique of Religion and Philosophy - Walter A. Kaufmann
The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy - C. Dennis McKinsey

Also consider this. If you were born in a Jewish family you would believe as they do. Not only that; more importantly you'd believe what they believe just as strongly as you believe what you believe as a Christian and with no more or less evidence to back those beliefs. If you think about that hard enough you'll come to some big conclusions.

Answer 3

In general the sanctimonious, self-righteous "I'm right you're wrong because this book says so and I know this book is right because the book tells me it's right" attitude that some Christians have, to the exclusion of things like rational thought and even a modicum of logical exploration, closing their eyes, ears, and minds to anything that doesn't fall within their tiny little box of "what is right".

Now, I realize that what I have described is a marked minority of Christian population. And I have also known some very good Christians who live their faith and I have nothing but respect for them.

I also have issues with the idea of a Deity that would condemn Its creations to eternal damnation for using the free will that It gave them. I also have issues with the idea of "a good person who lives their lives helping others and making the world a better place" goes to hell just because they happen not to be Christian, but a mass murderer, child molester, or serial rapist could go to heaven as long as they were "really really really sorry" before they died.

Answer 4

Several things actually.

1. The utter hypocrasy of nearly all of the christians I am aquainted with. It's a fashion show. There is more nasty gossiping and backstabbing going on in churches than in Hollywood.

2. More atrocities and murders have occured in the name of the christian god than any other reason in our history. For some reason, people view murdering and plundering others as acceptable as long as it is done for Jesus.

3. I cannot bring myself to believe in a book written by man that, in the end, amounts to a really long fiction novel. Holy inspiration or not, it was still written, edited, and published by man.

There are a few other reasons that are a little harder to explain, so I won't go into detail on them. I don't knock christianity, but I don't participate either.

Answer 5

First of all I have nothing against Christians, Catholics, Buddhists, etc. Whatever makes you a better person and gives you purpose.

To answer your question I think it's because Religion itself to me is barbaric in this day in age. If i had to choose a religion it would not be Christianity just for the reason that Christians have a history of being judgemental and cruel.

The movie Kingdom of Heaven portrays them as such. Please check out link below

Answer 6

I am a Christian too and a friend of a friend told me that the reason she was an atheist is because she's confused and she also doesn't like the boundaries and stuff and being told what to do.

But I'm a Christian and very proud of it!

Answer 7

depending on their attitude
it could be ignorance, brainwashed against it, it doesn't seem logical to non-Christians so they cannot seem to accept it, or they just haven't seen the light, haven't been "called"
I'm Christian too, and wasn't always in favour of it, but now I am and wouldn't want to be otherwise ever again.

Also, many people cannot discern true christianity from false stuff, politics, false-prophets, and those who embarrass christianity with scandals, wordliness, too strict or too wacky things, but its a shame they won't be smart enough to try to find true christianity. Unfortunately, they throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Answer 8

Because in general I see much more Christ-like behavior from non-Christians than I see from Christians.

Answer 9

All Christians do and want is to recruit/ with the use of missioners other people from other religions.
I believe it is the only religion that hunts down at other religions.
Plus, The cross – is considered as idle worshiping!!!

Answer 10

You could answer this one for yourself if you simply turned the question around on yourself.

What would make a christian not want to be a non-christian?

The difference is that most non-christians don't attemp to foist their beliefs on others, which means that you would never have to ask that question of yourself.

It's the very same question, and it has the very same answer - it's a matter of personal choice.

Answer 11

lol, what makes you want to be a non-Muslim? A non-Hindu? Your religion is no more special than any others, and actually has many more contradictions than the Koran. Plus, the Christian God is a pretty screwed up God, If I were going to choose some mythology to believe in I'd choose another, more loving God.
