Do Non-Christians see people as looking older than they are? (beliefs, spiritual)

[Richmonder27]

This is a question more about perception than anything else. I just notice that non-Christians judge people's appearance a lot more harshly and tend to see people looking ollder or sometimes even less attractive than they truly are. I myself usually guess people's ages that they are younger than they are


But non-Christians tend to exaggerate certain things and guess way off or older. Do you think this has to do with a spiritual type of blindness? I guess to me, most people look youthful and good in their prime. And I dont think obesity makes people look older either. In fact, I think overweight people look younger.

Has anyone experienced this? Most Christians think I am about 17 or 18 years old. I am actually 30. But non Christians see me around my age, or even a little older.

I feel this is a distorted perception by the enemy.

I think you are at least 194 years old based on your belief that non-Christians are the "enemy." I haven't heard that type of terminology EVER in my 35 years as a Jew.

I never said Non-Christians are the enemy. By "enemy" I mean the devil.

I don't think religion beliefs have anything to do with it. I think it's mostly how people see themselves.

I'm hoping the OP is speaking metaphorically, in some way that I just don't understand.

Do you really believe that the devil comes along and makes people look older to non-Christians? Really?

i would love to go one step further and ask the op if he put brain in gear before starting this thread.

and obviously ticking of enough automatic responses (imho).

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the op calls non-Christians blinds for correctly guessing his age?

Also, it seems like the devil makes you thin

hey preppie, with your present status, you can't tell age from flying a wide body ...

[Boxcar Overkill]

Yeah, it was odd that he said the Christians guessed way wrong, but everyone else got close or a little older. But everyone else was demon possessed or something. Odd.

[Reverend1111]

Also odd is that believers and non-believers always guess my age wrong. Always 10 years younger! Gotta love that!!
