Bible Question:
Born Again Christians - Why so weird? Here at the forum if you would read 100 posts at random, you would see why people who call themselves Christians are perceived as they are by the world. You will see attitudes that give Christianity a bad name. How do they offend? Let me count the ways: Arrogance, ignorance, taking pride in ignorance, negativeness, smugness, defiance against authority, intolerance toward those who disagree, zeal without knowledge, tactlessness, authoritarian attitudes...and the list goes on and on and on. (A definition of a fanatic - one who, having lost sight of his goals, redoubles his efforts.) I'm not saying that all, or even a majority of, professing Christians are like this. I'm merely saying the common perception of Christians as arrogant, ignorant, intolerant, etc. is well-deserved by many professing Christians. Grace to you, kalos |
