Jesus Christ taught no violence, but our Christian religion is full of it.

Don't mistake Christ for Christianity or Christianity for Christ!

Jesus weeps.

What I find ironic is that many Christians will loudly condemm Muslims for not speaking out about the terror acts committed by their fellow Muslims but many Christians can't even bring themselves to admit that the Norwegian terrorist was a fellow Christian. The hypocrisy is disgusting.

At some point, it stops being hypocrisy, it starts being their natural self.

Because it's always easier (and more convenient) to find fault in other religions, but not in one's own.
Plus, the US media sides with the christians.

I wasn't really what one is feeling about self, rather what one demonstrates to the world to be.

I will believe it when I see it, True Scotsmen and Real Christians are like Sasquatch. There have been many sightings claimed, but nobody has yet to capture one in the wild.
