its all about the bragging to them, but they never back it up with actions.

Show me one faith that it's followers truly "walk the walk" I have yet to see any professed religious person follow all of their religious teachings devoutly......unfortunately we all follow those teachings in our religion that best suit us....from the small things to the big things..... but above all everyone should keep this in mind.... it matters not what others believe, but what you believe.....and "judge ye not lest ye be judged".

You are absolutely right. I am so glad you asked that question. Christianity is the one true faith. Those that are christians follow the example of Christ in a real way, not phony. If you know someone with a profession of being a christian without walking the walking then they are not real christians but phonies. Real Christians walk the walk and talk the talk. Real Christians do not have to brag about anything. The life they live speaks for them. If someone has to verbally tell you they are saved from sin then most of the time they are just putting on a front to look good. Don't be fooled by those that profess without possessing a saved life. Jesus said: If you love me keep my commandments (John 14:15). How many people are keeping the commandments that you know of? If they live a sin free life they are keeping the commandments. Jesus said: Whosoever commiteth sin is of the devil (I John 3: 4-10). Talk is cheap the scripture says: By their fruit you'll know them. Don't get caught up in what people say, watch how they act and it will tell you what they really are, a sinner or a saint. We cannot be both. Consider your own soul God loves you!

Hmmm, I always find it interesting how a non-Christian can so vainly presume what it means to 'walk the walk.'
It is so funny that as Christians we are told we will be persecuted for our beliefs and the way we live. We are blessed by that persecution because it means we are walking the walk just as we should. So thank you to all who choose to laugh, scorn and tell us how awful we are because we believe in God.
So to all of the non-Christians out there, please just keep the jabs and jeers coming because as you do, you heap blessing on top of blessing upon the Christians!
Matthew 5
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Not bragging, weeping. We do walk the walk and the walk is one of tears as we mourn our sins. Yet we have the greatest joy and hope because the walk has been walked for us by Jesus. That is why we need a Savior because we can't do it.
Praise the Lord for His saving us wretched sinners

The only way to evaluate a religion is to study it from its sources - to analyze a religion based on its followers' behaviors is unscientific because you can't account for so many other factors like media, culture, personality etc. etc. all of which have effects

Those who lean unto there own understanding of scripture are leading others astray and blinded by their "pride!" But this has to occur for the Kingdom of God is coming to this earth and establish His way as the only way.
Pride is man's downfall. The End of the circle of man's self rule will be the beginning of Christ's Kingdom but that "pride" must be broken first!

Why do not you try to walk that walk and then you understand more why.
We all fall short from the glory of God, and some fall harder than others. We Christians are not going to go to heaven because we are good or better than non-believers of Jesus. We go to heaven because we WANT to follow Jesus, who was perfect. We go to heaven because we understand that we need Jesus to save us, and we could not make it without Him. We are going to heaven because we are forgiven.
We are not bragging. And if I was you, I would not use Never that loosely. : )

I fail to see the connection. A professing Christian not living like a Christian should, harldly invalidates the faith. That's like saying that a father who doesn't act like a father is no longer related to the child.

We all fall short of the glory of God. None of us are perfect. Being able to walk the walk isn't a prerequisite of being a christian. That's why God sent us Jesus so that all we needed to go to heaven was faith not perfection.

NEVER generalize..I wonder If you believe in Allah Akbar, how come you haven't came across the shown attitude toward Christians in particular written in the Holy Qu'ran??
Why so mass and biased approach toward all Christians?
