You have not disproved any of my claims nor have you said anything worth addressing. You keep just repeating that I'm not the arbiter of determining who is Christian and who isn't, but I never claimed to be. I've simply observed a separation from what once was to what is now. A change in methods of worship, beliefs and behaviors requires a change in the name of said believers. Christians are no longer Christian.
We have gone from stoning adulterers and burning heretics and exiling pagans to now politely disagreeing with one another on the internet. Times have changed. I'm not sure what's so hard to grasp about this. I know you're not the most particularly intelligent individual on here, but wow.
That you're going to sit there and try to say that the Christians of today are like the Christians of then is insane. So I hope that's not what you're claiming. Whatever the case may be, certainly Christians today are nothing like what they were then. So whatever your view of what a Christian is today, it's certainly vastly different from what it was then. End of story. Not sure how you could even argue otherwise.
You want to paint this as impossible to define, and it isn't. You don't want this conversation to exist for some reason. I'm unsure why. You want the idea of "good" or "bad" Christians to be impossible to pin down and that's simply not the case. There are people who follow the teachings and people who do not. And considering most people couldn't tell you a single Bible verse from memory, let alone actually claim to be knowledgeable in its teachings, most people are bad Christians.
You want so bad for this not to be true, and I'm really curious as to why. You really do seem like you're a christian pretending to be an atheist on an atheist forum. It's very bizarre. This isn't the first time someone's noticed this, either.
Until you have something worth reading, the conversation's over.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
