I've had some come up to me and say, "we're watching you" It REALLY creeped me out.
Here, I've been called all sorts of names, many which were profane, you know come to think of it I have never reported them.

Denial of stated "facts" about God in the Bible that Fundies refuse to accept at face value. They come out with all kinds of explanations, interpretations and apologies to made it look like the Bible says something else...

The worst thing here was from a troll PRETENDING to be a Christian who said that the California fires were a punishment from God because of the homosexuals who live in that state.
THAT was horribly offensive, but as it was from a "pretender," it doesn't count.
The worst thing I heard recently from an atheist who publicly stated that I am the most offensive person here.
I disagree with her; I'm not.

I would like to apologise for any one on here who has been offended by a Christian. I am a strong Christian and wouldn't dream of ever saying some of the stuff that some people will stay on here. I just want you to know that we are not all that bad, in fact most of us aren't, and I am really sorry if our religion has been used to insult you or hurt you in any way.

The worst thing is when they doubt Christ's ability to perform miracles such as the ongoing miracle of the Eucharist as a defense of their unscriptural view that what He said is not true but symbolic instead, in opposition to John 6 and the Gospel accounts of the last supper. This is not a personal insult but an insult towards God.
The funniest things are also misunderstandings of Scriptures such as the doctrines of men they follow like OSAS and the foolish question that I sometimes hear from them asking, "Do you have a personal relationship with Christ?" My answer is, " I am a priest and I eat His Body and drink His Blood every day of my life. One cannot have a more personal relationship with Christ than this." That usually leaves them speechless contemplating the ridiculousness of their question.
One can only pray that they come out of the darkness of their man made religions into the light.
In Christ

I think that is terrible if you were treated badly..but you know... what good would having a church be if there were no hypocrites to go to them?...Churches would be empty and preachers would have no one to preach to.. I hear just as bad of things coming from both sides of the picture..Most of them need a little humility before they will have compassion..but that's everyone...not just christians.

That yoga is a practice of devil-worship, and that each yoga posture is an expression and celebration of the "Evil Serpent." The person further stated that the practice of yoga in any form offends God and Jesus.

"I'm praying for you!" while shaking a fist in my face. Funny, he looked like and was built like Barney Fife. I could have broken him in two with one gut punch but instead laughed and walked away, making him angrier.
He died a few months later from a burst aorta. Lot of good, that prayer stuff.
Another near-fight was with some Southern Baptists shortly after moving to Mississippi. I was minding my own business, trying to move into a new place and they kept blocking my path, asking that stupid "Where do you go when you die?" question. I finally dropped the big box I was holding and said "if you're looking for a fight, you've found one." They beat it out of there.
Edit: I disagree with that atheist. Batgirl, I find you to be one of the nicest PEOPLE on here, faith or no faith. You always seem to have a kind word. I'm glad you don't let it bother you.

Why are u looking for ways to demean the Christianity?!cos this qn will lead others to ridicule Christianity and not basic human flaws and fiobles.
Bhuddahists , pple who practise Judaism, Hinduism, Baalism, even atheists can all say and do offensive stuff. Why be soooo hypocritiocal, when the Christian does u switch on your headlights!!cos even Moslems,etc have moral standards that they sometimes fail to meet. Others have fundamentals that oppose basic human rights, but never mind the real issues, right?! its only worth mentioning when the Christian fails?
How about asking the best thing those who are saved have done.
Respect other pples beliefs, dont look for ways to publicly slander them using easily misconstrued qns to do so, cast the first stone if u havent ever been nasty ,oh and tell me ur religion so I can associate ur personal slip-ups with it and post it on my space, if Im "lucky" pple might not disrespect ur religion cos of it.
And yes it is unfortunate that those u have met have misrepresented it in their behaviour and interpretation of it, but respect it for what it is.If u dont believe in it, fine, just dont offend those who do cos Christianity disallows all the bad stuff mentioned above, dont attach ill behaviour to it.
Hypocrisy is devoid of racial, religious,economic boundaries,
seems to me contradiction is universal:
Ive heard Atheists say Oh my God, even oh Jesus??

That what I'm talking about is wrong eventhough they haven't tried it yet. That they know this and that better, implying a monopoly of the truth
