Real Christians

Real Christians
It it sad to see how common it is that christians dwell in inconsistency:

preach family values, divorce sick wife
preach forgiveness, demand the death penalty
preach charity, denigrate welfare
preach the sanctity of life, bomb other countries
preach abstinence, reject comprehensive sex education

Would the world be better off or worse off if all christians stopped being hypocritical, cherry-picking, and do as the bible says?

Or would a theocratic tyranny damn the world?

They'll go one step further than that.

Preach forgiveness, curse non-believers to a realm of eternal torment and suffering.

Would it be better if people didn't commit to turn their lives around and fail, or is it better never to try?

If the relative harm is greater for one part or the other, we have a factor to focus on.

The problem is that if they wanted to live their life like the bible says, I'm sure they'd pick Leviticus.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

RE: Real Christians
From what Ive seen there is no such thing as a true christian nor practicer of any religion. The pastor at the church im forced to go to doesn't even like me. But their conservative christian's and even though my aunt is half hispanic she looks white. So I get glares for being completely brown and smiles from the blonde girls. Wink Shades

He like's to aim allot of his sermons at me and constantly reffers to me as the guest which is hilarious because Im always there on sunday's and after a year it's kinda pitiful. I am the only outsider at the church, one time there was a black guy but he's not allowed back there. If it wasnt for the non biological family I have, I too would probly not be allowed there.

Then your family needs to have a talk with the church and if the church is not willing to do the right thing and ask God to help them be accepting of all persons, then they should join another church where Christ's love reigns.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

When you say, "a church where christ's love reigns," do you mean the exact same love of the guy who made this quote:
A casual stroll through hell proves that faith is everything. - GOD

Also, where did you get this quote from god? I've never seen that in the bible. Did you get it directly from him? Because you have it grammatically shown as an actual quote.

Also will your god use silly smiley faces when he casts us all into his lake of fire? Devil




LMAO ... "a place where Christ's love reigns" .... LMAO .... what a fucking joke.
