I once went through a period of my life when my parents became indoctrinated by Jehovah's Witnesses. It was the most miserable experience of my life. Every other day 4 times a week, I had to attend bible-studies, congregation meetings, & theocratic schools, in which they spoke as if their beliefs were fact.
When I asked questions about their belief system, such as why God would "cast Satan down to earth" to torment mankind for thousands of years with disease, corruption, & abiotic disasters just to prove a point to him that man will not be misled from Him (assuming this was true), the JWs would respond with a type of rhetoric device, speaking in irrelevant metaphors, with things like "Well, it's like a teacher who has a rebellious student. Is it more sensible to sit the student down & correct him, or send him away from the classroom?"
They will use fundamental little stories & metaphors that are absolutely unrelated to their point, rather than using scientific fact or at least treating it as an unproven theory. Not only that, but they looked down upon non-believers in a sense as ignorant, "haughty", & "un-God-like".
The only problem I really have with Christians is that they are over-self-righteous about themselves.
Every religious person needs to come to the realization that Whatever you don't know, you can make mean anything.
No one can prove that there is a God, nor can they disprove it. It all depends on what you were taught.

Do you know that millions will be deceived into receiving a computer Microchip underneath their skin in order to buy or sell and will be judged by Almighty God for doing so? This Microchip is already being implanted in animals and wildlife as they are monitored by satellite and the FDA has already approved this Implant safe for humans. Did you know that our own Government will force this implant on everyone as ordered by the United Nations and those rejecting it shall become criminals, arrested, jailed and sentenced. Did you already know this? Oh, I did this out of habit...Go to trumpetmin.org for more info if you doubt me..

Sometimes, but I do like telling people the stuff I know. I'm willing to share the information.

Yes they have a habit of thinking they are superior to anyone else that doesn't share their faith.

yes there is one thing that I know that somebody else may not, and that is Jesus Christ- however I would love to share the news, that others will come to know Him.

Why do you assume only Christians suffer from human nature?

Well when you make it your business to look for God and have a relationship with him in prayer and talking to Him and reading the Bible so as to know more about Him, yeah! we know things that many people do not know, because the Holy Spirit reveals things that the human person cannot perceive.

No matter what religion you belong to, you should be humble, and kind to others. The more you know the less arrogant we will be. No one is perfect; Not one religion know better than others.

No more than any other group of people.
I have seen some very opinionated secularists.
