Christians herd themselves like sheep to a building their jobs paid for to give the owners of the church even more of their hard earned money and then they sing and rejoice about it!
Non-Christians .... don't.

Christians are just ordinary people who are 'saved by Grace.' ....meaning they have hangups, shortcomings and problems like anyone else. The problem occurs when people forget they are 'saved by grace' - and they begin to think they've done something to earn/deserve the relationship they have with God.
God gives Christians guidelines in the Bible concerning how to live. Some people are slow at changing from the old ways...and doing things God's way.
It is wrong for Christians to act like they are better because frankly, it just is not true. God loves each person THE SAME, and we are to respect and love one another. On many levels, the church on a whole, fails miserably.

The difference, Old things are pass away, behold all things become new. Christians strive to keep away from their old past while non-christians continue that path.
But I know of many non-christians who behave like a christian. Their only problem is they did not accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Christians, in terms of behavior, choose to lead a life according to Christ...to change their behavior for the better.but of course..we all fall short..why? because no one is perfect...
non-christians just choose to live and behave the way they want to..that's it!

The behavior difference between Christians and non-Christians is significant. Those who are true "Christians" attempt to obey the living word of God, the Holy Bible, and it isn't a chore to live and be in obedience to God's Word. Non-Christians feel living for God isn't essential. They believe in enjoying life to it's fullest without regard to what our Heavenly Father says or instructs us on how to live. A lot don't practice morals, feel it's okay to lie, cheat, steal, etc. And truly live for no one but them self. Living for God means putting Him first! Always. The word of God says, But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)

To my experience, not much. The good ones on either side are good. The bad ones tend to differ in how they are bad however. Sadly bad christians are often self-deceived and think that are justified by god in what they do, which is more disagreeable than those who are just bad.

true christians have proper behavior.Even though they're not perfect they know how to treat others without putting a false front on. Some non christians are not polite & do not care about christians feelings. Some people with the Christian label are also rude, crude, & you can tell the difference. then there is the opposite side, you have some non christians looking & behaving as Christ would want them to,btu they donot follow him, or claim to be chrisitan. It all depends on the person.

christians tend to be hypocritical and self righteous in their beliefs, as opposed to non-christians or athiest/agnostics who tend to keep that part of their life private until they are approached. Christian fanatics will invalidate any belief that does not run parallel to their narrow doctrine. They will also invalidate you as a human being and shut you out of their lives if you do not share the same beliefs as them. non-christians tend to be more universally accepting.

1) I don't have to get up on Saturday morning to be the uninvited guest of people trying to sleep.
2) I don't judge people if they are kind to me, whether I think they are full of it in the religious department or not.
3) People will say that Christians have more morals but this is not so. They are just as likely to make mistakes as anyone else. There are enough adulterers and child molesters who are Christian to prove that. The only difference is when they screw up, God forgives. When I screw up, I hurt people- sometimes people I care about. I only get one go at this life- so I'd like to make it as productive and happy as possible.

This depends on how serious the Christians are. Most devout Christians practice some form of corporal mortification, by which we detach ourselves from a desire for personal comfort--which puts us in a better position to service God and our neighbor.
