I am a very peaceful person, but the only people that make my blood sizzle are bullies who pushed their victims to suicide, murderers, especially those who kill innocent children, and genocide leaders, and I see them on Youtube and the news all the time. It's sad, really.
Oh, and also mad/rude people

I think that if christians took their bibles as seriously as they would have others believe - there would be alot less cherry picking and more attention given to the " hard sayings" of Jesus - for example loving your enemies and turning the other cheek while at the same time being as shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.Supernatural living isn't about blasting a trumpet and being a self appointed John the Baptist - it's about doing ordinary things with excellence and often going against the grain of our natural inclinations.
Loving ones enemies is counter intuitive - yet so radical in a selfish, sinful ,self interested " what's in it for me?" world that it has in fact drawn many formerly devout Muslims to Christ.
Another point I would like to make in response to the OP is that there is no need to conform to the lowest common denominator - ie.we can learn from a negative example and then just dig our heels in and rebel against the status quo ......by imitating Christ all the more ,who was subject only to God - yet whose love tempered with shrewdness and uncanny insight into the human heart revolutionized the world.
It is my firm belief that christians should be agitators - not through their rudeness, stupidity or bad habits but through their sterling character which is often an indictment on the lukewarm/ sloppy believer or unregenerate person.

I do not have a problem with people, as long as they are listening, it is when
their lips move that it all goes to pot.
If you were ever single in your 20's and then got married you will know
compromise comes hard. Inside ones head everything is fine, and whatever you
do is the way it should be done.
Come face to face with another style, or that is not like "I" want it, OCD kicks in.
One of my daughters, when they were a few months old liked everything to be the
same as it always was the day before. One small change and they wanted to know
why. It was probably insecurity, linked to I am safe if nothing moves.
So I think naturally we know change is a threat, the unknown. One girl who is quite
autistic, is find if people explain everything about who is in the room and why, and what
is going to happen.
And when you learn each person looks out of their eyes just like I do, and wonders what
the day might bring, with a little bit of fear and worry.
When we walk with Christ and put our trust in Him, and pain no longer matters, we expect
it, and know His healing, so much changes. But it is hard, it is where walking with an
open heart begins. To get Christ and the cross inside is complex and unexpected.
I was once enthusiastic about sharing and being open, sat next to this lady and talked about
the wonder of Christ and his message. She had just lost her husband, 8 weeks before.
So out of this pain, she spoke, in a way I knew the pain, and how she felt I was wrong, but
not in words. I felt hurt and closed up. Opps. I should have reached out and given comfort
and met her need, but I did not understand what was going on.
Now 20 years on, we have shared, and she knows our love.
But it is a hard road to walk, to mourn with those that mourn and rejoice with those that rejoice.

What really gets me is overbearing people. People who just can't keep their mouth shut and always have to throw their not always polite opinion in. People who tell you what to do and exactly how to do it even when the matter has absolutely nothing to do with them. People who always have to stick their nose in everyone's business and get on their case whenever they don't agree with them.
Trying not to get too irritated while I type this, but I just want to slap those types of people. With a two by four.

People that don't use common sense really get on my nerves. I also get annoyed by overly spiritual people. Like they use God for every single thing. I'll just use the Super Bowl for example, and some Christian Patriot fans are praising God for the win.. As if God really had a rooting interest. Or thinking that God is behind every single thing that happens in life, like He's pulling strings.. people seem to forget that maybe things just happen because it's life? I could go on.
I have a problem with unrepentant liars, and people who twist the truth for
their own nefarious gain. People who are liars are incapable of getting along
with others, and sometimes their dishonesty affects me, but it is not my
responsibility to try to force them into telling the truth, which they are loathe
to do anyways, in their state of being so attached to the lies they tell. It is kind
of a vicious circle which I try to stay out of. It cannot however always be avoided,
but once you come to know who the repeat liars are, it is a lot easier to deal with
them, or avoid them, or take measures against them, whatever the case may be.
God is very much concerned with truth and justice. Liars care for neither.

I have never gotten along well with people who endlessly push their religion on me or their views and I am talking about the ones who show no respect for your own beliefs. They disregard you or your feelings in order to tell you what is to them the truth. I understand the need to tell people the good word but there is a right and wrong way to do everything.
