When Will The Christians Learn?
There are many more people in the world that are not Christian than there are Christians. They have no desire to be patronized by you. Most live their lives without harming others and have no desire to do so.
Christians on the other hand, have an overwhelming desire to impose their beliefs on everyone. I know it is your belief system that requires you to do so. It is this overbearing attitude towards others that gets you into trouble.
Why can’t you just leave the rest of us alone?
Ok.
Wow….! 😐
I guess I am fortunate then that the ones in my friendlist do not ever impose their religious beliefs on me….
But I’m realistic and realize that I’m not exactly a prized potential convert. 🙂
I’ll be honest, John; I’m not religious at all… But the friends of mine that are Christions have been unbelievably good friends to me… and loyal ones… despite the fact that I am pretty much worthless in matters of faith.
I guess you’ve met some annoying folks who happen to be Christians? 🙁
The Hare Krishnas were the worst religious folks that I remember for being persistent and irritating; it got to the point where I was damn near afraid to take a plane anywhere if I was by myself because I knew I’d be fighting off those determined enthusiastic people at every main terminal in every airport I happened to pass through… nationwide. 😡
If Jesus was real and alive, he’d kick most of his worshipers out of the club.
I hear what you are saying Allah but even if there are more NON Christians in the world than there are Christians, Christianity is the number one majority Religion in the entire world.
(I thought I would add that so nobody misconstrues what your words meant about how many of what)
I agree, 1st hand I learnt that one: ok if you believe and are born again etc, but keep it to yourself.
Namaste`
I gave you a heart 🙂 That’s all you get!!
Because most Christians of the European/American breed are very self centered, and are too immature to realize that in the global aspect, we’re all reduced to the same thing, no matter what faith, gender, culture, race, species, etc… We are all part of the circle of life, and must accept the fact that even as humans at the top of the food chain, we will eventually become part of the dirt that grows the grass the cows will eat, and the dogs will crap on.
My whole life I’ve had folks knocking on my door wanting to tell me about Jesus. Not once have I ever had anyone knock on my door wanting to tell me about any other religious icon. Somehow I get the feeling that if anyone ever did, they’d get shot long before they made it to my house. 😥
This is something that troubles me as well, but for me it doesn’t just stop at religion. Just because I believe in something, whether it’s my religion, a cause or even the Tooth Fairy, I don’t feel it is then my right to impose my beliefs on others, regardless of how good my intentions might be, just because you might not agree with me. Whose to say that I am right? Maybe you are. It’s all a matter of perspective and what works for me does not and might not necessarily work for you. So what right do I have to try and force it down your throat and then be annoyed at you if in the end you STILL don’t agree with what I say? We were all born with the gift of free will. It was given to us as a gift for us to use so why should anyone feel they have the right to infringe upon this gift or take that right away? Nothing will close my mind quicker to what you are trying to teach or enlighten me about than if you try to force it down my throat like some nasty ass tasting cough syrup!
For the record, I am a non-practicing yet at the same time practicing Catholic. Non-practicing in that I rarely if ever go to church or attend a church service yet practicing in that I pray to God in my home, knowing He can hear me just as well there as in any other place I choose to pray. This works for me and that is all that I am concerned with.
just for you…
Trouble In The World
I’ve almost stopped
reading the paper
and
I don’t watch TV
so
I don’t claim to
understand
what’s going
on
but I think it’s
going to be
world war three
or
maybe it’s the
revelation
and I’m
fucked
because any God
that created
all this
doesn’t deserve
to be
believed.
Dear Allah-O-Akbar,my name is Elfwing(online) and I’m sorry t hear about so much judgement and arrogance-especially connected to my belief system. I’m Christian based in my beleif’s(although I believe that there are spiritual truths that may not be explicity revealed in the King James Bible)I sincerely care about people,and have a strong desire to share God’s love with others-in word and deed. I try very hard not to shove anything I believe down anyone’s throat-or up anywhere else. I sincerely hope that you meet people from my belief system that treat you well,and sincerely care about you and yours. May the God of Grace be with you,and may you feel His Love and Peace in every aspect of your life. Peace,dear sir,and Namaste.
This map helps put world religions in perspective ~ about 1/3 of the world is predominantly Christian with the other 2/3 other religions. Notice that Islamic territory is not as big as some people make believe it is.

hummmm, i think it’s a lil harsh to lump all Christians into that mold. I’m sure you wouldn’t go along the lines of all Muslims are terrorists would you? I would never push my beliefs on anyone. i say live and let live. I personally have no issue with gay marriage, and many other things that ppl like to “throw” upon ppl who claim to be Christian, yet I am.Remember this…the fringe always makes the news, it doesn’t define everyone.
If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be–a Christian.
– Mark Twain’s Notebook
Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion — several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn’t straight. – Mark Twain
I agree with justjeff, you certainly can’t lump us all in the same groups. The extremists always make the news, whether religious (Christian, Muslim), political, or anything else. Those who go about their day-to-day lives quietly just aren’t entertainment-worthy…err…sorry, newsworthy.
The only ones I’ve had come by my door are Jehovah’s Witnesses, and I am currently holding weekly meetings with them at my house simply to find out what they believe and how they are similar and different. I honestly wish people of other beliefs WOULD come knocking on my door. I would find it fascinating to hear what they believe and why. I love discussions with people of other religions.
It is quite enlightening to understand a worldview that is different from my own.
Many Christians believe nonchristians are going to burn in hell forever. I understand that’s rather unpleasant.
Naturally, if they care about others at all, they’re gonna want to tell people about it.
Unfortunately, too many use that as an excuse to judge others and make themselves feel superior.
