Answer 1

Fear and Doubt.

Answer 2

Hi.

I am not angry, and I don't try to scare people into believing in God. I tell them the truth (according to God's word in the Bible), which is all I can do. However, part of that truth is about the future of unsaved humanity, and that judgement will be final.

So I care, because I believe in 'do unto others as I would like them to do unto me' (which is why I am not angry). I care because someone told me about Jesus and what he did for the human race, and I realize what will be in store for those who choose to decline, ignore, or reject Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Of course, many people want to argue, and bait those who are trying to tell them about Christ. This could make some of those people angry, especially if they encounter such behavior repeatedly, or are made fun of being a Christian.

Now there are many people whose methods of telling a person or people about the gospel are a little more intense than my own, and others like me. I present the truth, then leave a person to do with that truth what he will. Many peole are a bit more gung-ho in their methods, and many are argumentative.

I always thought that the people who were angry became that way after encountering quite a bit of negativity and insensitivity. But I can't be certain. There are many other reasons for a Christian being negative, or angry.

I am sorry if someone's attitude has affected your impression of Christians. I assure you, everyone is not like that. Although, almost all of us have our struggles with being Christ-like 24/7.

You asked why is everyone so mad all of the time? I don't have an answer for that. The reasons are as various as the people in the world.

It would be nice if people would actually try to see if there is some merit in the gospel and try to discover the truth before dismissing Christianity without a second thought. But no one can do this for them. Or even you. Many detractors have never even cracked a Bible, or asked God to show that he is real. Not ask for proof, he won't do that. But to give him a chance to work in your life, and do something in an are of your life that you would recognize.

My concern is for those people depart this life, without hearing the truth. People at least need to be told of Christ's sacrifice. My concern is also for those who change their mind, and don't know what to do or have no one to talk to about their change of heart. Whether a person appreciates my concern or acts on what they hear is their choice.

God bless you.
Hope I helped.

Answer 3

I hope that Christians aren't "mocking" you or getting angry at you are trying to scare others into believing. That's not the loving way of Christ. Christ's way is ask his followers to reach out to others in love!

I care if you believe in God because I want you to know Him. I think He's the best and only reason for living and the only thing worth living our lives for.

Of course, its your own life. But we believe we have a key to the only answer in life. We want you to know it. So we'll try to convince you that its true.

By the way...I'm only mad ocassionally, not all the time. :)

Answer 4

I don't care. It's when people like you who do believe try to force their ways into everyone else's lives. Placing their ancient relics on city property, trying to force prayer in school, and teach ridiculous things such as creationism.

You want to believe what you believe that's fine with me, but so long as you respect my beliefs and don't try to make yours the only "right" beliefs there are.

I'm not angry all the time, but i am delightfully mad. It is the only way to stay sane in this world.

Answer 5

If you believe in Jesus, there's nothing for you to worry about. But you should be worried about the salvation of others. That is why followers of Christ will question your salvation and your relationship with Jesus. As Jesus commissioned all believers in Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV), we are to...

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Sometimes people get angry, because they do not understand the true concept of God, which is life with peace not life with confusion and hatred. The only thing you can do is offer it to them. The choice to accept is up to them.

Jesus said in John 14:6 that "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Ministering to people about Jesus should never include fear, and if you were made afraid, I apologize hear and now on the behalf of all the true believers of Christ. But I want you to truly consider your salvation and know that Jesus is Lord. The choice is yours. Will you follow him?


Romans 10:9-13 (New American Standard Bible)

9. (A) if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and (B)believe in your heart that (C)God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

Answer 6

What a disappointment if you think people mock you if you don't believe in God, or try to scare you into believing in God. Now really, is that so?

A Christian believes in eternal life. We also believe, as the bible teaches, that each person has a choice to make. If we confess our sins, God will forgive us. He sent His son to the cross to pay for our sins. But I also believe that without faith in Christ, people will not enter heaven when they die. So I desire to lay before people the choice, about heaven or hell, eternal life or eternity without God. And it all depends on who you say Jesus is.

Not meant to mock and not meant to scare. It's meant to educate you to the gospel message, which is that Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Like anyone, you have a choice to believe or reject the message.

Answer 7

Christians sincerely care about those who don't believe, as well as those who do. I don't want to see anyone go to hell, and I also want them to know the love and goodness of God in this life. I don't mock them or try to scare them, but I do share the gospel message of Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

I care that you're happy with the path that you're on. If that includes a belief in a god then that's good, if not that's okay too.

In my view, everyone is different so their faith is going to be different too. This is one of the issues I have with organized religion of any flavor - it's making people's faiths comfirm to their rules rather than letting the faith dictate the rules.

Answer 9

Its been said that when a man's business is worth minding he'll keep his nose out of everyone else's. If people who don't believe, yet denigrate you for doing so, know for certain they're nervous about something. After all, it's a common maxim that people persecute that which they fear and can't understand because of their own self-induced blindness. Or somebody else's.

Answer 10

I support your right to believe whatever you wish and to worship or not worship as your conscience dictates. I just want to feel certain that everyone will get to enjoy those same rights. As long as you're not trying to push your faith on me, I have no reason to be angry with you.

Answer 11

I think that most people do not care whether or not you believe in God.
