Oh I forgive Christians, what I have a hard time with are those who live sheltered lives, go to church every Sunday, pat themselves on the back for a job well done, then continue through the week treating others like dirt neither adhering to Christ’s teachings, yet because they go to church they get a pass. You wonder why so many people have fell away from the church, well, you can blame the Jim Bakers, Pat Robertsons, and the Schullers who build elaborate monuments to God off the backs of their flocks, Jesus was born in a manager not a mansion!

As far as ministers, they tend to place themselves above their flock as if they are a direct link to God, they are not, we all have a direct line to God, even a porn star! We have a minister here in town a “Christian” as it were his whole family including his kids drive Corvettes, they profit off the back of their flock, yes, I’m judging him, should I, no, I will tell you one thing, I have more respect for a porn star trying to find Jesus than that minister who feels he can interpret Jesus’s word while profiting off the backs of his flock!

And you know NOTHING about any of the FReepers to whom you are talking, and whom you are judging and about whom you are making these baseless assumptions.

You are worse than those you are condemning. You are a hypocrite.

So, you have a criteria by which you judge Christians?
