Why are Christians so Arrogant?

Is arrogance a [i]sine qua non[/i] of Christianity? It certainly seems to be a common trait among Christians.

You weaken your own argument by the blanket accusation.

Arrogance is no more necessary for Christianity than it is for any other strand of religious thought, including agnosticism and atheism.

Rather there are arrogant people in that faith and all others and none; and those who are so weak find their beliefs a convenient support and weapon against others.

Anyway didn't Jesus teach humility, kindness and respect for others? If so then those use and abuse the faith against others are not quite as "Christian" as they like to think.

Actions speak louder than words so, by their actions, a lot of christians would disagree with you.

@suzie1960 I am sure they would but if they are arrogant that is their own nature, not a function of their faith.

@ArishMell It's a common trait among many members of that religion/faith/cult.

@suzie1960 it's a common trait regardless of faith, but your original post seemed to accuse all Christians and only Christians of being arrogant, which they are not.
