Do you mean church people or true believers. I think there is a difference and if you got to know some you would find that to be true. My Grand Mother was one of the best Christians I have ever known. One morning she discovered that someone had come into the kitchen sometime in the night, when she had forgotten to lock the door. It was summer time and most nights she would leave the kitchen door open and lock the screen door. After that night she left her door unlocked for quite some time, because she felt that someone in her community didn't have anything to eat. Every night that person would come in through the kitchen door and get something to eat and leave. She never knew who it was, then for quite some time she made sure there was something to eat and that the person could get in. After a while went by and the night time visitor hadn't come, she began locking the door again . How many people do you know that would do that. Her faith in God helped her to know that she was safe, and that she could do that without worry. Don't judge all church people as cruel, you really don't know us all.

Most people that are in church were brought up in church. They have been a member at some church all their lives. SO therefore they have never known what it is like on the outside looking in, as opposed to on the inside lookin out. However, you cannot catorigize all "church people" this way. Some are really great and at church for the right reason...GOD!

This is because many church people do not actually know god they are hipicrites they aren't living by god's ways but by the worlds ways . Sadly alot of people who go to church are not living god's way. Sadly some church's teach wrong things that aren't from the word of god. Not all church people are cruel than people who don't go to church. We are all human and make mistakes. I for one do not belive you have to go to church but I personaly go because I enjoy learning more about god and worshiping him.

Frankly I do not even know what you are talking about and I have been going to church for years. It is 'out in the world' where I have met cruelty and rudeness on a regular basis.
For my family the church is like an Oasis in the desert of human kindness.

It's really a reflection on where they have been.
Most believe that the real truth hurts. As well it does to most.
Unfortunately truth can be a hard pill to swallow.
I know some of my answers can be hard, tough or with what appears to be a lack of love but that is because I know where I've been and know that except for the grace of God go I.

They aren't more cruel....atheists and other religions like Buddhist or Hindu,,,can be cruel too...people are people and you have got the twisted question down pat, don't you? Try to legitimize your questions a bit and you will get more respect. Stop spinning them.

I don't believe that your statement is accurate. There are nice people, and swine, in every group--even (or perhaps especially) religious groups. I'm a Christian guy, and I don't know any cruel Christians. If they are cruel, they are not real Christians--and they can't fool God.

That is a rather generalizing question. I don't know who you know but the people I know who go to church and know God are really nice people.

Are they? Why would you say this? Sometimes people might say this because if they profess to be a Christian, fellow Christians hold them to that higher standard. They don't expect non-Christians to keep to the teachings, but the Bible tells us to be our brother's keeper. If we see a fellow-Christian going the wrong way, we should lovingly guide him back in. Unfortunately, there are always people who don't know how to do this in a loving way.

I will Tell You SomeThing:
Pride. Is a sin.
Did you Know that a Person can Think he,she is SomeBody (sinful pride),
Think that their better than SomeBody Else, More Worthy than SomeBody Else, you know the Kind of Pride---"I don't need to Talk to You" Kind!!!
Hahahahaha!!!
Jesus Christ layed the Playing Field---LEVEL.
Jesus Christ LOVES EveryBody the Same.
BUT:
The UnBelievers are Worth More than the Believers.
Untill They Get Saved.
See, Jesus Christ came to SAVE THE LOST.
The Creator Actually Became "One of Us".
To Help US. (I used to be "LOST"!)
Think About It!
