Are Christians nice people?

Question

I just got in touch with a Christian person and she won't talk to me ever since I told her I'm not a Christian......she kind of shrugged me off.

Answer 1

I AM.

Answer 2

Some are, some aren't unfortunately.

Are you sure that's the only reason she never talked to you since then?

It's possible this Christian person "might" be practicing Ephesians 5:11 in literal context. (Remember, a Christian believes anything/anyone not FOR God is AGAINST God...see Matthew 12:30 and then decide which category your aquaintance may view you as part of...)

I cannot speak for another Christian, but maybe you should ask her. She's the only one who could give you insight into your question.

Answer 3

Most Christians are nice people. But Christians are people just like anyone else some are nice some are not. Hitler was a Christian a fact I am not proud to admit. There are good Christians and bad Christians We can only pray for the bad ones. God Bless

Answer 4

Lots of people are nice people, lots are not.

Plenty of Christians are real jerks, plenty of other people are jerks.

To be a true Christian is not easy at all, it is a struggle and a battle because we are fighting our very own nature that is "emnity" with God, but we try to depend on Him to change our nature, and create a new God centered nature that can do no wrong, we stumble and fall often as anyone else, except a true one will face even more "opposition" in trying to become what God wants them to be.

Who ever offended you, Christian or otherwise, are just people who make mistakes, just like the bible says we all will do, Christian or not.

A Christian should, must, forgive others.

Answer 5

Basically Christianity, aside from its aspects of worship, gives a set of morals and values by which people can abide. This 'Christian' either:

Thinks that you might not adhere to the same morals, and so conversing with you might corrupt her own morals.

Is simply not happy to be with people she regards as unfamiliar, i.e. non-Christians.

Has had her parents tell her that she shouldn't associate herself with non-Christians, and she has never questioned this logic.

Or something similar.

All of these reasons however, stem from a lack of openminded-ness on her part. You seem like a very friendly and normal person, so it seems like she is showing a form of mild prejudice.

However, this prejudice does not inherently stem from her being a Christian. In every faith and race, any definable group of humans, there will be people who prefer to be isolated to their 'group', i.e. not just Christians do this.

Most Christians that I've met are very nice, although they are only openly friendly to fellow Christians, or agnostics (those who are undecided on the existence of God). However, they are more socially withdrawn when talking to people of other faiths, noticeably those who follow either Judaism, or even more so, Islam.

Answer 6

Some are very nice.
I am a devout Christian and sometimes an extremely bad example of how a Christian should conduct himself, (and I have alot of witnesses) other times a very good example of how a Christian should conduct himself.
But I have met some people that claim to be Christians that I do not want to associate myself with at all.
Jesus Christ is was and always will be perfect and holy. People on the other hand are all sinful and broken by nature.
We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
When I get really judgmental about anything God usually puts someone like myself in my path to show me how ugly I am behaving, and He reminds me He came not to judge the world but to save it and He never converted or changed anyone by telling them how messed up they were, but He loved them where they were and told them the truth about themselves and showed them the error of there ways, told them go and sin no more, and left it at that.

Answer 7

Well... some of them can be very nice.

I work with some Christians but they respect other people's beliefs. That's rare though, I have to say.

Many fanatics give Christians a bad name because they shrug other people off like it hapenned to you.

It's just ignorance. Also lack of confidence. If they were so sure deep down that their faith was the correct one, they wouldn;t have to be so insecure about it and they would respect other people even if they have different views than theirs.

Incidentally, my name is Christian, but I'm agnostic.

Just for the record.

Answer 8

Some are, some aren't just like every other type/group of people in the world. I've met some who are the nicest people in the world, like my grandmother, and some of my closest friends. I'm not Christian, and they don't care (at least not openly or meanly). Some of the people I know who are Christian are not nice, like the girl who says if you aren't Christian then you're going straight to the devil. But I've also met bad people who are not Christian, or religious. It really doesn't matter. Some people, like this girl, it would seem, are just not nice all the way through.

Answer 9

Any person can be good or bad....yes christians are looked upon as perfect individuals...but we're humans too we make mistakes but we ask forgiveness. Maybe she didnt shrug u off shes just afraid u wont like her. I'm sure she didnt mean to make it seem like it was because u were a non-christian I mean sometimes i don't talk to people christian or not because i don't truly know them to well.

Answer 10

Your friend has a real non-christian attitude. Christianity talks to you about being nice to people, loving even your enemies and blessings those who curse you. Although as a Christian, you shouldn't worship idols or anything of that sort personally, you should never stop talking to a friend or demoralize her just because she's not a christian. In fact, Christians shouldn't hesitate to help those who are in need, no matter who they are or where they're from.

Christianity is about "Loving your neighbor as you love yourself", and I think your friend doesn't know about that.

If your friend has a bad attitude, stay away from her. I hope she learns what her religion is all about.

Answer 11

My ex-favorite cuzin Anthony turned all religious on me.
He told me I wuz going 2 hell because I chose to live a Buddhist lifestyle.
He said that all other people in the world that aren't Christians are going to hell 2.
My neighbor is very very religous as well.
But she's the nicest woman ever.
The wife of my dad's business partner is very religous as well.
She's a jerk ... hate her completely.
She's quite mean and rediculously distant. Her conversations alwas end up being about God's goodness ....

So, some are nice..... but most of them are pretty distant and look down at the non religious and non christian ...
