+93 The only reason christians get a bad rep is because of these churches that are determined to get attention by doing something outrageous that is very un-christian-like. We aren't bad people; we don't believe in hatred or discrimination, yet one bad story and we're branded as wild, cruel, stupid rednecks for life. amirite?

no, it's because people aren't perfect, even Christians, and sometimes we make mistakes. we shouldn't pretend like we are perfect if we are not.

we may not be perfect, but we are far from what the media makes us out to be sometimes because of a church that protests or says something incredibly stupid and short-sighted. That was probably the OP's point...

You shouldnt just group people together and think that they are all the same just because they share their religion. I have met Christians that are really nice and Ive met Christians that are complete jerks. Were not all exactly the same so we all shouldnt be judged based on what one other Christian did.

guess what, people are people. you may be a certain religion, but that is only part of what makes you you. lay off the stereotypes.

All the Christians I've met are either racist, close minded, ignorant, annoying or criminals. Just saying...

I am a Christian and I try to live my life the way God wants me to: praising Him, not judging people, not taking the wrong roads. notice i said TRY. God knows we're not perfect. sometimes i judge ppl then i take a step back and ask for forgiveness because only God can judge us. i agree that a group of ppl should not be stated as acting a certain way because of their religion, race, etc. we're all people and we all have different personalities. I think the world has forgoten that being a Christian is not only a religion but a way of life and it's the people that treat is as a hobby that make it seem so bad.
