I know I am stereotyping, but this is the equivalent to the OP's view.

All of the above topics have been discussed, here, by Christians as well, interesting....

Bear in mind, I'm one too. I just meet so many dead, lifeless, boring, dull people who are Christians and have to ask, why? Have you ever met people like this? It seems like the only thing you can do as a Christian is read the bible, go to church and evangelize. Anyone else encounter this?

I went into Isengard and got you this:

I think people in general are boring. Or maybe you're so boring you suck the life out of those near you, giving you the impression people are boring.

Or maybe people, being Christians in this case, are too busy complaining about dire world issues like Harry Potter that they ruin it for everyone else.

Would you like me to critically deconstruct Harry Potter from an objective perspective?

Because I can, if it would make you feel better.

Yeshua did say if ye love me...keep my commandments. It is also written: if you are a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.

There are plenty of exceptions to entering the Kingdom of Heaven, you must become as a child for instance... do not fool yourselves, Yahweh well cut off the Lukewarm when He returns.

Ya, partiality is an abomination to God
Theres also verses about sinning outside of the law, you will be judged still 'because god is not partial' .

eep.

I think some Christians find themselves under so much pressure to be so perfect all the time that it is hard for them to let loose and have fun, because they are afraid of being judged. The truth is none of us are perfect. I only say this, because I have faced so much judgement by fellow Christians in the past. It puts too much pressure to on one person to live up to other Christians perceptions of "Godliness".

Nom De Guerre · Nov 23, 2012

I understand what you mean rose...believe me, more than you could imagine, having your every decision scrutinized by a plethora of people makes you feel weak and trapped; although, that is the exact moments you know you are overcoming the world. When you can be only in that relationship with Yahweh.

To deny your every human instinct, to plea unto our Father for even more Mercy for the human still in us as well attempt to walk the straight and narrow; but in retrospect, that burden was so much lighter than carrying the sins I have committed upon the body of Christ.

At least they have interests. The problem with so many Christians I meet is they don't have any, outside of church or the bible. Everything else, where I come from, is looked down on.

Then move? I wouldn't want to be involved in a church that is that constricting. If it's not a sin, why look down on it? It sounds like they just care too much about what other people are doing.

Anyway, I'm not Christian, but I find most people boring regardless. Just like you complain the Christian people you encounter do nothing but worship and Bible study, the non-Christians I know do nothing but play video games and immerse themselves in the ridiculousness of the Kardashians and Teen Mom and a myriad of other shallow, superficial "reality" TV shows. Believe me, most non-Christians aren't much better.

If you want to find interesting people, you have to go to interesting places. Go hiking. I can guarantee you that on a hike, you will encounter some of the friendliest, most interesting people you will meet. It seems like hikers in general are well traveled, educated people who have all sorts of interesting stories up their sleeve. They're non traditional, they care about the environment and they often do things against the grain.

Very strict Christians who take their faith seriously.

wannaberocker · Nov 23, 2012

Ill admit i can be quiet boring at times.

KimberlyAA · Nov 23, 2012

I've never encountered a boring Christian in my entire life. Must be where you live.

Ask those who have adhered to those scriptures which Glory they have seen and they will almost alwyas tell you that Yahweh picked them and showed them things beyond their own comprehension and have showed others around them these things as confirmations.

It is not about strictness, it's about realizing this world is doomed and finding an everlasting love from the creator of the Universe

redblue22 · Nov 23, 2012

love God and love each other. trust Jesus. all is a free gift. heavy and strict?

I rarely find people boring. Actually, people are the most exciting, well, people on the planet. I don't always understand, but I try. There are a lot of unhappy people out there. Yeah, so maybe that gets old for some of us. I'm sorry, I'm just rambling trying to think of what to say and I've got nothing.

Really? We have to censor the word sex? What are we, kindergartners? Christ came to save sinners, among whom are those who spell 'sex' - Father forgive me, for I do not star out biological terms.

OP: Case in point. I'm truly sorry about this. I'll dress in leather and pile drive you into a gravel road if that's exciting enough for you.
