Half the reason I've made it through the hells of my life is because of my faith. Any person that says they are a Christian can't take that label lightly. You can't pick and choose based on what suits you. For instance, you can't say you are pro-life and expect to use Christianity as backing if you support the death penalty.
There are so many things to go on for this but the biggest thing I see from the ones I speak of is this. You look at every focus that carries Christian ideas with them and it's always about what others do and not what they can do or should do. Everything is more of a focus against what others do. Maybe they forget that the Bible tells us that we are not the ones that can condemn them for sin. Casting shadows of guilt seems to be these types modus operandi.
Well said. I agree with most of you post. I disagree that one can be anti-abortion and support the death penalty. Abortion involves the taking of a life that has never committed a mortal sin or harmed anyone or anything. Conversely the death penalty is the taking of a life that has committed a mortal sin and taken the life of another. There are many references in the bible supporting the death penalty. But each must worship and lead life as one believes.
I don't jihad, I crusade. Also, it's called Canon Law. Sharia is for the damn Muslims.

Their language, their attitudes towards others, their lack of following the teachings of Jesus. I’m no longer a Christian, but I know those who follows Christ, like my parents, are a true example of Christianity and many of those on here, who claim to be Christians, do not act like Jesus.

You are a Christian in the same way that my mother was. She taught Sunday School for decades. One of the tenets of her own faith was not to worry about what other ppl were doing; focus on your own behavior and relationship with God, and thereby be an example to others.
