Yeah, I don't think they ever ask why. But that gives us an excuse never to have to tell them the Gospel.
Christians may have an obligation to self-examine but only the Holy Spirit can convict us and only He can change us. But the Holy Spirit works through other Christians who are discerning enough to see where we are failing-- unless they are more worried about offending us then they are about helping us grow in Christ.

But . . . but what about . . . "love 'em 'till they ask you why?" I get you, Sonj. I think the other part of it, is the Christian has an obligation to self examine and change. The world likes to see this as weakness and throw it in our face. It's a double edged sword. BTW, I've never had anyone ask me why. I have always had to tell people that I'm a Christian, because I guess I'm not that Christ-like :)

I've been told more than once that "You're not like other Christians." I've come to realize that all this means is that that person doesn't know very many Christians. The Christians they "know" are the Hollywood and MSM stereotypes. This is understandable, I guess. The trouble is then I go to church and hear a pastor and my fellow Christian parishioners say "We're not like those Christians" and realize that they're talking about the same stereotype.
