Many on here have but at least 75% say horribly hateful things, they aren't representing their so called 'faith' very well.

Maybe what you're saying is also exceptionally nasty.
But one thing I would like to point out, not because I'm being hateful, but because illogic bugs me:
The term "hypocrite" means that someone preaches something and then does something else, correct? So if a Christian preaches love but does hate, they are a hypocrite, correct?
But since when does someone failing to uphold a standard mean the standard is wrong?
Look at it this way: People shouldn't murder. But some people do murder. Therefore, murder is okay? No.
Likewise: some people preach Christianity. Some (technically, all) people fail to live up to Christianity. Therefore, Christianity is wrong? No.
Think about this a little bit, and know that Christianity says we are all sinners who will fail to hold up to God's standard--most especially including Christians.

God might love you, I guess, but I'm just sick of bashers and trolls. I really wish they'd get rid of you guys. I do feel sorry for you though, can't imagine spending my life bashing others beliefs for kicks. Maybe if parents didn't let their kids spend so much time on the internet, there wouldn't be this problem. I'm guessing most of you aren't 15 years old yet. I mean, face it, its not exactly a logial thing to do with your time.

Yes, unfortunately Christians do not instantaneously embody the virtues taught by Christ (eg Matthew 5). "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick." (Luke 5: 31)
It would certainly help the sick Christians if people would stop deliberately poking them in their wounds. Why not try strengthening their weak spiritual immune systems rather than passing more sickness onto them?
sickness, wounds = hatred, doubt, fear, despair
spiritual immune system = faith, love and inspiration

I'm a devout believer of God but I call you a spineless little worm for putting up such a hateful posting that has no meaning and its only purpose is to provoke anger and resentment.

Actually Christians, don't need to respond to hateful words, it's not manditory, especially if they are being said as a mockery, in an attempt to make some silly point. Christian doesn't = Doormat.
Be blessed =)

Who exactly are you to judge what a Christian SHOULD do, since you hate them so much and don't believe in the bible.
It annoys me when people try and hold me to a standard that they themselves do not believe in or hold to.

well, I am a Christian, not an xian, so I don't know what xians are supposed to say. But Christians should turn the other cheek.

What makes you think they are genuine, born again Christians? There are many who are just Christian in name only.

Only if we believe in milktoast Jesus, or spineless Jesus. Did you never read what Jesus had to say to the religious hypocrites of His day? Here's a sample:
Mat 23
Woe to you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!...(v13)
Woe to you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!... (v 14)
Woe to you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!...(v15)
Woe unto you, ye blind guides...(v16)
Ye fools and blind...(v17)
Ye fools and blind...(v19)
Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!...(v23)
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. (v24)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!(v25)
Ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. (v31)
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. (v32)
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (v34)
Jesus does not require us to be spineless ones who never reprove. If you are smarting a bit, try sinning less and you will get verbally spanked less.

God loves you. Jesus loves you. Jesus died for you, so that you might live. I will show my love by praying for you.
