Isn't prayer a contradiction?

Most of my Christian friends are just like that. The only difference is that's basically what they think to themselves and amongst them selves but they'd serve a more subtle platitude. But if they told me that, the only reply I'd give is "damn straight and damn proud!".

I'm sure you've noticed this to but I see a very disturbing problem with the "no true Christian" part. They have it in their heads that everyone should be Christian because that means you're loving and considerate and stuff.. and all the good people they know (by their own bigoted judgement) are all Christians.
