Are Christians too proud?

I want to know if most Christians that you meet act down to earth or high and mighty. And how has their behavior influenced ( if it has ) you?

I believe that there are people on both sides.

If I had to put a percentage on it, I would say 80% act high and mighty, while 20% are completely normal.

I don't like hanging around Christians simply because they try to cram that damn bible down my throat. They walk around, looking down on the sinners.

They think just because they believe in an mythical being, that they are somehow better than I.

And when they want to yap on and on about God and you ask them how they're sure that God is real, that start screaming and crying like you just questioned the existence of Santa Claus.

I want to add that why is this only focus on Christians?There are other Religion that is just as proud.

And it doesn't end until you try to change the subject..

"Dinner was great, wasn't it? I just love chicken. You?"

But that's only the hard core ones.."The Jesus is coming soon" crowd.

Yeah, I run into those all too often around my town. They are esspecially on me during the summer due to my tattoos being shown. It's like, hello! Millions of people are tattooed. If your "God" doesn't like, I'll just tell him the devil made me do it. 😐

A Mormon in another thread a while back noticed the same thing about people of his faith.

Hey, tribal thinking ftw.

But I look normal...just normal ..

This is my new view: Just agree with them. JUst say yes I'm a Christian

Yes I'm a Muslim

Yes I'm New Age

Yes I'm Hindu

Yes I'm a devil worshipper....

Yes yes yes...whatever.

😂

😆 Well, this thread turned offensive real quick.

In my experience, there are significantly less high and mighty Christians than there are humble. At least now a days. Most of the high and mighty ones are usually over the age of 50. But then old people are just like that.

I think a lot of people think Christians are judging and looking down on them when they really aren't.

I've yet to see a practitioner of Shinto take the "we're being victimized/targeted" stance, so clearly, Shinto is superior to others.

Shinto does not have the same religious 'mission' that the Abrahamic faiths do. It seems to be more of a loosely formulated 'intrapersonal faith' with a focus on connections with nature and the past (eg, animism, ancestor worship), rather than establishing and deseminating a code of behavioral ethics for all of Mankind to live by, ie, rather than being an 'interpersonal faith', which would naturally invite more conflict with other groups.

However, given the human propensity for 'us-them' thinking, I would think there are enough practitioners of Shinto that some do see themselves as superior to non-Shintoists, if only for the reason you cited.

Again, I'm largely speculating here, but I suspect there is a strong genetic predisposition for us-them thinking, a mindset which may have been advantageous long before religious preoccupation arose, back when primitive humans were more centered on protecting, say, feeding grounds against strangers.

I'm a christian and have been repeatedly turned off by people who claim christianity and then play, "Lets guess who's going to hell and why!!".
I'm not surprised that people are laughing at blatant hypocrisy. Witnessing has it's time and place( like a funeral is one places I've heard it's frowned upon and done anyway) but some folks act as though they're in the position of authority to save your soul whenever you get ready.

Pride is at the core of behaving like this so I thought this would be the right place to ask peoples honest opinions.
Most of the cool christians I know don't usually go to church that much they're just into the Bible. They act like normal people, really,and serious about not-judging people.

Churchgoers are a different story.
