Would somebody please tell me why Christians think they are the 'society police' of the world?

Question

They complain about Harry Potter, abortion, video games, gays and lesbians, atheists...the list goes on and on. Who the heck put Christians in charge of telling (or enforcing) their beliefs on others? Why aren't they more concerned about their own lives instead of being so concerned about others?

Answer 1

They have 'moral compasses' that guide them in the right direction. Unless you've got jeebuz in yer heart, you can't tell right from wrong.

I've always wondered about it too - that they don't have enough to keep themselves busy without making everyone else miserable by launching holy wars against whatever the latest target of billy graham or pat robertson is.

They need to do exactly what you said, mind their own F**king bizness, and leave everyone else alone.

Answer 2

Good question!

Currently the majority of Americans, especially in rural and southern areas, are Christian.

And every majority has a small group of people who think that being the majority gives them the right to legislate what others should and shouldn't do.

In Islamic countries, some conservatives kill those trying to live more liberally. Most muslims are against such killings.

In America, some conservative Christians try to ban things they feel lead their kids astray. Most Christians are against such censorship.

I could go on, but you get the idea. It's all about the egotism of the few. That's why it's important that we always resist such attempts to suppress our freedoms, especially by those who claim they represent us. As a Christian, I try to always voice my disapproval when other Christians are intolerant. That's what Jesus would do!

Answer 3

I'm a Christian and I say do what you want. In the end only an individual is accountable for the choices they've made. I do believe that doing things God's way will make for a happier life now and after death. God bless you.

Answer 4

Agree. Christians can be hipocrits. They should concentrate on lving their own lives sin free.

That said, not all Christians are like that. It is only the ultra-conservative right-wing religious zelouts that give Christians overall a bad name.

Let he who is without sin be the first to cast a stone. You will see that most people will not then cast stones.

Answer 5

Actually, liberals complain more about video games than most Christians. Take Hillary Clinton for example (of course she is Christian as well.)

Now who would give a thumbs down to this answer? Have you not heard of the "Violent Video Games Act?" Look it up!

Answer 6

I have enough trouble policing myself and my family.
I'm not interested in policing the rest of the world, thanks.
And BTW, I've read all the Harry Potter books.

Answer 7

Hahahhaha, funny question, I'm Christian and I try not to complain too much, Harry Potter you could call me if you want, we are here to fight evil as he does fight Voldemort. Abortion is really evil as it is killing your own child. Death and destruction and evil, you know what it is already as you are a person and have a conscience, follow it and do good and avoid evil.

Answer 8

Just how does some one talking force you to do a thing?
We all have the freedom of speech. Just because you do not like it does not say it should be taken away.

Answer 9

Wonderful question! And they constantly wonder why they are so disliked. LOL, this is exactly why.

Those in power have a lot to do with it since there is no better way to control the masses.

Answer 10

For God said go out and be the light to the world. We are simply following directions.
