Isn't prayer a contradiction?

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.

Yes, most christians that I know somehow seem to think that "good" and "christian" should always be mentioned together, and are perhaps even synonymous.

The "no true christian" phrase seems to be the fall-back position that every christian (or muslim, or whatever) takes when they disagree with the views of another christian. "You're no true christian, but I will pray that you become one".
