Does Beileving in Christ Make You a Better Person?

Question

I've seen lots of posts on here abt how christ will make u a better person and all that trash. I want other ppls opinion. (I think its trash.)

Comments

as Christians you should be more loving kind and forgiving. it does not necessarily make you a better person.

---

but you should try to do better

Answer 1

It does not make you a better person however, i'm a christian myself and I believe that you should love God and you should also be kind to everyone around you

Answer 2

Christ will automatically make you a person that actually trys to be better and do the right thing but I'm not saying that you can't be a good person without God, following God just makes it easier

Answer 3

No.

Believing in Christ does not make you a better PERSON.

Is your spirit better? Yeah.

But your actions define how good of a PERSON you are.

If you believe in God, and just go around throwing rocks at toddlers, you’re not a good person.

If you don’t believe in God, but you help people in need and are generally kind, you are a good person.

Answer 4

Thank you for asking this question so nicefuly and respectfuly. 

Anyway im a Christian and i dont think beliving in christ makes us a better person, its what we do and say is what makes us who we are. I can tell a lot about what type of person you are from how you worded that question

Oi again Swole Shrek!

Just wanted to know what you identified as because I don't know how to refer to you and I don't just want to assume 

Answer 5

As a part Christian(meaning I am not a total Christian because I still celebrate Halloween and all that) I think believing in Christ makes you a good person, not necessarily better, because some people who do not believe in God can still be good people they just don't believe in Him.

Btw, Doggowaggo, it would have been better if you hadn't referred to it as "trash" because that might be offensive to the people that made those posts.

There is no such thing as a part Christian your either Christian or not.

Um.....yes there is

---

No there is no in between. You either have the holy spirit or you don't.

---

Uh.......

Answer 6

i dont belive in anything and i think im a good person :)

Answer 7

Following your religion can help you become a better person, but it dosen't make you better than anyone else inherently. Being religious dosen't make you superior to anyone else.

I like your style, Pumpkin

So now you’re saying that non-religious people are worse than religious people?

---

When I said that religion can help you become a better person, I meant that you can use it to make positive changes in your life. Obviously, you can use religion to do bad stuff, too. It all depends on how you use it. 

So now you’re saying that non-religious people are worse than religious people?

I made it very clear that religious people aren't superior to anyone in my answer.

I got messaged on Discord last week by a devout Christian. For the next 3.5 hours, I had the time of my life. I'd post screenshots (blocking out names obviously) but I can't paste screenshots into KidzTalk for some odd reason.

---

Yeah, for some reason it says that exceeds the character limit.

Answer 8

religion does not make u a good or bad person i do believe in God and forgiveness of sins I believe that by following the bible and the path he has made for us will help us to be better people but in fairness it things like love your nabor as yourself and to expect people and love them even if you don't believe what they are doing is right in his eyes forgive and forgive as long as air still comes in and out of your lungs u don't have to be someone's friend you don't even have to like them but you do have to be kind to them and forgive them as God has forgiven you he sent his son to die to save us and to forgive us if he can do that we can forgive each other u can say u are a certain religion but you can still be a bad person u must be a good person and religion can set a path but it's up to u to follow it

Comments

Sorry this was late, what I meant was that your answer was very hard to use my reading comprehension skills on.

so true

Answer 9

I don't really care that much what people choose to believe in. However, if they use their beliefs to harass and make others feel unwanted, I care.

Being a good person is about how you yourself act, not Christ.

You aren't going to a bad place because you don't believe the same things they do. Just respect others and they will respect you back (hopefully)

If you believe in religion, then thats awesome. Don't let anyone tell you that its wrong or that you shouldnt. If you don't believe in religion, that's also awesome. Just don't be disrespectful and let people do what they want.

Also I love your user! Want to be friends? :D

Answer 10

I don't care about their belief. I care about how they use it.

Most of the people I've witnessed use it as justification for doing unjust things. It's not right.

You're not going to hell because you don't believe in their religion.

You aren't sinning for loving someone (or not loving someone at all). That's the experience we came here to have.

Everything is gravy and no one is going anywhere adverse because of some words from a thousands of years old book.
