Isn't the naiveté of a Christian to think that their particular case should be universal?
God's existence seems to be clear and obvious to many Christians, so they think it should be the same clear to the rest of mankind, and it's actually your fault if you don't let "God/Jesus in your heart"."God won't force Himself in you", bla, bla...
Doesn't anybody else find this attitude somehow naive and arrogant? Isn't like saying: I see God, you don't, it's your fault, for closing yourself to God?

I'm pretty sure there's a name for that in psychology (when a person thinks that other people must think and feel the way they do)
That religious mindset is a result of ignorance and stupidity... which religion itself perpetuates. It's a terrible cycle.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard Christians say "everyone knows Christianity is true, it's only a matter of whether they submit to God". It's so utterly ridiculous.
when someone says god i think-money,torture,inquisition and that he lives in clouds. Well yes i do, most of religions are based on traditions therefore people are naive because they don't think it has all been thought centuries ago. People who follow feelings and not logics tend to be srsly unstable but not that arrogant.
I find it difficult to distinguish between that attitude and the behaviour displayed by people have a psychotic episode. It is so obvious to them that god / the devil / aliens are talking to them or that everyone around them has it in for them. Sound familiar?
We haven't seen any that have said that. The truth is that the natural mind alone cannot grasp or begin to comprehend God. It takes God the Holy spirit indwelling us, leading us and acting as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual to do so.
I, too, find it naive and arrogant.
But it's true of almost all religions, they all claim to have the "one true god(s)" and to be the "one true religion." It's been true of almost all of the thousands of gods/religions invented by men throughout history.
Every religion is like an exclusive club, and the members of that club are always trying to impose their beliefs on everyone else.
Of course, but good luck finding a Christian who is reflective enough to not want to impose their ideas upon all of society.
In all things, there is just one truth
It is naive and foolish to think the truth is affected by your sensibilities
100 out of 100 peope who jump off a cliff without a parachute will meet the sudden stop at the end.
It is difficult to know the mind of a fool
well it also seems a bit arrogant when people claim there's no evidence of God but they will only accept evidence on their terms not on God's.
As stated in Scripture: in the End Times, the enemy will "blind" those who are in doubt of God and His Son..............
