Why is it that people that aren't christian tend to watch our every move just waiting for us to do something wrong or sin? Then totally going crazy and judging us for it? Why don't people understand that just because we are christians doesn't mean that we don't mess up, don't sin (every one tries not to), and we don't have struggles and problems of our own just as much as they do and then thinks we are hypocrits when this stuff happens?

And I never point fingers, I never tell and never had told anyone that I am right and they are wrong, or that they were going to hell. In my life I try to treat everyone equally. Christian or not. And the people around me still tend to just wait for me to fall.

You and I live in a fallen world my friend. We are surrounded by people who love to see us fail. I understand your frustration with this world. The world watches our every move because they find it amusing to see a servant of the one true God suffer. Im giving you my email address, if you ever need to speak about spiritual matters, please don't hesitate to email me. Your brother in Christ,

Maybe because Christians tend to judge those who are not Christians determining they are going to hell, when in fact not even Christians do know who is going to hell.
Maybe because Christians call themselves saved, but they are not saved from their own intolerance and judgment.
Maybe because Christians can be arrogant when they act as if they are the only ones who know the truth.
Maybe because Christians point fingers so much that other people don't miss the opportunity to do the same when you guys fail or yield to temptation.
Maybe because Christians never say "I may not agree with you but I respect your point of view" and end the conversation right there.
Maybe because that's the way we all show you Christians how equal we all are, and maybe that's what God wants you Christians to see, by allowing those things to happen
Peace!

First of all, how do you know you are being judged for being a Christian and not for making a mistake? People are watching your every move because they don't have a life, not because of your belief system. Life for a Christian may be harder than others, but that was presented to you in the Bible. You have a choice. Make it. What is stronger, popular belief or your faith?

Because they are hypocrits, they want you to live a perfect life doing no bad, while they can do what ever the heck they want because they think there are no consequences for their actions(totally wrong). Its because they despise Christians and so whenever they see you doing something wrong they use that to discount all christianity and when they see you struggling they say so wheres your God now. Just ignore them they arent nice. Ans I also heve very good friends that heva very different views than myself and we get along fine. Don't pull your hair out over this, :)

It IS hypocrisy, but the idea behind Christianity, at least, is to love others and work towards a sinful life, even if you know you won't reach it. When people are blind to their own hypocrisy, flaunt it about, don't care about it, or judge others despite their own faults, they should only expect to be ridiculed. In this case, you get what you dish out.

Being A Christian Is Not Easy

Most likely this is caused by the very small minority of Christians who feel the need to go out and bang everyone they see over the head with a bible.
I have seen many of these people and frankly they do more to hurt the Christian religion then to help it.

People who do not have Faith tend to watch and wait for those moments when we slip up because they want to feel better about themselves.Misery loves company and sinners love sin so its just a way to sat to themselves " see I am not going to hel&...Look at them.If they can do it so can I "
Makes them less afraid of not believing.

Christians sort of set themselves up for it by having the attitude of "we're going to heaven and if you don't believe the same things we do you're going to hell." So that ends up sounding like we think we're superior, rather than fellow travelers on the journey.

Jesus tells us that since the world hated Him, they will hate us.
Just keep shining your light for Jesus. When the going gets tough people warm up to the idea of God. Be there to pray for those who are unbelievers in their times of need.
Keep your eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of your faith.

Christians have a long history of persecuting other religions, destorying pre-existing cultures, ostracizing homosexuals, judging nonconformists, forceably assimilating others through either presistant annoyance or even bodily harm, and more.
A lot of people have been personally hurt by these extremely offensive and judgemental behaviors so in return they lash back out at Christians. Basically, you reap what you sow. (To quote the bible.)
