Why are some Christians so arrogant about their religion?

and why do they direct their arrogance only toward Jews?

see: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmBhq...

Update:

Eric M: I am not denouncing billions of Christians (did you not notice I said SOME Chrisitans?). I personally know hundreds of Christians and none of them display even a hint of arrogance like that shown by the questioner to which I refer. Most Christians are good, honorable people--it's just SOME who have the "holier than thou" attitude who combine it with rudeness which results in arrogance.

Update 2:

geessewereabove: There was no such thing as a "rabbi" in Jesus's time so therefore he could not have possibly been a rabbi as you claim.

    - I've just answered that post you link to. What people answering here are missing is: WHY do Evangelicals ALWAYS specify Jews when they talk about needing to 'perfect' people?

    But Marcus, think of it like this: for 2000 yrs + Christianity has tried everything to try and convert us. And I do mean everything. Yet here we still are, quietly living our lives, trying to be good people, as our religion asks us to. Imagine HOW exasperating it must be for Evangelicals!

    I found this on another site, see what you think:

    Jews said that Jesus was not G-d. This statement assumes a "wrongness" about Christianity. The Church Fathers understood that if the Jews are right, and they remain Jews, this implies that Christianity is inaccurate.

    Therein lies Judaism’s colossal threat to Christianity. Other groups’ denial of Jesus is a great disappointment to Christians, but the Jews’ denial is intolerable. The Jews *knew* Jesus. The very group that produced him, those people who had the most knowledge and authority on such matters, those who brought us the very concept OF 'messiah' - KNEW beyond doubt that Jesus was not their maschiach!

    The Jewish threat to Christianity has nothing to do with the false Christian accusation of their having "killed" Jesus. The source of Christian fear runs much deeper: Jewish existence invalidates the essential tenet of Christian theology.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Note: Judaism does NOT say Christian beliefs are 'wrong'. We just say they are WRONG - FOR - **US**.

    Paperback is right.

    Christianity holds a special place in its heart specifically for dissing Jews. Many of them will talk about themselves as being 'perfected Jews' or 'completed Jews'. It's part of a belief system called 'replacement theology'. In their view, Judaism is obsolete and unnecessary.

    Those who will be are arrogant about everyone. The difference is that Jews, pagans, atheists, Buddhists, etc. know that Christians are talking out their ar when they go on about pagans, atheists, Buddhists, etc.

    Yet for some reason, most of you just accept without question what their canon taught you about Judaism.

    If Christianity doesn't get to define atheism, why does it get to define Judaism?

    I know this probably isn't any consolation, but the same ones who display this level of arrogance toward Jews ("perfecting" them? Yeeeeesh ...) also have taken it upon themselves to declare that Catholics (all 1.-something billion of us) are "not Christian" and we're also their "mission field". They are completely clueless on several counts, and I've noticed that most have such granite craniums where their own interpretations of the Bible are concerned that it's difficult if not impossible to shake their arrogant convictions.

    Possible because they don't want to read the Bible. For Rabbi Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20 that he was not here to start a new religion; but to fix the Jewish one.

    They are the ones that went to the Synagogues in the evenings, in the book of Acts. Most Christian religions today have broken off of that and removed a little to a lot of the what the Bible dose say.

    The question got a lot of poor reaction, including from Christians, so I would just leave it there. Hopefully the asker got some thoughts out of it.

    Source(s): I'm Jewish.

    I read the question in the link, and *wow!* That is arrogance on a scale that I rarely get to see.

    Jews don't have a monopoly on Evangelical arrogance, but they do have a controlling share in the stock.

    Sometimes Christians remember the 'inform' part and forget the 'love' part.

    Maybe I am the odd-one out;

    People that belongs to a religion serves under the law of their church,and is bound by that law! and not any other- one is right.

    Although Jesus said:

    He that believeth on me,As the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
