Are apathetic (lacking interest) Christians no different from agnostics or atheists?

Answer 1

I think if you're apathetic either you're not a christian or something is very wrong and you're slipping away from being a Christian. If there's one thing you can get out of the Bible, it's the idea that we are supposed to care about the people and the world around us, to show love and to take action when we see a need. Jesus commanded to love one another, and love and apathy can't go together any more than love and hate can. And I guess if you're not following the Christian life then yes, you're the same as the athiests and agnostics.

Answer 2

"...I relate more with the agnostic and atheist belief." I understand what you intended, but you should know: there are no beliefs in atheism. It's a *lack* of belief in other people's claims that gods exist, not a set of beliefs. "Are your families supportive?" Some are, some aren't. The ones that aren't are mostly people I wouldn't want to spend time around anyway, they're mostly judgmental and hypocritical idiots. So I really don't care. "What advice would you give...?" Be honest, be yourself, and don't give in to family or peer pressure to "conform." The people in the world who have done the greatest things are those who didn't care what society wanted them to do to "go along with the crowd," they're the ones who boldly went their own way. Good luck.

Answer 3

How can a person be a christian if they are apathetic about religion?

Answer 4

No, they are too lazy to be like atheists. With some more energy, they could be atheists.

Answer 5

Actually our Lord called them lukewarm and said he would rather they be hot or cold, than what they were, and due to the fact of what they were he would vomit them out.

Answer 6

Much worse actually. To know the truth and disregard it, is supreme trouble.

Answer 7

Only God knows how we are to be judged.
