Why Are Christians So Arrogant?

That is one wild goose chase, Lieutenant Dan

Most Christians I've known aren't especially arrogant.

A sensible answer to a joke comment (I was being ironic). But yeah, I think we in the UK often don't understand how tough it is to be an American atheist!

I live in Tennessee, in a small town in a population of mostly evangelical Southern Baptists... I answer the door to "Have you found Jesus?" more often than I care to put a number on. I've taken to answering "Someone should put a bell on that guy."

Pmsl!

I'm no Christian but I see a lot of arrogance here on this forum,

Yeah, mirrors tend to do that.

so it goes both ways, its arrogant to believe it doesn't.

Good point, which is something to guard against. There is a difference, though, between arrogance from a position of either dogmatic or self-aggrandised authority and perceived arrogance out of retaliation; i.e. shit attracts shit for the most part.

Yes its on both sides, shit is shit no matter what you call it.

No that's not quite what I said. My point was, you come across as arrogant out of some misguided sense of superiority, you get it thrown right back at you. If you can't take it, don't dish it out. Certainly don't complain about it afterwards.

(Hey, look at that - notice how I didn't have to quote a single word you said, yet you still managed to follow the flow of conversation? Awesome!)

So, I was on this app called "Bible Chat". These idiots actually believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old, god created EVERYTHING and that if you follow any other religion other than Christianity then you're following "false teachings" because "God is the almighty" hahaha. Im like "How're they following false teachings just because they're not following Christianity? Thats arrogant and ignorant logic" then I was suspended from the app haha. There was one guy who believed that if you read a book that was created by man(any other book than the Bible) then you're reading false and satanic work or something like that. Im like dude "The freaking Bible was written by man" hahahaha. I was Christian but people like this make me ashamed to be one. If you have iOS, then please download Bible Chat and look at the ridiculous stuff these people post. Hahahaha. Oh the judgmental and closed-minded mentalities.

I met once a dude on Bluelight. For the last 2 years he was performing a daily cold water extraction on 25 Tylenol with codeine pills, using 250mL of water every time. He complained about ulcers and vomiting. I explained to him that, close to freezing point, Tylenol is still soluble in water in amounts of 0.7g/100mL and that, by using 250mL every time, he was swallowing 1.75g of Tylenol. Every day. I told him that I graduated from chemistry.

He told me "I graduate you an idiot. Tylenol is not soluble in water. Codeine is. What type of idiot chemist are you if you can't even understand that much?".

Hmmm. There's not much you can say to persons like that. Just let natural selection take care of it. He's probably dead as we speak. All for the good of mankind.

You're getting sucked in man.
You'll get drawn down to their level of the illogical mind and get beaten by experience...
