This won't do them any good on judgment day.

I don't use that as a "crutch" at all. I simply do not believe in Jesus, based on my own investigation and study.
There is no historical evidence that there ever was a man even remotely like the biblical Jesus.
Having studied Judaism for many years, I came to the realization that the jewish god is in no way, shape or form the christian god.
And, I could go on, but there isn't any point. You've proven by your question that you use insults as your "crutch" because you have no other leg to stand on.

I think you are giving Christians a bad name don't lash out at Non-Christan's or try to force feed them anything try to understand them and just let them be or they just get the wrong idea and start to hate Christianity.
Many do complain about hypocrites but you can argue that for everything and there is usually other reasons which have made them choose not to believe.

i'm a christian who doesnt attend church because of the hypcrites. The reason people arent becoming chrisitans is because of so many christians!" there are many chrisitans out there living christian lives, and we need to remind non christians that we, as christians are all in different stages of development too, learning, changing etc is a process. However I have to say there's not much hope for this world unless christians get their acts together.
harsh but true.

I'm an ex-christian, so I can call them hypocrites all I want. It's not a crutch. I've seen their love and compassion. It's non existent.

I thought it was religious people who needed crutches. I see many hypocrites in my familty. I am much too good to go to a place that acts as if such evil people are righteous just because they attend church and put much money in collection plates. My oldest sister sits in church 3 times a week, and she has stolen form me and our siblings, slandered us, tried to blackmail people and even slyly tried to kill realtives to get their money. Mom is not safe around her. Such a person is evil, even if she lives in church, and no one can tell me any different. She is one good reason to stay away from her church. Preachers spouting illogical stuff is another, even if everyone behaved as well as I do.

To call myself Christian would be a lie. Since when is avoiding being a liar considered a crutch?

I think if a person does not have a desire to become a Christian, that is personal choice, not a crutch.

We don't. No one needs any kind of a crutch to "not become" a Christian. hypocrisy is one of the smallest problems within that religion.

We don't. We just point out the fact that Christians are great at being hypocrites.

I don't need any excuse to not be a Christian. That's asinine. I point out hypocricy among Christians, because Christianity itself criticizes hypocricy.
