Why does it always seem that Christians judge but don't live by their own guidlines?

Question

I am an atheist. I never preach it or push it on anyone. I have no problem w/ Christianity or any religion. Yet, whenever I read a book like Religion Gone Bad, or where a Marilyn Manson shirt, all the Christian kids peg me a Satanist and give me a bunch of crap. These are the kids i see beating up the chess club and being jockey assholes. And when I don't say Under God in the pledge of allegiance, everyone looks at me like i committed a murder. It wasn't even originally there, it was added in the cold war.

And I did read the bible, when i was still Christian. I've been on both sides, and to tell the truth, the bible is what made me lose my faith. That and the ***** at school telling me that the reason my mom died was because God didn't believe i deserved a mother. I have low self-esteem because of the minority of christians that tell me that crap.

Answer 1

Yup Christians don't have the slightest idea what are true Christian is.

Answer 2

Why are *you* judging *us*? If these kids are beating up the chess club and being jockey a**h***s. they are not acting like any Christians I know!

If you are reading books like Religion Gone Bad, or where(sic) a Marilyn Manson shirt, aren't you just baiting these so-called "Christian" kids? Perhaps you could be more discrete in what you read in front of these kids and do you really *have* to wear that particular shirt? Also, if you just mumbled the Pledge of Allegiance, you could just mumble three *other* syllables, if you cannot bring yourself to say "under God", if you don't want to irritate other kids, during this time when our nation is at war! You would then appear more patriotic, if you otherwise *are* a patriot.

Hey, "goldwing": If you're going to quote scripture, please quote the whole verse! The rest of the verse of which you only quoted part of, is "that ye be not judged likewise." Works for me! Satan, is well-known for taking verses out of context, or quoting only part of a verse, too! It worked for him when he did it to Eve; but it didn't when he tried to do it to Jesus, even after Jesus spent 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness without food!

Oh, BTW, "Patrick M": What makes *you* such an "expert" on what our guidelines are?

Answer 3

I respect your opinion brother, I am a Christian, and I love everyone, even the people that deny me or treat me badly, but I would never deny you as a friend, nor would I say "your stupid for your beliefs" about half of the people I hang around at school are either Atheist or Agnostic, but I don't care, because they are people, and they deserve respect like anyone else does. Sometimes my friends say Christians are dumb, or Faith in God is stupid while I am around, but I just look at them, and they are always depressed, and in an emo type of mood, they are always wearing black, and they don't have any self respect or care for others, but they always seek my time for counseling, I will help hem through there rough times, and now about half of those kids are not Atheist or Agnostic anymore, because they found it better that they would be happier in Faith. I am not telling you or forcing you to do anything, still believe in what you wish too, for you have free will, just try and ask alot of questions, seriously, it will help, or seek guidance from a friend or significant other.

Answer 4

You are now noticing the great divide in Christianity...the religion makes no sense what so ever, is so weak minded that Christians must go to battle with anyone who disagrees with them. They are the first to cast stones, the first to sin, and the first to point fingers at others....some religion..and all this, no matter what they do, is forgiven with no retribution if they mumble some silly verse from their bible before dying...great idea...to be held unaccountable for any and all sins, isn't it? I wish life were so easy. It would seem that Christians, more so than any other religion, love to sin, but hate those who differer from their way of belief...and no two Christians can agree on anything. The Protestants hate the Catholics, the dogmatic condemn all others to hell. They ignore the "Judge not lest ye be judged," for it doesn't fit their momentary agenda. And then there are the nut cases who swear, and can prove by math, that the Earth is but 6000 years old, that man and dynasaur walked Earth at the same time...they are so full of contradictions, they make no sense what so ever..but then again, when did logic or sense enter into anythign relgious? With all of this in mind, they consider anyone who calls them on their lunacy a heritic for pointing out that nothing bears out what they believe.

Answer 5

P. M.,
I´m a Christian and I don´t judge anybody.
Also I try to live by Christ´s guidelines, loving and helping others.
And, the same way I try to help somebody that takes a wrong road, I try to do the same in the spiritual road, because I don´t want anybody to get hurt.
But I do not push my beliefs into others.
Maybe some Christians are judgemental, but not most of the ones I know.

Answer 6

Because the majority of these people are brainwashed hypocrits and religion is just a mass cult that is accepted. Like you pointed out they do some of the most cruelest acts and are the first to cast judgement on someone even though that is the exact opposite of what the book tells them to do. These people are what makes society the crap hole it is today. Belief is great in human nature but to go around shoving it in peoples faces is a load of crap.
Ever see a war started in the name of satan? Sure haven't, millions upon millions of people through the pages of history have lost their lives because they didn't believe in a certain god. How much more close minded can you get?

Answer 7

I have no idea I have asked myself that to. I had a friend that go's to church all the time just about every day of the week. and her husband looks up necked women on the computer says her kids can not have there ears pierced for u should not put holes in your body and u should not mark up your body and all this. well and we was paying payments on a car from them they would not ever get it in our name and they came got it the other day i have a new born baby i half to take out in the hot heat now cause my husbands truck dint have ac. so what i am getting at i guess is how they act man in front of u like they are the best christian Pearson on the earth but behind u they **** on u. sorry this is so long but man u hit something that has Ben bot hing me. lol.

Answer 8

Because the Bible can't be followed collectively, it's a very long story. You have to follow it in order first of all.

Second, they are scared of being wrong just like the Nazis.

Third, They don't read the Bible they just believe what other people say about it.

Answer 9

Despite what Screwdriver says, real Christians do know what Christianity is and what it is all about, Non-believers have no concept of this, nor do they have the ability to.

1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph. 2:8-9, NIV).
"You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace" (Gal. 5:4).
This verse and its context plainly teach that if you believe that you are saved by faith and works then you are not saved at all. This is a common error in the cults. Because they have a false Jesus, they have a false doctrine of salvation. (Read Rom. 3-5 and Gal. 3-5).
you cannot add to the work of God. Gal. 2:21 says, "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" (NIV)
"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin" (Rom. 3:20).
"However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness" (Rom. 4:5).
"Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law" (Gal. 3:21).

Answer 10

Please don't judge all Christians based on one or two people you have met. I am a Christian, and do not Judge anyone based on what they are wearing..... I read the Bible and know what it is to be a Christian. And remember.... there was only 1 perfect person on this Earth, and that was Jesus Christ. Christians are NOT perfect, only forgiven by God, who IS perfect!

Answer 11

Very simple answer because even Christians are sinners. We all fall short of the glory of God and thankfully God took all the pressure off and we don't have to be good to get into heaven. We just have to accept his son Jesus as our savior and admit that we are sinners who need Jesus. What your saying just proves how much we need Jesus! I am a christian and because God said so I am righteous but I still sin. I am trying my hardest not to be a hypocrite and to lead the life Jesus wants me to lead because I love him but I was brought into the world with sin and I will die in sin but because I love Jesus he will forgive me and take me to heaven despite all of my imperfections.
