Being apart of christianity does not make one a Christian. That title is not something we elect for ourselves by our deeds or adherence to the rules of a given religion. It is a gift given to us by God based on the condition of our heart.
Do you not realize how arrogant and condescending these statements are? Anyone who isn't a Christian anymore wasn't really a Christian, but you, you are definitely the real deal. You know nothing of anyone's background beyond the fact that they used to be Christians and the only thing you can say is 'you weren't doing it right.'
Weren't you the one saying something about dignity and respect? Where is the respect in your judmental assumptions?
