Nothing uniquely, Biblical Christians that is (versus those in cults or of Rome), and much in contrast in regards to the obvious point. Lemmings are portrayed (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming#Myths_and_misconceptions) ) as following blindly, yet Jesus appealed to men's reason, hearts and minds in calling them to choose the "light," and did not constrain obedience, but actually worked to eliminate those who had a wrong motive. And anyone who follows Jesus blindly, without their heart and mind being used and tested, do not last long. The first universities and the majority of them in the advanced west, were not founded by atheists.
While faith is necessary, the history of God's dealing with men show that it is, like in getting married, a qualified step of faith. And in giving one's sins and self to Jesus, who gave Himself for us and rose again, you find out real quick that it was worth it, and will forever be so. i would not want to spend one day like i was before i knew Jesus, and was born agan by His Spirit.

LOL well I just know what they don't have in common. Each lemming is satisfied to just take himself over that cliff edge. Christians go all out to try and lure as many other people over with them.

Nothing. Lemmings are not a social animal. That entire bit you saw on tv was created by Disney after having kids capture lemmings.

How very kind and open minded of you. I will say as a Christian..
Both were made by God.
Both have no fear of death.
The duty of both is to serve Gods will.
Both are very misunderstood.

Heard mentality.
Lemmings will heard and follow a leader despite where he is taking them.
Christians believe what they have heard.
