There are some misconceptions about what it means to be a Christian on a day to day basis. Being a Christian doesn't mean one renounces their humanity. Some people have expectations of Christians based on an idealization: namely - the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus is our example to strive for, but there is only one Christ, and no Christian is perfect.
We are no holier than anyone else and just as human as everyone. We make mistakes and have regrets just like everyone. We laugh, tell jokes, have a sense of humour, and even have our sensual sides, enjoying the physical pleasures with our spouses--we view it as a gift from God. We also try to learn from our mistakes and appreciate that we can learn from others, including others of different beliefs. Personally, I enjoy the respectful sharing that comes from interaction with others.
Please consider then, what is the accurate perception of a Christian and if you think I am correct in my statements. :)
