I'll post a link in a minute, but look up rice Christians. Forced conversion by withholding aide to those who do not convert.

just because someone gives themselves the label of ''christian'' obviously doesnt mean that they are.....christian means to be ''christ like'' and christ grants all people ''free will'' to decide to accept the gift of salvation or not..
It really saddens me that so many people lump all ''christians'' in the same category. I understand that its because of all the false christians proclaiming to be doing Gods work, when really they r just being hypocrital bullies! Those people are the devil's biggest asset......  

If you are not cut out for Christianity it is not a big deal. I was raised Catholic but I don't follow any religious based theology anymore.

The issue is many 'christians' don't set up a church to teach, they go out of their way to be pushy irritants. Believe it or not most of the world is aware who jesus christ was :-P.

I coming in all late to the party, but whatever lol

I just recently started following Christianity. I think the one thing that helps is finding a good church. There are plenty of bad churches out there, and it's not just the Christian churches, but other religions can have bad teachings too.

I also must add in here, (I haven't read all pages so forgive me if this topic was already discussed) but regardless there are going to be hypocrites or judgmental people in this world religious or not. My friends who are atheists automatically assumed I am now some goody-goody because I am a Christian, and if I sin they are always the first ones to point it out to me like I don't already know what I did was wrong. I'm a work in progress. I'm trying to be more Christ like, but it takes time especially because I never grew up religious. In fact, the ones who are always like "Christians are this, that, and the other" blaming Christians for being so judgmental are doing the same exact thing just they don't belong to a religion.

I honestly believe a lot of the younger generation (my generation and younger) are trying to change the bad stigma's that people believe and say about Christianity. As I said earlier, people seem to forget that we too are sinners. As Christians we should be actively trying to stop sinning. We know that. But to lump ALL Christians or their churches as bad is wrong too. I have met so many loving Christians and I also know some really mean atheists.

My internet got cut off for almost a week, but I'm back now! Some dumbo reset the connection box or whatever that supplied the internet to my area. It was like no one had internet ever here. o_O
