These people arent true Christians. I am a strong christian whom doesnt do that stuff, nor would ever. Everybody in different religions are rude. If you say that ur religion is all nice ppl, that is hyprocrisy.
What are your thoughts Christians...would you ever lash out on a nonchristian, and say hateful things?

You say all religions are rude. I say that is SOME people of all religions are rude.
Too me being a Christian is about growing closer to God and that is not a journey but a destination. Some people are not as far on that journey as others. (Lord Knows I do have moments where I am not as far along on that journey as I would like.!) The wonderful thing is Jesus always provides a lesson to help us move on. Reality is as some of begin to think our choice to be a Christian gives us the right to judge others. God generally finds a way to show us a different way.
The old saying is so true. You attract more bees with honey than you do with vinegar. I think that trying to model the loving, forgiving nature of Jesus (and I emphasize the word Try) is much more useful than condemening and judging those we believe are not far enough along in ther struggle to get closer to God. I say again, its a journey not a destination.
God bless

I've gotten my fair share of hate mail from atheists, just as they've gotten their share from other Christians. I don't like getting blasted by someone else for my beliefs, so I don't do it to others, especially not in an email. I can be pretty forceful when the situation warrants, but being verbally abusive is over the top and unacceptable.
If I have something to say to you, I'll say it publically so that everyone can see it. That way, there won't be any doubt as to what was said or done. And that's why my email is closed now: nobody can say one thing privately to me while pretending to be something else in public.

I wish more people were like that, because this hatred that these people comes out in multiple places, not just Answers, or even the Internet in general. The world could use more people who are firm in their belief, but accepting of opposing viewpoints.
As a non-Christian, I have lashed out on people claiming to be Christian, and people who've never made the claim - Bigotry is bigotry, no matter which group the bigot claims to belong to, whether it be Christians, Atheists, Muslims, or even Buddhists (I've never seen a bigoted Buddhist, but I'm sure they exist).

I kinda addressed this earlier when an atheist asked if a christian could teach him something new (as in new to his knowledge) about our religion but not to expect to convert him and most of these "Christians" replied with you made your choice its pointless or it seems like a waste of time etc. They were very rude. Its no wonder atheists and other religions feel the way they do about us. I just hope that everyone realizes that there are good christians!

The Bible calls us to speak truth in love "lashing out at and speakinghateful things are not signs of being a Christian and it is by our fruit we shall be known.

I am a Christian and have learned that there are wolves in sheeps clothing on this site. I had one guy who puts out that he is a Christian, who picked me as best answer for one of his questions. He then sent me an e-mail which was sick and cruel and definitely not Christian. I mean really cruel. My husband died not long ago and he told me he was glad and that he hated Christian marriages. I have worded it mildly in comparison to what he said. The next question he posted, he talked of himself being like a baby lamb with God!

Religion doesn't define a person. If somebody needs lashed out at, I'm probably going to be the first to open up my big mouth.

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

I wouldn't lash out. This is the quickest way to turn someone off to the Christian faith. As we are to Live what we "preach". Our actions speak louder than words.
