I have done my best since I started hanging out with you kids to show what Christianity really stands for. I have admitted when I have no satisfactory answer for questions.
I have supported my stances with both the Bible and with practical examples from real life.
I have dropped the heavy end down on dozens of other Christians when their behavior was totally out of line.
I have never claimed that I am right and everyone else is wrong; I have actually acknowledged the undeniable fact that someone out there has to be wrong.
This last idiot has just started making me feel a little self-conscious. There's a few of us on here who really got our acts together, but too many of the people claiming to be Christians are like dear Brother Sam.
Have I done a good enough job of showing that not ALL Christians are like that? Are there enough of us here to make you all think that there's some good left in Christianity?

Brother Sam is only one example of the kind of "Christians" you guys know I'm talking about.

I like you (and think you're a reasonable human being), and I think Brother Sam is a troll and not a Christian at all. At least, I hope not.

Some people are idiots. That's just the way it is. Your answers are usually thoughtful and that's all anyone can ask. A few people, however, can't answer for a religion. That holds true of both the good folks and the bad folks. All you can do is judge the religion based upon your understanding of it.
But you do shine well on Christians as a group.
Keep on, keepin' on,

Brother Sam is from the extreme wing that includes the Westboro Baptist Church. They are Christian in name only. If more of the Christians condemned the unfounded hate as you just did, R&S would be a lot less divisive.

the place do you get your education? on no account off the information superhighway... My study, as a non secular historian, proves each little thing you have mentioned fake... no longer purely did the Nicean Council meet to vote on the gospels of the bible, they purposely chosen gospels that supported their declare of Jesus as a Messiah. in fact, despite if or no longer Jesus could be uncomplicated or metaphysical became a VOTE administered to the individuals of the council. They then, with their new vote for a metaphysical being, had to regulate gospels to help their claims. This blanketed brushing aside, as an occasion, the gospel of Thomas, which attracts 60% of its writings from the gospel of Q. And what does the gospel of Q entail? That Jesus became basically a sage. He became not extra important than you and that i. there became 50 years of VERBAL historic previous following Jesus' death. What became written first became of purely Jesus' teachings. It became then that separate communities further context to those teachings with the intention to function metaphysical factors to him. So why is this all important to the Nicean Council? through fact those gospels contradicted what they have been attempting to sell...they should not be blanketed and have been for that reason voted out via the council. If purely Christians knew how their faith became based....

Some people come here and act out just because they think they are going to "Shock" some Christians; especially the porn guys. I think most people already know that and that they are not Christians.

I'm like you - nothing like Brother Sam. Whether or not he's a Christian in real life - he isn't acting like one here.

I don't know Brother Sam. But what I will tell you is that when I need some advice, I turn to God. I have an in built need to have his approval. So I weigh the matter upon Him. It helps to keep me from being weary with well doing.

A Christian is a person who has received the love of Jesus in their heart by repentance of sin and continues to love God
and everyone no matter who they are unconditionally.And to obey the Holy Spirit by putting what Jesus wants you to do before what you want to do.It is a way of life.Not a religion.

If you're so fussed about it then why call yourself christian at all?
You can keep your god-loving alive without applying such hate-inspiring titles to yourself.
