What is the most repulsive thing that christians do to drive away non-christians? Not their beliefs, their actions?

They have a confrontational worldview that pretty much implies - I have all the answers, you do not.
As well as that, when christians try and spread the message that ''god is cool'' ''jesus is hap'nin!'' it falls flat on its face because it tries to blend christianity and pop-culture which shouldn't really happen.

Some christians but not all have the tendancy to have hipoctitical ways in their walk with God. They will tell someone not to do something, while they are doing it theirself. I am a devoted-christian, but I have seen this among church members. Also, those who act like the church is just a place to give tithes, or pay offerings, or do business this may drive away a non-believer as well. It is a sad situation. Believe it or not, there are 100% devoted christians in the world that do exactly what the bible says, but so many others just play games. Not realizing the impact on so many other lives. Thank you.

Well the most repulsive thing to do would be to hate that person, for that would be against my, and their religion, for it says in the bible to Love everyone as brothers, and sisters
"We Love, because God first Loved us"
"God Loved so loved the world that he gave us his only begotten son"
1 John 4:7-21
Any Christian who denies a person for what they believe, or for whom they are is repulsive, and it shows, what type of character they have also, they might just be mean people.
But I treat every non-Christian as you say, with respect, and Love, and many of them are my friends.

Im sorry that you had to deal with any thing like that. A true Christian would be refreshing. Jesus said: (Matthew 11:28-30) Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. 29Â Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls. 30Â For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.”
Even Ghandi stated that if people were more like Jesus the world would be a better place. Jesus foretold this hate for Christianty would happen: (Acts 20:29-30) I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among YOU and will not treat the flock with tenderness, 30Â and from among YOU yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.
So I can understand where u r coming from, I used to feel the same exact way.

Push!
I am a person of faith, but I do not belong to any Church because they pushed me away.
it was the words they use, and how they say one thing but live an entirely different life, and then of course the segregation, and the thought that they are better.
you asked for some thing they do, but it isn't only what they do, it is also what they say. for me it was the words they choose to use.
I use to love Christians, but to be perfectly honest I can not stand a single one of them. I LOVE God, I LOVE the bible, but I really can not stand Religion.

Killing them is quite repulsive. Think of the crusades, the inquisition, the colonial era, Lebanon, etc.

The unsaved people I talk to seem to think "most Christians" are hypocritical and judgmental of others.

Preach at bus stops, ferry terminals, and train stations. They think they've got a captive audience until I tell them to shut the hell up.

Their stubborn and arrogant take on the superiority of their own religion and next to nothingness of other's.
