Such a godless generation!!!!!
Answers:
1. probably because it is none of your business.
2. Because the notion of God is a bunch of hooey. And............hooray for the godless generation!!! We need more atheists. It's wonderful.
3. You are not God and I don't think he wants you speaking for him. You probably mean well or at some point you meant well, but now you seem self righteous and sitting in judgement of others and that's not your place.
4. Defensive because they are not looking to be flamed, rather they are looking for a virtual hug. The right hug that comes along gets the best answer, whether it is the truth or not.
5. It's sad isn't it? So many people with no direction. You don't even have to mention a particular religion. Just the name God sends them into a fit of anger. Makes me wonder if they are mad they don't believe, or mad that they can't justify their non beliefs?
6. Because people are afraid of turning over their life to God. They can't possibly understand the concept of doing that because they're too busy trying to control their lives.....in reality---they have no control---hence all the troubles that they worry about day in and day out.
Turn them over to the Father, you'll sleep better and be more relaxed.
7. You need to be carful not "come off" as talkng down to them; it's you job to REACH them at thier levle.
8. Because people hate being preached to. Personal beliefs are just that....personal. It would be different if people ASKED for spiritual guidance. If they want that, ask a priest or a pastor. I sure wouldn't want spiritual advice from a layman. No offense.
9. Sin feels good to them and makes them feel powerful, for you to say, they need help and get away from sin. Its like taking them off there throne, that they don't even know there on. They think the man above can do nothing. but they haven't seen anything yet have they. Just wait for the trails and tribulations to come on hard. Then they will understand tat we wanted to help them and give them someing, not take something away.People just don't know what he can do.
Keep up the good work no matter what they say....
Lisa W Dont put all people in one catagory I like it.
10. Just as a precautionary measure because in every step of life peoples are being decieved almost by all kind of peoples.
11. If they didn't ask, or feel threatened, or if you do it in an "in-you-face" sort of way. But in a way, it does seem that way. I mean, everyone is saying "accept and tolerate everyone" yet religion is one of the least tolerated topics. Best is to do everything with tact.
12. Because most people dont want to acknowledge that God does exist and has his eye on them.
13. Lisa W got it right.
14. Godly advice. Are you really that good? Godly? Hm. If god existed, he'd be p oed with you.
15. Because people with godly advice usually come off as judging or with a 'holier than thou' attitude. I think that those who are religious should follow their beliefs, Christianity and most other religions are supposed to be based on love right, give advice with respect and tolerance and if it's not advice that someone is looking for keep your opinions to yourself while offering loving support. What would Jesus do? Isn't that the slogan? Judgement only makes people feel bad about themselves and pushes them further away. It's one reason that hardcore evangelism doesn't work. Most seem to do it to feel better about themselves instead of for the betterment of fellow men or women.
16. Umm...dude....Psssssst. YOU are not god. Ipso Facto YOU can not dispense "godly" advice.
At least you are not MY god so stop being a self righteous pretentious *** and try LIVING your life as if EVERYONE were your equal instead of your inferior/
17. Because such advice is useless, and a waste of everybody's time. Family relations are real, not a fantasy.
18. people would rather believe in nothing than a god who is all seeing all knowing. I pity those people who shut out the one and only one that can truelly help them.
