Is it possible that when I get annoyed at someone making a judgement on my life (which they know nothing about) that I am NOT convicted by the Holy Spirit, but irked by someone having the gall to say horrible things "in the name of God"?

Your question is difficult. The correct answer however, is grrrrrr

Those who usually make judgments about our lives are christians. And christians don't believe that we have any thoughts of our own ... either its the holy spirit leading us or convicting us, or its the devil trying to tempt us into doing evil. They wouldn't think that we might have emotions and feelings all on our own ... that the pissed off feeling that you get actually comes from YOU, not from an imaginary source floating around your head somewhere.

This is possible. As a believer what gets on my nerves more than anything is fellow believers attacking people and saying malicious things to them in the name of God. As Christians what we should be known for is love not hate. Unfortunately, there are some who do not take this position. I hope this helps.

Good point.
After all, the "holy spirit" is an imaginary fabrication. Just another part of a triune god worshipped by gullible sheep.
Try not to let it bug you.

I don't know enough about other religions to say anything, but Christians certainly get the meaning of the terms 'hate' and 'anger' confused...

my beliefs are mine and mine alone
I never claim to speak for God
My faith in God has influenced some of my beliefs
As I continue to grow in my faith, I hope that other beliefs that I have may be influenced as well
I am not the man I want to be, but I'm working on it.

You are so right. We should not be mean to anyone in the name of God. : )
It would be nicer to give a reason for the hope they have in Christ, but we should indeed try to not to insult each other.
We are in different maturity level with our faith issues. : )

Or perhaps it is God hardening your heart like he did to the Pharaoh and others.

Pissed...I agree but then I feel deep compassion for these poor deluded people and move on with my life.

I must concur with Cpt. Darwin.
Anything else would be illogical.
