Yeh a lot of people are anti-Christian because they see a Christian sin and think they aren't Christian. And then there are the people that think they are better then the "so called Christians". I see that with athesists a lot. They point out the fact that all have fallen short of the glory of God. They point out the Christians sin and that is what makes them less then the unbelievers. Have you ever met an athiest that hasn't tryed to push their belief on others? And yet that is their main complaint with Christians. Athiest like to preach their beliefs while telling Christians they shouldn't push theirs. Like I have said many times in the past. I go to Church because of my sins not because I am sinless. Every Sunday I confess my sins and I'm fogiven. If someone changed the word "Christian" with black,Jap or Arab they would be considered a bigot. If you judge a person,country or religion by what others have done then that person is a bigot. Doesn't an athiest not believe in God? Don't you mean that athiest believe in Jesus the man and not the God? Isn't being a Christian a belief in Christ? JoeC you said, "If many of todays believers knew how unChrist-like their rhetoric and actions were they might understand how anti-christian sentiment grows." As a Christian when I see a Christian sinning I know that I sin and everyone sins and fall short of the glory of God. But when a non Christian sees a Christian sin they hold them to the fire without forgivness. Do they do that because they think they are better then the profest Christian sinner? Or is it because they think a Christian sinner is less then an athiest sinner? No one is perfect and all sin. If an athieist think that because you are a Christian you never sin again then that is the athiests beliefs not the Christians. This is my perspective on said subject. I'm not trying to convert anyone as I know I can't convert anyone. JoeC please know I'm not calling you an athiest or anything. And because I am a Lutheran doesn't mean that I hate all other types of Christians. All I can say is I try to do my best with what God has given me. Do I sin? You bet ya. But I try and do my best and when I fail which I do all the time I ask for forgiveness. I'm sure many of you think I am mean. But I pray for everyone on this blog no matter what their beliefs left or right.
