No one is perfect, and that includes Christians. However, there are many varieties of Christian, including those who don't believe that everyone else is sinning, etc. It is unfortunate that you judge all Christians by the ones who have those beliefs.

my religion professor told my class that Christians believe that God does not judge people. With that being said, you can still be "saved" from eternal suffering while practicing another religion. The requirements are still the same: love your neighbor (everyone) especially your enemies. Live a life of kindness, peace, loving, etc. And no matter what God will always love you. Good is treating people respectfully, kindly, lovingly, etc. Bad is killing, hatred, death, etc.
Most of the time right vs. wrong a pretty black and white. Although sometimes it is shades of gray. (I'm not saying 1 religion is right and all others are wrong. I believe they are different versions of the truth.)
In theory, Christians don't believe anything of what you said. But, i do believe that frequently, people don't look at both sides of an argument and always say their view is right and everyone else is wrong.
Also, you may be dealing with stuck up Christians, in which case they can't be the same as ALL Christians. Some of the stuck up Christians may be like people who vote always vote Republican, and they would even if the Devil was a Republican. Some people just are ignorant of the truth (but that doesn't mean all Christians are that way, only the ones you know).

Hippocrates was a GREEK (not a fraternity member but an actual person born in the country Greece) physician, credited with being the "father of modern medicine". Physicians still take what is called the Hippocratic oath, a code of medical ethics they swear to uphold and practice.
As a Greek, Hippocrates may have believed in the pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses (headed up by Zeus and Hera). As a man of science, however, I suspect he may have been more of a humanist.
In any case he was born more than 400 years before Christ, so he could hardly have been a Christian!

I love hippos! They're so cool. Ever hear the song "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas"? One of my favorites :) As far as Christians being hypocrites - well, you can't really put everyone into a neat little category like that. Some Christians may be, but I do personally know a select few who are not. The same holds true for other religions as well - the ones who are the most vocal about it are often the ones who are not truly following the religion and its teachings, or they twist things around according to their personal agendas. (Happens in my religion too.) Um, what Bible are you reading? Some parts of the Bible teach positive things such as love, but there are many parts to the Bible that specify what types of people a good Christian is not supposed to associate with or tolerate. Lots of contradictory info in the Bible, which is a big reason that some just can't accept it as "the right way". Oh, and I'm so surprised that you didn't get more answers of "hate the sin, not the sinner" - yeah, that's a very fine line to walk. And some treat the "sinner" like dirt because they hate the "sin" - but they justify it as not showing hatred or intolerance to the person, just their "sin".

Everyone has a little hippocrate in them. If you are comfortable and happy with your beliefs and they help your life in a positive way then keep practicing, but I wouldn't waist any time trying to figure out other religions because it will just frustrate you and we can't always understand why people believe a certain way and act a certain way. We just have to focus on our lives and the people we love in our lives.

It is hyprocrite - Hippocrates was the founder of medicine in ancient Greece.
As to Christian hypocrisy, when you are absolutely you are right and have an absolute hold on truth, it is very easy to be judgemental about other people. Don't worry so much about it .... such people have a way of self-destructing....

Some Christians have been too pushy. They forget in the Bible it says to 'spread the Word in the biways and hiways, but to also dust your feet and walk away if they do not accept.' I'm paraphrasing, but it's in there. I'm sorry you are a witch. I'm also sorry you do not believe there is a satan. You will find out in the end and it will be too late for you. Please ask Jesus into your heart and to forgive you for all your sins so that you may go to Heaven. I will pray for your soul!!

There are just as many hypocrites in the unbelief society as well as religion.

The word is 'hypocrite', not Hippocrates! Really, how dim!
