Christians are insufferable

Tell me the devil is leading your life without telling me the devil is leading your life😭 praying for you hon❤️

Weirdest fan base ever

devil can’t lead me if i don’t believe in him lol. when are yall gonna accept that not everyone in the world has to have the same beliefs as you?

i can get behind the atheist thing. they always come across very negative

Mostly just the ones who tell you unprompted that you’re going to hell

careful there honey. Life is kinda scary, and the unexpected happens. Don’t think you won’t end in those shoes. Minds change constantly.🤓

i was raised as one lol, been around a lot of them that are extremely judgy, have a superiority complex, hypocritical and not at all Christlike. maybe i should have said * online christians

Theyre not so bad up north where im originally from (NYC) but now living in Florida...some of the most vile people ive ever met

yes, all humans are insufferable in one way or another

“Christians” that make you feel this way are like people that joined a book club and forgot to read the book.

True followers of Christ are called to live in a way that usually only bothers someone when their own insecurities are triggered.

i.e A Christ follower doesn’t engage in/match the attitude of the bank teller who’s used to stress and conflict in their life. They handle it with grace and show unwarranted kindness to walk the walk that Jesus did. He loved unconditionally regardless of where the person he ran into was mentally, emotionally or physically.

I’m sorry you feel this way friend and I see that you know we’re not all like that. I do know those of which you speak and they, unfortunately, tarnish the very work we try to do in His name daily.

well said

beautifully said 💕 we all fall short, but Gods mercy and love is like no other.

I’m assuming the insufferable comment has to do with what people are also considering hypocritical

Being Christian doesn’t mean that I’m perfect, but rather I follow Christ and therefore strive to be Christ-like. In many ways in life I’ve failed living up to His perfect image, and in many ways I will fail again but the goal is to try and not accept that I’ve failed because the model of God is one that operates on forgiveness and additional chances with repentance

I think being anti-Christian because you’ve met people who aren’t as flawless as Christ is such a backwards concept…I mean that’s extreme even in the lens of modern day cancel culture.

To the comment about not being controlled by the devil because you don’t believe in him, I’d hate to break it to you but that’s not at all how the world works.

Serious question: has anyone actually ever had a Christian come up to them and tell them they’re going to hell? Or is that just the cover for the hatred?

Someone I worked with, pretty much randomly, said to me that I was going to burn in a firey lake for eternity. Not sure how thats seen as an acceptable way to behave at work.

People full of hate are insufferable*

Are we not grown up enough to not keep blaming groups? Genuine Christians are those who want everyone to experience the peace of God. If you’ve met someone not like that - guess what, they aren’t an example of God.

Living a life pointing fingers and spitting hate is an awful waste of living.

God isn’t the issue, nor is Christianity, but people like this

very well said, and anyone who claims a Christian has said that to them need to realise that wasn’t a follower of God. As children of God we are taught to share the bible and his word but it’s his job to judge, not ours - you spoke perfectly 🙌

🙌🙌 yes

my husband was given a book that is ‘Bible Stories for Children’ when he was born. Recently my daughter has wanted me to read it to her and I’m honestly thinking about banning it and putting it away in a cupboard. The morals of the stories in it are so dubious, God in it is an absolute tyrant, killing thousands of innocent people if one person doesn’t do as he says, there’s lots of talk of men must rule over their families and so many other sentiments that are awful! I was so shocked! I’ll stick to Aesops Fables for stories with actually nice messages.

I’ve no idea the exact book you where provided so I can’t commit on whether it’s of good teaching or not, as it’s not the bible but made by modern man. But, there is great importance in teaching Gods message, God blessed us with free will, the ability to make choices, that if we make bad choice there are consequences… is this not valuable teaching to our kids? The Lord teaches us not to lie, cheat or be greedy - are these also not important teachings? In regards to the man being in charge, that’s an important message that is so commonly interpret based on our own ego’s to put it bluntly, a man’s job is to provide for his family (this doesn’t mean she can’t work, I’m a firefighter for example), providing means with love and support, a woman ‘submits’ to her husband meaning she looks after him with caring and support, these things come naturally in a healthy balanced relationship. It’s people that have put there on twist on the bible, there is an Old Testament and an new

well said. The problem is, we're all imperfect humans, but once you become a Christian, you're expected to become a holy angel lol.

That’s a heartfelt and honest question. The Bible doesn’t tell us to simply accept suffering without grief. In fact, it gives space for mourning, anger, and deep questions. Jesus Himself wept at death (John 11:35) along with others like Job and David who also cried out during sorrowful times.

From what the Bible tells us, God doesn’t cause tragedies like the death of a child. Loss and suffering are the result of a broken, sinful world, not God’s cruelty. But in that brokenness, God is near. Through faith, many Christians find peace and healing not by pretending it’s okay, but by leaning on the God who promises to be with us in the pain and to one day make all things right (Revelation 21:4).

So it’s not about blind acceptance, it’s about choosing trust in the midst of heartbreak, believing that even when we don’t understand, He is still good.

Jesus was also very clear that following Him doesn’t mean a pain-free life. In fact, He promised that we would face suffering, but also promised His presence and peace in the middle of it.

We see this in John 16:33 where Jesus says “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”Jesus acknowledges suffering will happen, but points us to peace in Him, not in circumstances.

So through this, we are called to remember our foundation, be grounded in something that gives us hope, something positive to be the very opposite of what we believe the devil is which is pain, sorrow, destruction, etc.

Sorry that was so long!

I also think that’s a very valid question! Just to give my side on it, child loss is one of the hardest if not the hardest loss anyone can go through. The Lord understands that we are human and we mourne, he never says we can’t grieve or feel loss but he does teach us to have complete faith in him. I’ve seen the Lord completely turn my life around in so many ways although I pray to never experience that pain I have so much faith in God that I trust his plan entirely. I lost both my parents and it broke me, and I still mourne this but I trust God completely, he understands I feel hurt, and some days are tougher than others but nonetheless we trust Gods plan because he has shown us what he can do xx

People who use Christianity as a way to get/justify bombing others, capitalism, gun ownership, having way more than others, are insufferable

Any person, of any religion who attempts to dictate the way another person lives based on their own religious views, is insufferable.

Hi! So I’m a Christian and I’m best friends with trans people and attend pride every year. I have a daughter. I absolutely never shove my religion at people. Don’t judge us all please because we aren’t bad people.

I don’t agree with Christians are insufferable because that’s my family and friends as well as myself. Also to add my daughter isn’t being brought up as a Christian but if she chooses to follow God of any capacity she’s more than welcome too. If she wants to be a Muslim or Christian or Jew or atheist or whatever she wants she’s more than welcome too. We don’t all force our children to follow the same religion as ourselves.

I’ve lost a baby and I was very angry at the Lord for that however I’ve seeker comfort knowing I will meet my baby again. I completely understand that others don’t feel or see it the same and religious beliefs aren’t for everyone.

it’s more for comfort that he’s there for us. It doesn’t make it easier and it doesn’t say we HAVE to accept it but it’s a comfort knowing we have god to go to

you sound so much like some people I know 😲

I hope in a good way! 😭

yeah lol
