Answer 1

I do not judge anyone because of their religion, race, etc, I believe we are all equal and all have different faith that we follow.

I try to learn as much as I can about other religions, I am curious as to why they believe what they believe, I find it interesting, this helps me be more accepting of where they are coming from.

I never try to sway anyone to my way of thinking, I keep my religion as a personal issue, is someone asks, I am more than ready to share with them.

Thanks for your question.

Answer 2

I respect other people because even non-Christians are loved by God, and therefore should be loved by Christians also. I can't agree with someone following another religion but I can try to show them (in a NON-pushy way) that Christianity isn't like a lot of people think it is. I see so many misconceptions on here about Christianity that if I were to try to correct them all, I'd never finish.
I believe that Christianity is the truth with all my heart, and because I care about others, I want them to see that truth as well. I don't try to push people into it, but I will try to win someone over for God, because that's what Christians are commanded to do.
Some people think that God sends people to hell but that's not true. If you deny Him long enough, He'll give you what you want and on the day of judgment even if you change your mind (and lots will), it will be too late. Some say that's unfair, but we get so many chances I'm surprised He doesn't just smite the lot of us and start over.
If you don't want to be saved you won't be. I just hope you know what that decision means.

i do no longer locate it confusing in any respect. i'm a christian and that i comprehend peoples ideals I dont care if somebody is atheist, islamic, etc. There are people in this international no longer in basic terms christians that dont comprehend everybody elses ideals it is annoying and disrespectful by using fact once you look at it we never understand what incredibly is sweet and what isn't. No to you athiests examining this you do no longer incredibly understand that the enormous bang befell and we developed from monkeys yet while thats what you have self assurance i will comprehend that.

Maybe your talking about the baptists and fanataticals you have in the south of USA. Like the Jimmy Swaggarts, and all those money hungry so called bible pushing loving pretend that Jesus saves, those people, sure they would make anyone turn away from Christianity.
Those are the people that will for sure try to buy you make you believe they are holy while living in their 40million dollar mansions.
There are so many of them like Jimmy and Tammy Faye, so called 'believers' ya give me a break.
Talk real their are some amazing Christians out there that try not to buy into TV Evangelists.

Answer 5

For some (such as extreme hardcore Fundamentalists), it might be difficult. But it never really has been for me. I'm a Christian, but it's easy enough to understand that not everybody else is. Most of my friends are not Christian. I've always enjoyed learning about their beliefs (or non-beliefs), and would rather keep learning from them than antagonizing them. There's no sense in shutting out other people's experiences, advice, beliefs, and viewpoints just because they don't happen to match my own.

Answer 6

Do you know what it's like when you place a rogue elephant into a corner, and they have no place to go other than charge you?
In this situation the elephant is in the state of "Must", and they will trample anyone or anything in their path.
Some people have left themselves no escape route. Does this sound familiar?

Answer 7

I will leave those alone who want me to. Would I be loving them if I just agreed that any way to God is OK? No. God tells us in His written Word that Jesus Christ, is His Word in the flesh and that the only way to Him is through Jesus.

If God went to all of the trouble to come down from Heaven in the form of the man Jesus to die as our sacrifice for our sins then, I would be disrespecting God to ignore this act of love forgiveness and grace that He has for us.

Answer 8

Imagine for a moment you are a Christian. You truly believe Christ is the only way. Any who does not follow Christ is doomed to suffer for eternity. If you believe this how can you respect any religion that would lead people to Hell.

I am a Christian. I do believe it is the only way. I would not intentionally disrespect any religion but I also am not going to say fine go your way and go to Hell. If however I try to talk to you about Christ and you do not wish to I will leave you alone. I will also not tell someone they are going to Hell. That is not my decision. It is God's. However I will tell them what the Bible says. It is not from hate that we do this or to disrespect someone. It is from love.

Answer 9

I've noticed this in some Christians, but a lot of them try to understand my 'strange' beliefs even if they don't agree. Give them a chance--I'm sure you haven't talked to most people in your twelve years of life.

Answer 10

Thing is, when u have truth faith in a religion, u wish for everyone to see through your eyes.. U want to prevent everyone from believing in false deities. u want to save the world..

So, its not just the christians am afraid, its all religions.


And yes, i am an atheist
