What is Christians?
1.
A misinterpreted, misunderstood faith. as you can see in many entries below. Christianity HAS been used to do things in "The Name of God" that God would never have wanted (ie. killing your parents, raping small children and mothers, stalkers, racial segregation etc.) But to give a perfect definition of Christianity - you would have to read the New Testament of the Holy Bible and see how Jesus Christ lived. He is the perfect definition of Christianity...afterall, that's where it all started. Before judging Christians, please meet a REAL one (a down-to-earth one) to show you what it's all about. Not with words, but in their actions.
NOT A CHRISTIAN: *Person standing on a box, screaming, "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL"*.
A REAL CHRISTIAN: A person who is humble, who shows by their ACTIONS louder than their WORDS that they have something different(Jesus).
2.
People who follow Christ as the centre of their beliefs. They should accept that they are not perfect and that they need the love and forgiveness of Jesus to become whole again. They believe that they can have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Christians are not to be mistaken for hypocrites who follow a holier-than-thou attitude to life. Real Christians are humble and give all the praise back to Jesus.
"all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
3.
The only folk in the world that can discriminate and insult people other than themselves without being charged. Christians want their belief to be respected, but usually get very cross with non-christian people thinking the same way. They also believe that they are predestined for a better world thanks to their never-wavering faith in Gawd, and agree that all other people are simply inferior.

4.
People who follow Christ. Those who accept the fact that God incarnate in man suffered and died for their sins so that their worthless, vile, disgusting, and completly undeserving souls could go be with Him in Heaven. Christians do not save themselves through their own actions (contrary to the popular belief that Christians need to be "perfect"...if they were, then why would they need Christ?).
BTW: Christians are the number one reason why Christianity is not followed, misunderstood, hated or basically ignored.
I am a Christian and the world hates me but that's ok because I want nothing that this world has to offer.

Someone who defines themself as
As an athiest, screw the stereotypes, go look up the facts. slangdefine is not the place to answer your religious questions.
Well you COULD talk to a priest.....
6.
People who continue to try to convert and annoy anyone who is not christian. Whenever you are at the beach or the mall some asshole will come up to you with a bible in one hand and cross in the other and tell you how you are wrong for not following christianity. The funny thing is that they are passing judgment on you! Which is a sin by their standards!
"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things."
-Romans 2:1
Now explain that, you fucking hypocritical bastards! christians are ridiculous.

As a Christian, I have always believed that I am better than no one else, that everyone, including me, is a sinner, that I am far, far, far from perfect, and that we should love everyone as our brothers and sisters. Someone said that 90% of Christians are sinners, but in reality, EVERYONE is a sinner. It's HUMAN NATURE. I have always tried to not have a "holier-than-thou" attitude, and I try to be a kind person to everyone, Christian or not, and I never force my beliefs on anyone. A lot of non-Christians have a stereo-type that Christians are these weird breast-beating, self righteous people, but those people are just the people who think they are Christians and they do negative things, so of course the media is going to portray Christians in a negative way, since the media is so secular these days. I try to go against the stereotype that Christians have a holier-than-thou attitude by treating others with the respect they deserve. Oh yeah,
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A CULT. At least, not in the negative sense of the word.
I try to be a kind, non-agressive person to show others that non-Christians are not the way the media portrays them to be.
