Are bad Christians the young Earth creationists who want to abolish science in schools, as well as kill gay people, kill adulterers, kill children who disobey their parents; kill all muslims; who support Trump; are against vaccination?
And are good Christians those like Michael Moore and Stephen Colbert who want gay people to be able to get married, who love science and modern medicine, who don't like Trump?
Who is to say? Certainly I don't see "good" Christians criticizing "bad" Christians.
In all honesty, there are no "good" Christians. Only varying degrees of "bad".
To administer Christian doctrine; aka the Gospel to anyone calling themselves "good" is immediately shot down by Jesus. Even to the point of Him saying that He isn't necessarily included, "Why do you call me good?" There is NONE good but the Father in Heaven." ...and.... "The best on earth (John the Baptist), is the least in Heaven."
So, in all reality. There are no "good" Christians according to Jesus himself! We are in a constant state of "sin". And only through Christ are we redeemed. Man cannot do anything to save himself but to submit to God, and ask for His forgiveness. And that would be pretty much daily!
As ALWAYS the beef is w/ man, and those "using" Christianity as a tool to get what they want. And that includes those [for & against] Christ!
Exhibit one of the sickening misanthropy without which there can be no Christianity.
