How many times are poor people mentioned in the Bible?
How many times does it say in the Bible to help poor people?
I never, ever heard a bunch of Christians insisting another Christian is NOT a Christian.
I never heard of a Christian Religious leader praying for the death of another Christian.
I didn't know that praying for death could attract other Christians.
Strange times.
A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama's death.

Funny thing, I have heard of those things.
Why are you so shocked, Christians suppose to have standards, and if they see someone behaving in the most turn of the stomach type of way, they exclaim "S/He is not a Christian!"
They do this to child molestating priests, serial rapists and murderers/cannibals.
Which brings me to an old question--How do you tell if someone is or is not christian. I always thought if you believe in the New Testament and accept Jesus as your lord and savior Then you are a christian regardless of what dispicable sin you've commit.
JAMES 2:
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
A real Christian would NOT say to a poor person "I hope you stay warm and take care!" and walk away. A real Christian would do what they were able to help that person, even if it were to give them a dollar.
I'm always really surprised in your posts...you seem to hate religion so much but you're always quoting the Bible. Are you sure you don't believe?
