a christian attitude. should this make me want to become a christian?
in an answer someone says "Can you prove it did not happen....then you are more of a fool than those you condemn, Mr intolerant religious bigot... "
(interestingly enough hes quite wrong, infact all of my friends are christians and i have no problem with that. and i grew up in a christian school. im very impartial to religion in general)
and gets thumbs up. not only does he not answer the question but stoops to name calling. who gives thumbsup to these kinds of people?

those people do amuse me so. if it wasn't for them...who would argue with us to prove our points of them being the intolerant bigots? although, that's not nice. i do not like to call names. they should just keep up the fine work of their lack of open-mindedness.
And i'm sorry, but i once answered my door naked to the jehova's witnesses so they would stop bothering me with their pamphlets and bibles and crap. It worked. It just sucked that all my previous attempts to get them to leave me alone, like asking politely, did not work and I had to sink so low as to invite them in while i was naked. I think i scared them.

You need to remember that you are dealing with humans here. We all fall short from the glory of God. You can see that we all need Jesus for our salvation. We also are in different place in our faith. You cannot have any shortcuts to spiritual maturity.
This is your personal decision. You are going to be disappointed with people. We Christians do not go to church because we are good. The church is the hospital for sinners. The church is not a building, it is a community and sometimes you just have to tolerate different personalities.
I have a personal relationship with God. I am lucky I have found the church in non-denominational Christians church where the Bible is the center of the teachings. They lead us to a life changing relationship with God. They are not running a popularity contest, they are teaching what God wants from us. It was not easy to hear that in the beginning.
We do not get saved because we are good or better than everyone else. We get saved only by the mercy and grace of God. And we accept that mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, no one will enter to the Father's house except through Him.

Trouble makers! Did you crack up laughing when you saw that? Jesus said his followers would be known for their love and that the second greatest command was to love our neighbor as ourself. If you really want to see true Christianity, check out Jehovah's Witnesses who don't go to war and who show love for neighbor by sharing hope from the bible with all they can.
