EXACTLY. Haven't met an atheist and non-Christian yet who doesn't claim HE knows what being a "real" Christian should look like even though it always requires totally re-interpreting Christian doctrine to suit his own agenda. Oddly enough, it is an arrogance they never adopt when discussing ANY non-Christian religion.
Interesting take on that. As a Christian who walked away from the church (but not Christ's teachings) I will speak on behalf of secularists on this. What pisses us off about Christians is their interpretations of the Bible that assault the ethics and morals of anyone outside of their own sect.
AllieBaba was explaining to us on another thread that she is mandated to judge non-Christians by the Bible and that during the second coming of Christ she (all other true believers) will be tasked with judging the rest of us.
That is simply inaccurate and egotistical, not to mention insulting.
I have heard so many interpretations of the Bible that it leads me to reject it. How can a book that people claim is the word of God bring so much pain, bloodshed and division? It is not the word of God, it is the words of men. And that is why Christians are hypocritical.
They want to save baby's from abortions (actually, they are saving fetus' from abortion and I have stated that no one knows when a fetus becomes human and has consciousness) and they will kill adults to do so.
They feel homosexuality is a sin and punishable by brutal intervention, if not death.
Hmmm, double standards are no way to win the hearts and minds of non-Christians or even moderate Christians.
