Why do Christians respond with anger?

Question

Christians tend to respond to legitimate questions with nothing but hatred and whimsical passion. It is inexplicible behavior when you consider the normal course of conversations in society.
Is it part of their religion?

Answer 1

They are angry because they cannot answer the main questions adequately and in a manner that anyone but them can benefit from.

Answer 2

They shouldn't, really.

But sometimes we do because we know that you already know the answer and you are just asking that question to make us look like monkeys, especially if you are an atheist or evolutionists. You give us the impression that we are still at the monkey stage and that you have evolved at least 70 000 years in advance of us.

And yes, I know that you will think that I don't know anything about evolution since I used the word 'monkey'. Would 'common ancestor' be more acceptable?

Does my answer prove your point? Does the above demonstrate anger, hatred or whimsical passion?

Answer 3

Hi Happy Sabbath. Some people (of any background) often respond to questions by using anger. Somewhere at some point people were taught this meant winning and control. I thank God for His teaching me that this behavior means losing and lack of control. Yes, there are times to be angry, but we're to "...be angry, but not sin...". Yeah, that's hard to do, but...
Also, please don't broad brush everybody. People who behave that way are embarrassing. They make the rest of Christians look bad. No wonder people have problems with Christians based on the actions of a few zealots. Take care.

Answer 4

Which is it. Anger. Hatred. Or whimsical passion. And which Christians. Your generalization only adds to the problem.

Answer 5

No. It's a direct contradiction.
I am a believer and I try to live out my faith as honestly as possible. What makes me angry is when I listen to someone completely, but they don't listen to me. I'm not sure if it is anger or frusteration. I also get frustrated when I get stereotyped because of my faith. Unless someone sees my life every day..they have no right to judge me, and I have no right to judge them. I don't get angry though....
I think it's hard for some people to separate their personalities and their faith. I also think many people don't study what they believe...they take what they hear from the pulpit...repeat it...then when it is questioned, they get defensive instead of searching for the answer. Legitimate questions fuel me to dig deeper into the roots of my faith to find a real answer.

Answer 6

The majority of christians have no answer to most questions posed them. They rely on blind faith alone. Its not sufficient enough an answer when they state 'christ said...god said....' Sadly hard evidence isnt what this religion is about just plain old myths, legends and chinese whispers :)

Answer 7

is idoiocy part of atheism? oops! sounded a little angry.

but hatred of people is not part of Christ's message nor will. and plus, you'll notice a lot of the questions posted on here are anti-Christian, so don't we have a right to get angry?

anger is not a sin, as even God gets angry when wickedness is present. taking anger over-the-top is a sin. when you kill out of anger, harm someone out of anger, etc....then you're sinning. but if my patience is running thin, I can blow off some steam...or lava, which ever comes out of my ears. (metaphor!).

Answer 8

Legitimate questions like this one? This question is nothing to respond angrily to. I am a Catholic Christian and I find nothing wrong with this question other than I disagree.

Answer 9

Well I'm sure you will anger some Christians with this question by generalizing.

Answer 10

They get angry because the question pointed out a flaw in their belief system.
