I respect people who have a belief most of my best friends are religious and I love them all to death and in this question I've no intentions to offened any body.
But I am curious to know why religious people come knocking at my door trying to convert me, yet when I question their religion I suddenly have no respect.
I appreciate that the bible is a guide to what is right and wrong but I find it hard to believe that a man up in the sky created us all when there is so much evidence against it. There are many holes in the lodgic of the bible which is what keeps me from going religious. But I am still able to appreciate people who believe in it as I know they are trying to do the right thing. So why are religious people so quick to judge me?

You can be religious without following the teachings of the compassionate and loving Jesus. There are plenty of people sitting in church pews who talk a good game, but they don't have a real relationship with Christ.
Jesus Himself spoke about the religious ones:
Matthew 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
A real Christian isn't judgmental, and while we will be happy to talk to you about why we believe what we believe, we're not going to attack you.

They are wrong to sit in judgement of you-you have the same rights to examine the facts and information regarding spiritual or any other matters which interest you.
Those who have certain values and beliefs may feel a need to make you aware of truths that they think pertain to your eternal or spiritual well being; but you certainly have the right to question and investigate the validity of the matters they are presenting you with-and yes even to refuse to listen to them if you so choose.

Don't listen to them follow your heart but let me give you an advice... you better search about the truth in this life because you only got one to spare... even if you believed in reeincarnation there is no proof...
I'm a muslim so sorry to say... though is just an advice read the qu'ran, i was a Christian before and i found the same problem with the bible and its mistakes and different interpretations... i went to find out the truth about this world and bump into Islam...
It is your choice... by the way Islam is not Muslims...

You're speaking of the Jehovah Witness cult and they are taught that only they are in "the truth".
I'm a Christian and respect your beliefs :-)

Religious belief is easy to advocate but logically indefensible. Like anyone else, they are trying to emphasize their strengths and hide their weaknesses.

Take it up with the individuals that judge you. The rest of us Christians do not because we are taught not to.

Yeah it doesnt make sense if someone goes up to your house and says "hey, live your life like mine. If you dont you are wrong."

True Christian won't judge you. Jesus never taught that.

Would you rather we judge you slowly?
