Hi! At this point, I'm just checking back when asked a question. When my life gets less hectic, I'll start browsing to find questions to answer. But please ask; I will answer within 24 hours.advice
I want to know different people opinions on christian people. Please share your opinion and express how you feel about christians today. Personal stories are welcome, and any experiences you had with christians/christianity. In general, I just want to get an idea of how most people view christians today. Thank you and I'll rate
This is more of a survey than a request for advice, but I'll bite.
I generally divide christians into three groups: annoying, lip-service, and "weirdoes" (several of my friends and I joke that it's highly insulting to call someone "normal"). :)
Annoying Christians are those who approach me on the street, knock on my door, or otherwise initiate contact with me for the sole purpose of converting me. If I want to know more about your church, I'll go to you babe. It's not like your a secret society or otherwise hard to find.
Lip-service christians are ones who parrot back what they've been told without thinking about it. They frequently contradict themselves because they've never actually thought about it. The ones who use these lines as explanations/justifications in discussions (especially political ones) tend to get a very harsh response from me. I don't view them any more fondly than I view the annoying ones.
"Weirdoes" are the good ones. I do know and respect several christians - my mother for instance is quite catholic. They have chosen a christian denomination (or sometimes a limited subset of the denominations beliefs) and have thought about it. They can defend their faith reasonably well, and will listen to me talk about my beliefs with the same respect I've given them. Sometimes that's not much, but when all's done, we agree to disagree and go on with whatever else brought us together.
(Rating: 5) Thank you, your the first one to give me an honest, mature opinion!
