I can believe that Christianity has more than its fair share of bad people, attracted by the Christian promises of easy forgiveness and everlasting life. But I find it impossible to accept that all Christians are bad, or that even a majority of them is.
The classic Christian response to this is that they are all sinners because they commit a sin every time they comfort eat, or think about sex. But doesn't this completely devalue the entire notion of sin and wickedness, placing eating a donut on the same level as raping and murdering a child?
Why should the actions of a child rapist or mass murderer be as easily forgiven as the completely natural act of feeling sexual arousal, which in most people's book isn't a voluntary action, let alone a bad one?
So, unless you are one of the minority of psychopaths among us, liberate yourself from sin and start believing you are a decent, honest person who has been manipulated by a bunch of unscrupulous control freaks.
