Sure everyone's human, but I'm talking about people who adopt a "holier than thou" attitude and then do something incredibly scandelous....something that you would never do?

The "holier than thou" morons are normally on the Christian side....so yes, it's quite unchristian, but quite fun too!

You mean something you would never do unless you were caught. From my understanding of the Christian religion, you're only moving up in the queue in the "Hellbound" line by asking this question. Certainly not "holier than thou" as I will be your bartender if you make it to the Southside of Hell, but only if you arrive on a Harley. Until you have taken a "balls up" dare yourself, you haven't an inkling of the darker capabilities of the human race including the legal profession which proclaims Daniel Webster as professor emeritus. LMAO! You also haven't grasped the meaning of Easter or Passover as taught by Christians and Jews.

Yes absolutely. By doing so you also are doing the same exact thing and adobting the "holier than though" attitude yourself.
It is NOT Christ like to be judgmental and condemning. Therefore it is indeed "un-Christian" like. Christ's character is loving, forgiving, caring, and good, in complete purity.
Remember, all of use are equal in sin and none is better or worse than the next. We must embrace and uphold our brothers and sisters so that they might be less prone to fail to temptation again... not attack and condemn.

It's un-Christian to take pleasure in anybodys demise regardless of whether they "deserved" it or not.
And by saying "something that you would never do" puts you in a holier than thou position. Peace :-)

The virtue of charity would not allow for us to gloat over the stupity of a fallen Christian, the person may very well by their fall come to realize their sin and experience true humility.
Pride usually comes before a fall for all of us.

Yes, it is unchristian.
"it (love) does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth."
1 Cor 13: 6
If an attitude is not loving, it is unchristian

Don't be sure that you will never do what that individual have done. It makes one want to rejoice, yes, but it is not right, because even if one may not do the same thing, one is still guilty of sin, which is equal in God's eyes.

As long as it done in moderation. God loves a good laugh too. Unlike God, we are imperfect and make mistakes so don't enjoy too much for we may be in the same position some day.

That's a good question. I've wondered about that. I arrived at the theory that you should just feel sorry for them for not having learned their lesson by now. And be grateful that you konw more than them.

Human nature revels in another's well-deserved misery.
Divine nature seeks to reconile the sinner to God.
