Anyone who wishes something as despicable as rape on another human being is NOT a true Christian. Maybe you should ask them what would Jesus do. That should shut them up.

All of that being said, I agree that some people are a bad representation of Christians... so I don't fault all of you because of them.

People who deny other peoples rights are also not Christian. People who denounce other religions and think theirs is the "only way" are not true Christians either.

Sounds like all/most of you, so are you all fake Christians?

First you sensationalize the rape of a lesbian woman to spout hate and ignorance about heterosexuals, now you spout hate and ignorance against Christians.
Sounds like you don't give a damn about the rape, you just needed a vehicle to spread your hatred of straight people and Christians.

By the way Christians don't say theirs is the only way, the words of Jesus Christ says that.
I'm not going to get into a debate of whether you choose to believe the words or not, I'm just stating so that you know, the bible makes that statement, not men.

1. The Bible, which real Christians follow, tells us that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Anyone who says otherwise is not a true Christian.
2. Christians do not seek to deny other people rights. The right to marry is available to all within the definition of marriage as a union between a man and woman. If gays want to legalized their union, then they should use another term because marriage = union between a man and woman.

Nor could I fault you for the actions of the Jewish Defense League.

It is not hate or ignorance. It is the sad truth. I do give a damn about the rape. It angers me what gays/lesbians and women go through.

The Bible was written by man..so the man makes statement. Logic, anyone?

Nowhere in the Bible does God instruct men to victimize women. In fact, God tells husbands that they are to love their wives as Christ loved the church. What did Christ do for the church? He laid down His life for the church and that is the type of sacrificial love that God calls husbands to show their wives - A love that puts the wife's well being before his own.

Jesus spent a large part of His ministry ministering to women and others who society deemed as sinners and outcasts because He loves them. This is the type of love that Christians are called to have for non-believers.

I know that this rape also angered God very deeply as well.
