I see a lot questions asking about "true" Christians -posed from atheistic thinkers, the agnostic fellowship and those of other faiths.
I like that. And I understand why so many of the best answers are those that support one's intial theory.
What I don't understand though is this:
If you are able to know what a "true" Christian "should" look like or what a "true" Christian is "not", doesn't that say that you know a lot about what a "true" Christian should be, who Christ was, what He taught and His example to us? If this is the case, what is it about Him and His teachings that you reject? If your answer is based on disbelief of His existence is your reasoning for this line of questioning anything other than seeking opportunity to belittle those who think/believe differently than you or to cause division?
***Please note that I am WELL aware that there are many "Christians" who use Christ as a battering ram.
***I'm trying to understand to build better tolerance and wisdom.
