I don't have a problem with Christianity. It has some great tenets--if people followed them. I follow many of them myself, and I'm not a Christian. The problem is that all of the Christians I personally know are the most two-faced hypocritical people ever. They hate other people, plot against them, are quick to anger, and slow to forgive--if they forgive at all. This is not meant to be a condemnation of a whole religion...it's just my experience. For example, a Christian is supposed to love their enemies and bless those that curse them. Anyone ever see that actually happen? I do live by that philosophy, and it works. But I have not personally met one Christian in my lifetime who remotely followed that. Christians give Christianity a bad name. They want conversions, but instead of leading by example, they actually do the opposite and push people away. Seeing this kind of behavior really turns me off to Christianity and makes me never want to embrace it. Once again, this has just been my experience, so don't take it as a blanket condemnation--but of all the many Christians I know, none are humble--they are self-righteous and holier-than-thou. Just wanted to get that off my chest.------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."
