I think it's the messengers that make it look so bad. A number of them are money grabbers that should be selling used cars. A big time preacher from this area ( now deceased) admitted that while he was going to seminary he helped rob a bank. They present themselves as about the crowd when in actuality many are the scum of society that gravitate to those positions.
The bible based Christian is just one that knows he is lost with out redemption. Generally speaking it is those who don't pretend that they are/can be 'good and decent people.'
