when an anti Chrisitan person is rude, how about we click on their picture and answer their questions the same way. I know this is not Biblical but maybe it will make them go away ?????

I have run out of cheeks to turn and jesus did not turn the other cheek when He over turned the tables of the bad tax collectors and was very angry with the behavior.

Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
God's Wrath Against Mankind
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Hmmm, I don't think Jesus overturned the tables just to make people mad, and after reading the Gospels closely, I'm not even sure he was all that mad. The temple had animal salesman for a long time, and Jesus didn't do anything until right before he was arrested. I think that Jesus knew it was his time, and he overturned the tables not only to bring glory to his father but to incite the religious leaders to arrest him.
Love is the only way we as Christians will win over the world. I recommend that you always be respectful to those with different views, and they're more likely to listen to you. Also, if you insult them in retaliation, you're sinking to their level. Jesus never got into silly arguments, even when he was blatantly criticized. Instead, he stayed calm and used logic to win people over. It will not make them go away or stop, it will only encourage them to continue being rude and also give them an excuse. Finally, it won't help the shoddy image Christianity has to the world. So many people believe that we are ignorant and pompous based on the hotheaded actions of a few, and being rude will only continue this cycle of distrust and insults.

Rudness is not needed. Perhaps you're fustrated with rude people, and that has caused you to post this question. But whatever the reason, why let them get to you? The great thing about this site is that you don't have to respond to a question, and if you are at the 2nd level, you can give them a thumbs down and hope others will do the same. It takes all kinds to make the world go round.

I thought Christians were supposed to turn the other cheek? Your not going to solve your problems by being rude to those who are rude to you.

Have you tried praying for your enemies? This is one of the most overlooked qualities that Jesus had that Christians forget about.

It sounds like you are a fake Christian...
Good thing you didn't live in the middle ages or during the inquisition--you'd have denied your faith in seconds if tortured.
