Non-Christians

Why do Non-Christians try to tell Christians what we do or don't beleive in. I am not talking about ex-christians; the ones who may have fallen away from the faith. But the ones who never stepped foot in a church or opened a bible.

Them: "Christians believe in a reincarnated 6 headed penguin that drinks blood."

Me: " oh wow, I had no idea i believed that. Thank you for letting me know." 🙄

Because christians often get preachy and reveal what they believe in anyway so we don't have to strawman anything. It seems that christians among each other don't even have a consensus.

I've read most of the Bible and I really don't understand the hype and how most christians come to certain conclusions about their God.

[b]The Day of the Lord[/b]

1 thess 5
…While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. 5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.…

Matthew 10:15
Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Luke 21:34
But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life--and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

Acts 26:18
to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified [c=BF0000][b]by faith in Me.'[/b][/c]

2 Peter 3:10
But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.


Revelation 3:3
Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed…

Colossians 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

1 Peter 2:9,10
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: …

@Carazaa are you comparing yourself to Noah? Earlier you called the brightess theologians Christianity has ever known "ignorant" and now you are claiming you are one of few who knows something that only God knows. Remember that pride was the sin of Satan.

@Random3838 All christians longing for Jesus return and searching out when he might come back for us are like Noah!

I’m one of those who lost their faith. It’s usually the other way round for me. I steer clear of Christians who start preaching to me. I’ve been one of those people, and now understand how annoying it is. As long as people leave me alone to believe as I choose, I’m happy to do the same for others.
Yes, I don't understand it either. Then again, the only way they can ever hope to debunk (which is what they love doing) what Christians believe is to misrepresent what we believe, on purpose.
"Oh, you believe in an invisible sky-daddy! Har-har-har!"
No, we [b]don't[/b]. I've never met a Christian who did. Their strawmanning is infantile and idiotic.

@Cassie2083 infantile and idiotic!!
You got that right!!

Yeah i have seen that on SW a few times.. People post questions asking Christians about Christian doctrine like marriage and divorce and all these atheists respond with their ignorance and projection, when they where not even asked to comment.. Some people just cannot shut their ignorant mouths..
As a pagan for 20 plus years it is most often Christians who tell me what I believe all the time (none of them have gotten it right so far) and spend their time telling me why I am wrong and how they have all the answers and their answers are correct by default.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow yes, it definitely goes both ways for sure.
Iwantyourhotwife · 22-25
That's the same for every affiliation and system of belief

You'll find people misconstruing left and right because it pleases them. Just ignore it

Christians believe in talking snakes and donkeys, they take their creation stories and mythical stories seriously.

@Caballero Yikes. You need help. Possessed? That is an extremist view even within Christian circles.
Random3838 · 36-40, M
@Caballero i would say more like deceived than possessed. Though, i would also claim that for many christians as well.
