If we Christians are living a lie, why are others so intrigued by it all?

Question

Some very provocative and interesting answers! It'll be hard to choose one

Answer 1

Intrigued isn't the right word. Disgusted is more like it! We don't the violent history behind your beliefs. We are appauled by all lost history and culture your people have distroyed throughout the world. And we'd like to see it end.
Humanitarian efforts are NOT exchanging food for someone to give up their indiguous beliefs. Give them food and help, and take from them a lesson in their culture and spirituality!
Diversity is what makes all of us so special! ; )

Answer 2

It's not that we're intrigued. It's more like we're annoyed. Annoyed because, unlike US, you are out to force the rest of us to accept your Faith as if it were the ONLY way to live. NO other Religion places SUCH an emphasis upon "Evangelizing" others as does Christianity. And outside of Islam and Judaism no other religion attempts to force it's OWN narrow view of morality on everyone else by FORCE of law. There are national "holidays" based on the Christian Calender (Christmas and Easter), Whole sectors of businesses are not allowed by law to open on Sundays or part of Sundays,. and so-called SIN-taxes are placed on certain items deemed "unacceptable" by Christians. When YOU stop forcing your narrow "sense of morality" down our throats, perhaps OUR interest in your Hypocrisy's will diminish.

Because God tells us HE gave us all a measure of faith , so that we would want to inquire and know more. ANd he left a little hold in us that would feel empty in us till we put Jesus there. PPL down deep do know , but many dont want to know, dont want to change or give up the sin they live in. Yet, often there is a curiosity, even if it is the absolute need to mock us. I was cussed out once by a relative when I said I had pryaed for them, said they didnt need my prayers. Well if they think it is all nonsenes, why arent they glad someone cared and just prayed, even if they think it is silly? why all the anger, and need to mock and hate? Its cuz they do see in us something they want and know they need, and dont want it. talk about causing a bunch of contrary emotions going on inside. This is the battle of spiritual warefare over each of us We can give in and go to Jesus or we can battle it and stay belongint the devil.its all choice.
But you will note when most are facing death, they do say Just in case you are real God, forgive me. Why do that, when they KNOW there is nothing to nay of this? They do know.
Lets pray they all become ready to receive before its too late.

Answer 4

For one thing, Christians attempt to force their religion on those others - and before you say that's not true, if you are not doing so, then you are not following the Bible's admonition to go and preach the gospel to all the world.

Fundamentalists try to have Biblical theology taught to our children in our public schools, rather than real science.

Fundamentalists try to force their own beliefs and morals on everyone, Christian or not, through legislation, attempting to change our Constitution, and attacking "activist" judges who rule against unconstitutional laws that they want to have enforced.

Honestly, it's kind of hard not to be interested in Christianity, just as it was hard for the French not to be interested in the Nazi party after they invaded France.

Answer 5

I can't speak for others concerning whether they are intrigued
by it all or not.

I can speak for myself on this issue.
I don't believe you are living a lie.
I do believe that Christians are veiled from the truth, through
the clergy that call themselves Christian leaders.
Jesus would scoff at some of there teachings.
The Christian clergy should teach there flocks "how to think" not "what to think"!
Jesus shall return as promised, this is a certainty, and when this happens their will be gnashing of teeth within the Christian community regarding the leadership that led so many astray!

May God forgive the Christian clergy that are aware of the truth, that they so conceal..................

Answer 6

Think Philistines and Jews.

Genesis 26:15
So all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.

Judges 16:5
The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, "See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels [that is, about 28 pounds or about 13 kilograms] of silver."

Answer 7

If you are living a lie, then I'm facinated by the psycholocial and social implications of it all. But it hasn't been proven a lie, and I am facinated by the arguments for your religion. There have been a lot of great minds that have pondered Christianity.

Answer 8

Utterly hard to believe people fall for this crap...Because the Bible said so Na Na Na....If you would look at the facts ma mm, you would see the contradictions of the man- written Bible..And if you studied history, you would find yourselves coming up short..again and again...Why? Because most of us were once Christian and really saw the light!!!!

Answer 9

I don't think others (I am assuming by others you mean atheists) are necessarily intrigued with Christianity.

Christianity is often forced upon them, and religious people tend not to be as tolerant of atheism as they would be of another type of religion or sect.

Answer 10

Great question- I have wondered this too- if there is something I am sure is a lie- I would not keep asking questions- I would be sure and go about my life doing something else- I know no other subject that more people are intrigued with when they are SO sure it is wrong- I am glad that there is a God who loves us enough to save us through His son- aren't you. One day I pray those who say it is a lie will find it to be truth, before it is too late,
