Why is it that whenever a 'believer' questions other believers?...?

Question

... It is automatically assumed that the asker is faithless?
(specifically the 'Christians'.... ahhh yes, my favorite and yours...maybe it's the Avatar...but then if that's the case then an 'assumption' is being made about an appearence....now is *that* very Christian?

Answer 1

I've been through that myself, I'm Catholic and get bitter answers if I don't tell them I'm Catholic.

Also Sometimes when I do say I'm catholic and give best answer to a non-catholic, I get e-mails from other Catholics yelling at me for choosing an answerer that was not from the same religion.

It's so stupid, as if I can't choose an answer from non christian. Hey if the answer was good, I'm going to pick it even if it's non Christian.

Answer 2

It is not very Christian to judge another as faithless-only God knows what is in a persons heart. We all have our own unique perceptions and a tolerance for others differences should be practiced. Over all though there is more tolerance there then there is between believers and non-believers.
That is why I get frustrated with the attacks by non-believers over what a Christian does believe. What difference should it make to someone that I believe when they do not?
Why make claims that Christians want to kill non-believers based on some old testament verse written thousands of years ago?
Or do a comparison of the Old Testament with the New Testament knowing full well that if there were no changes there would be no need for one to be the "Old" and the other the "New"-It would be just one.
Why is there so much venomous hatred? I don't understand why that is?

Answer 3

I don't know if it's an assumption if that is how you want people to see you. In other words if you don't want people to think of you as something your not then you can't give them the "not" and expect any different. I don't assume anybody is faithless but when there's a question asked I assume that person knows nothing of the subject, that's why their asking the question. So I may explain everything just like the person knows nothing so I don't leave out anything important. GOD BLESS!!

Answer 4

I don't know if I would consider this more a question then a shot at some christians, however, I would like to say that I hate when christians get mad at other Christians for asking questions, it harbors the idea that Christians want people to be ignorant, or it shows that many Christians are too lazy to search for a logical explanation to something. Either way it is detrimental to Christianity as a whole

Answer 5

I can only speak for myself, but I don't see why anyone would think a person is completely faithless just because they were asking questions. In fact, I don't remember seeing it in any of the discussions I've been a part of. Is this a pattern you've seen across the board or just something that's happened to you?

Answer 6

Because questioning a belief system scares people. People don't like to be scared. So they assume you are bad, faithless, and wrong to question them. And, no, it is not very christian of them.

Answer 7

Some feel that people who truly believe do so blindly and without question.

Which is of course silly. Even Mother Theresa admitted in her journals she had doubts and questions and "issues" many times.

Answer 8

you are right, the Christians are enjoying the spoils of man kind, they are like witches gathered at black masses, evil minds that plot destruction... as the war machine keeps turning.

Answer 9

I don't know. I have some beliefs that most Christians don't believe in. I have never had them say a thing to me..

Because each esteems themselves greater then the other.
