To say that an entire group of people are horrible based on the mistakes of a few is bigotry- no matter how you look at it. I think its sad that if one, two or three Christians make a mistake all Christians are horrible. That's like saying all men are bad just because a few don't know how to treach a woman.......
It's unjust to say that all Christians are wretched just because they may not belive the way you do. There are groups out there that want equality. If you're a part of that group then YOU yourself need to show that same equality to others that believe differently than you. Even the majority of Christians don't speak for the entire group. A few bad apples should not spoil the bunch. The same way every white person doesn't speak for me. Or every female doesn't feel the same way I do. Or every 30 year old doesn't act the way I do.
Our nation is too sensitive. The media feeds off of it.
No matter how you look at it sin is sin. No matter how you look at it wrong is wrong. The problem is....we don't know right from wrong anymore.
Christianity gets the minority vote. Shoot most people don't even feel that Christmas is a Christian holiday.
I'm sick and tired of all the bickering.
I'm sick and tired of the comments such as "yeah those so called Christians don't know how to be nice, forgiving or take care of one another." Well, then how about YOU step up and be nice, forgiving and loving. Quit worrying so much about what EVERYONE else is doing or not doing because they are of a certain religion, sexuality, sex- WHATEVER the case may be.
This is how I see it. A nurse isn't going to do everything she needs to do during her shift 100% of the time, a cashier isn't going to smile and be friendly to every single person that walks through her line, I'm not going to give all my change to the Salvation Army every time I walk into Wal-Mart, a postal worker isn't going to deliver every piece of mail in perfect condition, a boss is going to do something wrong, a preacher is subject to sin, a teacher may not always be right.........You get the freaking point. STOP EXPECTING THE IMPOSSIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO HUMANS!
Let me think- I curse, I yell at people on the road because I have road rage, I drink wine from time to time, I forget to pray sometimes, if you see me out at Wal-Mart I might be grouchy especially if I didn't sleep good- I could think of MILLIONS of things that I do wrong. BUT DOES that make me a horrible person?? NO! Should I be damned because I believe in God but don't act perfect- NO. It makes me human! Do I think I am "holier than thou" because I'm a born again Christian. No -I think I am blessed, forgiven, thankful and I know that every day I am going to SUCK at something! But you know what- I'm going to grow from every mistake. Every day I'm going be stronger, wiser and better.
My point is- that no one, regardless of race, religion, sex, age- is perfect. Only God was perfect. And for anyone to expect an entire group of people to be perfect is insane. EVERYONE is going to make mistakes. But mistakes don't make an entire group of people hate mongerers or "high and mighty" or "holier than thou".
STOP! STOP fighting, fussing, blaming, pointing your finger, or WHATEVER it is that you're doing that is causing so much HATE in this WORLD! TAKE CONTROL OF YOU. YOU be nice, you say thank you and you're welcome and excuse me. If you feel that a certain group of people are bad then don't stoop to that level. Love them, show them kindness, show that YOU are a good person. AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING WRONG!!!! Because guess what Im not perfect, you're not perfect---it is what it is. But today is a brand new day and I personally am going to do what I can to be a good person. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
