What goes through your mind when someone says, "I'm a Christian?"

[LostOne4Ever]

87. I think, "and you are telling us this why?"

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Christians make up the vast majority of people in America. If you pulled any random person out of a crowd...odds are they are some sort of Christian.

Saying, "I am a Christian" out of the blue or upon meeting someone for the first time is not brave, and does not tell us something unexpected or extra-ordinary about you.

What it comes off to me as is trying to say they are a "REAL" christian. They are serious about their religion where others are not. That they don't care if you are a believer or not and that they are going to inject their faith into every conversation even if it makes you uncomfortable.

Of course, I know that might not always be the case and I still try and be cordial and relate with them, but that is what I think when someone says something like that out of the blue or upon introduction.[/font]
