Bad Christians
Introduction
Christianity wouldn't be too bad, if one didn't have to deal with all the Christians. This is the attitude that most non-Christians express about their perception of Christians. In fact, Mahatma Gandhi once said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." However, there is a joke among Christians that expresses the reality of the situation. If you find the perfect church, don't join it - you'll wreck it. Christians are commonly described as being intolerant, old fashioned, self-righteous, lying hypocrites, who are out to turn the USA into a Christian theocracy. Does the Bible say that Christians are supposed to behave this way?
