“If you don’t believe in my god you will suffer and burn in a lake of fire for all eternity” isn’t exactly a warm-and-fuzzy good thing, is it?

I think a better perspective would be that humans can be pretty awful, regardless of religion. There are always bad apples, but that doesn't mean the whole tree is rotten. True believers who follow Jesus will be preaching and living a life of love, period.

Then they weren't Christians. They may be church goers but don't follow the teachings of Christ.

They may not have been in your presence at the time. It doesn't mean you haven't met any.

See, there's your mistake. You are looking for an organization and not an individual. You said you haven't met any Christians, then you look for an organization.

I didn't get offended. You said you've never met a Christian that follows the teachings of Christ and I said I bet you have.

Not sure how I jumped on you but whatever.

Its not my place to condemn others. She's not a Christian if she's calling others evil, she's just not a nice person insulting someone she doesn't know. She doesn't know what's in their heart.

But we weren't talking about her. We were talking about if you've ever met a Christian or not.

You see, you got me to pass judgment against that woman, I have no right in doing so. Being a Christian is not an easy path but worth it.

Whine? No.

Have I stopped people from abuse in real life from abuse. I have and even at the risk of my own life. We are just having a discussion on an open forum.

I agree with you, and boy howdy do I hope you apply that mindset to the many other hot-button issues that are in the cultural zeitgeist these days.
