Why do christians act like they have the monopoly on God,rightiousness,and morality.? ?

I hearcomments and see how they back stab each other over little things. it just gets me angry because the christians i personally know are not even good people but are ready to point out the flaws on non christians who are maybe kinder gentler and more honest. Not to bash on christians but why the self rightious arrogance many of your fellow christians show?

    We don't have a monopoly. But we do, if we believe in it, have the truth at our hands. But Bibles are very abundant so even an atheist can have the truth, and read it, etc.

    Why do some Christians /act/ like they have a monopoly? We are human, and subject to all the faults of everybody else.

    Our claim to fame isn't ourselves. Its our God. He's the one who is righteous, true, and.. has a monopoly on Himself haha. Not us. As long as you look at Christians, you are looking at human beings.

    Though hopefully we share the love of God, but we're still human, just like you.

    Low self esteem. If I follow the Bible, then I'm good. Those don't are bad and if I point it out to them, then I appear good as to tell them that they are wrong. Therefore, I feel better about myself. Also, I've seen that type of attitude from radical Christians. The normal, everyday Christians are just like everyone else.

    No concept in any respect. They worship a God who orders mothers to consume their babies, who rips the unborn babies out of mom's stomachs, who butchers over 24 million harmless human beings interior the bible and nevertheless they declare the ethical extreme floor? They do sturdy because of the fact they are frightened of hell or because of the fact they choose a reward, no longer because of the fact of any altruistic love of mankind, and nevertheless they declare the ethical extreme floor? how many acquaintances do you have that are in common terms your human beings because of the fact they worry what you will do to them or anticipate something large from you. They act out of selfishness, self contentedness, and greed and nevertheless they desire to declare the ethical extreme floor. it is a frigging enigma how any team of human beings would properly be so ignorant.

    Yeah, that's pretty arrogant to say.

    As deist, let me make an arrogant statement as well. There is only one god and he's neither righteous nor moral, because he's infinitely above petty trivial human egoistic bullshit like wrath, anger, judgement, etc.

    Many Christians (and Muslims and Jews) are very bad people who delight in threatening people with eternal damnation.

    WHY DO PEOPLE need religion? Some would say that humans turn to spiritual matters in order to find security in an insecure world. But there is more to it than that. An article in the journal American Sociological Review noted: "The need for security is not the only attraction of religion. People have always sought answers to such questions as: Where do we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here?"

    No doubt you would agree that those are profoundly important questions. As such, do they not require reliable answers? Such questions are too important, too weighty, to be resolved by simply selecting religious beliefs from various traditions because these appeal to us personally. If we are to find solid, reliable answers to life's deeper questions, surely we need a better method.

    Is there something better? Ferrar Fenton, a translator of the Bible, said something remarkable about that book. He called it "the only key that unlocks the Mystery of the Universe to Man, and the Mystery of Man to Himself." Yes, the Bible answers questions about the past, the present, and the future. It tells us where we came from, what the meaning of life is, how we can find happiness, and what the future holds for us. No other book in history has been as influential as the Bible; nor has any other book survived so many virulent attacks. Why, though, do so many disregard this unique book in their search for answers to life's questions?

    Many people have not paused to consider the profound differences between the Bible and the churches they have known. They have seen how so-called Christians slaughter one another in God's name. Many have complained, as The Guardian noted, that "priests are more interested nowadays in raising money than in pastoral visits." They think, perhaps, that the Bible endorses or condones such behavior. The truth is, the Bible commands Christians to "love one another," and it tells those who preach the word, "You received free, give free." (John 13:34; Matthew 10:8) Is it fair, then, to judge the Bible by the deeds of people who claim to respect it but do not follow it?

    Many believe that the Bible is unscientific, self-contradictory, and old-fashioned. But a thorough investigation shows the opposite. Granted, the Bible is not a science textbook. Yet, when it does touch on subjects relating to science—such as the order in which living things appeared on earth, the shape of the earth, or the proper treatment of infectious diseases—the Bible says nothing incorrect. On the contrary, it contains statements that were centuries ahead of their time. And although the Bible is composed of 66 books written over a period of 1,600 years, all of them are in harmony with one another. Furthermore, the Bible exhibits extraordinary insight into human nature, making it as up-to-date today as ever.

    This remarkable book says something crucial about the worship of God. It says that such worship must be carried out, not on man's terms, but on God's terms. (John 5:30; James 4:13-15; 2 Peter 1:21) But few people have truly observed that principle. From earliest times men have made religions to suit their own purposes. That is true when people carve their gods from pieces of wood and worship them. It is true when religious institutions teach doctrines that they have invented. And is it not also true of those individuals who tailor a private religion to suit their own preferences?

    Consider an alternative. Why not do as a chief justice of the United States Supreme Court did? In the same way that he tried cases in court, he impartially investigated the evidence for and against the truthfulness of the Bible. With what result? He said: "I have come to the decision that the Bible is a supernatural book, that it has come from God."

    How can you make a similar investigation yourself? As a suggestion, you might try a systematic study of the Bible, examining its answers to the questions raised at the outset of this article. There are about six million of Jehovah's Witnesses, in 235 countries, who have made such a study. They volunteer their time in order to share with others what they have learned. The home Bible study course they offer without charge has helped millions to find a faith that is more than a fad or a matter of taste. The true, pure Christianity presented in the Bible is not just another religion. It represents the truth about God and his purposes. So why settle for less?—John 17:17.

    The best way to satisfy your spiritual needs is to learn about God from the Bible and associate with true worshipers

    I wouldn't generalise in this manner. I don't think Christians, or any other group, behave in this way more than anyone else.
