I would go so far to say: Most Christians are decent people!
At least where I am from.

No, there aren't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yep, most people are okay and all Christians are people. The Christians we tend to have in mind when we rant are the ones who rant at us or about us, it's easy to forget the silent majority who just want to make a living, enjoy their families, and don't see why they should make a big fuss about some people being different from them if they're not hurting anybody.

Haha wow who knew there were decent Christians? But really, I would say most Christians are cool people, they just need to look at their beliefs a little more skeptically IMO

That's a WIN in my book

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Well they are decent because they are not following scripture. Last I checked homosexuals where to be stoned. So, either throw rocks or cannabis at them.
