Now Chad, these are the qualities that describe most of the christians I know or have ever known.
Actually some of those are qualities which describe the god of the bible. Namely hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, self-ambition, and envy. So why does God hold us to a higher standard than he himself can fit?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
