A Christian is like a chrylalis. He looks foolishly enclosed in his beliefs but inside he is changing by a power greater than him into a beautiful new creature.

Shir - You are right. I forgot to say that I think non-christians view us as this. They are always focusing on our shortcomings and thinking we are close minded in our beliefs. That's the point of view I wrote this from.

Yeah, I like this one. And here is another: Christians are like tea bags, you dont know waht they are made of until you put them in the hot water.

Calling a person's beliefs foolish, no matter what they believe is foolish. As for changing into a beautiful new creature that would depend on how they follow the teaching of their faith. And that could very well apply to all faiths not just christians.
There is plenty of room on our little blue and green orb for all faiths.

That's not a bad start. When we accept Jesus as Savior, God begins a change in us from the inside out. We are immediately transformed spiritually from a state of sin to a state of grace, but the change in our outward behaviour is what takes time. We have to learn God's ways and replace our own selfish ways. For most of us it doesn't happen overnight, but is a process that we continue for the rest of our lives.

Nope...a hardcore Christian just looks exactly as they are: a close-minded, intellectually-dishonest and unthorough moron :) no offense to the more liberal Christians out there, not got any real beef with you guys (except the fact that you're still intellectually dishonest...you accept the Bible is not meant to be followed word for word literally, and even doubt parts of it, yet still don't take that thinking further and reject it entirely).

No, not quite. He only looks foolish to those who don't/won't believe. The last half of the sentence I would agree with though.

not really because christians have a responsibility to bring others to the lord while furthering his own understanding

Yea that is a pretty good analogy, with the exception that our change will be instantaneous when Christ returns.

somewhat it makes sense, but not in total, for what you are inside wil show in the outside also.
