This, I would contend, is not even Biblical.

Thank you for sharing your words.

Great! You can spew platitudes you’ve heard from the pulpit. If you have anything of actual substance to contribute, please do. Otherwise please shuffle on to your next hit and run.

Every person in the bible was flawed. the difference is faithfulness, love, and fruitfulness. If you cant find anyone walking out true christianity, then God must have called you to be an example by following Him the Christ-like way, to show other people. Now pick up your cross! And work out your own salvation so that others may know that God is real.

Amen, Amen and Amen

Sorry, I don’t think anyone who has decided that God isn’t real is going to be worried about “sacrilege”. If God is fictional, then sacrilege is an invented offense. No person is harmed when someone commits “sacrilege” – it’s just something churches use to scare people into obedience. Try a different argument.

“Don’t judge God by the people He’s trying to save.”
It is indisputable that there are bad Christians – in fact, there are more days when I’m chief among sinners then days when I am a good example. As God is the Judge; it’s sacrilege to judge God by the people he’s trying to save. You need look no further then any Biblical character (beside Jesus) to see flawed people.
My advice look for what the Christians are doing right, rather then what they are doing wrong. To me, that is the mark of a true Christian. Someone who fails, but looks at the successes of others and tries to emulate them.
And for those many days where the devil celebrates because of my actions: I am sorry. That advice to apologize for our faults from Blue Like Jazz is the best advice I have ever heard.
